That’s Crazy

          to  repay  them.  The  fortunate  thing  was  the  housing  market  was

          booming, our house had doubled in value, we paid $350,000 and the
          going price was $650,000.


               After we agreed on the price, Larry had the nerve to say he would

          come and inspect the house to make sure it was to show. I became
          pissed at him and asked him to ask his buddy if the house was clean
          when I moved backed in and how his no-handy-man-self had messed

          up  the  house  by  painting  all  over  the  trims  and  the  so-called

          MISTAKE.


               When I arrived, Leroy and Larry were waiting for me with the
          contract in hand. I sat down and began to read the contract, I noticed

          they had me moving out of the house by the end of May, which would

          only give me two weeks' notice to pack up the house and all the stuff
          from the business and find a place to live. I had a renter in my condo

          whose  lease  would  not  expire  until  November.  I  looked  at  the
