This is the new home of me, Dirt Girl. Built at the request of a much loved GB icon. Actually, the old place was falling down and it was just cheaper to build a new one.

Hey dirt girl and friends:
Beautiful day and today is the annual "Pool Party Bbq" which usually is held indoors...LOL...and they have changed the name to "Tenants Appreciation Day" ..isn't that dumb, and they think we are too stupid to notice? Anyway l am going in case they have some info on the issues we have brought up..as rumor has it that the big shot will be there. l don't trust rumors as they are often if not always false. But for once a year it is a free food gathering tho not much. The once l went l got a plain hot dog and store bought vinegary potato salad my stomach wouldn't take, and a teeensy slice of watermelon. l didn't dare go up for seconds as l was once told..."Not everyone has been served" meaning l guess the maintenance man hadn't shown up yet. But the managers sister managed to get 5 slices of watermelon. l just don't care for these events. Once l went and you go up and get in line by table number, so l got back to my table and started to eat and a lady said "it is the way l was raised to wait til everyone is seated at the table before starting to eat" l guess she thought she was in charge and at home. l got nasty and lied and said "The way l was raised, it you didn't get your food and start eating you might not GET any food" Which was not at all the case, but l just was offended by her expecting to apply her rules to others.

Goldie: my problem with the card is not ME but my housekeepers forgetting the card, ad they work for many different people who have different ways of doing wash and they can't really remember them all. It happens and sometimes they forget to give it back to me. l put a shoestring thru a hole in it after seeing others have done so, so it is more obvious and less chance of leaving it behind.

goldieolds, I hope spring is back. I'm tired of the cooler temps. I think question mark is right but I hope not. :)

db, Finally sunny here. :)

trugas, I think you need one of those card holders that they have at the casinos. When you walk away from the machine, you will feel the string tug. :)

Maybe spring is actually back? But will it stay is the real question. Of course it's almost time for summer, so getting spring now . . .

Tru, I'm visualizing a little crocheted pouch hanging around your neck with your laundry card in it. ;)

It's a card you go to a machine in the office and put your money in and it registers so you can use the washer in another building...l have heard some discussion of puttin machines in the other building available more hours than the office ...that would actually take your debit card just like in a grocery store ...credit card l am not sure...
Anyway the credit on this special laundry machine card l don't want to put more than say $9 on because it is easily left behind and no one will return it. No way of identifying the owner actually. So you have to buy another one at a cost of $25. over the money on the lost or left card . It just isn't a good way for the tenants..it is great for the merchandiser who provides the machines. His money machine is protected.

Hi folks.

Down into the 40s again, and I did as you said, DG, and did not put my jacket away yet. But it got cold again anyway. :( I swear, it felt like fall today. Is that all we get, a few measly days of spring and about two of summer? Hibernation urge has returned. sheesh . . .

Tru, sorry to hear about your leg pain and other related issues. And some unrelated ones, too. I don't recommend all types of physical therapy, but the PTs who do hands-on manual manipulation can be terrific. Not so much, the ones that have you on machines and doing all kinds of exercises and such.

I started with a new (to me) one last year and she is terrific. She's working on opening up areas on me that probably haven't moved in years. I found her from the glowing recommendation of a 92-year old patient at my acupuncture clinic, who said "Lulu" got her moving in ways she hadn't been able to move in years. And I can see why. So glad I finally followed her recommendation, after trying someone else first. That one was good, too, but this is helping me much more.

Good massage therapists can do wonders, too, in helping with things like that, too, but harder to get it paid for. That probably depends upon what your laws are in CA, but here it's not covered except under auto insurance for accidents. Although some p.t. clinics include it. I've been lucky to find a free student clinic, and it has help tremendously. Can't get it as often as I need it, but some is better than nothing. Trust me, I've had many years of these kinds of issues and if it weren't for these types of "alternative" therapies, I doubt I'd be walking now. But finding the right ones and getting them paid for is not easy. Good luck.

If you ever decide you want to look for the type of p.t. I'm talking about, I can give you some terms to ask for in trying to find one. They are definitely not all alike.

Once I went to a p.t. who was rubbing my back with an ice cube on a stick. She said to me, "I know people are really in pain when they let me do this to them." I wanted to get up off the table and slug her. But of course I didn't do or say anything. She was referred to my by a M.D. (a physiatrist or physical medicine doctor) who she worked with. I went to him because he was trying to be holistic. But he still had a lot to learn in that direction. That was back in the '80s. Luckily, there are more MDs who "get it" now. But not enough.

Oops, slipped up onto my soapbox again. Sorry.

trugas, I've never heard of having to use a credit card for a washing machine. My guess would be that cuts down on people trying to break into machines for the coins.

Good morning dirt girl:
Yes l saw drs last year when l had the same problem, l saw a vascular surgeon who said maybe it was a pinched nerve in my spine. He saw 50% blockage fo legs esp behind right knee but it required regular sugery and he didn't think the relief would be worth all that surgery. Both knee joints also have arthritis and there is something else as well. l had no problems til l started exercising in the swim pool. Same thing last summer. Just know l can barely walk after pool exercise for 3 to 4 days this time. Sad as l miss the pool now that they have turned the heat up to 80 degrees. That was my issue with the management. That isn't allowable for withholding rent. Other issues are dog walking with too long or no leash, and chairs on grass areas, planting flowers etc. None are rent withholding issues. lt is simply harrassment. because we complained about the landscaping, pool temperature and condescending manager. My other issue is the lack of availability of the laundry machine which dispenses card credit to use the washers.

Does anyone here watch The Walking Dead? I watched the first two seasons on Netflix, now I'm watching the third season, on another website.

I've never gotten into a TV show, so much. It's like a very long movie, split into many episodes.

Hi folks.

Yes, DG, it's pretty funny. But we have so many because we need them, with all the variables of our weather and the length jacket/coat season. Unfortunately, we spend a lot of time in them. For many years I kept some that I'd outgrown in case a friend or relative from a warmer clime came to visit in the winter. They never did. :( Except my aunt, and she always brought one (not really heavy enough) because she doesn't like to wear other people's. I think I finally got rid of them. Or I should have. Better check & see what I can donate next fall when the ask for them. Although they ask for children's coats, I think some older kids must be big enough to wear my old ones.

Just checked again, and I believe we are still have the highest metro area gas prices in the country. Since Hawai'i and California are usually the two highest, I looked at L.A.: $4.082 and Honolulu: $4.25. Twin Cities: $4.307.
These figures from Gas Buddies home pages averages.

goldieolds, I can't believe that gas is this high either. I did fill up yesterday on the assumption that it would be going up today. It is funny how we have so many coats, jackets...I can remember going on vacations years ago and having to take a windbreaker in August when going to the north shore. lol

db, This would have been a heck of a lot of s***. Btw, the groundskeeping crews have been out sweeping up the debris field from the piles of s*** in area shopping centers. lol

MadDog, I believe there were refinery shutdowns and some of the gas destined for here went elsewhere. :(

trugas, Have you asked your doctor why this is happening? Maybe you have plantar faceitis or something similar. You do eat good. Lemon bars. Yummy. Hope it all works out for you. I know here if the landlord doesn't make repairs and you've tried to work it out, you can hold your rent in an account until the repairs are made. Don't know if it is the same out there but I would suggest looking into the tenants union out there. I would think they would have some free info for seniors. :)

Hello dirt girl and Goldie too: As you two seem to empathize with me the most. Just no sympathy please or l cry..
Had a good weekend, did little paddling and brief walking and still hobble afterwards for day or two. took an avil today as l woke. l don't like to take pain meds but this is ridiculous. So l feel ok now. l have been awake for 4 hours. fried potatoes snd onions for breakfast ..Made lemon bars yesterday and shared at the "group get together". Watched and enjoyed the puppies run and chase each other. one likes to grab another's leash and pull them around. The big service dog wasn't there, (he has his own lawyer btw fighting the managers write up about his barking.) We get together and enjoy thier dogs and each other. One lady gets on her phone to let others know we are gathering. lt's all good. Kinda funny how we repeat what each other says to the harder of hearing and one lady shouts at me if l question or disagree with what she says and l said "Don't shout at me, I'M NOT hard of hearing."

DG, I thought you would understand. It must be pretty common for Minnesotans to have a whole wardrobe of winter and in-between jackets and coats. Just like Floridians probably have a wardrobe of bathing suits. Gee, need bathing suit, need heavy coat; need bathing suit, need heavy coat; need bathing suit, need heavy coat - such a hard choice. :?/ My coat wardrobe increased when my parents died. Now I wear my mother's, and even my Dad's.

We now have the dubious distinction of having the highest or second highest gas prices in the country. Can you believe that? We passed California and Honolulu, and are within 2ยข of Hawaii's average. So I guess if you just compare cities, were #1.

Tru, I was thinking maybe you are overdoing it on the exercises, then read the next sentence, where you said it. I think paddling and playing in the water will still be good for you. You're still moving your muscles against the resistance of the water. I should get back to doing it myself.

I like that you speak your mind; it's one of the things I like about you. But be careful, unless you do want to move. You've expressed being happy there, overall. If you're just on month-to-month terms without a lease, then I think they can terminate you, without cause. Just 30 or 60 days notice. Not sure.

Previously DG suggested looking into the tenants union, if there is one there. I think that could be a good idea. Or maybe you can find info about tenant/landlord rights the net.

Good morning dirt girl and evryone else too...

l do have exercises to do out of the water and went to water courses and learned many movements for arms waist back and legs. Got it covered. l went to the pool and it had only been turned up to 80 for one and one half hours and it was so much nicer. l will float and paddle and try not to overdo..this is my problem..l do the exercise too fast and too strenuously.

l was invited to move by the district manager because l had sent an email to her about only one weed being removed from my area while the front of the property received pretty new flowers. She said l didn't appreciate all the hard work she has been doing and the time spent communicating and if l wanted she would talk to May Manager, and tell her to release me from my lease with no penalty so l could move. She would meeet me privately to accomplish this.

Now l read that "if you don't like it ,,move"

But l emailed her that l could move with only a 30 day notice anytime l wished and l don't wish, as l am now on a month to month basis. l did want to know what issues had been resolved and looked forward to her report at the meeting she intends to schedule for all tenants. She had said about half of the concerns were addressed and l don't see them.

Just because they worked for one and a half days in the yard just before the owner was due, doing what should regularly be done by the gardeners, for us not the owner, is not addressing our concerns about the landscape. That hit her sore spot because she had physically worked here. Not my problem and not our concern that she had to do so.

Lots of green leaves on the trees now. And the flowering ones are all abloom. How quickly they forget. ;) Finally! Ok, I'll keep my jacket out for a while yet. Hope I don't need to wear it again, though, until at least Sept. Just kidding. November would be better.

This is a lighter weight winter jacket. I've got a variety of winter jackets and coats, for cold, colder and coldest. Thinsulate, down and downiest. I'm pretty sure you know what I mean.

DG, yes, I did do that and sent them a link to this website so they can check prices. Maybe they already use it, but I don't know.

You think it's safe for me to put my winter jacket in the back closet again? I did that once already, a couple of weeks ago, and then had to dig it out again.

Tru, even just paddling around and having fun in the pool will be good exercise. You'll still be moving against the resistance of the water.

Maybe you can find a good physical therapist who can teach you some water exercises or movements that won't hurt your legs.

Morning dirt girl:
l have discovered that the pool exercises are what are causing my leg pain! !! Can you believe that? l go to the pool to exercise my legs so l can continue to walk and the exercises make my legs so sore l hobble (literally) the next 2 or 3 days. l only stay 20 minutes usually but the other day l did almost twice that. Still l looked back at last years pain and seeing a vascular surgeon and the pains were always during the pool days. Stopped mostly later. What a revelation. They have always said joints need movement but l find just the opposite. lt hurts! So that ends my little exercise routine. l may still go to the pool but no more exercise. Just paddle around and enjoy.

Finally, I think we're past winter, doncha know? I called my friends who stay away during the winter, and gave them the all-clear, that it was safe to come back now. At least as far as weather is concerned. I didn't know about their loud disruptive neighbors that she was dreading coming back to. But she said they'd heard that those neighbors were gone. They're coming back to town next week. Yay.

I suppose now I have to start thinking about potting. Haven't cleaned up the old ones from last year yet, nor bought new ones. They had them out at Whole Foods last night when I was there, but I think I can get them cheaper from the Wedge. Actually, I don't like the work involved with gardening, as it is hard for me physically, but I do it because I like to eat the results.

Do you have a yard where you garden, or a plot in a community garden?

MadDog, Yep, your shipment must have fallen off the truck. lol

Hi again: dg l had a lovely Mother's Day....but when my housekeeper wished me a happy Mother's day l said "l don't get that, l am not your mother so why do you among many others wish each other a Happy Mothers Day?" Does anyone know how that all started.? To me my Mother is gone, so l have no one to wish a Happy Mothers Day anymore. No biggie just wondered. l thought it was to honor YOUR mother. Now it's any mother or any woman even.??
Oh l go along with it and wished my sister by email a happy mothers day.

In the Weather Talk thread DI hit the nail on the head with this question:

"Wonder if this is the shortest period between a Winter Storm Warning and a Heat Advisory?"

DG, you got me! I took you seriously and thought animals were trapped in the ice up at Mille Lacs. LOL! Perhaps that ice moved faster. Or the animals had no where to go to. Like the people caught in the water tsunami, or, or, or . . . Gee, I don't know, I wasn't there. ;)

Ready for more of Mother Nature's roller coaster mood swings? 90ยบ tomorrow (Tue). Or maybe by the time you read this it might be over, and headed back down again.

db, A very busy day. :)

Coal Man, What a great Mothers Day gift for your wife. :)

goldieolds, I was speaking of the last Ice Age so probably the animals were wooly mammoths, dinosaurs, etc. :)
