READERS UNITED

Hi all!  {:-)  I'm scared to post a title, lest it not let me write a message.  Maybe I'll post this, and then try again using a title. . . 

Amanda, Yes, thanks, the party was great!  I'll do that kind of party again any day. . . {:-) 

Wow, a 2 1/2 week vacation -- some kids have all the luck, eh?  I'm really glad she's having a good time!  Kids seem to have to grow up way too soon now-a-days.  *sigh* 

School shopping -- that is one thing I DON'T miss at all!!! 

I got 2 Presents from TellH.  One is the same as you got:  "His Final Bargain", and the other is "Forgiven But Not Forgotten?" by Abby Green.  I believe both authors are NTM, as I very seldom read Presents (I used to, but just got away from it over time). 

My youngest daughter and her husband are major stressed right now.  They just learned that the house they live in is on the verge of being repossessed by the bank because they're 2 months behind on the mortgage payments.  It's a long story -- short version is they were making the mortgage payments in lieu of rent, because the house was supposed to have been theirs, but someone screwed up and the co-signer ended up as the owner.  Then he got into major financial trouble, Revenue Canada ended up freezing all his assets, reversing 2 month's mortgage payments and taking the $$ for themselves.  This happened back in Jan, and our daughter is just finding out about it now.  (the person who told them could be fired if it was ever found out that she told, as it's technically not their account, it has the other guy's name on it) At any rate, if they can't come up with $1100 in two weeks, they could be out on the street.  Rather, they would be living in their RV in our back yard, and all their furniture would be stored either in our house, or our garage.  Sheesh!  What a mess!!!  Oh yes, their girls would be living in our basement. . .  I don't even want to think about moving all my craft stuff. . . 

Hopefully this will post.  Have a good week, everyone.
