I'm new too but in this business a non compete makes no sense. sounds like he is trying to sliim down his own comptetiton. careful about this guy, doesnt smell right already

I have not worked with a government body who is acting on behalf of the owner, would they be interested to negotiate, the realtor feels they won't; I don not trust realtors?

Because as a young woman I had the body that people now pay plastic surgeons for [ they didnt back then] and was cute, and that was enough back then, I was able to marry and have kids and be happy.

One economist recently said that he expects by 2050 children won't know the smell of gasoline, i.e., we'll have moved off of it as a main energy source.

After reading some posts on cat smells, I thought I would share some details about the cats in and around my recent Florida house.When we first viewed the house, the urine smell in an addition was oppressive.

OR, when your "gut" (or any other body part) is telling you to do something else... just do that, don't bother modifying the tree...  

My parent's house (That I grew up in) was owned by some real weirdos that left the place in very poor condition.To this day, some of the places in that house will give me the willies if I'm there by myself.My wife, who is quite the logical individual, proposed that as a child (a very small child) who was already intimidated by the size of the house, I may have had some child-like fears of some of the spaces.Even though the house has been renovated, her idea is that something really subtle... like smell, felt texture, or even temperature may be causing a buried memory of those very child-like fears.Makes sense to me, anyway.

Ryan - The White House banned the media from showing the caskets of American dead because people don't like to see dead bodies in war.

Thanks for the perspective.As for developing: 1) Make sure your money is solid (you don't want to run out midstream or if a delay occurs...and something always delays you)2) Get to know your local governing body (County Commissioners, Building Dept., etc)3) Don't overpay for the land.

A followup thought...All of the topics discussed on these forums are regulated by one government body or another.
