    People who look at houses when they know they're out of their price range.

    bang head against wall.

    Someone today, they're like, ohhhh, I love it and it's exactly what I've been wanting. BUT, I don't know if we can do the price.

    Really? Houses have prices listed. Make an offer or don't show up and waste everyones time.

    We live super close to Ohio - it's only $3.35 there right now. It's $3.99 in good ole PA.

    My electric bill also doubled. I just figured it was because I've been running a stock tank heater for the cows and a heat lamp. It's my highest electric bill ever since owning this house.

    Well this morning they had my Mom bathed and she looked a lot better. Met with the medical staff There is sever brain damage and bleeding, they do not believe that she will ever function. I guess I have to consider she will die where she wanted to be. I am glad that I came down to be with my Dad and little sister, I know it would be awful to be back in Minnesota wondering what is going on. My Mom was a spitfight, a handful, toughest person I have ever known, I know she would not want to be kept alive in her current state.

    If it were an open house, I'd see that...but it's for sale by owner. But, too funny about sister, lol.

    Sota, hugs to your entire family.

    That's a horrible call to get and meeting to take. I'm praying for wisdom for you as it sounds like some tough decisions may lie ahead.

    This entire situation happened because my mother was stubborn and refused help, even to get up out of bed. Pig headed pride had she asked for help different outcome however you can not second guess that. **** part is my mother would have insisted that I go to the conference next week, so I will show must go on.

    That is a tough situation. So sorry. With mom it was the same. We should have made her leave the farm but she loved the place and living there. The sisters tried and she told them to stuff it. Was so proud of her for that. Stubborn runs in our family especially on the Sand side, ( mom's ). Dad always said I seemed to have more Sand blood in me. Usually said it when I was butting heads with him growing up. Mom would just smile. I think that comment always made her day more than mine. :evilgrin:

    I had to do this about 4 years ago ! I spent a lot of time with mom, so i knew her desires, Made the decision much easier ! Was still very difficult, I was lucky enough to be holding her at last breath, Will never forget ! your a good Boy !
