Hello everyone! I'm going to buy a new Grand today and can't make up my mind on which LP/SL to choose. Do I pick a color or silver vein or hammer tone??? I don't know!

Are you buying it for you or me ?

good evening reoville.

happy, happy, happy day ! scored me a pre-loved mini 2.1 (metallic purple) along with a graal atty (local too) !
sorry rob - my next order with you will have to wait for now.

It won't wait long, trust me....

I love my silver vein sl/lp grand. It's nice and shiny and has a great feel. I like that it's almost black so any color of door looks great. I'm sure the hammertone would be the same way just gray.

My next one is going to be an all white sl/lp. I can't wait, the mini hasn't sold yet and still debating on whether I want to ask if someone wants to buy me one from Rob for my Cocobolo Woodvil. :)

Decisions decisions.

Why hasn't your mini sold ? I've never had a REOS mini last over six minutes in the ECF Classified....
There is Swap / Trade thread in REOVille, but it has to be REOS for REOS..

Good morning, everyone :)
Trying to enjoy my coffee...but the movers are on their way to scan the house and give us an estimate. Gotta corral the dogs so their out of the way and not barking as much....:laugh: Ya, right. Made a big dent in packing over the last few days...but have a bunch more to go. Getting kind of antsy....the house here is hot and uncomfortable and it's a right mess. The drywallers have slowed wayyyy down and I'm not overly happy....one guy doing the work. Would prefer it if there were at least 3. It's going to take him 3 times as long to get it done which means the schedule we currently have has to be pushed back, so now not sure if we're going to make our deadline. Which will cost us another month's rent & utilities, and 120 miles per day to transport Teagan to and from school.

Hahaha...ya, I wish. No this guy is good, but he's taking his time to do a good job. I have no wish to rush him, I just wish his boss didn't over schedule his crews so they could focus more on getting each job done in a timely manner. With the market slow down of recent years, folks are getting a little greedy and making promises they can't keep...in a timely manner. Basically, this guy works all day then towards the end of the day, dudes from other jobsites show up to give him a hand for a few hours then leave. This job should be done in a couple of days with a 3 man crew....as it is, it's going to take this guy well over a week....and the painters are scheduled to start on Monday....which isn't going to happen at this point. Our builder needs to start squeakin....

My goodness they were doing so good too! Not the kind of thing you want to have happen at all. You said before you believed in Murphy's Law and the other shoe might fall. Hopefully this is it and no more bad news!

Hopefully things change and you can get closer to the scheduled move date.

All you can do now is keep packing and getting ready for the move. Don't stress yourself out too much about things you can't change. It just doesn't do any good!

Use your energy and time to push forward and accomplish more each day.

Sometimes these things happen because they need too. We might not see why till later.

Stay positive sweetie!

I know, you're right. Wayne is the one who is stressing more than I am....as an old builder, this sudden change in pace isn't going over well with him. He's used to being the one who stands on the subs to make things happen within the schedule. But now, he's having to lean on the builder and he's getting grumpy that his concerns are not being addressed. I know we'll make it....regardless of our deadline, Its just our two week window is the best time to make it happen and everything else just becomes a very costly hassle. Johnny OCD with his schedule blown is having a very bad day. :laugh:

woohoo Im hooked up to my insulin pump now :D Hope everyones having a great day now I have to get my trailer cleaned out the kids have trashed it :(

That is great news Darrel! It may take a little time to get adjusted, but usually people do pretty well with it. I had one who had some trouble, but she kept candy on hand and finally managed to stop OD'ing her insulin. She was a type one, and was used to her regular schedule. I just remember she fiddled with it a LOT. She had mixed feelings on the whole thing though, so not sure about her compliance overall. I am sure you will do great and adjust quickly :)

I have no idea. It must be the marketing. I do admit it didn't look like I was trying that hard to sell it. I had a bite earlier we'll see how it goes. The price I shot him back seems low to me. Everyone acts like it has the plague since it doesn't have the sub-ohm kit installed. IT'S A MINI PEOPLE! LOL :)

From what I've read most who have issues really don't have a mind to work with so Im sure I will adapt quickly :lol: already I like the simplicity of it

I just bumped it for ya. GLWS, it looks just fine to me. I am a metal head Grand gal though, my poor mini sits unloved with all my woodvils, poor little things.

HI SCOTT and Arwin ;)

Good afternoon Reoville. Just getting caught up to all the news in the Reoville Gazette.

Good luck with the pump Darrel.
Lisa, it will get done, It will get done.
Dennis, kilts and gaba, good for you and stop blaming me for stuff! :laugh:
Karen, the kids are beautiful and I'm happy they are settling in. Here's two pics my daughter did of the grandkids

Scott, give Arwin a nuggie(?) for me.
Val, thats one ugly toe you are sporting. Wear a closed toe shoe so I don't have to look at it.
Good thoughts and moon beams go out to Jen and mom.
I know I missed a few folks. Sorry about that.
Some flowers in bloom in the front lawn. How I miss this time of year all winter long.

You said it better than I did. I used fancy nursey words like compliance to say it LOL. We have to say things like "unable or unwilling" when what we want to say is they are dumb as a rock, don't take care of themselves and will never learn. :lol:
