A Mighty Girl



It is 7:00 p.m. on Saturday November 7, 2015.  it says saturday on the front on this and it says SUNDAY on here.  wth?  So i guess now we should post for each day before 5:00 or at least make a page before 5 or 6?   just guessing.  where do they do the programming from, somewhere that is several hours ahead of est, maybe india?  would love to start using ds for support groups, which is the real reason to join ds to begin with, but never have.  

so its still super hot here.  love it.  makes me miss south florida.  lots of troubles in florida in general though, and even more down there even if the weather is way prettier the further south you go.  makes you want to move to mississippi and leave it all (biloxi area is only ten degrees colder than jax which is chillier than here as well) or even better a boat like svk is doing and live nowhere - now that is super cool.    

finally went over to sauna.  hope i start going daily again.  we get rain when its hot like this so it screws up all repairs and things.  downloaded photos of the flat so i can decide exactly what i'm doing.  sooooo much to do!  k has a new worker that did good work for him so far, just basic stuff.  also have another guy that is listed as tile and painting and like mcl claims he can do everything.  its easier when they have a flier that says everything they do.  sent a to look at two timeshare units at two different resorts  to stay in, but he really does have bad luck, he can get a transfer of title now, but can't use it until january 1 moreover, even though they have indoor pools i wonder if they actually have regulation water of 84 degrees or higher, if its lower it can cause flare ups for people with ms or arthritis and his wife has both and she is only 45.  

t is in her 50's and unloading allll of her florida vacation rentals she is still in ohio but i think she is looking at the carolinas for vacation or weekends because its so much closer.  if she takes flying lessons, she can just fly on her own, to myrtle beach each weekend. and not way down here anymore.  she says she is now going through "mental-pause" and losing her train of thought and forgetting things without lists and with lists.  lol.  she was similar to garyw and would go on tours of timeshares and then buy them all.  not wise.  if you buy a timeshare on its last deed, they cost under $1000.  the tax/maintenance is the same for each week you own and you are billed yearly for that -- but the total cost is so much less.  why spend $15,000 for a timeshare if you can pick it up for $1000 and sometimes less than that.  

the mobile guy is telling a "sometime in january" to finish off his mobile.    still shocked mobiles work that way, bad enough that house sellers often do that through developers and investors.  he also needs to store his extra car somewhere.  i know a place he can do that for $30 per month that is ordinary storage, but if the mobile place has all their savings, he is better off finding someone's driveway somewhere.  i think he has three cars -- three cars and no house and not even his fault.  he looks like he is going to be sick over it.  while his wife and son were away he actually looked better than he looks when they are here.  he says its from worry because just him, he can sleep anywhere.  he sounds like paul when he says that.  but with them here, especially because she is disabled and now injured from something, and his son who has tantrums, its a mess.  still annoyed he didn't stay at gordon's, he'd have saved money at least from mid-october to now, but you can't tell people what to do.  

no one wants to rent to three people and its amazing how many don't want kids around at all, they will take pets before they take children.  wow.   wonder if my mechanic would allow him to park his vehicle over there somewhere - just remembered he also lives in the same mobile park that a is buying in, because my mechanic lost his house that he had in the carolinas during this whole boom and bust thing.  amazing how many people were destroyed during this recession.  first its financial ruin and then it becomes heart attack from the stress of it or cancer from the stress.  very sad.

had dinner at k's.  he made broiled salmon which was excellent and potato puffs and broccoli and salad.  all the greens were super fresh for some reason.  we were both surprised.  he had wine.  yay!  so now we can make escargot next week.  headed for the marina with a.

treated most of the animals by my house with generic frontline. have to make sure its okay to do the ones that come over from the next street just in case someone is treating them over there.  i know the gray one was on comfortis and looked way better for a while.  you can get comfortis from maak.com instead of going to a vet and getting it.  rn uses comfortis as well, but she goes to her vet and gets two pills, one for her big dog and the other she chopped into four pieces and gave to the two little ones that she is babysitting and her own little one.  wanted to do that with k's dogs but with nexguard which is the new "top" de-fleaer, don't know anyone that uses it though and sometimes its dangerous to trust ads etc.  i used a new one for cats on one of the cats that i bought from the vet and the cat's hair started falling out.  it made him worse.  the cat with the black eyes is still missing.
