Chase, I ALWAYS forget to include the note. ALWAYS. I don't know what would happen if someone actually got the letter that goes with my swap boxes. LOL No box here, even though I was gone all day. That's usually a sure way to get a box delivered, go somewhere. Mine is still here, I picked up another item today, one to go, if I can find it. If not, I'm going to have to go with a second choice. Sigh. Monday. I'm shooting for a Monday shipping date. Annie

So today's the day?

T, you're still not getting what I'm saying. lol. WiFi Adapter. Many older (and not so old) computers cannot access WiFi because they simply are not equipped to receive signals from WF routers. You buy an adapter to instantly receive signals from the WiFi router. I have 4 PC's, business and personal. Three of them are new, the other one is 11 years old. Works great, but it won't access the Internet because of not having the WiFi signal stuff already in it. It worked great with DSL. WiFi...no Internet. Hence, a WiFi adaptor is needed. It's no big deal, just a little adapter is all. Look it up.

NCrealestateguy, how do we know for sure at this point that the appraisal won't come in? I'm talking some years down the road, as I don't get the impression Cas is ready to sell right now. In the scenario I mapped out, I don't envision the new owner to be "an off the wall buyer" or that that buyer would be "over" paying. My point is, we don't know what the figures will look like in 5, 10 years. We may think we do, but we don't. You're the expert NCguy, not me, granted, but so much of this is like reading tea leaves. Afterall, who knew the economic downturn was going to hit, and impact quite the way that is has? (I know...many say they saw it coming and in graphic detail!) As for me, I am dedicated to taking care of my house and improving it, to the best of my ability, while not making outlandish changes that would be inappropriate to my neighborhood. I have faith that down the road, I will do fine when I sell, even though I "over" paid and indeed, was "an off the wall buyer" myself. Having said that, I DO think that people who bought in 2005-2006, who need to sell NOW, are in difficult straits. It's a shame that they can't wait it out. That paper loss will become real for them, and as one who looks at real estate daily, I know that there are plenty of people out there right now in this unfortunate circumstance. Some are choosing to rent out their houses if they must move, and rents, at least in my area, are quite high. That is a saving grace for many. I personally would not want to rent my house out, but it's a solution for some. Anyhoo, we can imagine the best as easily as we can imagine the worst, and so we might as well have faith in a good outcome.
