Sun May 10, 2009 10:25 AM EDT

Late last year in October I sold a house. I had put the house on the market in February 2008 and it sold October 24th, 2008. Along the way I had entered the boards of HGTV and requested help of any kind to see why I was having such a time selling this small house.

Comments & Feedback

Linda,
Thank you indeed for the kind comment left on my homepage. Or whatever it is. Still not to hep to these things. Heck, homepage sounds real respectable. I'm larnin though. Its like one of those little epiphanies that runs through yer head but you just can't get a handle on it. Its there for a nano second but gone just as fast. I am powerful glad I gave you a smile though. Life is awful random. It is full of horrific and terrifying happenstance. If we can't find a place where we can smile there doesn't seem to be much point in sloggin through it.

Best atcha
