My house sold today!!
im so happy....with a little luck i hope to be out for good by June 30th...close on the 29th....I caved in the last 5k but i just want to out asap now....I was thinking of getting a private plane to fly the cats and me out and have no idea how much it will cost to fly to Scottsdale though.
My mother died here 4 years ago.....my step father died 3 years ago... brother died 2 years ago.....my wife died last year all in Houston. I never want to see this town again long as live. My cats are the only good memory I have from here.... |

Jeez, man. First, congrats on selling your house. I've never done that, or bought one for that matter, and I imagine that it is a very stressful process. Second, bravo to you for taking a step to move forward with your life. I imagine it is very cathartic to "unload" anonymously through the internet. I am only a stranger through the internet to you, but I wish you the best & I commend you for all of your efforts in your life.

I'm very happy to hear the house sold, Greg! It certainly is time for you to get out of there. I hope you're able to find either a small airline or private pilot that can make this happen.

I was thinking of a Pilatus pc-12 to charter from west houston airport to scottsdale...I know it will run few bucks but with 3 cats...its my best choice.....and it will cruise at 300mph....so thats only 3.5 hours flight time.

Congrats on selling the house. Very sorry for all your losses, may God continue to give you strength and courage! The best move you made to change scenery completely, I do recommend making the drive. Not because of cost or anything but those hours on the open highway with your thoughts always help me clear my head and get through Tough times! Best of luck of luck to you Greg, Safe travels Man!!!

Congrats on the house sale. In the grand scheme, 5k is easy to give up in your situation since you want out ASAP. Best of luck with your move. I agree,if it works for you take the cats on a private plane to make your life easier.

It certainly sounds like the best way to do this. Any additional costs are worth it in my opinion considering how much easier it makes things

Book the flight, with three cats it’s the best option. The Pilatus is a great plane.

Hi Greg, I am very happy for you. Glad it worked out and a new beginning is very exciting. I do not want to tell you how to spend your money, but, as I recall some time ago, you had a thread that voiced your hardships with money and some struggles financially. Maybe you should save a few bucks and skip out on a private plane rental for you and the cats and save for the rainy days. I realize selling a house may have brought you a windfall of sorts, but I cannot forget your thread on the struggles you had financially. Seeing that many of us including yourself, has used TRF to share good and bad experiences in life, an opinion or two from the TRF family is what we need to here sometimes to get us over those life hurdles or decisions. I really hope you do not take this the wrong way, as we are all friends here. Good luck my friend.

Wishing you all the best for your future. I'm more of a dog person but completely understand how important our pets can be to our wellbeing.
