2:16 am
sprite
oh how lovely! You'll have such fun :)
2:18 am
sprite
yeah I slept reasonably well. To be awakened by the telephone lol... Rob had been to work, came back because he had forgotten his agenda/calender (?) and then found out he had forgotten his key too. He was standing in front of the house and couldn't get in *giggle*
2:19 am
grannyrose
oh dear!! sounds like he must have left in a hurry.
2:19 am
sprite
nah, more in a distracted mood, lol. Or half asleep still. The poor man starts work at 7 am... must leave home very early.
2:19 am
jbp

2:20 am

2:21 am
sprite
good age, isn't it, jbp? Thank you and a lovely day to you as well.
2:22 am
jbp
i'm wrestling with whether to continue with hair coloring... temples are going white, but the rest of it is basically salt and paprika... redhead, you know
2:22 am
grannyrose
* grey cells going into overdrive* what to do next year !! hmmmmm, let me see...
2:22 am
jbp
this is the age my sister was when she stopped dying hers, but she has a nice salt & pepper thing going
2:23 am
sprite
yeah it does, rose. And I am gonna celebrate, for sure. Btw, I celebrate this year as well. First time in ages that I really have invited people and told my family I wanted the works... breakfast, gifts, people coming, the whole enchilada.
2:23 am
jbp
enchiladas for breakfast? ;-)
2:23 am
grannyrose
oh, jbp, my friend had red hair, she said she became a strawberry blonde as she got older.
2:23 am
sprite
ah, greying is not always pleasant for redheads. I have stopped dying my hair ages ago and I am nicely streaked with silver hairs.
2:24 am
jbp
yep... i don't mind that part... it's sort of a weird golden brown, red thing.
2:24 am

Hi Crossy, another brisk summer morn today :)
7:51 am
crosshair
yes, woke up to 6C this morning;)
7:52 am
TraderKate
brrrr....we're up to a balmy 15, but the winchill must be in effect ;)
8:01 am
crosshair
I actually do not mind 15-20 C and sun. I can do what I like outdoors without sweating bullets:)
8:02 am
crosshair
Although i think my blood is as thick at honey:)
8:03 am
crosshair
I loathe "dead air" in the house. from May till october i usually have a fan flowing a breeze in the direction of my desk.
8:03 am
crosshair
Blowing*
8:04 am
TraderKate
yes, I was trying to do some weeding on the weekend - between the sweat and the skeeters, I gave up and ran for shelter... can't take the heat/humidity anymore
8:05 am
crosshair
Let's see what my brother is dealing with today...
8:06 am
crosshair
lol! 38C or 100F!
8:06 am
TraderKate
Poor sod!
8:06 am
crosshair
Well, he chose to live in a desert. I see all next week it 98F to 108F for him.
8:07 am
TraderKate
He can have it! What are the night temperatures like?
8:08 am
TraderKate
oh...thought they might be lower
8:09 am
crosshair
he is basically right in vegas. I do not think they quite get the heat dissipation that they do right out in the desert proper
8:10 am
TraderKate
makes sense, the buildings and pavement would hold the daytime heat, then dissipate it at night.
8:13 am
bichon
Kate you're not the only one who can't take the heat and humidity any more. We use something called a "buff". It's a cloth headband made out of a special material that absorbs the sweat and keeps it from dripping down into your eyes
8:16 am
TraderKate
they used to make terry cloth ones like that - think tennis players.. but this is something new and improved?
I was sweating from head to toe on Sunday - do they make a full body version, LOL
8:19 am

Now it is time for crossy's quote of the day!!!
8:19 am

"Life on Earth is the cosmic equivalent of what happens when you don't store things in a cool,dry place."--Unknown.

Bring it on!

And for those who care, my new poem is posted on peotry.com and is ready for voting:)
8:23 am
crosshair
I use my real name in there. Never hide your work behind a pen name unless that name will adversely affect the way in which people will judge what is written:)
8:23 am
crosshair
Joe Hill springs to mind as an example:)
8:24 am

last one i saw was a unremarkable two bedroom bunglaow with attached garage in a prime area of the city. it listed at $750,000.00, was shown to 30 people and a bidding war ensued. it ended up going for 1.3 million dollars.
11:18 am

we didn't have a bidding war on our house.. but one person stepped up and took out all the others quickly
11:18 am

That is well:)
11:18 am
rururocks
I was hoping for a bidding war :D
11:18 am
helensgirlkid
The worst of a market like this is that there's no possibility of the time to get an inspection done on the house - it would already have been sold by the time you got an appointment with an inspector!
11:19 am
rururocks
wow.. that's part of the contingencies here
11:19 am

The funny thing is that the homes in Toronto realizing these fabulous prices are nothing much to speak of.

You are correct, helen. From the time they get listed till a bidding ware happens is usually less than a week.

real estate market in Nashville is nuts right now too -- builders buying 1950s houses, often on a lot 100 x 200, stripping out all trees/shrubs, building "twin houses" in place of the original home, selling those for $600,000 or more apiece

construction right now on pretty much every street in my part of town -- jeez!!!

That is a growing trend in our area as well; buying a run-down house on a standard sized lot, bulldozing it, sub-dividing the property and cramming a pair of condos on it for the skiers.
