A New What's Up Thread

[VegaVixen]

A little rain storm just passed through. I think I can safely get out to the big-box store now and pick up 6-10 landscape timbers, depending on how many I can find that aren't bowed.

Still haven't found any Krylon Short-Cuts enamel paint in the 1oz bottles. All I'm finding is the aerosol. Want the bottle so I can brush paint on handle/flag (red) and street address (white) on my mailbox. Guess that's what I get for having last done this 20 years ago.

Then I'm going to challenge my date to "Battle At Sea" at 25 yards.

I'd just bring the 16ga and adjust the choke to exta full.....

Yep. Should be fun using either red-dot holographic sight or 3-9x42 scope.

We put one of those up at seven yards a week or so ago and competed with our 1911 pistols in .45acp. That last dot is a bitch to hit, I tell ya!

The one at the end of the sentence? yeah, that's a pretty small target.

Glad to see VV's got new goals and MV's healthy (altho if if a cute nurse was rubbing my chest, sleep would be the furthest thing in mind -- getting old is for da boids, I tell ya.

So we used yesterday to collect and go through 10 days of mail, clean house, wash new car, weed & trim front garden, laundry, clean fridge, grocery-shop, wash stinky dogs (normally Schipperkes don't have a doggy odor, but after 10 days on the ranch, they were filthy & smelly), then I grilled corn, peppers & salmon on the grill. Oh, and we went to the flo' sto' & picked 8 samples of birch and acacia wood to bring home...took us all of 20 min. to pick our fave. Returned samples, ordered the goods, wrote a hefty check.

Work commences Monday. Thursday our plantation shutters will be installed. Our upstairs will be a crazy out-of-kilter work site for a week or so. I'm excited about the results and dreading the moving furniture/tearing out carpet/dust/inconvenience part.

So then our Coldwell Banker corporate sold our office to 2 local big real estate firms that merged and bought a CB franchise. For those couple hundred agents, it's a huge step up -- they get all the CB branding, education, marketing tools -- for us CB agents, it's a step down -- they can't offer anything other than their name. The worst is that we CB agents were the last to know -- evidently the newspapers (got interviewed as President of our Association + a CB agent; hope they get their sh!t straight when they quote me), affiliated businesses, even other brokers knew about it. And that's what makes me the most angry. We get short-shrift and they treat us like poor relations. *fume*

I have options -- will probably join a local independent broker with whom I've worked who I know I can trust, who has offered mentoring (as a former Association President) and friendship. I just am tired of the drama -- I just want to sell houses!

Shift happens...this, too, shall pass...
