Happy Birthday Moog!!

Love those pics!! Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

Kinda funny how when you blame it on the dog, everyone that's around assumes it was YOU that really pulled the trigger too! SHEESH.... I'll own up to it when it's me!

Happy Birthday Culver!! Enjoy!!

WOW! Now that's a deal steal!! We couldn't be lucky enough to come across something like that! I just spoke to another realtor. No dice. He said that same thing that everyone else has said. Apartments are few and far between. They go so fast that people don't need the assistance of a realtor. ​​ A little north of Naples would be better (and more convenient to GF college and home) than south. I started looking in Bristol and Honeoye. A couple more options and 30-35 min from his work.

Honestly, I've never been to Wayland, but I've heard stories about the place and was discouraged from looking there. Yeah, lots in Canandaigua, but that would put him 45+min from work. Not that far, but by the time you factor in gas in his Tundra... $$. I'll try a different route going to Naples next week and go down from Canandaigua on Rt. 21. Maybe I can come across something along Rt. 21 that we haven't thought of yet.

He's 21 and just starting the job, so I don't think he's ready to buy anything at this point. A realtor that I spoke to yesterday asked about the possibility of purchasing also. Don't think he's ready for that commitment and responsibility yet. His job is 10-12 miles south(ish) of Naples. We drove through area towns yesterday, but none appear as nice as Naples, or don't have stores, etc...His girlfriend would probably be staying with him and Naples would be within a decent commute for her college also. Plus, Naples would put him in the direction of home too. No pets either. Someone suggested the Naples Community Facebook page. He tried that and asked for access, but the admin denied him, because it's only for residents! Ummm, he's trying to become a resident! LOL He tried explaining to the admin that he was looking for an apartment in Naples and would like to post an ad, but the admin completely blocked him! Welcome to Naples, a friendly little village?? ​ I'll probably do some more research and take another roadtrip down there next week. Hopefully I can get lucky and catch someone hanging a "Apartment For Rent" sign. LOL

I realize this is probably a complete shot in the dark, but I gotta try. My son is moving back to NY in 2-3 weeks and wants to find an apartment in Naples. Considering this is a dinky, yet beautiful, pretty remote town, I am told by everyone (village & town clerks, store owners, realtors, rental property owners, etc...) that I've talked to down there said that apartments are snatched up as soon as they become available. They are few and far between! I've spent the past 2 days down there talking to locals, calling rental owners, driving every street looking for signs, checking out public bulletin boards, local papers, etc... with no luck. I've also done the usual with searching online, craigslist, local papers, etc... with no luck. We found 1 to look at, but it was so incredibly small 300-400sqft that it there's no way it could have worked. Never could have gotten any of his furniture in there. We drove around to the surrounding towns, but he really wants Naples, due to it's proximity to his new job and home. Thought I would give it a shot and ask if anyone on here might either be from Naples or know anyone in Naples that might either have a rental or could put me in contact with someone that might? Feel free to PM me! Thanks!

Happy Birthday! The sun is shining, so I hope you can out there and enjoy it today!

Great bird! Congrats!

Great pics! He's just chillin'... or as close to it as he can get in 90 degree temps! LOL

Happy Birthday big guy!!

Geez, Paula! When I first read the title, I thought you had some "BIG news" to share with us! LOL

Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had great day with friends!

Holy Hell! Good luck with that one Culver! That's what you get for having a smart kid I guess...

Pretty sure that's Myrtle. (The plants, NOT the fawn! ) http://home.howstuffworks.com/periwinkle-myrtle.htm I have one area out in the hardwoods where there's a few large patches of it. Must be pretty shade tolerant. It stays that dark lush green color all year long. I've never seen any deer or turkey eat it or noticed any sign of browse on it. Guess it's just for looks! LOL Awesome pics of the fawn!! Brightened my day to see those pics!

Sorry for your loss. Damn that cancer...

Hessney Auctions in Geneva (~5min off thruway) is having a gun auction on June 11th. They have them every couple of months, if this is too soon. You can drop the guns off there and they will do everything for you. I've sold through them before and have been satisfied with the amount that I've gotten back. http://hessney.com/auctions/?az_feed_pos=www.auctionzip.com%2Fcgi-bin%2Fauctionview.cgi%3Flid%3D2705433%26feed%3D129%26group%3D0%26state%3D%26kwd%3D%26zip%3D%26category%3D0%26nojava%3D0 Sorry for your loss.

Bringing back bad memories! Dealt with that system 3 years ago for my son, and will have to go through it next year for my daughter.... UGH.... Have a shot or two to calm the nerves...

Spent last week in the Bahamas and got home last night. Was sweating my cahones off (near 90 all week) ! Today, I mowed my yard while it was snowing!

Congrats on your bird zeus!!

No time for that this week. Scrambling to get things (having professional resume service to polish up the resume, unemployment questions, job searching, etc...) squared away. Guess I'll be clearing my head next week though. I previously booked a cruise for my 25 year wedding anniversary next week, so I'll be leaving for the Bahamas on Sunday for a week. Can't get my $ back for that, so we gotta go. THANK GOD I sprang for the "Cheers Beverage Package"!!! I have a feeling I'll be getting my moneys worth out of that.... I'll have PLENTY of time to worry and stress out when I get back.....

Great info and suggestions robw!! I've been planning on creating a LinkedIn profile for years, but just haven't done it yet. Looks and sounds confusing (Do this, don't do that, recruiters, etc...), so I've been procrastinating. Sounds like I gotta get it done though! I started looking at LinkedIn related books to order to help me out. After seeing your comments, I started looking into having my resume professionally done also. I've had good feedback on my resume in the past, but considering my situation, I need it polished up. Going to make a couple calls today to inquire about resume services. I've been checking out the job sites that you mentioned, but didn't consider posting my resume on there. I will get that done also! Thanks again! I'm off to call an attorney to review my severance offer... Fun, fun...

Congrats on a dandy bird! That was one quick hunt! LOL
