You are doing too many 'fallings over' - I am getting worried about you !

Dea Xxx

Oh I couldn't resist that one ;-)

The way things are just now doesn't matter the length of the mortgage the poor kids can't get one anyway.

I had to go for a cat nap cos I was shattered after GD left ;-)

Cynthia I am having my hair done tomorrow don't know if I will get my head massaged but I would enjoy it :-)

Now where are you all hiding

Off for a nosey

Cynthia
I missed your post about falling over hope you are ok.
No more wine for you tonight ;-) <3

Cyns....been at the sherry again?


Oooo.... hope you are OK?

I is a bit scared of falling now - since they told me I had severe Osteo porosis !!

I think that means that if I fall, I could probably break 'all of me' in one go !!

Hope Cynths has not got any problems like that as she seems to be making quite a habit of it !!

Hope you are O.K. Cynths - nite nite from me - I will check on you in the morning !!

Dea Xxx <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hope you are not too bruised tomorrow <3 <3 <3

Went to the Cardiology Clinic, technician started prepping me for a 24 hr Holten Monitor, as stated on the requisition ............. asking questions all the time.

Finally she asked what I was being tested for

High blood pressure



oooooooooops ........ Holten monitor doesn't measure that, it's for heart function.


She then phoned my doctor's office, another doctor on duty today (but also one I know) ..................... she thought it was wrong, so over-rode the order on the requisition, and told the tech to do a blood pressure monitor.


Off to another examination room


Now have a blood pressure cuff on my right arm, the monitor attached to a belt at my waist, and rubber tubing connecting them

It beeps about every 20 minutes as it takes the bp ............. it'll change to once every hour from 10 pm to 6 am.



she said "you might be able to get some sleep" :-(



I think OH will be back in the basement tonight!!!!!! :-D :-D

We had a 25 year mortgage on our house, starting in 1972

We then almost doubled it in 1977 so we could do an extension .............. the assessor at that point said "Are you sure you know what you are doing?? Your house is going to be worth much more than others in the neighbourhood. It will be hard to sell your house."

We said we weren't interested in selling ........ we intended to live in it.


............ so he approved the increase.


We always paid more every month than was required, except for one year when OH was on 75% pay because he was on sabbatical leave.


We paid it off about 8 years early




................. and our house is now worth over 1700% of that 1977 mortgage


yes, I DID say 1700%!!!!!

or over 3,000% of what we paid in 1972 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0


Some of our neighbours are now living in houses they also bought in the 1960s or early '70s, and those houses are valued at over $1 million ........

................ they are on larger lots than ours (40' wide versus the 33' wide of ours), and that is where the value is. The lots are all the same depth ...... around 120-130'


it's called cash poor, property rich!!!

Just checking in before going to bed
