[blparent] Advice: buying a house

[Jennifer Jackson]

Sean, I hope you did not take my message as an attack. I reread my message
and can see how you might have interpreted it as a disagreement. I think
though if you check the thread you will find that I do in general agree with
you about home buying. My message that you replied to even said that I
prefer not to mow my own lawn. I just wanted people to know there are people
who do all that stuff and where to look for more info if they want it.

I hope that I am missing your intended tone in your message and that you are
not upset with me or anyone else on the list. I right in a better safe than
sorry kind of mode to say I apologize if my message did not come across in
the light and informational way I intended it. I mean no offense to you.


Jennifer

Just for the record. I never, ever said that a blind/ visually impaired 
person couldn't do their own yard work or own maintenance. What I said was. 
That if you're not willing to. &, I'm not willing to. You have to hire it 
done. Also, whether you like it or not. Let's face facts here. There are 
some things which you just can't do. This is the absolute last message I'll 
post on this topic. We are all entitled to our opinions & as I stated very 
early on. I'm not trying to force mine on anybody. I'm just stating the flip

side. What is my opinion just as you all are.
