You are very welcome, stormgirl.

Some of us find it is hard to accept help from others or their noticing us. I wonder how you feel about helping others, as you do so well? Do you see it as an imposition? I doubt it! In a way you are giving us a gift if you allow us to try to help.

Practical things can be the worst, and to me buying a house is a real big thing. It's a huge step and I disagree with your statement that it is easy. When we are in difficult places, and kind of decision is REALLY hard to take - let alone one of the magnitude of buying a house. I completely understand the sense of paralysis.

Thanks for your comment about the siggy. I'm not ready to put it back up yet, but maybe I will at some point in the future.
