JOKE: I'm 30 but feel 20, until I hang out with 20 year olds....//drove by alissa's house//80 degr
This is true at many ages:
JOKE: "I'm 30, but I sometimes still feel like I'm 20....until i hang out with 20 year olds, then I'm like, nope, never mind, I'm definitely 30."

Deuces: When someone holds up two fingers symbolizing "peace" when leaving an establishment, "deuces" is often said. ... When you flip that middle finger, and that index finger follows. ... derived from peace, or peace out, as in throwing two fingers up when leaving.
last week it was still cold at night around 50, but its warmed up since then. we are having a really nice sunny november - more like south florida weather. lucky us. drove passed alissa's house, have to re-check the address.
alissa used to do (small colony) outdoor rescue by her house and was a foster mother for human toddlers and babies and a landlord even though she was only 25. that is a LOT for a 25 year old. a LOT for anyone actually.
A a few years ago i sent someone who needed emergency housing to her apartments - it was for him, his wife and two babies - from her address i assumed she was in the historical section by the beach and it was cheap and available so .... hmmmm. i was super wrong.
the place is now boarded up, but its awful looking. the guy was really mad that i sent him there and asked me if i had seen it. and i was like no, but its state approved and the area is okay isn't it? its two buildings one behind the other in an area of large homes and then tiny homes - beach areas are like that. i could never figure out why he was so offended by it and i was assuming it was okay because she is a foster mother and teaches pre-school, so its an "approved" house, how bad could it be? lol. i was totally wrong. wow. so three years later and i find out what the problem was.
also drove passed one of our former rescue person's house in the same area. she did rescue 12 years ago. she was the one who's husband had pancreatic cancer - he was 45. they were totally STUNNED when they found out. their house was always nice and she sold it easily because the real estate boom was just about to begin. the place is a disaster now. if she saw it she would be horrified because they had redone the whole house way back then and had owned it for about ten years. there was no reason for it to end up looking like it looks now.
amazing how many things change. her former house is painted school colors - turquoise blue and orange. wth? and isn't kept up at all. there was a house near the university that used to be painted harley davidson colors, black and orange. omg! but her former house is by the ocean not the university. so strange.
80 degrees again today. yay and beautiful out tonight - 70 degrees out. good day. my neighbor put up my mailbox. yay! never found a mount for it - home depot never had it at all in any size. he put two pieces of marine-plywood together and drilled it through that way. still need to paint the pole and all that. if i had energy today, i would have started on painting the deck again, it was a good day for it, but not a wise thing to do before heading to work.
having trouble with another worker getting a LOT of things wrong, all of a sudden and claiming to never have seen these things etc. things that ANYONE would know and that they see every day. omg! not good at all. unreal. then i realized this guy is 60, so it could be the same crap as the other one. though the other guy is trying to improve and horrified by his mistakes, this one is belligerent. being belligerent is not because he is 60 though, he was always belligerent. he won't admit he did something wrong ever. he will blame everything around him. he used to do the same thing with the former supervisor from several years ago.
both guys that are having trouble are foreign and makes me wonder if you are living in a country where the language is learned and you get older, does it have a bad effect earlier, because short term memory doesn't work at all as you age - anything in the new language would be shorter term memory isn't it? just guessing. both guys are around the same age, just a couple of years apart. or it could be he doesn't handle criticism. he is saying, do you think i'm stupid. well, hmmm if you honestly don't know something that is super-basic and you have been trained yearly on it and you have been working here for six years....
then i come in today and a report he was supposed to write and leave in the drawer for me to review, isn't there, the COPY is there. its also only half done. wth? so here is the choice, he is either "stupid" (just quoting him) or its the beginning of dementia. his choice. i was looking at him like, are you from mars or what? then i realized he is 60. he also was going on the other day about bringing his tablet to work so he could do what he wants to do here. actually, not a chance in hell. so much for being responsible, eh? what did people DO before smart phones and internet, not saying there isn't downtime i just think its going way too far.

that shabby house that is boarded up SOLD for 275,000 at one point and then sold again for 100,000 in a destress sale. shows you how inflated the market used to be. the person that alissa was renting from bought it for 140,000 a few years ago (still too high a price actually because it looks awful). wonder what happened? she is still listed as the owner.
We bought our house at a good time. If I would of bought it when the market was inflated I would of payed about 30,000 more. More than half the houses for sale near me are foreclosures.
