Sorry but I think I’ll pass on culinary advice from soemone who shops the 7 day old bread shelves.[/quote]Actually, the bread I get for .99 to $1.49 in the early am in the county’s 3 biggest chain-supermarkets has JUST been removed from the regular ($2.79 – $5) shelves and is 1 to 1.5 days older than bread that has just been put out.
Do you use an entire loaf of bread within 1.5 days of purchasing it, sdr?? Just wondering.
It won’t bother me a bit if you pay $5 for a loaf of bread OR decide not to try “Home” . . . your loss :={

We had the opportunity to build houses that had conservation features: gray water recycling, passive solar, etc. but none of it was done. The bean counters probably though “no one will pay an extra $15k for a gray water system but they will for pergo floors and granite.” In fact, most of these homes (mcmansions) built in the last 10-15 years are going to cost MORE to heat/cool/live in than houses built in the 70’s and 80’s because they are so big.

Seems like a failure of the market.
Builders build what the “typical” 50 yo will buy…
[/quote]brian, from what I’ve seen, for the most part, the typical house built in SD County since 2000 does NOT cater to the “boomer crowd” (age 50-65 approx). I don’t know ANY fellow boomers who would consciously CHOOSE a mcmansion-type house which wastes massive amts of utils, has stairs with multiple landings (often narrow), has a “hallway” around it instead of land/yard, has fat “pole supports” between the foyer and LR, has 4+ toilets to clean, has “space-saving” (LOL) 3-car garage broken up into two disjointed opposing garages, has fake strips dividing front windows into “panes” (LOL). These omnipresent monstrosities are designed to impress the “worker-bee” set, who are sold on the “builder incentives” that often come with them as well as a “bill of goods” comprised of membership in an HOA and Mello Roos.
The typical boomer wants to park their vehicles on their OWN property, putter around a garden, keep their expenses down and give their tired knees a rest from carrying laundry and vacuums up and down multiple flights of stairs.

Participant[quote=sdrealtor]I know js and it wasnt directed at you. How far is el dorado Hill from oakland? I’m going to be very hungry for lunch in a couple weeks?[/quote]
That trip is almost 3 hrs, sdr. I’m back from the 2nd windiest visit to SF in memory attending my kid’s college graduation. Stayed in a suite at the Brisbane this time with free pkg and all the amenities we wanted.
Why don’t you try “Home?”
Their entire menu is to die for :=P I had the Chicken Pot Pie and it was better than the Chicken Pie shop in Hillcrest (SD)! It’s on the north side of Market at Church in SF. Valet pkg on premises avail and meters are also abundant. Better yet, ride the BART and get transfers. I rode 5 buses and an old-fashioned elec streetcar all on $2 on Sunday :=]

Participant[quote=walterwhite]it’s pretty clear what his problem is. not easily solveable.
distraction may be the only alternative.[/quote]
scaredy, “distraction” doesn’t work. Pornography is an addiction … a very insidious and recalcitrant one, at that.
