Pour yourself a mug of your favorite morning brew. Pull up a chair and join us for our morning roll call here on the BBB.

    Late and uncomfortable night of sleeping on couch in utility room following open house.

    Not many people came through - ugh! Lotta work for little reward (IMHO).

    Frustrated.

    Mornin' BBB.

    Missed check in yesterday.
    Miss Lisa helped me find a new veterinarian for a client that moved out of CT to her neck of the woods. He was super appreciative.
    Looking to going solar. Talking to a company that doesn't require any investment on the part of the homeowner.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning.

    Sorry the juice wasn't worth the squeeze, Skip. Just remember that it only takes one buyer to fall in love with the place though. You're not allowed to sleep in your own bed?

    I guess I always imagined you living in a very wooded area, Lee. Is that one of those companies that over-powers the roof so you can put excess power back into the grid? We have a program like that here through Austin Energy, but there are hoops you have to jump through.

    The Itzhak Perlman concert *kitten* very nice and worth the time if it comes to your neck of the woods.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • I'm trying to understand Lou's use of *kitten*. Hmm.
    • A blizzard in Southern California. That'll give them something to talk about for years to come.
    • I made a trip to Costco yesterday. After enjoying the infamous hotdog and coke lunch special I filled my car with paper products. Oh, I got cheap gas too.
    • Selling a home is never fun. I hope it happens soon Skip.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    We have the grandkids again tonight and tomorrow. Their parents are meeting a friend in the mountains to ski. The friend was recently diagnosed with a relapse of cancer he has fought for a couple of years. It was thought to be in remission but has metastasized. He starts chemo Monday. The prognosis is pretty grim.

    We sold three houses over the years. The first went easy. Sold in two days. The others were slow and stressful. I wish you all the luck in the world, Skip.

    Morning all.

    Our saga with Chase continues. We opened a southwest card last week. Have been aggressively using it to meet the spend. All online as the card is in Nebraska and no tap to pay here.

    They reversed our huge Amazon order and have now locked the account. Supposed to call me back as to what’s next. Arggg. I have 3 flights I need to book and I need that companion pass.

    Happy Friday,
    Home market has slowed due to finance rates which are climbing to slow inflation.
    Our HOA does not allow solar but I know some enjoy lower electric cost then some got suckered in where they may never come out.
    Need to make trip to Lowe's; got conned into building a lighted shelf for Emmaus.
    DD and family coming tonight and tomorrow or Sunday will take DMIL for a week or two, think DW and DSIL are planning a trip for next weekend while I'll be helping set up camp for Emmaus walk, following week.

    Yep, just like that, Lou. Definitely a few hoops. The back of our house faces South and gets a lot of sun.
    Hope you get that SNAFU worked out , Steph. What a headache.
