I am fine on this end. How about you have you sold the condo yet? Nope. I fired my real estate agent before I even hired him. I told him, "Hit the road Jack, and don't you come back...no more, no more, no more, no more." LOL He gets a pin pr*** with one of Moon's best. HAHAHAH! |

Hello Dear Friends, I'm glad to be here, taking a break from The Perfect Storm. In brief, I can' t sell the condo I own. I can't even give away valuable things in it to friends, relatives or even charity. People love the idea but won't come and pick up their presents. At the Salvation Army, the head of the Citadels keep shifting faster than the speed of telephone or email. My favorite moving company just got top prize in a major magazine and now they won't return my calls...and so forth and so on. My Dear Dad used to love to quote the old Roman maxims, one of which is "Res Habent Sua Fata", which means "Things have a fate of their own". Tell me about it! None of my things care about what I care about. LOL So that's why I'm calling the experience of not-selling my condo "The Perfect Storm"; whatever can go wrong IS going wrong. But enough about me. Harvard university releases their Ig_Nobel Prizes every year around this time to honour the weirdest work in science. They've just released their 2008 awards and you can find them on the bottom of this Wiki page. Enjoy! :]] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ig_Nobel_Prize_winners Bests to you all! Beets |

Beets: sorry to hear about your difficulties. It's hard to find that what you value, others don't. But then maybe, you're not supposed to sell it at this time. Only time will tell. AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Take care, my friend and God be with you! |

Hello, Dear Friends!!! :]] Bob, Cody, Misfit...thanks for your kind and humourous posts! The "Perfect Storm" on my condo sale continues with the credit crunch caused by the bank bailout. This campaign ad sums up what I feel about the Bailout... |

Thanks and see ya around, Hi Kenny!!! A Big Welcome to you!!! :]] Since I've been talking about banks this morning, here's a shot you might like. My two best friends (departed now), Rebel and Pooh-Bear, would've really liked the Burke & Herbert bank. They keep two baskets for guests: one with Tootsie Rolls for the kids and another with Milk Bones for the doggies. :]] P.S. The Beethoven's Cafe motto is... Up the Funsters!!! . |

Hi Beets, It is good to see you are still around. The turkey looks great Hope you have a good Thanksgiving there ours isn't for another month and a half here. Hey Bob!!! :]] Hopefully the the OOHs, Ahhs, and burps from Jennifer, Kenzie, Pawlie, me and the rest of us Canucks will whet your appetite for your holiday to come. :]] For the first time in years, I'm not having home cooked Turkey Dinner, but I'm going to the Delta hotel in town where they promise me a great meal of Maple, Parsnifp, Lobster Tail Veloute, followed by traditional Roast Turkey with Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, gravy, Cranberry Preserve and Asparagus; finished off with Pumkin Cheesecake. At $30 a hit, it had better be good. LOL |

P.S. The Beethoven's Cafe motto is... Yeah I'm having a hell of a time with something else in Vista too, and how a very important something else doesn't want to work with it. me@rescam.org |
