Maybe this is not the right place for this but I'm too excited to NOT post this. My wife and I put an offer in on a house yesterday and it was accepted!! After many years of renting, we finally will own our own!!!

I've owned before but with the divorce and all, my ex and I agreed to an equitable split which left her with the house. Ever since I've been renting, I've since remarried, and we have wanted to buy for a while. So many of our friends kept buying and FINALLY it was our turn!! It has everything we need and want and it's in a great neighborhood. I want you ALL to come over for an open house sometime in November!!!!! You would do that for me, wouldn't ya????

Woo woo, Pseudolus, bully for you! I'm still renting too, my X2B has the house... But whenever I think about buying, I think about the car I'd rather have first anyway, right now!

And about your open house - my old linguistics professor had a party when she got her new one. The invitations read, come to our How Swarming party. I thought it was pretty funny...And someone else had a Bring Your Own Chair housewarming, as they had the party before they bought furniture to see what else they'd need!

Congratulations, Pseudolus! Home ownership is a lot of work, worry, and effort, but it's well worth it! You must not have told them you're a musician. **BG**

Now for the fun part - moving.

Wow, great!
There's nothing like feeling settled into a real place of your own...
I love travelling, but I like it best when there's some place where I can go home.
I don't know you, but I'd come if you were near Orillia...
Sing a song fer me at yer party, okies?
Many blessings on your home.

Pseudolus: "Wine, that you will never be thirsty; bread that you will never be hungry; and salt to spice things up." or something like that. Be very, very happy. And fill it with friends as fast as you can. Then it becomes your own.

Frank, we will all be happy to attend in our way and I wish you the best of luck in your new home. Now you get to fix all that crap that keeps breaking like your landlord used to do. Gawd, I love home ownership.

Great News! I hope you and yours will be very happy in your new home.

And don't even take time to ponder the words of a great and wise man (Utah Philips) who once said, "Never own anything you need to feed or paint!"

I think the rest of that blessing that Sinasull mentioned includes ashes and a broom. There is more than that too. Does anyone remember it all?

I recently went to a friend's housewarming and took the traditional gifts competely forgetting that her allergies prevented her from enjoying either the bread or the wine. Ah well, live and learn.

Pseudolus, I just moved into a house, but we're just renting. Actually, we're still moving... it is very hard. I cannot wait til we settle and can begin enjoying our home.

I would love to come to your housewarming party. Where are you? Everyone seems to know, but I haven't been in here a lot lately. Hopefully that will change soon.

Good luck and best wishes from Annamill and Honey.

Love.

Frank,

I'm happy for you. The week before I had a similar experience with an acceptance, so I know exactly how excited you are. It is just wonderful to have a place that you can call yours. In my case, I'm not sharing it with anyone but that is how things are. Got a few guests planned. Nobody to say at what level the music should be or even if it should be.

"Home is where the heart is," from a song by Holly Near. May you be heart-full and happy!

A Landsman, bflat

Naemanson: Utah was quoting Billy Rose.

And, to quote comedian Allan King; "Anyone who owns his own home deserves it."

Congrats anyway. It is a thrill.
