Good morning, friends.

I think I was one of the Guests.

Guest no more!

TCB, osso buco literally means braised bone. In this case, it was a big ol’ hunk of pork cooked until the meat was falling off the bone.

Or perhaps poseur.

Hi, Singdaw.

singdaw · « **Reply #39 on:** August 27, 2022, 05:38:31 AM »

That is for others to decide.

Yesterday's events took the wind out of sails. It seemed much safer and saner to stay in bed, ponder my options and painless methods of suicide than drag myself out of bed and fret about my situation. I'm not sure I slept in those two hours between the alarm and my getting out of bed.

Thatch and Stella stayed away from me, but Annabelle curled up with me, cooed, trilled, clucked, and purred. She makes more sounds than any cat I have ever encountered.

DR TCB, the entire property setup, which occurred two days before I landed in Ohio and six days before my father died, was three acres of land deeded to my two brothers and me, with 2/3 majority to accomplish anything. Until Randy and Macbeth had their falling out around 2017, they held the majority and their dumbass decisions have screwed up potential sales since then.

Supposedly, the decision to do this was to avoid paying inheritance taxes, but after my dad's death, his jerk lawyer informed us we would still have to pay inheritance taxes! In November, 2007, we pated inheritance taxes on property worth $750,000.

If the property had remained in the estate, I as executor would have got a realtor and sold that sucker ASAP. Instead, the 2/3 majority refused to use a realtor (neither third ever went out to check on the property so the house was completely looted and vandalized); a small For Sale sign with Randy's phone number was buried in the weeds on the property; and wjen I was back in Ohio around 2009, neither third would come with me to talk to a realtor. As a resulty, the property never sold and the 2008 recession wreaked havoc on property sales.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #49 on:** August 27, 2022, 06:01:27 AM »

By the time the 2/3 majority decided to hire a realtor, they chose a friend who, as I recall, did nothing, and I, sitting in Manhattan, Googled Dayton-Cincinnati realtors and found several, only one of whom seemed interested, they interviewed him, and hired him. He worked hard and found one (I think) potential buyer and I cannot remember now why the sale fell through. When their contract with him fewll through, they went with the current one.

And that's the saga.

Yesterday, after receiving the real estate slap, I did something wrong in getting off the floor and piulled something in the arch of my left foot. As a result, my right leg, as it has since June 2020, will not support me and my left leg is no longer happy about being the supporting column.

While I continue being poor pitiful Pearl, here's my current status:

Potential income:
Moonshine & Mistletoe: no productions yet but the demo recording may be released;
Annabelle & Thartch: with a publisher since March and no answer on publication yet;

Definite Income:
West End International concert work: you have to finish it to be paid;
La Bayadere: waiting on contract from Indiana University.

My current liabilities:
Up to my ass in debt, credit card at limit and back account empty;
I need cataract surgery and I can barely see;
I need hip and knee replacements;
I am two months behind in my health insurance payments
I cannot pay my utilities bill, cell phone bill, or Spectrum for phone, TV and internet;
I wish I were dead.

And that's more than enough good cheer from this corner.

$$ vibes for DR ELMORE.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #55 on:** August 27, 2022, 08:04:28 AM »

Yesterday DR singdaw gave me a pie in the face which was most amusing.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #56 on:** August 27, 2022, 08:04:44 AM »

Stop butting in and call my agent.
