Too good to be true, yet tempted.

@DaddyEvil You know me . . . if anything, I may tend to think TOO much about things before I actually do it. However, if it's a risk I'm willing to take on right there, everyone just best be out of my way cuz I'm jumping in !

You!? Tell me it ain't so, SmilePie! Yes, I can see you thinking about something, then continuing to investigate it until you are either sold on the idea or you back away from it... reluctantly, maybe, but still...

@much2say Yeah, I know to stand well clear while you are making up your mind, hon! (grinning at you!) Isn't that how your husband "broke" his arm (now, grinning and teasing you!) Your poor husband! You know, if the poor man needs a rest from you, he can always come and stay with us for a week or so, until he feels he can get back in the game without losing any body parts he wants to keep! (really laughing out loud!)

Thinking hard more often than not confuses or stagnates me..I am that kind of person who needs to take decision and stick by it.

@vandana7

I usually take risks. lol

Intuition is enjoying conflict between common sense and greed/temptation justified by some need, or possibly intuition is asked to shut up citing others success with risks, and expressing that in the past I could not afford risks. LOL. In all probability common sense will win. lol

Exactly, if I dig deep enough I might find a reason to take the risk or not to take the risk. Either way works. :)

@vandana7 yeah very true

True, but age and stage of life too matter I suppose.

Oh my god, you are scaring me!

@vandana7 Now that means a thorough background check BEFORE you make final decision.

I adopt the same logic. Only in my case, somebody would have to do some running about. I wanted to spare somebody that effort.

I think the probability of being a pauper are same on both sides of the fence, meaning even if you are careful, you can end up as pauper. Calculated risks are therefore essential. It only means that can I absorb the loss if this venture does not succeed.

@vandana7 Good fortune then. You never know if you will need it.

@mydanods Thank you for your wishes. :)

I agree...it is that kind of case...if only we knew...anyway, we changed our mind about that, rather the situation is such that I cannot take a call on it for now.

Only for the amount of time you might lose, DJ? (I could be mistaken, but I believe vanny was talking about money matters, not just time.) I have been known to risk both time and money on some things, as well as some people... (grinning at you!)

@DaddyEvil It was money related stuff.. I just backed out. Aunt needs me. She has been having a few problems with her leg. She is on the fourth floor, the lift was not working so she had to climb down, which caused a sprain that she tolerated for three days making it worse, doctor has not been around the last three days so six days! Today we had to go to the hospital. I told her she has to have her leg amputated lol. Lucky it is only sprain but at their age, they can't manage. Have to shuttle there and here.

@DaddyEvil I did mention "amount" which is money in other words.

I guess neither am I...I just dropped the idea...lol

But do I need it at this stage of my life? I am more or less retired.

I did not think of it as a need @vandana7 but I am fully retired and find that sometimes an adventure can get my heart pumping a little harder, especially if the adventure is a little scary.

I have decided to leave it alone. It was a fleeting thought. Seemed attractive at the moment.

It began with dad complicating some issue relating to my property. As it is another one is in court. This gentleman would not listen, and went and argued unfairly with neighbors so now everybody is behaving in isolated fashion. I decided I need to get out of that place and aunt said why not. We looked at a few places ON NET and that house seemed well affordable offering rent almost 1/4th more than what I get for this property for 1/3rd cost of the property. I have to be a fool to believe it. But the guy says he has a regular traffic and he will let it out to tourists. I am now not ok with the idea. I don't need to rock the boat.

@DaddyEvil No...this one is road widening issue. Actually we were wrong. We did not measure when we bought the old property. Apparently there is excess of about 6 square yards, and dad is vehemently against surrendering it. Then there is the opposite guy who has raised the sewer manhole, meaning road would be about 1.5 feet higher than our home. In the process all rain water will flow through our compound. Because dad was vehemently against surrendering the other parties are also not budging. It was such an impasse we had to go so often and I had to get snubbed in front of a bunch of men ..dad is so good with that. Ironically I tell him what is right at home, but with others, I have to tow his line ..family. :( I hate this duality. One reason freedom is so precious to me. Anyway, after about 7 visits, he finally got tired, and surrendered, but they are no longer coming for meetings. Come on who has time to be constantly talking same things again and again and again. At the outset itself dad should have said, I will do as asked provided you all lower the road to a reasonable level so that water does not enter our compound. Matter would be solved in five minutes. Instead we have been going there for ages. He does not allow me to decide even on my issues. I hate men.

@vandana7 Oh, wow! Yeah, I am not sure I would believe the guy either, unless he could show me documentation proving what he said... That just seems very unlikely, hon. SMH! Another property issue? This one is not something a bank did, is it?

Hmmm... Nothing you've ever said or told us about leads me to believe you are a coward, Sherlocked. I see you as prudent, vigilant and always ready to have fun. Have I been misunderstanding you that badly all this time?

@sol_cee (grinning at you!) Yeah, I didn't think so!

@DaddyEvil hahaha

Thank you. :) I had already decided against it. :)
