rofl  Very possibly. Maybe we should paint it white. I
remember telling an agent once that one house had too
much wallpaper. What I meant at the time was "my
husband is not allowed to use any tool which leaves it
all up to me and I am not tackling a house that needs
every room striped of hideous wallpaper.' So what
people say does not always tell the whole story.
We have had no one mention price so even though we have
had no nibbles, that has not been the sticking point
except in that it is not mark on the clearance rack. I
guess everyone else is tired of having open houses as
well cause the whole town is having only three that we
can find. A new one just around the corner went on the
market on Wednesday. It has 1700 sq ft and a new
kitchen and 2 new baths. 3 bd, 7 rooms Contractor
bought it at 375K and redid the floors, kitchen,
bathrooms, and put in a new furnace and central air. It
went on the market for $515K   Ours is 2578+300 more
for the laundry room area which is unfinished and we
have new that stuff too minus the central air and
priced at 539,900. So we wait.

Charlie is retired Air Force and I have never "moved"

Our first apartment, I really didn't own anything when we moved in.  When we
wee moved to Alaska, I went to work in the morning from our apartment, and
went home to my parents where we stayed the last few days before we left.
When we left Alaska, again I went to work in the morning and it was done by
the time I got off.  Our next place was here, they moved us in and we have
been here 24 years.  Also Charlie got moved around so much in his twenty
years, I'll never get him out of this house.

To be honest a nice move would do a lot to help us get rid of clutter and
get things cleaned up.  But there are still unpacked boxed from Alaska in
the garage.  Haven't needed our arctic flight suits yet.

Ah, those kids!  Just when you think they are grown and gone, they're back in
the house, disrupting things again!  LOL  My mom's settled that now that she
needs hearing aids - pop 'em out and it's much quieter.

military moves, hmmmmm, we had a retired military guy helping us move last
summer.  I surely hope his wife did most of the moving logistics as he was
NOT a good packer!  Just about made Mike nuts as he just wanted to throw
everything in the truck and go rather than loading with care and completely
as Mike and I both do.  (we've reinforced that approach through years of
camping out of a Corolla!  LOL)  Still, I hope we don't move again for a few
years and that when we do we can afford to buy some stuff new instead of
moving everything as we did the last 2 times.  (yes, even cheap cleaning
supplies, if we had space!)  This moving with no assurance of future income
has been for the birds.

bizarrely enough, I was hand-tying the ordination booklets because none of
the staplers we had access to could staple them along the center line.  I may
be stuck doing it for the second rodination now, as Mike likes the look.  
Wasn't too bad, using my sewing awl and assorted needles.  The hard part was
tying the knots! ----- just when you think your hands are better......  Ah
well, they are all done now and laying in wait at the church.  (It going to
appear to some as though I'm being left out as I'm doing nothing *during* the
service.  Ironic, as I designed the service booklet cover for Mike, tied all
the booklets, made Mike's alb (the white robe they wear for some services)
and I'm making all the special communion bread for the bishop's visit.....  
the service and following dinner are my chance to rest!)

I hope you've had a quiet day and made great strides in recovering!
