    Cash is always king when it comes to real estate. When a buyer has contingencies such as needing to sell a house or qualify for a mortgage, the seller will always go for the cash offer even if that offer is slightly less. Don't fret too much, you will eventually find the house that you both love.

    Didn't realize you never used the washer dryer before, the neighbors must have had a giggle with you hanging your clothes around,lol. I felt that you and Keegan still were connected to that house, but since you said nothing, I thought I was imagining things. So sorry, you were so close, but if it's meant to be like you said it may still happen. Good to hear you are feeling better Joel, thanks for the update!💕👍

    The headache you mentioned is what I’ve been dealing with lately. What I discovered is that basically, it’s what’s called a cervicogenic headache. It’s caused by tight muscles on your neck which puts pressure on your nerves where they enter your skull at the base of your head. The remedy for that is physical therapy; I started it recently and it has all but gotten rid of it. They have you do daily stretches they keep the muscles loose.

    On your way to Tampa between Orlando and Tampa is the gay campground called Sawmill Campground. We have gone there many times there's usually about at least 500 gay guys there. Some camp in tents and RVs and some have cabins. They have a disco dance club and trails to go hiking and a large build in pool and all kinds of functions. You should check it out for the day it doesn't cost that much to get in for a day pass. It's a lot of fun❤

      At least 60% of UK homes have a dryer. Dryers consume more energy than any other household appliance and are thus now frowned on in Europe. Americans don’t care about emissions, the US is one of the biggest polluters, the UK has reduced its emissions to those of the 1870s when it had less than half the population it has today.

He and his partner (Michael) are always doing a parady on their channel when he's not wrestling. Check them out. And I like your attitude about the real estate transaction.

    Sorry to hear you guys lost the house to a cash offer. That's the way the market has been in the States. All-cash everywhere and lots of it. Financed offers have little chance of being considered. Plus hedge funds and investors buying up all the turnkey inventory for rental/investment purposes. Beware of that reality if and when you consider a FL home. You may need to be ready to move "on demand," cash in hand, and no contingencies.
    Glad you're finally feeling better! Did you get that nasty flu going around the US, I wonder??? I hope Keegan had no "ill effects" from it. (haha) Boops to the doggos!
