Huh. The street view of the house I grew up in is from just last month. I always hear about how bad the neighborhood has gotten, but it doesn't look bad at all.
I cleaned out an email box today and discovered that my child has been accepted to kindergarten at the Growing Up Green charter school. E-mail doppelganger strikes again.
Ohhh, I did that once. Greasy skillet in his bed. And he had a dog, a very sweet, food oriented dog.
He had to buy new sheets. Several times in 3 mo. because he did not learn.
The house in San Francisco where I first lived with DH 28 years (egads, SO old!) I remember very fondly and so does a previous tenant who visited the house one day. DH saw a sad looking fellow sitting in his car and asked what was up. The guy said it had been his home, and it wasn't big enough when they had to take on some aging parents. He just wanted to enjoy some memories.
I also visited my old house when I was driving my neighbor to SF Kaiser for her treatment. Her last day happened to be an anniversary when I moved in, so I also parked my car and gazed at my old house. It was neatly kept so I think the new occupants love that little house too.
So I have gone slightly viral on my kpop fandom twitter account. Slightly as in 8000 likes in twelve hours. Luckily only a couple people are mad at my joke (it's a very protective fandom) but I just want to be around people who actually know me. Hold me??
Some things not even being a Classics-trained librarian will save you from, you know?
Well, now that you mention it I'm sure there's a greek philosophy approach to this problem.
Eeep, flea! And you got that nice round 8000 post number too.
I looked at the house I grew up in, although I drive by it from time to time when up north. My mother never drove down the street again after she sold it, which I get, but she also liked when I would let her know it looked good. Anyway, the pine tree that was there when I was a kid is still there, about twice as tall as the 2 story house. It's older than me! eta: I wish that the picture had been taken in the Spring because the tree on the right side of the house is a lilac and can be quite showy. [link]
The rule in my house is that dirty dishes are in the sink, rinsed dishes can be on the counter or put in the dishwasher. Everyone knows it is a rule, pretty much no one actually follows this rule.
Good luck, flea. It'll blow over soon? Which is good or bad?
