COLD DARK ROOM

[Ray--Opo]

Welcome to the CDR....... Where no one ever leaves!!!!!! MWHAHAHAHA

Just like Hotel California.
You can check out anytime you want.
But you cant never leave!

Yeah..... TODAY is final closing day on the house we are selling in northern Virginia! We started getting it ready first week of June, painting, cleaning, a few new things, new microwave, power washing, new window screens, replaced a cracked window, got the gas fireplace perfectly working, replaced the furnace, redid the garden, and stained the deck. Whew.

So - the last Chapter is today - The Closing! @ 1100

That's great. Now you'll have lots of time on your hands...can't wait to see what you do with it.

 

[Cathie G]

Hello everyone, just wanted to say hello. Wife and mother in law are back home. So everything is back to normal. Been on the other side greeting new members and it's hard to keep up with the CDR. My thumb can only handle so much typing.
Hope everything is fine and will try to catch up with you all.
Opo says hello!

Hello. I can't keep up either but the more the merrier.

Maybe you can harvest the dandelion leaves before they get crispy. Soak and rinse them, then put the leaves on a paper towel and put the entire thing (greens and wet paper towel) in a plastic zipper bag... and put the bag in the refrigerator. That should keep for several days, a couple weeks. At least that worked when I tried it several weeks ago.

I bought these containers on TV. It was one of the 3am infomercial. Never used them I was single at the time. 7 or 8 yrs later when Opo came into my life I was struggling with keeping greens fresh. I ask the wife if we had them. She got them down from the attic.
They are called Debbie Meyer Lockin Green Box.
They actually work. I pat the greens down to get them fairly dry.Pick out any bad peices put a piece of paper towel on top and put in the fridge.
Butttttttt! I don't know if they are available anymore.

My sister froze carrots whole and uncooked. Her pup loved to chew on one of those - helped with sore teething gums. In fact her pup still loves a chew on the occasional carrot.

Ok, back from Settlement! The Buyer signs at 1400, the $$$$$ gets EFT’D tomorrow.

Final final plan is to Florida SOON. We have been looking on the east coast between St Augustine to Palm Coast. But, this March, we went kayaking on the Gulf side, south of Tampa, near Naples and loved the access to water there.

I’m now thinking, a Townhouse there! Decisions, decisions.

Of course Ray could suggest where!

Excellent. Such a relief to have it sorted

Sounds like a great idea

Which coast is more likely to get hurricanes?

I love the Naples area...and it is a bit primitive inland. That's what I liked about it. The best of both worlds.

What are you going to do with no trees to cut down (or up)? No pine trees in Florida.

Aldabraman lives round there I think

Both sides get hit with storms.

Tons of Pine Trees in Florida. Most of the properties we looked at had many large pines. (Believe me, i checked).

Yes...that wonderful tortoise paradise!

That depends on the time of the year (part of the season). Hurricanes are more likely to form in certain waters during certain months... although nothing is guaranteed.

My suggestion is OUTSIDE any flood zones and storm surge zones.

Are you looking at newer construction?

I love it- a wood stick!. My Newfie drug a 3" diameter and 4' long branch into the house through the doggie door. When a pup wants to chew they chew.

If you live in Florida (not just visit), you have a 100 percent probability of getting hit by a hurricane. It's just a matter of how soon/often and how hard.
