ParticipantWell , the escrow company did a marvelous job with the free aid of a title company but one party won’t sign. Apparently not out of any legit disagreement, but just out of belligerence or mutually held animosity. I shouldn’t be surprised. Learned a lot and it didn’t cost much. Have some good new contacts for this kind of business.
ParticipantI hate small engines. They die if you use them and die faster if you don’t.
My generator plan is to run to the store and buy one if I need it …why have it sit around dying before you need it?
ParticipantI am certainly not criticizing any fire fighters and would not. That’s crazy.
I live in fire country..this year is weird.Usually we try time the property clean-up after the rains stop but before the real heat comes to stay. All the grasses that catch fire easily from tailpipes or yard equipment went from lush and growing and hard to burn to parched with these last two late and almost back to back large Santa Anas….I think the fires can start in these dry weeds and grass and run really fast into the brush which is as you all know a great boon to fire.
ParticipantI am not ready to blame arsonists and am sure Horn shouldn’t have stirred up that pot on television at this time.
ParticipantI am not ready to blame arsonists and am sure Horn shouldn’t have stirred up that pot on television at this time. Could be of course, but there are lots of ways for these things to start. Poor preparedness by the county and utilities could be something not to deflect away from so soon.
Easy for a string of impulsive unrelated copy cats to get a fire bug thing going though. The terrorist have dropped the ball by not jumping on the opportunity…not that I want them too….but they couldn’t screw us more easily. I would think there are better areas to start fires that have a chance of becoming massively destructive , so that kind of rules organized terrorism out .
ParticipantCongratulations to you solar people, I would be excited.
Did you already have electric stove and water heaters or did you do conversions?
Do all of you have a pool? Is that a big driver for solar, the pool pumps?ParticipantCongratulations to you solar people, I would be excited.

Needy, demanding kids and parents create their own problems.We have enough issues in the world already. No need to manufacture family issues.
I was a good kid growing up. Was not demanding even with food. Ate and liked everything that was served me with certain preferences of course. But never threw tamper tantrums and picked food out of my plate.[/quote]
I rocked the boat in the family I married into twice. Once really meant nothing in the end, once was very regrettable and my wife jumped in on my side, but over with now. None of my in-laws ever rock the boat much. Yeah, there is a lot of enabling in relationships , that’s not always a bad thing, you are blending human strengths and human weaknesses of people, you are not equal in all capacities. You can learn and grow from each other too. Not always the case, but it happens. I learn things as father that help me overcome weaknesses in my person that I would have never learned any other way. I will be reincarnated in a superior form due to having been a long term husband and father.
I could see someone really teaching you a lot , B.
ParticipantI agree with the “strange unit” concept. So when a potential new family member comes along It’s like star trek where they find new classes of beings, but somehow find ways of coexisting.
I think our kids should eventually resent us, if for nothing else, guiding them into at least 12 years of public school, or even private….I mean they deserve to take some time and say WTF did you do that to me for? Also for bitching about what they eat all the time or judging them for their stupid kid hobbies and elective interests that are never the ones we want them to take up. Pokemon cards, giving me a break! I am going to coach them in hating me in hopes that it helps them get through it sooner rather than later.
ParticipantHousing bubbles do have “mom and pop’ scale winners. Maybe below what most piggs would think of as significant, but it happens. I know lots of month to monthers who either cashed out 2-400k in 5-10 years of homeownership in the urban areas or put that money into another property with reasonable financial terms. Lots of people sold and moved out of the state likely paying cash for a house. I hope that worked out.
There are lots of winner stories , how many compared to bag holders I don’t know , but there are many winners. Then a lot of people apparently are getting help with their liar loans, many of which were cash out refii’s. Not sure what value they are getting but they are still in their houses.
Some ” mom and pop” scale flippers do pretty well too.
ParticipantShould have taught ours to change their own fucking diapers….
Participant[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=FlyerInHi]I don’t understand all the drama people live.
Why do you need to treat anyone badly. If you don’t get along with someone, you can still be polite but keep the interaction to the bare minimum. Why is that so bad even if it’s your own parents.
I don’t care who it is. I just don’t like being around needy demanding people. I would make an exception for Alzheimer’s but who cares at that point.
I’ve seen parents who call their kids and demand they do this and that all the time. The parents and kids are just enablers of one another.[/quote]
All kids are needy and demanding[/quote]
If FIH had kids, they would be the exception.
Participant[quote=scaredyclassic]id need to see some research..but…im wondering…
is it more likely that adult kids hang out with and care for parents they actually like being with…
or parents who took care of grandparents?[/quote]
Odds are not very good for a lot of company when you put it like that. We better rely on guilt and other cultural items.
ParticipantWhen a whole bunch of terrible things happen to a family of children at the hands of their parents, is that Karma to the children from a past life or something? So those kids don’t do too much for abusive parents ,but treat their children wonderfully when they have them….how should Karma work then? Not expectations …just the bit about Karma?
