114 today @adiantum - good luck with move! past taught me house is not an investment when you take mortgage, its an expense; so find some place comfortable to live, located exactly where you want to be - the smaller the better

Tied with @Kit

156 today - ate late, went to bed late, woke up early. Have to see tomorrow's number, hope it is not going to be a trend of much higher BG readings. Rain is over, sun out, and I have new grill to assemble

7.6 I snacked on so much crystallized ginger that it became a meal. I have difficulty knowing when to stop. @FunDad62 ...I've had no issues.

116 today, has been raining 2 days and 40F at night. On the bright side, colder nights extended tulips and daffodils bloom time. Looking forward to sunny weekend 🌞

125 Is anyone else having issues with the forum displaying properly the last couple of days? Both in Google Chrome and IE.

96 here Heard back from doctor. She's calling in a new med for me to try. Should be able to pick it up this evening. Wish me luck.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Life goes on, right? I am glad you were able to sell and not have to just leave it sit empty. Living in your memories it is still a part of you. hugs, j

A 70 (3.89) today. I told my daughter that, if I should die and she has to try to sell my house, to just burn it down and sell the land that it was sitting on....that would be a lot easier on her.😄 Actually, I told her that, if she has to sell my house, to have it appraised, then sell it for $30,000 less than the appraised value, and to sell it as-is. Any prospective buyers who would look over the house, and ask to have certain things fixed (mainly just cosmetic stuff), to just tell them that, the house is being sold for $30,000 under market value so that the buyer would have that $30,000 to fix whatever they wanted, in whatever way they wanted. If no one wanted to buy the house as-is and expected everything to be fixed, to go ahead and fix it, but to sell it for the appraised value. My house isn't worth that much anyway, considering the area that I live in. This area isn't a high dollar area, it's just an average area, with very low crime rate (I have never heard of any crimes being committed in my area). I had this house built some 40 years ago, and back then, this house...a three bedroom raised rancher with hardwood floors, and a one car garage, sitting on 1.2 acres of land, sold for $38,000. Today, it's worth maybe $170,000, based on the bank's appraisal of it. I've put in a finished family room in the basement, and had the 140 foot driveway blacktopped, and planted numerous bushes and trees, as well as had vinyl siding installed, a new roof installed, new storm windows, rain gutters and downspouts installed, a new French door installed to replace my sliding glass door to my back porch, a new garage door with a garage door opener installed, a new cement back porch installed, and a few other minor things that I've added. Of course, if my daughter had to sell my house, unless she wanted it, she could throw in my 4 wheel drive garden tractor with the 54 inch mowing deck, 46 inch snow blower, with the wheel weights and tire chains, although that cost me $17,000, but it would add incentive to a prospective buyer. I like this house because I've lived here for 40 years, so it's comfortable, plus I know all of the quirks the house has, and I know how to deal with them. I guess most people feel this way, but when I come home from someplace, as I turn into my little cul-de-sac road and see my house, I get a happy, comfortable feeling inside, because I know I am home. It's my little piece of the world.☺️

111 roday. Selling our dream house is a painful memory to me, during recession we struggled on one income to keep it or sell it and there were no buyers. We both took a job at Walmart to make ends meet and avoid filing bankruptcy. Saved on everything, every dime literally. Lost all we had, then in 2013 out of the blue came buyers and made lowball offer; our agent was able to get it sold for the price equal our mortgage but we had to get out in 3 weeks. It was like fire sell, all personal boxes went on 10 foot Uhaul truck I was driving off on Good Saturday (they tuned us out on Easter). I gave a great houling cry in the empty house and drove off. When I look back it makes me angry, I don't think I cried since... Hang in there adiantum!
