I've been doing a slow cull, getting rid of stuff I don't need. I've been at it for a month or more and continue to find things in areas I thought I'd cleared. I hope to put a couple days aside soon for the difficult areas. Books are always hardest to get rid of. I already have many set aside for the library and Goodwill.

TTFN.

Yes, Jeanne, same pizza.

Pizza was good, did some cheery cheerleading, and now will watch something.

My brother Randy just called me. Apparently the City of Middletown has kiboshed the property sale. There will be no closing on Friday. I am a dead man.

Here we go again! At least six dead, another two dozen wounded at a Illinois Fourth of July Parade.

F*ck.

How can the city kibosh a private property sale???

After 2007 the farmland around the new hospital was rezoned and annexed by the City to glorify its new hospital. The land next to ours will be the new fire station. The city kiboshed the last sale because the buyer wanted a parking lot for commercial freight trucks and that's too plebian for the city's concept of this "jewel box" of theirs.

I have two asshole brothers who as the majority vote did nothing smart for too long: didn't want a realtor and were too incompetent to sell it themselves. They refused to do anything I suggested, then the 2008 recession killed any sales opportunity for several years, then they kept overpricing the property when they got a realtor.

I will know more tomorrow, but this is the last straw if the sale is indeed dead. Perhaps the closing is just in limbo. I will see what I can learn tomorrow. If it's dead, so am I.

I am so sorry, Elmore.

Went to a nice Fourth of July party. We had shish kebabs, baked beans, creamed corn, asparagus and schnitzel. I guess the baked beans were American.

My pie was one of the desserts. The other was devil's food cake with cream cheese frosting.

John G. · « **Reply #132 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:09:09 PM »

The pie is all gone. It went over well.

John G. · « **Reply #133 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:11:29 PM »

Now watching Jabberwocky, which I've never seen.

John G. · « **Reply #134 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:12:09 PM »

It's a little early for the fireworks.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #135 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:35:49 PM »

That's a bummer DR ELMORE!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #136 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:36:07 PM »

LOL MR BK - I hope others feel the same......

singdaw · « **Reply #137 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:40:05 PM »

DR elmore3003.... I am so very sorry. Hoping against hope that all is not lost.

singdaw · « **Reply #138 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:45:59 PM »

DR John G. - glad that the pie was a success.

singdaw · « **Reply #139 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:46:41 PM »

I am way too full. Again.

singdaw · « **Reply #140 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:46:55 PM »

I seem to have no will power.

singdaw · « **Reply #141 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:47:13 PM »

When I am not eating at home, that is.

singdaw · « **Reply #142 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:47:46 PM »

But I can probably post enough nonsense to get us to page six.

singdaw · « **Reply #143 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:47:59 PM »

Apologies in advance.

singdaw · « **Reply #144 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:48:32 PM »

Julie Andrews's Duet for One is going to be a new Blu Ray.

singdaw · « **Reply #145 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:48:54 PM »

I've never seen it. But I'm curious.

singdaw · « **Reply #146 on:** July 04, 2022, 07:49:58 PM »

In fact, there are many films featuring Julie Andrews that I've never seen.
