@Mrfunkedude I don't know, but it's pushed out #Signum 's remix of #Delerium 's #Truly which had been there since Wednesday, so (kind of) yay.

@Mrfunkedude My orange cat Merry is the snuggliest, most playful boy. This morning during a meeting he brought me his ball to play with him, and when I wasn't able to pay attention to him, he started nuzzling and hugging my ankles and purring like a fiend.

He likes being held, he gives great hugs, and his fur is so plush...

@Mrfunkedude That seems to be how things are: one person carries the load until they absolutely can't any more, then they find a way to leave - because they know exactly how much money is being spent unwisely. Makes for lots of extra stress.

I finally sold my condo-cottage after 8 years on the board, and looked for a house in an HOA that didn't have much - if anything - to do in the neighborhood. (Tried looking for a house that wasn't in an HOA, and that's nearly impossible to find.)

@Mrfunkedude Yep, that's HOA boards. Though mostly it's burnout, because out of any given HOA, only 10-15% of folks (if that many) will even participate, and they often end up being the ONLY ones who participate. So pretty soon, they start to resent the folks who live in the neighborhood but don't participate but love to armchair-quarterback.

Things might briefly improve - for a while - when a new person moved in and ran for the board.

@Bam @Mrfunkedude A very nice way to end the week - with shared laughter!!

Made me laugh... (and no, they're not in a thread. I checked.)
