    With fingers crossed, we finally did get one with a VA loan for the asking price....it took a bit of luck considering our offer was the first one in, their grown children are both in the military, accepted our offer at the asking price. now, we are just waiting for them to find their retirement house. Fingers crossed still that they can find something.

    She has Hall Pass status, is all I am saying.
    Although it does pain me to say it; but her botox pout was showing a bit too much in GreenLand. What saddens me even more is I am a couple years older than her and aside from my gut and rapidly graying hair; I look younger than her. But now that I think on that, it means my chances are better so maybe that's a good thing.

    It's best I stop thinking about all this before I go make Mrs. Noodles put on FireFly again.

    I don't know what your problem with Florida is though. I love it. Even the crappiest of FL situations is still at the very least unintentionally hilarious.

    Only reason I haven't moved down there is I still like seasons too much.

    University of Oklahoma alumni. I like visiting Florida and was even officed out of Florida for a brief time. College football and national championships between OU and Florida teams, deep seeded rivalries.

    Update:

    Sorry for graphic pic-

    Screenshot_20210606-105728_Gallery.jpg

    Today is 16 or 17 days after I got bit. Verdict still out on if it was a recluse spider but decent chance it was. The Epsom salt paste dessicated all the infected area, which scabbed and finally (mostly) fell off a couple days ago.

    Only reason I'm posting this is to tout Epsom salt as an awesome homeopathic topical wound dressing. It just pulls all the poison out and dries the wound. Keep some in your deer camp for sure.

    So our field service guy still does not want to fly so I figured I would do this simple start up at a landfill. In 30 plus years I have never seen an ABB disconnect fail, till today 1 leg of the 3 phase not getting thru. So much for flying home tonight.

    Hubble calls propane company to get a lock in for winter....they say they can't computer's locked down...he tries several more times then goes to an out of area branch...F ers shut system out to wait on higher prices...he finally got a quote, told them not good enough and they lowered it another dime. I hope Biden and company develope foot rot on top of severe hang nails and gout all at once.

    Different climates were in for sure. I remember my relative with oil burners dealing with the same. We're on a natural gas line, so it's market rate...

    But taking note as our (hopefully retirement place) will be propane or electric. And that crazy guy down the road, with a passive solar home and solar panels, is looking just a tad less crazy...

    The problem with genetics is that it's objective reality.
    Feelings are subjective.

    I feel like a ***** lots of time. I'm not walking around on my hands and knees sniffing people's butts or crapping in the nieghbors yard.. If I did I think society would frown on that. Feelings of a relative few do not get to rewrite science nor societal norms of the majority. Sometimes people need to be told to deal with how they feel on their own without dragging everyone else into their drama.

    They pretty much run it on loop on comedy central. Or did for some reason.

    Was in the hotel lobby to grab some breakfast, the guy in line in front of me is a jumbo. He took 4 of the nasty fake egg omelets and covered them with cheese. First of all those fake egg omelets are gross and second what time do you plan on having your first heart attack?

    I do appreciate our in house parts guy that hustled yesterday, the purchasing agent who found what I needed and got the part I needed, the shipper that made sure the package got out UPS NDA early AM delivery. I gave 1 final instruction to make sure that the label on the package says hotel guest on the package, they did not hotel guest and my name just hotel guest. It is the little things that make excellence and we just missed on this.

    It's funny how eating habits work. Your probably correct on him. That said , I've lost 68#'s eating 6 eggs and a half pound of bacon several times a week over the last year. No effect on cholesterol. I just don't eat sugars,carbs, grains.

    I am not sure how close to an actual chicken those fake egg omelets have ever been.
