I got a call this morning from my Lawyer's office again. She had two pieces of information.

We put our house for sale at $163k. Selling at this price would represent a loss for us.
We also put $2500 worth of upgrades and repairs into the [...]

Thanks to those of you who chimed in to my call for opinions regarding our moving situation. (Actually, most of the responses are on the LiveJournal version of that entry, if you'd like to read the discussion yourself.) And, if you haven't yet, your opinion is still considered valuable so, please, let me know what [...]

"Oh baby! Just looking at the big sexy thing gives me shivers all over. Oh my! Can I touch it? Pleeeease?"
