I’d rather focus on the waitress for how swiftly and fiercely stepping in and put the englishman in his place.

I’m with you, the story actually warmed my heart when I read what the waitress did. We’re always going to have a**holes out there, but as long as the good people outnumber the bad, we’re gonna be all right.

As I told my kids when they were growing up, being bullied says more about the person doing it than it does about you – wear it as a badge of honor that you didn’t get goaded into matching their bad behavior and took the high road. If anything, it raises your stature!

Is that for the one house or all 8 in the HOA?

[svelte]

While that is the worst home of the bunch, there are 7 other homes on that little strip of land, all brand new in an HOA. That someone talked a lender into that is amazing.

None of them have sales records that I could find, but some of them look like someone lives there. All very curious.

Those will be fun to watch!

Common current theory as to why infection rates are increasing yet death rates aren’t (yet) is because it is younger people that are catching it – they’re less likely to die from it.

There is anecdotal evidence from hospital workers to support this, I have read, though I’m sure no scientific study on it.

I keep a running weekly tally of death rates in several areas of interest (to me) and the area that did away with lockdown first did see a jump in death rates last week. I’m anxious to see if that trend continues when I run the numbers later this week.

Funny thing is – we have exactly one person named Karen in our family and OMG does she fit the description!

I mean not a little – a LOT!

Not sure if this information is reliable, but that PDF is linked to from here, which gives a bit more explanation:

Mayor Faulconer’s ‘Complete Communities’ Would Bring High-Density and Remove Floor Area Limits to Ocean Beach Housing

[quote=scaredyclassic]in the clear light of monday, it seems like maybe this was a bit nutty an idea.[/quote]

Not nutty. I can’t say the thought didn’t cross my mind when my kids started wandering off.

It’s an idea hatched in the heart, not the brain.

My wife and I struggle to find series we both enjoy. This looks like it might fit the bill.

We’ll watch and episode or two the next time we have a free hour.

Some days i feel i am just starting to see clearly.[/quote]

I know the feeling. Several times in the last year I’ve had an epiphany about why something is the way it is, then my next thought is usually why did it take me all these decades to figure that out?

It’s pretty humbling.

When my father owned rentals, he came to the conclusion it was more desirable to have a few higher end rentals than many low end rentals for a variety of reasons that basically boiled down to the quality of tenants.

People who are struggling to make ends meet are far more likely to leave you holding the bag and more apt to do more damage to the property. There were a few horror stories at my dad’s lower end rentals and I can still see the damage when I close my eyes. It was disgusting.

I don’t know you or your kids, so I’m just speaking in the general sense.

Kids need to get out on their own and explore. It’s what they want and what they need.

Most late teens early twenties are content coming to see their parents on their own schedule…That way they stay grounded in reality but still have the opportunity to explore without parental interference.

In many cases the parental home feels like “the rock”, the one thing in their life that doesn’t change. For that reason, it is sorta desirable for you not to change homes at this phase of their life – they can come home and the place is just like it was when they were kids…it gives them a sense of continuity, reassurance.

Once they get through school, they can always move back home and take a job locally. That’s what happened to us with one of our kids. When life hit a rough patch, they came back to the nest as long as they needed to get back on their feet. Come to think about it, that’s what I did to my folks too. Moved back home for about 4-5 months in my early 20s.

It’s really nice to have that buffer to rely on. I don’t think you need to follow your kids around – they’ll find you when they need you.

When my wife and I moved to SoCal, my father thought just like you are thinking. He talked about selling the family homestead up north and moving to San Diego. I discouraged that and it never happened. We still saw plenty of each other, but we still had our own space and didn’t have to worry about mom and dad spending all their free time at our house. 🙂

I think it is important for a parent to be supportive without being overbearing.

I’m with you brother. More power to you with whatever gets you through the night.

Would/could I choose that path? Never in a million years. I’m too addicted to the pleasures of the flesh.

But if it floats your boat…go for it dude. I’m the last person to criticize. I just want people to be happy.

I’m sorry, what kind of brownies do they serve at Deer Park?

T. Boone Pickens, a highly successful man, had a favorite poem by Saxon White Kessinger that he thought summarized his life, anybody’s life actually, very well.

You can read it here:

A final message from T. Boone Pickens shared before his passing on September 11, 2019

You better be doing what you enjoy, because when it’s all over the world will return to how it was without you.
