Asset Rich and "Old"- a guide to Dirty Conservatorships/Guardians
Comments (5)>>"...because we all have to watch out that any government group just does not step in and take over...">> No GOVERNMENT group is trying to do this. It is unscrupulous individuals who take advantage of outright fraud or use specific legal loopholes to deprive an elderly person of their assets. The link below lists several cases where fraud and financial elder abuse was successfully prosecuted BY those government groups on behalf of victimized seniors. My MIL could easily have been one of these people. She is naive, financially unsophisticated, and suffers from MCI (Mild Cognitive Decline). A sympathetic, earnest, friendly con artist could snowball her in the proverbial blink of an eye. And frankly - 90% of her widowed friends are just as vulnerable. At least 50% of them have no children or lack family living close by. One of her friends has a $4M estate and absolutely no one in the US to help her make decisions. Her nearest relative lives in Scotland! Here is a link that might be useful: Archive: California Real Estate Fraud Report...See MoreMy quick-and-dirty hall bath facelift
Comments (28)I think the stool should be the color of that yellow car on the shelf. That would be the perfect 'pop' (sorry, I couldn't resist!). I have the same shower curtain, but mine seems to have more taupe in it. I love it too, we painted our bedroom gray, and the en suite is a creamy vanilla, so I wanted to bring some of that gray in there, it worked perfectly. I would like to see a rustic floor cover, a small rug...even a wooden door mat, to bring the wood on the walls to the floor. I cannot find a picture of the type I was thinking of, it was wooden slats with a twill binding, but I did google some wooden door mats and found some neat ones....See MoreHow do I connect to gardenweb instead of Houzz?
Comments (9)I think dadoes is on to something. Are you sure you're logged into Houzz/Gardenweb in your Linux Firefox? BTW... (this may not interest you but... just in case) I sync too but probably the other direction. I sync Linux bookmarks etc. to Windows since Linux is my main OS. I also sync to my bedroom computer. I don't use Firefox Sync though (not saying there's anything wrong with it), I just copy the relevant files. They're in your active profile folder which is easily found by going through "Help"->"Troubleshooting Information". (Profile Directory -> Open Directory) "Bookmarks" are stored in "places.sqlite" "Cookies" are stored in "cookies.sqlite" To sync/copy "Passwords" you need two files: "key4.db" and "logins.json" (they're stored in logins.json but they're encrypted so Firefox needs the associated key4.db to use them) (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data) I usually sync all the profile files, at least the first time. That way I get any other changes I've made. (using about:config, userchrome.css, etc.) ---------------------------------------- I also stay logged in. Secure? Enough for me. Convenient? Yes. Edited to add: To confirm, I just logged out then came back to this thread where I clicked the gardenweb link in the OP. I was redirected to houzz. To get back on gardenweb, I had to log back in. I suspect the techs would love, love, love to convert gardenweb pages to houzz so they would only have to make changes one place instead of two. (houzz pages are styled differently so when they make a tweak to the houzz version, they have to turn around and make the same change, a bit differently, to the gardenweb page) Personally, I prefer gardenweb so I'd rather they convert houzz pages to gardenweb pages but... that's not going to happen. :)...See MoreHouzz topics, where?
Comments (10)Richard, thanks but I can't see these few discussion forums that I have been following. I had to go back to browsing history and pick them up. Jasdip, I agree that they are pretty obscure. I can't remember just what I linked to in the menu that linked to those such as this one. It appears to be gone. I tried them all. If not for my browsing history I was ready to just delete and forget it. Then, I just deleted and rejoined. Do you think that maybe Houzz is not encouraging discussion that do not lead to buying stuff? Honestly, I am not in the market for anything. No one is going to profit from my yammering on on these topics. Do you think maybe that is so, or am I missing something? I seem to recall clicking on something like "home forum" or some such as that. I do remember that it was a somewhat obscure link before....See More- 5 years ago
