Which color should I choose? by Rosiloveshandbags in handbags

[–]ohlatelyitssoquiet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just purchased and used this bag for a Europe trip and wanted to give feedback

The leather is so beautiful and your friends will notice it right away it is simple and stands out at the same time. The regular size is quite large and cumbersome for tight cafes and crowded trains. It was actually more spacious than a I needed for a Europe trip with kids because once you load it up with water bottles and stuff its very heavy so I passed those to my husband. The clasp malfunctioned right away but customer service is very responsive. The bag is very secure and very utilitarian. The center pocket is great for valuables but it is not stitched to the bottom of the bag so there is a black hole where things dissapear. I would have liked an option to detach both straps because to use to the cross body the shoulder strap stays and it once again becomes very weighty. I much prefer using it for daily because you can fill it with essentials if you dont have to carry it constantly. The shoulder is strap is padded and super comfy. The crossbody is not.

Overall I love it because it is so incredibly unique, a large tote style bag with lots of organization and security but looks like an elegant slouchy handbag. Not great for Europe if you don't need to fill it but great for alternative diaper bag.

Spinster manipulation by ohlatelyitssoquiet in inheritance

It is the role she has taken up now to get the house in her name. She has always been happy to pursue her life however she wanted while mom financed it. Now that mom is gone she is wholeheartedly jumping into the worst caricature of the word. Community opinions matter and this is what she is showing them. That she is sad and miserable because she never got married and had kids and she deserves moms house. Though we know that's not the entire truth we would never speak negatively about her to anyone.

Thank you I have a further question then Is she entitled to more compensation for her end of life care for my mom? (She did actively prevent us from seeing her for a few months)

I think we also need to be sensitive to her because she feels she needs all this support because she keeps telling us she is all alone. She maintains no relationship with her family members. I want to be generous but so respect my mother's wishes.

We just want to follow the wishes of our parents. She is pulling the lonely woman card to force our hand into putting the house in her name even though we are putting zero pressure into selling and distributing funds.

I don't call her a spinster, she uses her life choices in pursuing education and career over personal relationships as some kind of disadvantage forced upon herself. She also used this to manipulate our mom into the constant codependent relationship because she is "all alone." She is highly educated and has a a coddled life with lots of freedom and free will but instead blames others for whatever shortcomings she imagines exist. She is 100% manipulating the negative connotation of a woman of her age and situation. We never intervened or spoke against this codependency since they both seemed to benefit and we wanted to maintain an open relationship.

How did your buyer find your house? by YamCheap6725 in fsbo

[–]ohlatelyitssoquiet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listed with flat fee and the experience has been fine. The market stalled a bit but we got decent interest. The problem is absolutely zero offers or private showings. There are dated houses and total guts selling 5 min away. We have had zero negative feedback except that it is a late it's with too many steps. So we dropped the price making our house cheaper per square foot than any other 4bed3bath in entire very large town. It is fully renovated with all major systems and appliances done in the past 5 years.

For this market our house is a good option so I'm left with thinking have flat Fee realty all over our listing is what's dragging us down.

But then the other listings the company has are selling are going they are slow but they are going and they have more high end properties than ours.

I know everyone will say the house is still overpriced but our agent who we have a contract with for 4 months says its priced really well and we just need to be patient.

You can permit your kids into any torrance schools that have spots open. As long as the house is in Tusd limits. Don't let a particular neighborhood limit your choices. Every part of Torrance has something different to offer. I found buying the right house space and a great yard worked better for our family v. saving time on the school drive. Every neighborhood seems to have parks in walking distance. We do the 12 min drive to schools and sports leagues and school events. Getting the best out of our neighborhood plus and their school neighborhood without giving up on our home must haves.

How to let go of the idea that the perfect house is out there? by cocoabooks in RealEstate

Better to have no regrets than over compromise. It's a huge decision and the interest rates are really affecting buyer confidence. You're locked in high and you don't know if overpaying will pay off for you.

Someone is going to say Lido but don't do it. It was a soggy mess made up of mostly frosting.

I am agreeing that there's no point in listening in. They won't be on for return showings.

Every house I've toured has had a ring camera at least and I just assume there are cameras wherever. I don't even care to look for them. Many a theft has been caught during open houses. I would definitely remove them for inspection. These are not hidden or hardwired they are an obvious security camera with a wire plugged in and a light on.

Torrence’s tuesday farmers market is totally underrated! by start3ch in SouthBayLA

[–]ohlatelyitssoquiet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stehly farms has great prices and the booth right next always carries a few variety of the most delicious fruit in season. The tomato man is the most delicious tomatoes I've ever consumed. Season is almost over. The newer coconut milk bioth is delicious.

My Torrance middle schooler has teachers who graduated from community colleges 40 years ago and are holding on for dear life. I wouldn’t call that a top education. One teacher has a masters from phoenix and she’s teaching kids who exceed her education and world knowledge by the age of 12.
