A Wee Bit O'Scotland

Real life intrudes.  Sorry for the slow post schedule.  Back in the garden shed of spousal exile today and will hopefully get ahead of the tidal wave.  Family in San Diego over the weekend.  La Jolla is insane.  My sibling asked my opinion of a "village" property.  I don't even have the real estate vocabulary to couch my reaction/reply in civil terms.

  4. A follow up to the past thread.


    When one of those Atlantic up-coast storms run up the Connecticut Valley the damage can get severe.

  7. Condo regime in Tx. You own the home, but not the land it's built on.

  9. La Jolla, still the place to be 50 years later. I learned to drive in La Jolla and the bridges around mission bay. :)

  10. "Rob that's hideous. Scarrier than a house of torment."

    Pardon the following language.

    I have never seen a turd polished to such a high shine.
    Steps down to the entry level.
    Steps up/down to the nearest bathroom.
    Embedded "features" that are scary ugly.

    The visitors were required to wear booties whilst the Realtoresses wore spiked ankle boots.

    The neighbor was grilling hamburgers. Smelled great. Almost as if their grill were 5 feet from the main floor window.

    They didn't call the root cellar the dungeon but...

    Zebra wood everywhere.

  11. Beware the neighbor two doors down smokes so you may be at risk of cancer. Kali nuts.

  12. Horrible. The people who did this remodel should be in jail for house abuse. I like the look of one or 2 pieces of furniture and the floors. Did any actual human being ever live there?

  13. To top it off, I'll bet that some architect collected a hefty fee for designing that nightmare.

  15. Do you call Miz Dawg "She who must be obeyed?"

  16. I may have alluded to the ongoing developments in the old town:

    Article contains excuses from the police - the same police that refuse to respond to property crimes.

  17. Thanks sm. People used to think I was kidding that the SaMo PD insisted you drive to the station to report a stolen car.

  18. Where's Tom and Jane when Soviet Monica needs them? It was so nice a long time ago.

  19. For the record. Mrs Dawg does not -need- to be obeyed. It is just a very very good idea.

    1. Rumpole Rob.
      The spellcheck really didn't like Rumpole.

  21. Read old Dawg post about subsidizing refrigeration. Subsidizing? Dawg?

  22. Good Morning!

    I'm the boss of my house, my wife said so. :)

  24. Any thoughts about indictments?

  25. I'm about ready for this to be over with.

  26. One of the Regulations Trump want to reduce is the cattail requirements of banks!!

  27. Rumpole of the Bailey was a wise character.

    The kittehs are content in the extreme. The big orange has taken to supervising the patio from a throne chair. The small gray has taken it upon herself to make sure the birds at the feeder are orderly and attentive.

    Old Dawg and the community refrigerator? Nothing wrong with your memory! I will repost.

    I think cattails for the bankers is a good start.

  28. Not memory, reading 2004 post. Very tired today
    Maybe I will start with old posts and come foreward.
