Just a little back ground.... my DBF is a Boatbuilder and a year an and a half ago (the summer this trip I am on with MS started) we had to close it down for there had been no yacht's sold in a year. Come to find out the sales man that we had had a lot to do with that but that is another story.....

so, since we closed the shop we have had serious money issues. Two weeks ago DBF found out the house is going under foreclosure and we need to move. The last week I have been calling every rental property in the local paper but there are not a lot there..... We are going to look at a house today but they do not want dogs but are willing to let us see the house. The owner is a friend of DBF's and know's he keeps the dogs clean. And then I found one last night online that sounds reasonable that we are going to call on this morning. It seems like when we find one that will take dogs when we call it is already taken.

I look around the house and wonder how we are going to get all this stuff out of here..... DBF has lived here for 10 years and myself for three. I know it is just a house - just some boards and paint but I really do love this house. The set up is wonderful and perfect for the dogs. The next month or so is going to be hell for us - but we will just have to pull our toughness up and get through it....

Thanks for listening and letting me vent..... I am sure I am going to do a lot of it in the next few months. Just let me know if and when you get sick of it.

Vent away, my friend, and in the meantime, I'll be praying that somehow God will turn this into a "blessing in disguise". We care.

#$%^&*( Char,

This just bites! I don't even know what to say to make you feel any better.

Are you only looking up there or are you willing to look a little further south? I can send up some of the listings from this way if you like. Let me know!

We're here if you need to vent and you know that.

I know that this is hard to do right now in the midsts of all the pian.....start looking for the window my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know I am hare...right here if you need me!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sorry to hear of your misfortune I too recently went through the same thing. it was real bad , we got down to the day before the public sale and the mortg comp agreed to rework things out,

I got lucky, might be worth a shot, one more talk with them, not sure how defiant they are being, mine was very reluctant to help in anyway.

as it is I know how scary things are for your family my families prayers and thoughts, for a positive result, go out to you,

talk to a lawyer, there are some things that can be done, just be careful of what i called the house sharks, the first class mailings u are getting or soon will be from folks who want to buy your house and help u out of things,

yeah dont believe it they are trying to make a buck see if a realtor cant at least do a quick sale and keep the foreclosure off your credit

again sorry to hear whats hapening

Oh dangit, Char, that does bite the big one. Is this an opportunity for you to make a new start? You are working hard to improve your life, is it possible that this is part of the Master's plan for you?

Please be careful to avoid letting the stress take hold of you, kiddo, it can't help anything. You vent here as often as you need or want to and know that many of us are praying for your answers to come post haste.

Something will work and the dogs will be happy. Don't let the stress get ya! Good time to get rid of stuff you don't need anymore too!
