another insight ..

remember?? my strategy?? the first place called - which is nice and about 15 miles from where I am now ... and called at 9am ... well, the 2nd place also called and left a message around 2pm ... when I called at 420pm - she was gone for the day ... so, I'll call in the morning.

do I stick with my strategy?? it seemed to work .. and I have no problem with it .. just that my friend 'wants' to know what the 2nd place has to say - because they are here in town (the view of the lake) ... she had a situation way back 20 years ago in this little town I'm going to - so, she's not real happy about it .. altho, she keeps saying 'it's not her decision to make' ...

I'm thinking that the cost comparison will be the same, and when the SSDI kicks in - it'll be the same for either, but MORE expensive at the 2nd one ...

I'm trying not to think of it .. and trying to not 'over-analyze' ...

keep the insights coming!! thanks all!

and Kay .. well, you're forgiven ... I 'figured' you wouldn't be able to hold out for too long!
