>me last minute and told me that they'd sold the 
>house and couldn't rent it to me -- those ones. 
>They said that the sale fell through and would I 
>want to rent the house again?  Lord, does this

>have a place to live other than my mother's

>this:  it cost me ten thousand dollars to move 
>everything into storage and some to my mom's 
>house.  There were 450 boxes.  I said that 
>yesterday, I think.  I keep getting surprised by

>another several thousand dollars moving 
>everything from storage into the rental, and 
>everything from my mom's house to pack up again 
>and send to the new house....the new house 
>doesn't even have a garage.  I'd have to find a 
>place to park on the street, and carry in 
>groceries from there.  I am licking my wounds

>expenditure of moving here, and to pick up and do

>disruption.......I don't know.  Anyone want to

>me.  I know, I know, get it in writing this time. 
>But get what in writing, and what about the fact 
>that there would be a year's lease, and what with 
>the upcoming sale of our old house, I'll be in a 
>position to buy a house.  If I'm in the middle of 
>the lease, how can I do that?  Oy oy oy.  Moving.
