Larry does not have mesothelioma! What he does have is asbestosis, which looks a lot like mesothelioma on scans and xrays. It takes an experienced oncologist to tell the difference. No cure, but it can be managed by his pulmonologist who he already sees for his COPD.

Awwwwlright Velma.  I assume that is good news or at least  much better news than before.   We are here for both of you if that is worth anything.

So much cheerfulness! :grin: :grin: :grin:

Indeed. It'd be downright sickening if ir all wasn't such genuinely good news.

Absolutely fabulous, Velma! I truly am so happy for you both! Now I hope the Dr.s have good direction for their treatment. Did your husband work around asbestos in the past?

Sooooooo....yeah, it looks like I bought a house.

:shooty:

Having steady income again I can now get a small (by Norwegian standards, at least) loan for a house. The inheritance from my grandmother (cash and furniture) also made this an opportune moment to apply. So I did. And I just won a bidding round on a house!

It's a house from the '70s that the military just put up for sale. They used to rent it out to personnel with families. It is a duplex house, and the right half is now mine! Or it will be in August.

Guardian, this is fun news! Do you feel like such an adult now?  ;D
And I assume someone else owns the other side? 
There's nothing like owning property!  :headbang:

Yes he was. He we in the Navy for 20 years, many of those in the engine room.

Good for you.

Looks like you've got room to accommodate passing Haffers.
They'd have to be on the way to the North Pole!

Or to inspect Slarty Bartfast's crinkly bits.
Or visit the Norwegian Blue parrot sanctuary cemetery.

I fixed it for ya.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

That's a nice big half of house.  How many rooms, and do we get to see pics of the inside?

The prospect for the house is still up, so feel free to have a look.

I think bod means beer, the room marked bod is for making and storing beer.

Are the windows polar bear proof?
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Dragonia

I like it a lot! My guess is the "bod" is laundry? And is the room next to that just storage?
I also wonder if the entryway has an extra door. I know in Alaska, many homes have an Arctic Entry, which is almost like a little entry room, to be a barrier for cold air coming in to the house.
It would make sense, considering where you are. Which, by the way, is very beautiful also. All that shining white snow, your hills and trees beyond..... it's just lovely.

A bod is a storage room, or a room otherwise not intended for living in.

And we don't have polar bears around here. Regular bears, on the other hand...
