Southern California is a very difficult area to get started in, so yeah, if he doesn't have a really good plan he'll get eaten alive.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

On another topic altogether: About a year an a half ago a Starbucks opened in DC, right on the line to my MD town. (My hippie dippy town does not make chains welcome, thankyouverymuch.) In the past two weeks two independent local coffee shops have announced a closing.
I'm not happy, and I hardly ever drink coffee anymore.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
That sucks, Sparky. I hate when that happens.

Oh no, Sparky, which ones?? My bff no longer lives just a few blocks from the metro (they're near Fort Totten now) but still super sucky.

Not javachik
I got out of bed with a long list of things to do, after doing one thing in bed: Making reservations to go to Houston for an old friend's birthday. Spent much time reading Natter instead.
I often host friends or friends of friends at my house, but always as a guest, not a roommate, or Airbnb or whatever. Partly legal (it's miiiiiine is not a bad position), partly selfish/lazy. I don't have to clear out drawers or closets.
I need to do a will. My last one was ages ago. And clean out closets. And figure out if I can really do the Houston thing. Regular guest here has a pet sitting gig the exact same time. I'm annoyed though I have no right to be.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Epic, stand your ground. Your house, your right to decide who can stay there.
Suzi, Lee, and -t, have a wonderful time on vacation! I'll be in Vegas the 21st-23rd.
No improvements here with the sibs or my kid. DH and I want to run away and join the circus or something.
Ugh, I'm sorry. The Keys are closer to the circus. Rum runners and merlot for everyone!

Most recent response included "sorry for your loss", so apparently playing the Mom card worked.
I wish him the best and all, but no.

It's good to have a plan!

Ugh, Sparky, I loved La Mano!! Boo. Stupid Starbucks.

Go Epic! You will know if/when it is right to open you home to another family member or friend. This kid has too many Red Flags. Oy.

Maria - I feel like we should find a way to leave you a note/scavenger hunt something. I know - not likely.
Last couple of days have been bad foot days. The CBD cream isn't giving much relief. But my back and hip have been pretty good for the last week or two. Silly body.
