Homes On Our Backs & The Loss Of Jobs In The Real Estate ' Field '.....Bri's Thoughts

Rating: 5.0


At this time of upheaval at our 'home', a house on a SC hillside,
where my 4th wife and I, for less than two years, now do reside,
I sit at her computer, my fingers poised over the keyboard's keys,
with summer shorts on and no shirt, exposing my chest and knees.

[ Oops! I got to the ending and realized I'd not yet told to YOU....
that my wife, AGAIN, wants to move! It's nearly making me 'blue'. ]

I'm 'not too happy', having now moved 3 times in less than 16 years.
It bugs/bothers me, if you want to know the truth, but not yet 'to tears'.
If real estate agents have skill, time, and luck they can earn a 'bundle',
a LOT of money, 'helping' others, from one home to another trundle **.

Sooo, why not carry one's home on one's back? There'd be less to pack! !
Like snails (with shell homes) we'd 'live off the land' ***, on grasses snack.
Ok! Maybe to try to stay out of trouble we'd have to rent a spot to settle,
for an hour, a day, a week, or longer, maybe even to set up a cooking kettle.

But it would STILL be 'easier' for some and more affordable for many! ! ! !

You have a knack for landing in a picturesque pickle. I hope you can live there a while longer and maybe regale us with poetic daydreams about animals and country living.

Denis, Unfortunately some of my pickles are not as sweet as I would like them to be. : )

Move to Durango, Colorado! You would love it here! Best place in the West!

Maybe I will, but I think YOU live there and I don't think any town 'has enough room' for both of us! !

I'm sending you a gallon of your favorite flavor of ice cream as consolation. It's coming by boat around the tip of South America, so I hope it is still frozen when it arrives.

Kim, you're (sort of) 'the best'. BUT I have several 'favorite flavors', one for each day of the week; Sunday's flavor is (of course) 'Chocolate Sundae'.

Bri may not even be still living there when it arrives!

Hey, Buddy, so sorry to hear that your wife wants to move AGAIN! From what you have told me about the place you now live, it seems ideal, and I can't figure out why she would ever want to leave it!

Well, MAYBE if I left she would stay! ! ! But I 'follow the money'. I sent you a message to partially-explain her reasons to move. : )
