Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

I was actually wilder in high school. By the time I went to college...I calmed down and was a serious student, for the most part. Anyway, sorry I haven't been on a lot lately guys...I miss all of you. With crazy camp during the day and swim meets at night...I have been super busy. But camp has been better...I think enough people complained that they moved the highly functional people into a separate group from the very sick people. Groups were good yesterday and my new medicine is working. I realize I had been decompensating for a while now...and I am feeling really good now that I got help. Thanks all of you for all of the support...it means a lot!

So our landlord kinda gave us an ultimatum... His wife really wants to sell the acreage we are living on, and if we cannot come up with the money to buy it out right, then they would give us three months from the sale date.
Cole n I both really want to buy this place as it is perfect for us. Has lots of room for my horse, there are rows of trees, has a barn, big garage that you can fit four cars in or two trucks n two cars, a shed n a hay shed, dug out/pond, big enough house for all my tanks n all our stuff n most treasured space n peace n quiet. Lots of room for more snakes too!

The thing is neither us have been at our jobs for 6 months yet, both always had jobs but lately have changed. I have no credit, and Cole is working on getting good credit with credit cards. What do we do? How can we buy this place? How do we get a mortgage?
There is no where else we want to live, this is the perfect place for us.
Its a steal of a deal too, 200,000. for these eight acres.

I know it will all work out in time, but kinda stressing about losing this place.
Kinda really stressing. How to come up with the money.

Will they finance you with a land contract?

Can anyone tell me what this is. I've been finding then all over at work. They are about the size if my pinkie nail.

I'm guessing some kind of Sawyer beetle.
Genus Monochamus
Best I can do.

I believe that is a boat backed beetle. I've always called hem stink bugs, just cause they smell weird if you smash them... When I was a kid, one ran at me and it freaked me out, so I stomped on it. The kids at school all smelled the weird odor coming off of it.

[katach]

They don't smell when you step on them. They make a horrible pop squish sound though. Would my frogs be able to eat them?

[kibakiba]

I don't think so. I'd stick to flies, meal worms and crickets. If you have little baby night crawlers, mine go crazy for them.

I just wanna say, I love my "THANMPIS FRIENDS: Ya'll awesome.
