I looked down and, relative to the ground, we were flying backward! Something I'll never forget. I don't recall ever doubting anything he ever said after that...

There was a wasp in my kitchen.

RiverRick comments on Feb 22, 2019:

I feel your pain! I watched my dad get attacked by wasps as a kid and he ended up in the hospital. After that... He had to carry around a bee sting kit for the rest of his life. I'll meet a black bear in the woods with a club and face down the meanest dog... But I hate yellow jackets, hornets and wasps! They are my only phobia! I live out on 12 acres. When I first built my house here it was like the bees didn't even know I was here. The second year I was inundated... I couldn't buy enough bee killer! I will go out of my way to kill any of them. THEN... I learned about Mosquito Authority! They advertise no chiggers, ticks or mosquitos after their treatment. They spray a mixture of pyrethrin and water to coat everything. Pyrethrin is made naturally from chrysanthemum flowers and is harmless to all mammals... But insects avoid it! If they do land on it... They die! I just paid $673 for a years worth of treatments... Starting in March and going til October. Every three weeks I have them come out and spray the woods edge (yellow jackets like those areas), around my foundation, into my eaves and soffits, under my decks and shed, etc. The only time I see a wasp now is when the queens emerge in spring. I'll spray them if I see them... But they either die when they touch the treatment or they move along. The only hornets I see fly across my property and usually do not stop. I have had no more yellow jackets either. The bonus is also I am free of spiders. They don't frighten me but they would spin webs and make my house look haunted after a week! I was constantly knocking down their webs. I stay pretty bug free except for gnat week. Once a year they go crazy for a week out here. LOL

As has been stated... Have a real estate lawyer at the ready to help you. I'd also look into a mortgage loan officer as a qualifier if you have an interested party. They need to be qualified BEFORE you sign a contract. (And never word any contingencies about loan qualification into the contract!) Put away personal pictures and think "model home." Clean up clutter, put into boxes and store offsite. CLEAN EVERYTHING! DO NOT ask a lot for your house. People like to negotiate, yes.... But a high price can scare others away without them even making an offer! Ask a fair price and have a number in mind you won't go below. Make a list of things you'd be willing to throw into the deal as sweeteners... Can they keep all the appliances? (Varies by state) How about the washer and dryer? Certain furniture that you purchased for specific places in the house they might have difficulty finding? TVs, window decorations, etc. Do you have some place to move to? Will you rent? Are you buying another place?

Snowplow drivers need to think about basic physics

RiverRick comments on Feb 19, 2019:

You cannot always plow to suit physics. You cannot always plow onto grass. Plow drivers don't always know what is beneath the snow when they plow. Is there a curb or not? Will their plow scrape out large sections of grass or other plantings where they will be responsible for replanting? Better to play it safe. They get paid to plow snow usually... Not to return to plow slush... Which doesn't plow well anyway. I have seen thoughtless female idiot plow drivers too... Don't put it all onto the male's shoulders. It's called winter!

Isn't that what she is supposed to do? My old inlaws adopted a kid who was around that age... From the States though. But his mother was a druggie and he was raised in a little hell hole. He was malnourished and had a mean temperment. He would hoard food and hide it throughout the house. He scared them several times walking around the house with a kitchen knife... That sort of thing. It took tens of thousands of dollars of therapy for them to be right and the kid to even start to improve. Been divorced for 3 years now and I haven't read where he has killed anyone... yet.

However, if you polled most... I'd think they would not include gang violence in with these numbers. The alarmist numbers tend to do damage to the cause, I feel, because if your main number sounds murky... Your whole argment does.

They held strong and would rather die than renounce their faith. But Nero ended up with the Domus Aurea... Which is what he wanted all along. Similar to our orange headed buffoon in the WH... Nero had no idea of the ill and lasting effects his diseased brain would cause. Let us pray the story ends exactly the same!

RiverRick comments on Jan 31, 2019:

I have the Anderson 400 series window in my house.. One of the most expensive windows you can buy. I decided to pony up for them when I built rather than install builder grade and pay again later for something better. It happens to me too. I crank up my wood stove and I will also boil water on the stove to add some moisture. Once I get up to a certain point of moisture... I will start getting the condensation on the inside of the glass. In my last house this was more than moisture... It was a little sheet of ice! It doesn't necessarily indicate heat but more how cold it is outside vs how moist inside. A better window will certainly help!

Graham is aware of and is partially afraid of the first 2 groups... Not the last one.

Anyone else struggle with feeling socially isolated?

RiverRick comments on Jan 18, 2019:

An excellent question! The answer is yes! I am both socially isolated and physically isolated being out on 12 acres in a private subdivision. It's beautiful out here but I only have guests every few weeks. I am picky about who I let into my world. I make my living in sales. Cold calls are fun and I truly enjoy getting thrown out of a dealership (I work for a national lender that markets to auto dealers) or hearing someone isn't interested in my product. I usually then go across the street and make their competition more successful until they beg me to come back. I was in one such place yesterday... They threw me out 2 years ago saying they would never sign my bank... Now they are begging to sign and I told them NO! Anyway... My job is to meet strangers and I do fairly well at it. When I am on my game... I own the room when I walk into it. That's work. Socially I am pretty much the opposite. There are very few people I want to hang out with. There seem to be very few people I can even tolerate for more than a few hours. If they start talking about how well Trump is doing for the country or "Did you hear what Kim Kardashian did?" I just roll my eyes and walk away. I can also be critical over trivial things. (IE, when someone says, "I know, right?" That fucking drives me insane!) Both my parents have passed away... My mom less than a year ago. I have lost 3 Brothers-in-law (and their families) due to divorce from my sisters and my ex-wife and all her family (all of whom I dearly loved) 3 years ago. The sister who I was closest to my whole life suffered a serious brain injury after falling from a horse. She survived but is not right and never will be. I continue to lose friends and their family to cancer and other shit. So what is the fucking point? My other sister suggested that I go to a therapist... Which I started doing several, months ago. I guess I am in the process of finding out more about my self and how I deal with things. It is nice to have an uninterested 3rd party to talk to. Meeting regular people is tough for me for some reason. Perhaps I am too critical or maybe I need to meet more or different people. It's like my sales background... I hate prospecting for a sale... It is definitely not my strong suit. But put someone in front of me and I will close them every time! It's always a work in progress!
