I like it! And since that cat doesn't have $10 worth of meat on him it offsets the chance that he'll be acquired for dishonorable purposes.
Thanks BB. I hope it works. This moving crap. Absolutely no fun. In two days I have a new home in Hawaii. Nice place, cool Kona breeze most all of the time. But, it's for my wife. I'm not looking forward to living there. Giving to much up here. I'm renting this house out. I'm going to find a place, like a room to stay in for awhile until I find a good job in Hawaii. There is nothing wrong with where we live except my wife hates it. I'm a foolish, PW'd arse.
When I first went back to HI in April, wife wanted to look for a place. The interest rates were at an all time low. She got a Realtor. He wasn't really that good at finding us a place. Then again, I was only there a week so my wife found a place. He was however, very good at winning a bid and the loan officer was also very good. We found a place. Our offer was accepted. I was shocked. Then we went through the loan process and I thought for sure we'd be shot down. Part of me was hoping we would be. Nope. If I'm being honest, there is something wrong with that. I make a pretty decent salary. It's not extraordinary but not bad either and I do have a retirement pension.
Wife did the walkthrough of the house on Father's Day. Get's the keys on Thursday.
Cockroaches! She did the walk through and tons, well maybe not tons, but lots of cockroaches. That's Hawaii, no matter where you live, if you don't annihilate them they are strong. Termites too, but this place we bought is termite free. The Realtor said he would ask the owner to have an exterminator spray the nuclear defiant little bastidges before keys were handed over in a few days.
I'm pretty much at my wits end. That's why when I post these days they are long. On one hand. I just bought a house in Hawaii. On the other hand, I'm giving up (for my wife) my home where everybody knows my name, and I like my neighbors, for her. In the end I believe Hawaii is a beautiful if not small assed island. I loved it there while in the military, probably because it was shorterm. Living there longterm was out of the question which to be quite honest was a saving grace. Live in paradise for awhile but you don't have to give up everything to live there forever. Of course, if you are born and raised there you'll never know what you gave up.. I wasn't born and raised there.
Ending this post because trying to read through it even gets me confused.
Goodnight HBT.
