What does "Move-in Ready" Mean to You?
Comments (22)Brickeyee, that's why we'll be stating: Major Appliances Convey. The 3/4-size convection oven, small microwave, apartment-size refrigerator, and Kureg coffee brewer aren't part of the appliances dealio. Really don't know if anyone would want the furnishings. They're old...very old and, ehem, out-dated, yeah, that's the term. Who would want old stuff from the old world... Eeeeeew, it's probably, at least, three-hundred years out-dated! KirkHall, interesting about shades/draperies/curtains. I can understand bracketing & rods as they are more permanent fixtures. The textiles...not so much. Then again, I change window treatments quarterly, for the refreshing seasonal atmosphere it brings to rooms. Wonder if shoji screens are considered part & parcel, too. Since painting & repairing, all of the windows are bare. I'm using shoji screens instead (woohoo for double-hung windows *grin*). It's hard figuring out just what potential Buyers are accustomed to. Being a govt/military town it's a game to guess with people from all over the world filtering through. Discussions like this are very helpful =)....See Morewhat does "ready for paint" mean to you?
Comments (8)Casey, Great points, especially about uncraftmanlike work. That's hitting the nail on the head. As it turns out, the other guy had a bid for the painting, too, but didn't get that part so... As a side note, he is installing light-duty, pre-made floating shelves (purchased from target or somewhere) to support a mini stereo system & speakers, CD.'s, etc. I already gave my thoughts to the homeowner and now get to wait and see how well it all turns out....See MoreYou look healthy! What does it mean to you?
Comments (29)Since your not a youngster or middle age,, maybe knocking on the senior door, I would say that your looking healthy is a compliment. I agree with Toni. Now if you were 20 years old, it may have meant something entirely different. I lost about 50 lbs once and someone who barely knew me came up and said "Oh my gosh, you look so different... your butt used to be so much bigger..". I'm pretty sure she later wished she hadn't complimented me quite that way....See MoreDoes no one understand what "appropriately dressed" means anymore?
Comments (131)Boils down to a belief that one's own personal preferences should rule others. I don't agree, although I will say that seems to have become an almost reflexive response in our nation to an opposing opinion. But with this one (and speaking as a former hippie chick who scandalously wore jeans to church in 1970) I think it boils down to the customs and traditions that have, in the past, bound societies together, by showing respect for the occasion and each other. Really, when it comes down to it, why have a funeral at all? If you don't feel there is a religious imperative, why waste the money and time, much less be clean and dressed more than schlepping -to- the- grocery -store casually? What purpose does it serve? "the essential or characteristic customs and conventions of a community" Don't read snobbery into what I am saying. In my aunt & uncle's small farming community 40 years ago, to come to the visitation and funeral in spotless clean and pressed shirt and jeans would have been understood as one's best, and that was fine. I myself generally never wear a skirt, dress or heels, but I will wear dress slacks, and a professional looking top and jacket. If my foot is acting up, I have a pair of all black athletic shoes that my orthotics fit into that aren't obvious. My feeling is that many customs and traditions have eroded in many instances to the point of being non-existent. When we travel or read about other nations and cultures, we usually think of their custom and traditions as charming, worthy of respect, of value and deserving of preservation, (well sure I can name some that are totally not, let's not go there) and yet, here in America, we seem to take the opposite view....See Morewilliamsem
