Many realtors and realtors associations maintain web sites to help ease some of the pain. I understand there's a "for sale by owner" site as well. But then, you've probably been through all that.

Good luck in your search and I agree with you (shock! ) that you should be pickey and find the house that you want, not one you would just be satisfied with.
Just take care of yourself and don't tire yourself out until you are sick or such.
Sincerely,

If the situation was ongoing today and a region of the country wished to become its own entity..and not pay US taxes, be a sovereign nation ect (given our military is too advanced for this to happen) .... that's why it is a hypothetical. I wonder at what lengths people would be willing to go to to have our country united again. If they may support some sort of "total war." --- But, then I got to thinking... If California with all of their liberals along the coast wished to secede. Well, I do believe I would sit on my butt and attempt to push them out the door. I think we just may be better off
I'll go one further and push the entire east coast liberals with them!
I just noticed that the Georgia Band plays 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic' when the Bulldogs score a touchdown. How odd, I wonder who taught them that tune?

How odd? You're watching Georgia football and you think it's odd that the Bulldog Band plays the BHotR? Just what do you consider normal?

At least they weren't playing "Marching Through Georgia"...

Actually, they play that tune, but changed the words to "Glory. glory to Old Georgia".
Even more odd is Mississippi's song "From Dixie with Love" in which they combine 'Dixie' with 'The Battle hymn', but they substitute "His truth is marching on" with "The South will rise again".
"Glory Glory Colorado," one of the fight songs of the University of Colorado, takes its tune from the Battle Hymn.
Three hours before each University of Georgia football game (when the gates open), a lone trumpeter stands in the South Deck of Sanford Stadium and plays the first phrase. The UGA band also plays the entire song after home victories.
The tune is used in football chants in England, originally sung by supporters of Tottenham Hotspur F.C., but since spreading to other teams, with versions such as "Glory Glory Man United".
At the end of each Ole Miss sporting event, the band plays a song entitled "From Dixie With Love", which combines the southern tune "Dixie" with the Battle Hymn. Ole Miss fans sing verses from "Dixie" as well as "The South will rise again" in place of "His truth is marching on" from the hymn.
The tune is used at University of Virginia football games, where it is played as "Glory, glory to Virginia."
The Battle Hymm is played by the University of MinnesotaMarching Band during the pregame show of Minnesota Golden Gopher football games. It is also played by the pep band at the end of a hockey series sweep [3].

Geez, Sam! I thought we were kidding around! Do people actually care about this doo-doo?

I don't know much about doo-doo, but I've been associated with BS a time or two. Both those melodies Dixie (written by a yank, not one of us) and the Battle Hymn of the Republic were national "best sellers" that went "platinum" in a sense. Many lyrics were written for both melodies, Dixie in particular by at least one Confederate General (his version was not very popular) and a northern version from the lady who wrote thousands of hymns, Fanny J. Crosby. Hers didn't sell too well either, but had a "northern" tint. The best ones where written by the soldiers and the common man of the time. Lines such as William the gay deceiver, for instance. The low background music in the Gettysburg dvd still brings chills to my spine. Melodies that will long outlive UGA football.
