Looks like the person on the list ahead of us may have purchased it anyway so c'est la vie.

Slow down there tiger.. I'm guessing since there was a waiting list this was NOTHING but a new house? Can you share what village?

My husband was kind of concerned because I wasn't that excited about it, but I know better. We have so many stipulations at this point that I hold off on getting too involved until he gets through his checklist first. If it makes it through that process, THEN I'll get excited and make sure it passes mine. We did learn some things from it though so our efforts weren't all for NAUGHT.

Don't even -

NAUGHT = NOTHING

NAUGHT means NOTHING only on Fridays. I saw that once in the manifesto. You're safe.. :icon_wink:

Hey, don't blame me - I was busy working on paying bills and other fun paperwork today until I was rudely interrupted - lol

It was in one of the new villages down south. It really was just an even exchange for a bigger garage. I'm looking for more than a bigger garage but not for NOTHING that's a debate for another day.......

Just like a little kid. Always trying to push the limits.. As they say, it's easier to get NOTHING than it is to get permission.

I'll be a Sun of a gun. I'm still not over our disappointment. Is it NOTHING more than my age? Am I getting to be a big Marshmellow in my old age? Normally it would be skew them and onto the next victim.

I NOTHING but feel the pain that you feel.

I put in a call to The Villages Office and got a return call this past Thursday and calmly explained how we were hosed. I was assured that an investigation would be conducted and I would have an answer to my concern. They can stuff the house now because any house you have to work this hard to get just would turn out to be a nightmare.

I just want the courtesy of an answer. I have a feeling that the nice letter that we wrote wasn't presented if our offer was made at all.

A four-car garage, do you realize how much beautiful trouble I could NOTHING but get into? :1rotfl:

Mrs. Abby yous guys and us guys are going to turn out like the Mrs. FW guys, in time. K-man also. Might have been 3 cars and 3 or 4 carts, it was massive.

There's NOTHING but this little prayer we know. It says something about accepting the things we can not change.. :boxing2:

The truman show - raining - YouTube

Some days I feel NOTHING like this but not today as it is really pouring out the this 12/14/2018.

This does happen in the Villages sometimes when you can go across the street almost and it is not raining. It will probably move soon though and will get you.


The Truman Show is still one of my favorite movies even after 20 years.

Oh Yeah, you got that one off good. Ain't it the truth. With me, these things are a process. At least now I can drive by the house without growling. I don't accept defeat too well, still. I know for sure we will NOTHING but blow that house outta the water and if I don't get a call by Tuesday then it will have to be with an MLS agent.

That's gonna be their small piece of acceptance. Plus I've got a big :blahblahblah: :blahblahblah: :boom: BLABBERMOUTH!! :boxing2::1rotfl::1rotfl: I hope they give me a splanation I could Berry Berry Easily accept.

So appropriate. It goes Nothing like this:

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Just remember Nucky, this too shall pass.

Was too late to get the dog out to pee and not for not trying. I did NOTHING else but try to get out in the rain but it was a no go but at least prevented the poop from dropping.

And I actually won last night in my 41st FunTrivia Weekly Knockout round. FunTrivia Knockout This Week Two weeks in a row with victories. NOTHING but proud of myself even though that will put me up in even tougher weekly tournaments.

My virtual reality buddy ZCaveman used to win these every so often too but he unfortunately passed a few years ago. I think of him often as he was a good Talk of the Villages' friend who was also an internet wiz.

Wow, late night NOTHING is back, with a twist in a different direction and later than ever. I think all you guys were just about going to bed when I was getting up!

It's Saturday, December 15th, and I'm off to work. It'll be a long day - one person short today, dinner with one of the owners after work, then some Christmas shopping which just the thought of makes me cringe. NOTHING I dislike more than Christmas shopping, but one more gift to go......

Nucky, I was going to contact you yesterday to take a look at the place we were considering but there ended up being no need to do so. I'm not so disappointed because it probably wouldn't have been our last home. I'm pretty content to move into our current place until we decide what we really want/need. Then we probably won't move again. Heck, we've been in our home up north here for 32+ years. Actually, I'm pretty sure I dislike moving more than Christmas shopping - lol. Anyway, hope you get some satisfaction from the sales office. My agent has been so over the top good that I had no idea there were any bad ones.

All things happen for a reason Nucky. You really wanted a CYV and maybe this is Gods way of telling you that is what you need. The CYVs are safer in a hurricane and better with a dog. Stay NOTHING but positive.
