VN :> Hey, I'm BACCCKKKKKKKKKKKK! At least, I hope so. My Yeah!!!! Glad to see you back. VN :> I am staying with my aunt; she is very nice and it VN :>almost feels like home but I found the place that I want VN :>and made an offer on it. It has horse privileges but no VN :>horse setup, and right now I am pretty happy with where VN :>they are so I am in no great rush to move them. It is a Sounds good! VN :>very centrally located. It's got TWO houses on it, a 3 VN :>bdm., 2 FULL bath house with a dining room, etc., as well VN :>as a guest house with 720 square feet. Which is almost as VN :>big as the first house I owned was! It's also got a full VN :>living room and full bath - the full bath part I am VN :>particularly happy with as I am tired of HAVING to take VN :>showers when what I REALLY want is a BUBBLE BATH! 2 houses, huh.....you could start doing a bed and breakfast for all us frozen northeasteners (g)! VN :> I already have mental plans to fence in the whole VN :>thing with an electric gate out front, maybe get a VN :>miniature horse or two and a llama so I won't have to do VN :>yardwork! Oh, yeah, the trees there are HUGE! Both houses VN :>are slump block so they won't need to be painted. And both VN :>have fairly new heating and cooling systems. What's "slump block"?? Whatever it is, if it doesn't need painting, it must be great!! Whole setup sounds pretty good, Vic. Glad things are moving in your direction. Hey, did you get my note? I'm still trying to find a time to call (g)!! Keep in touch!!

It may have a lot to do with where the alfalfa was grown, too. In our area, the ground AND the water are so alkali we seem to have a greater concentration of the problems that contribute to the stones. --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: The Union Jack BBS, Phoenix, AZ, USA. 602-274-9921 (1:114/260) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E2F00006 Date: 02/10/97 From: VICKI NICHOLS Time: 08:32pm \/To: ALL (Read 1 times) Subj: "Spotty" participation Well, I have only signed on this BBS a couple of times and had a few minutes to read messages. When I next get on it says I haven't read ANY of the messages in the base, so apparently I missed some. If you posted a message to me and I didn't answer it, I didn't ignore it! It's just that I am very limited as to the times that I can tie up my aunt's phone line. March 17 is the target date for the houses. I prequalified for the loan today after signing the contract Saturday, so I am VERY EXCITED! Maybe then I can get back on here on a regular basis.
