My dad is nearly 82 and his dad lived to be 101. My dad says he'll feel cheated if he doesn't live that long, too, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I’m like legit worried she’s dead or in some sort of strife. I just left her a
“hope you are okay” and “if you need help with this” voicemail, the latter of which is against my MO as I don’t want to take everything HOA on, but this is just ridiculous and I’m sick of the other owners asking me for updates. I fully assume I will again hear nothing back.

I also reached out to our HOA lawyer to see if they had any drafts of the letters, since our VP spoke with them on this and racked up hundreds of dollars of legal fees months ago. They have nothing either. I’m guessing the letters do not exist at all at the time of this post, and I will be drafting and delivering them in the near future.

You volunteered for this, right?
