Grahame Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Al, hope it doesn't affect your ability to raise a glass or two. You may have to take up left handed drinking for the duration.
aardvark baguette Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 I dont like arthritis. not. one. bit. good luck on the surgery.
n_maher Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Oooh, what's on the horizon? Working on a little sumpin'. Al, hopefully a little pain now means less in the long run.
shellylh Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Sorry Al. Hope surgery is worth it in the end though.
boomana Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Learned I'd actually paid off the house in October, but somehow missed it. Seems anti-climatic when the big moment is fused with "how stupid can I be?" realities. 3

Aura Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Wishing you best of luck Al. Congrats Vicki .
n_maher Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Congrats Vicki, wish I could say the same but given the recent refi I'm now just about as far away from paying it off as I've ever been...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Al -- so many jokes, but I will refrain -- what Nate and Shelly said -- wishing you a minimum of discomfort and ultimate realization of your ...um...no, I said I'd refrain...sorry... Vicki -- you'll get over the self-recriminations -- much more rewarding to have a house paid off than forget to pay -- I've never had, but I've had a car paid off (in fact, I've always had my car paid off since the 80's), and even that is a pretty good feeling.
tyrion Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Nice Vicki! I'm hoping to have mine done in 7 - 8 years.
Wmcmanus Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Congrats, Vicki!My brother did that sort of thing when he was in college. Thought he had two more courses to graduate, and signed up for them for the Spring semester. Then in the middle of February, he was applying for a job so had to request a transcript. Looks at the thing, and says, "Shit! Says here I graduated in December!" Of course, he was quite the stoner, so it's no wonder...
CarlSeibert Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Way to go Vicki! My mortgage is lingering. I need to put it out of its misery. But then I'll have to suck it up and take care of all the taxes and insurance and whatnot (which in Florida are more than and infinitely more hassle than the mortgage itself) So I'm dragging my feet a bit.
Aimless1 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Good luck Al. Hope the surgery goes well for you. Congratulations Vicki. I like that you didn't notice it was paid for. A good surprise.
mrarroyo Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Good luck with the surgery Al. Good going Vicky!
skullguise Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Indeed, what has been said. Hope this resolves longer-term issues, Al. And I'm sure having some extra $ in the bank account each month will allow you to get over the anti-climactic feeling Vicki.
Salt Peanuts Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Sorry to hear about yoru wrist issues, Al. Here's hoping the surgey can clear things up. Congrats on the house, Vicki!
aardvark baguette Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 very jealous on the mortgage i think i have 27 years left. I'm waiting for more inflation before getting aggressive w/ extra payments
agile_one Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Al ... arthritis sucks, but sounds like doc has a handle on things, and surgery followed by long recovery and pt will pay off. Surgery tools and techniques have come a long way in 24 years. Good thoughts for successful procedure and full use of hand and digits.
bozebuttons Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Al good luck with the surgery,I had carpal tunnel on my right hand about 9 years ago years I had the operation on it ,its been good since. Congrats Vicky on the mortgage,Its a nice feeling to have it paid off.
Torpedo Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Yay Vicki, great news. Congratulations!!! Al, bad news yet good news. I like when health problems seem to have a solution. Best wishes.
Emooze Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) I've been officially accepted into the Air Force Institute of Technology and will be going back to school full-time sometime in late summer. So I'll be leaving the awesome Florida crew and joining the Ohio group. Edited January 26, 2013 by Emooze 1
