Saturday GS/ES report, see man:

 

Out of Many itineraried GSs & ESs, in addition to several drive-by GSs, we didn't find a blasted thing, utter zero man.

 

We made the mistake (again) of stopping at an ES run by the most expensive outfit around, second place bad but not even close man.  Going to theirs sucks the life out of us, life sucks man.  We shall not bother in the future, no man.

[TBoneTX 44,800]

From the looks of the above ES casa, the ES outfit hadn't sold one thing -- and Saturday was the "final" day man.

We anticipate a "round 2" ad in which they announce that they're returning next weekend, tipoff of ripoff man.

If we were the client, we would say, "Why did we even bother hiring you, huh man?", sigh man.

They sound stupid. Why not lower the prices the next day or whatever and put a big sign that says 50% off?  The point of an estate sale is to get rid of as much as possible.

Our internet provider just upped everyone from 450 to 500 GB within the last day or too. I see they've changed our counter and their website.  This is good because the kids killed it this month already by watching youtube on the TV. For some reason you can't control the stream rate on the xbox and it was eating up all the data. I had to remove the app. TV shows from actual networks are the worst for this too.

It is NOT good, sorry Nola-B. ma'am.  Treasure-hunting is of no value without the hunt yielding treasure, see ma'am.

Many.  The point of an estate sale is to get rid of as much as possible.

1.  They (husband/wife) strike me as inflexible & arrogant, sigh man.  I've nearly tried to tell them your next points, kindly, but it might be taken the wrong way and how they run their business isn't my business unless they ask, sigh man.

 

2.  Almost every other ES outfit does that, si ma'am.  Even the #2 most expensive outfit goes half-off during their last 2 hours (often still too expensive, but the spirit is there), si man.

 

Many.  Repeat along with us, Nola-B. ma'am:  "Duh, man!"  There is somewhat of a line between making money for the client and getting rid of stuff, but every other outfit (well, not #1 or #2) seems to manage this pretty well every time, gee man.  In the end, the money will be there if the products are moving out the door, we conclude man.

 

We simply don't fathom what good it does to spend an intense week (or longer) pricing/staging stuff, then 2 or Many days sitting inside, moving almost nothing when people are looking for bargains or treasures that will make them happy and make them think well enough of your business to become repeat customers, seems obvious man.

Thrilling Sunday report, see man:

 

We had to leave the casa today, nonpreferable on most Sundays man.

Mrs. T-B. had a foto-shoot some distance away for her Facebook business page, fotogenic she man.

(She brought about Many,000 changes of apparel with her, highly predictable she man.)

 

We therefore chauffeured Mini-B. to Mama T-B., wee man see senior she ma'am.

Mini-B. took his birthday card for Mama T-B., writ by wee with dictation help from we man.

Mama T-B. went pleasantly "aysheep," highly predictable senior she man.

 

We then waited amidst a barbershopful of Mexicans to get our hairs cut, full hour man.

Fortunately, we got our preferred Mexicana barberette, Lucy better than Margarita man.

The charge was $Many ($2+2+2), only $1 more than in actual Mexico man.

 

We then lunched at Wendy's with use of coupon, $avvy we man.

After quick return to the casa, we retrieved Mini-B., retrieve we wee from senior she man.

As usual, Mama T-B. spoiled the dickens out of Mini-B., doting senior she man.

 

Weather was perfect to mow front yard, but we didn't, unindustrious we man.

 

Rest of day was laundry (the minimum Many loads), nap-with-cat, and scoping Mrs. T-B.'s fotos man.

She indeed took Many,000 of herself in all Many,000 outfits, highly predictable she man.

Mrs. T-B. is a little vain but indeed highly fotogenic and objectively probably quite a hot tamale, looker she man.

So, I've been sucked down the rabbit hole of getting an Irish whistle in a low d. Unfortunately, they aren't cheap like the higher pitched ones. I reeeeeaaaaaallly want one. But, I acknowledge my attempt at a low/no buy this year. 

 

However, I've somehow bargained with myself that if the amount of dental work I need this year is low, I can swing it. 

 

 

It probably won't be low. We budget a lot of money towards the dentist every year and for good reason. 😒

So, cheat the system by getting one in low E-flat, si Nola-B. ma'am.

Actually, an even better investment is a Pre-Owned Toilet Seat, obviously ma'am.

I might just get a high D one to practice. They are definitely cheap. I have some concerns that my hands might be too small to cover the holes in a low d anyway.

If anything, it has encouraged me to pull my oboe out of the closet.

 

When I hear people here talk about getting teeth pulled, I cringe so hard. Why are you doing that to yourself? It messes up your whole mouth. It is one thing to make that decision later on when a root canal has failed and the choice is between pulling and an implant, but in your 20s/30s?  I don't get it.

[N-o-l-a 7,167]

Remember how I said that I had cats before I realized I was allergic?  This oboe is one that I haven't used since early high school before I rented nicer ones. There are cat hairs in the case.  🤮 I wonder if music store near the dentist has reeds. I know oboes have become more popular in the last 20 years. I used to have to order mine online back in the day, even in New York.

Ya I wouldn't want to try to use it if you found cat hairs. WIth your luck one will lodge in your throat during a snow storm

 

 

So after a almost 2 1/2 inch reaction at my injections sites and my doctor being gone for a week. The nurse had me stop until she could reach the doctor. Today she called and  the National Allergy Association or board I can't remember said to stop treatment. The dosage just keeps going up and up at this point and I've been reacting since early November. My doctor wants to send me to another doctor and continue shots with her. I'm not sure I want to. The total exhaustion is gone and so is the insomnia since I stopped injections a week ago.

My wife...

First, her friend and 2 kids arrive to visit and have dinner. Ok no problem. Next, she invites her sister and 2 kids. 

Then another friend calls, now they're here too. On a Monday night? 3 adults and 6 kids visiting? 

Chinese people are stupid...

What's wrong with these people??

I'm about to throw everybody out.
