Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I have done the towel burrito thing and it is a good idea - for cats anyway.
Wondering if the "towel burrito" can be adapted as a safe transport of an immobile elder to the bathroom?
At the very least, any accidents will be on the burrito. Lol.
I know it is getting late, and it does sound far-fetched, but really-if they have fallen they are already on the floor. Just wrap them up and drag the towel/sheet into the bathroom.
dear golden, exciting about your move!! :) :)
Turn the carrier vertically, open the gate/zipper, put burrito-cat in. lol
Golden, happy for you that things are moving along with the move. Maybe look up some fun things to do in the new place, too? Where to get nails done, where to go to the movies, best chocolate shop in town. I'm excited for you.
Ming is just about back to normal. Just jumped up on the bed. Time to.sleep.
Host trying to figure out how to refund money. The system is very difficult to navigate. And their customer service is a nightmare!
DO NOT EVER DO BUSINESS WITH AIRBNB!!!! IF THERE IS A PROBLEM IT WILL BECOME A NIGHTMARE even if the host wants to refund some money.
Glad, I'm glad for you that you can put that airbnb into your rear view mirror. You'll know better next time.
Well, condo papers are signed and sealed and with the bank draft on the way to being delivered (couriered). So thankful all of this can be done remotely. We did the signing by phone. The lawyer was very nice - in fact friendly. I will drop by their office this summer. once I am settled down there. I need a lawyer there anyway. It was a busy day with the plumber fixing humidifiers, then the lawyer then trip to the courier. I am enjoying the humidified air. Should keep the dust down!
Now to get ahold of the condo people to set up payment of condo fees, and permission to have Rocky there, and the city for paying taxes, and decide on an internet/TV provider. My old tv, which, incidentally, works fine, is at least 25 years old but I will not bring it down. I remember the "good old days" when you replaced tubes in your TV. Did it many times. I will finally get a new "slim" one.
Been looking up medical clinics, dentist etc. I know the shopping fairly well, and the pharmacies. I think it will be an easy transition. I am finally starting to get a bit excited about the move. 😄😄😄
Don't think I will even have the nerve to try an Airbnb again after this experience!
i bet it'll feel great when you are HOME :) :).
I have a 2018 4Runner with only 30,000 miles on it. It is about 100 miles, two hour drive each way. Now I will start racking up those miles. It is due for maintenance so I will get that scheduled the end of next week.
new month, new start :).
“april” possibly comes from greek “aphrodite” (goddess of beauty). venus.
i wish us a beautiful month :).
wipe away the bad past. start again.
i’m lucky that things are calm (LOs well, etc.). i have no problems right now.
i wish us luck, with the challenges we face!
hug!!
bundle of joy :)
and good luck with the various challenges everyone’s facing!
here, the crazy weather continues (snow + spring) (hence my attempts at litigation against murphy’s law).
many challenges in our lives are tough…!
big good luck hugs from me.
be super kind to yourself :).
dear, sweet murphy,
i’m in the queue, with all my chocolate eggs. the judge is with me. who exactly are you with?
one step ahead of you. kiss, kiss.
bundle of joy :)
his sms:
Dear Bundle of Joy,
I heard you’re going to the supermarket today, to buy chocolate eggs for Easter. I’m sure you’ll be thinking about me, while you wait in the queu.
The court case? Postponed yes. But again, I had absitively posilutely nothing to do with it.
By pure coincidence, I’m taking the judge out for lunch today, at the same time you go to the supermarket. Of course, with no intention of getting him on my side.
Yours forever,
Murphy

i wrote an sms (lots of sms's back and forth these days between us, since the court case is mysteriously STILL postponed).
dear, sweet murphy,
the bottle of wine last night was very nice.
BUT, you're still in big trouble. and i'm telling on you. so there.
bundle of joy :)
i hope soon it's sorted!!
dear becky,
wonderful you're HOME :).
It is so discouraging to be in this situation. At least my house hasn't sold yet and I do love it so. We will see. New house to be done end of June if I don't find something I like better before then and if my house sells.
And on host claiming he didn't know, yes, Ali the mattress pad should have been cleaned before I arrived. And what host would spend several thousand on tempurpedic mattress? He just have bought it cheap or even off a curb for free. DISGUSTING!
Dear Bundle of Joy,
I enjoyed your confidence in winning against me in our imminent court case. You might want to relax tonight, before losing against me.
We can even drink a bottle of wine together tonight. And after our court case tomorrow, we can celebrate my victory.
Yours forever,
Think of me, next time you're at the supermarket (as you know: if you change queues, the one you have left will start to move faster than the one you are in now) (Murphy's 29th Law).
