Today I searched a bit and found a house, a bit farther from where I live, and very reasonably priced. In fact it’s within my best possible budget. But, there are 2 downsides : about 30 houses in this area were flooded last summer. It’s not usual, but it can happen. This house was not...

The real estate agent just left. Really nice lady. She was very upfront with me and she said that I have a nice house that fits all my needs. Since I have health problems, she thinks that I should take the time to renovate and declutter if it makes me feel better. She sees nothing urgent to...

It’s true about the neighbors, we’ve had quite the weirdos and they all left ! Thank you for sharing your story, it helps. Do you have winter where you are ? If so you do you deal with the snow ? If I buy a new house, if it has a garage, that would make it so much easier for me because...

@Alvin if you want to move to Canada, I’m your girl ! About the windows, I’m no expert but here in Canada windows don’t condensate and if they do, there is something wrong. They are made for very harsh winters, sometimes lower than -40F. The humidity in winter is very low, probably somewhere...

@Alvin you’re very good and convincing ! ;-) Thank you ! The windows are vinyl. I changed the most expensive one already (3k). The ones in my bedroom are good for a while. The others are the sliding kind, and when you open them, the handle part just stays in your hand, and I’m not...

@Alvin arrrrghhh, you’re making me doubt again, lol ! That’s cruel... But you’re right in everything you say. There is no emergency. The thing is, if I move, it forces me to declutter the house. i can’t stand it anymore, too much stuff everywhere. And it forces my (grown) kids to get rid...

@valentijn stair lift is a great idea, I’ll check their price, you never know... @Allele good point also. I only buy recliner 3 places sofas, so they’re kind of big but I need My legs up in the air. So yes, there needs to be ebough room. @Skycloud yes, indeed a « lovely » problem. Making...

Well, I’m having second thoughts... :-( Semi-detached houses, like the ones I’m looking at, and my favorite is one, are all 2 stories + basement. For example, my favorite has bedrooms and bathroom upstairs, which means I will have to go upstairs for bed and to shower. And naps occasionnally...

Thank you @Trish. Tums help but they’re only a patch. While I was having insomnia I read that olive oil can cure ulcers, so I tried it. So far so good, I will take some more tomorrow and call the pharmacist.

I take aspirin 81 mg to prevent CVA. For more than 1 week I had a migraine and my doctor had prescribed me Naproxen for it. Before taking Naproxen, I tried 2 doses of ibuprofen, which didn’t work. Naproxen gave me terrible stomach pain for 12-15 hours. That was 3-4 days ago. Since then, my...

Hello and welcome ! I agree, you should really see a doctor as soon as possible. Let us know how it goes. Any serious new symptom should be discussed with your doc.

I met with the sales rep, for like 10 minutes and quickly determined this was out of my budget. Since I was there, I still went to see one of the houses for sale. It was a 3 story house, very beautiful, intelligent house with everything you want. I even started thinking it didn’t look so bad...

Great advice everyone ! I have a meeting tomorrow with the sales rep. I went to see the new development today and I now know that I hate townhouses. All those houses are attached to one another, there’s at least 20-30 of them in a stretch, it’s very military like. Also you’re almost sitting...

They’re upscale. The houses are fairly priced as long as you don’t add anything. As soon as you go off their basic choices, it costs you big bucks. I think I’ll be over budget and with what you and @MsUnderstood said, maybe I’ll change my mind real fast ! I’m going to see the neighborhood...

I used to only get 3-6 hours per night and functioned with that but now that I have less insomnia, I feel worse if I don’t get a good 8-9 hours and sometimes a 2-3 hour nap in the late morning or pm.

Those are very good points, thanks ! I will do my homework. I don’t have severe chemical intolerance like others do, but I don’t tolerate strong smells. I once bought a brand new house and it was fine but I wasn’t sick then. Here in my province, it’s mandatory to install air exchangers in...

Well, I hadn’t really thought about it. They’re model houses, which means they all have the same built and you only choose pieces of it like fixtures, counter tops, tiles and so forth. I think it would be very tiring for a while, and yes, stressful. You have a very good point. My first idea...

I am looking into moving into a brand new house built on an old golf course. The golf course was closed in 2013 and the city bought it for residential development. This will be an amazing place to live, with lots of trees, parks, water, pedestrian and cycling paths and even a dog park! My...

Interesting ! @ScottTriGuy

Maybe they don’t know ? Someone should write to Dr Moreau. He is new to the field and I don’t think he sees all the subtilities yet. And l’AQEM isn’t in a good place to judge either.
