Good News Bad News Tuesday
Posted by Nancy on May 6, '08 10:39 AM for everyone

It has been a while since I did a Good News bad News Tuesday blog so I thought I might as well try it today.

Bad News:  

We are still having trouble with our next door neighbors and the loud bass music from the stereos, and the Mocking us, and the calling of names, and threats of burning our house down they are doing.

Good News:

I spoke to our landlord's wife about it and she is going to have our landlord talk to their landlord about it. Hopefully that will solve the problems from this 30 something year old man and his 50 something year old father.

Bad News: 

It does not look like we are going to be able to move to Kansas very soon.

Good News: 

We are looking at a Mobile home to purchase. The cost is $10,900.00 delivered.

Outside

What we are thinking about doing is Buying the mobile home (Not this one but one like it) and putting it on the property where my grandparents mobile home used to sit until it burned down. This is out in the country next door to my cousin Jeff's house. We still plan to move back to Kansas in the future and we do not want to have to deal with having to sell the home when when are ready to move. So we plan to make payment and once the Mobile Home is payed off it will become the property of my cousin Jeff. We will no longer have to pay rent from the time it is payed off until we plan to move. And because we will not be owning the mobile home we will not be paying land rental. The property is already set up for gas water and electric so that will not be a problem. When we get ready to move after the pay off, Jeff will have a place that one of his children (he has a 17 year old son) can live in, Or he can rent it out and make a profit from it.

I have prayed about this, and am still praying about this, But I do not have that at peace feeling that I feel I should have with a decision like this. I suppose I will keep praying and asking for guidance.

Much Love & Many Hugs

If you decide you really do like the mobile home, can you not take it with you? Or, let Jeff split the rent, if he wants to rent it out. I'm not sure I'm reading it correctly, but it sounds like you're paying for the home, then giving it to Jeff to do with what he wants?

If you do not have a peaceful feeling about it... do not act on it. Listening to your intuition is very important!

Yes Frank you read that correctly...We are planning to buy it and then give it to Jeff when it is paid off.


Basically what it boils down to is because my credit is shot thanks to my last ex husband, I will not qualify for the loan. Jeff has excelent credit and He will get the loan in his name and we will make all of the payments just as if it were rent. Once it is paid off then we will be rent free. With no land payments.

I do not want to be tied in Arkansas any longer than necessary...If it were up to me we would be packing to move to Kansas now. But financially that is not possible either.

Well, I done the rental thing, and done the owning thing, I got to admit, Rent Free is better. At least when it's paid off you'll not have a house payment or lot rent. My thoughts and prayers are with you on this, if its meant to be, it's meant to be. Can't blame you for wanting not to live in Arkansas either, if I wasn't tied to the land the way I am, we'd be living in the condo in Florida.

You are so right Michelle, This is part of what is holding us from making this decision.

I am not sure if my feelings of un peace come from the knowing that my mom will be upset if we decide to do this. Or if they are because of another cousin that lives on the other side of Jeff who is very nice and all but he has a major drug problem, I do not want to put Codey in the position where my cousin may try and influence him to go back to that life style. Codey has been off the alcohol and pot since 1998 and I am proud of him.

I will continue to pray about this and see where the Lord leads us.
Thank you for the great advice Michelle.

Wow a condo in Florida...Not for me.. hurricanes and such.

Every since I left Kansas when I married my frist husband in 1984 all I wanted was to go home. Three divorces later and I am still not back home.

Thank you for the prayers and thoughts. Much appreciated.

Oh, I just saw this, I can't say I blame you. About the only way someone can stay away from drugs thats been in it is to NOT be around it. Having someone close by that's into it is not a good thing. I'm speaking from experience here. That is something that you have to really distance yourself from, even to the point of giving up friends that are into it. That would be like an alcoholic living next door to a bar. I know if I get around someone say smoking pot, I still have the want to do it also, so I totally stay away from it and I'm fine. There's more to it of course, but I really don't want to go that much into it on an open blog. I've been clean since 1994.
