Karma - alive and well

Backstory: you all remember this, I'm sure, since I whined about it for long enough...

Older brother inherits land adjoining mine
Older brother tries to use it as leverage to get what he wants
Older brother CALLS ME and offers it to me for $1,000.00 an acre (more than it is really worth) but I agree and we go to bank and borrow money (costing us $785. in fees)
Older brother changes mind.

Older brother tries to sell it to middle brother for even more money.
Middle brother doesn't bite.

Older brother threatens to sell it to outside party if one of us don't cave.
no one bites

Recently, in the last couple of weeks, Older brother thinks I have forgotten.... and tries to get me to help him sell the land by working with Realtor for him. HA!

emails all ignored

and here we are today.... Realtor shows up at our door wanting to see land. But, dang.. I was out walking and she got to talk to the nice guy that lives with me :)

After about a five minute conversation she told Mark that 1.) Older Brother had already treated her like crap, 2.)She thought he was crazy 3.) She was not going to handle the sale after seeing where the land is. and 4.)He should have taken our offer when he had the chance.

Thank you Karma for being faithful.
