[quote=temeculaguy]scaredy, stop scaring CA renter, and stop avoiding the task. No amount of deflection can distract you from yourself, just own it and start admitting your own list. It’s a mirror, now just look in it, no need to be afraid. Don’t try to be deep or clever, just admit there are things on your list, weird things, things normal people think of, and god forbid, things that are shallow and primal. You live in wine country, have you gone up in a balloon? I have, almost landed on your street one time. $100 a head, take the wife, partake in the champagne and then report back. It’s like talking an astronaut into riding a bicycle, trust me, the simple pleasures bring…….pleasure. Try it.[/quote]
