I have to agree as well. I used to go to the other incarnation a lot. Personally I think that with the effort to “improve” the site it took a large step backwards. Not user friendly (my opinion), Too much advertising, not enough interaction. Trying to “bring it up to date” actually rendered it a bit more useless. I no longer even have it…[Read more]

I wasn’t even aware there was going to be a new site.. I started getting all kinds of emails about old posts.. I thought something was spamming me so I unsubscibed… had no clue until I tried to log in and there was an error.. Good thing there was a “or go to”..

I disagree with you on this one Doc.. there is a law against the robocalls.. it should be obeyed.. and we have a right to complain when it is not.. it is an invasion of our private time. newmom is right, the “Do Not Call List” is there for a reason. the law against robocalls is as well. If one…[Read more]

Doc.. coulda done great things to that Tesla of yours for the parade.. Would have been a place for me to use some unused “stuff” ha ha..

My kids and my husband both asked separately on the day you posted if you were doing your lights this year. You’ve made an impact on lots of people in town and your lights have become a destination.

Thank you Newmom…. I do understand. You have no idea how heavy my heart is without our sharing this year with the thousands…[Read more]

Next year if all goes well, I would love to do another Elk Grove forum preview if there is enough interest. That was a lot of fun last year.

As for behind the scenes Gearshark23, contact me again about Thanksgiving next year and we can set up something.

Oh man, I forgot. 🙁 Its not going to be the same……..

No, it is not going to be the same for sure. I personally will miss connecting with so many people that come by. I gave out thousands of candies last year while talking to those that came to visit. Everything from very young kids, to teenagers, to adults that…[Read more]

They got off to kind of a slow start. I think they had some problems with the staff and seemed to have fixed them. I have seen and heard mixed reviews. Some love it and some just think it’s okay. The restaurant business is tough. That’s one business I would never want a part of.

I ran a couple of my dad’s restaurants long…[Read more]

I remember back in the day when Cassidys first opened .. We ate there a few times.. The food was delicious and service was great..

Ya, well my gripe is a little more basic. When a candidate, in this case Carmine Forcina, places his signs on private property without asking permission, and blocking our leasing signs, that tells me that person has no respect for community interests. It’s funny–I’ve been patrolling signs for 30 years or so and not once, never,…

It might be elitist, but it’s also reality. Most people want to live in an area where the houses and yards are taken care of, look nice, and maintained, etc. Poorly maintained houses and yards are not attractive looking and bring down the neighborhood. Not only in terms of visual blight but actual property values.
As for…

I find this point of view to be extremely elitist, and unhelpful. Let’s just put them on an island!

Why? it is accurate.. call it what it is.. what is helpful about lying or sugar coating it? If it is a run down piece of crap neighborhood, than it is what it is.. nothing elitist about what they said… truthful does not…[Read more]

That’s funny. I got a call this afternoon for an Assembly candidate. I interrupted the caller to tell him yes I was going to vote for him, marginal a candidate as he is, and only because he’s the Republican, not because he’s any good, and to not call me again. The poor guy had no response and ended with”uh, well, thank you…

I found it interesting reading… I also think Spease is by far the better candidate, robocalls not with standing of course.

Different priorities for different types and sophistication levels of buyers, I guess. I have absolutely no problem with a double ending agent.

Thank you all for the input.. time to start looking around.. I will give some of these a try

Funny you bring that up. When we first moved to EG in ’87 I wanted to build a home. I found an agent that I thought I would like. She was with Lyons at that time. I made an agreement with her that if she found us a property and recommended a builder we liked, I would pay her commission and not the seller or the contractor. I wanted her to…[Read more]

I don’t think there’s a loophole. Here’s the California Public Utility Code for the topic.

It is my understanding, and this is several years old now, that certain states (like Nevada) do not have the same restrictions and if those calls are originated in states where they are legal then CA has no jurisdiction. Info not guaranteed…

I don’t expect they would blatantly pick and chose with laws they are going to obey.. that should tell you something about the candidate and his or her level of respect for the law.

This particular law I am talking about is not up for a vote. It is law NOW and has been for years. If the candidates do not respect the law and follow it, how could…[Read more]
