Hello, everyone.

Jeanne · « **Reply #153 on:** July 03, 2025, 02:59:03 PM »

Happy Anniversary to Singdaw and his DH.

Jeanne · « **Reply #154 on:** July 03, 2025, 03:00:04 PM »

Feel-better vibes to Jane and Bruce and anyone else who is feeling poorly.

Thank you, DR Jeanne!

Hoping you would pop in here with news that you were in escrow.

I am in recuperation mode, ie, I’m being a couch potato. Yesterday I had some outpatient surgery — not painless, but it went smoothly. I’m doing well, but need to take it easy for a few days. An overdue break for R&R. I’m happy to curl up with a book or watch a movie or post here. I’m not allowed to drive yet or even take a shower. So perhaps an overripe couch potato. 🥔

I made an offer on a condo. The seller came down in price and I moved up. The agent discounted his commission. We each gave up something. I thought that at last this offer might fly. But it was not to be. The seller balked at paying the buyer’s commission, which is customary in California. That added another $13,000 to the sales price, which I felt was already inflated. I like the unit, would like to buy in that building, but feel that the seller is being unrealistic and trying to take advantage. He wants an outrageously good deal.

So the search continues. Sounds like a soap opera, huh?

My DH went to the restaurant grocery store and brought home a five-pound bag of shaved parmesan, asiago, and romano cheese.

And a pound of cilantro and a pound of basil.

And three pounds of limes.

And three pounds of baby lettuces.

Wow!

I am still tossing more out. When I’m not pouring over 40 pages of legalese of the California real estate sales contract, a very comprehensive document.

Jane, have you ever tried aloe vera juice? Very good for digestion. I’m currently taking Aloecure (grape flavor), my favorite of all the ones I’ve tried. Light, pleasant flavor.

Jeanne · « **Reply #169 on:** July 03, 2025, 03:29:44 PM »

Very interesting clips George posted. Thank you, George!

I'm impressed you are still tossing more out. I try but it hurts to let go

Good luck with the contract.

Thanks.

Remember I had a lot of my neighbor’s stuff to go through. His partner was a photographer and there were hundreds of photos and slides, including some interesting Hollywood memorabilia. And my stuff.

I have new neighbors downstairs and they are readers. I will give them a bag of my discards.

DR JEANNE you were correct to balk.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #174 on:** July 03, 2025, 03:43:30 PM »

I wonder if your friend's collection included any photos of Miss Allison Hayes?

You must of course immediately go through them all and check.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #175 on:** July 03, 2025, 03:44:16 PM »

DR JANE I do not understand the phrase "letting go" - please elaborate.

Jeanne · « **Reply #176 on:** July 03, 2025, 03:45:05 PM »

I’ve already had some “refuser’s remorse.”

Possibly, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t recognize her. There were many I did recognize — Bob Hope, Streisand, Liza, Travolta (Bruce passed those photos on to him and they were lovely). I’m doing a first pass to weed out wedding photos of total unknowns, then I’ll give Bruce another batch.

The internet tells me that the town fireworks will start tonight at about 9:15 pm. So I may move to the front porch at that time.

Because of all of the tall trees between my house and the park I can only see the fireworks that go the HIGHEST.....but I can certainly hear them.

So much history gets lost. It’s a shame.
