Hi, renting in Southern AZ until I could find a builder and get a new home built. Well, I jumped the gun because my rental is a termite and rodent infested home (byproduct of a desert dwelling) especially if the landlord doesn’t give a care. My new home is already complete. I was going to offer a lump sum to pay off my contract. 6 months lump sum. Any advice? Should I write a forms
offer to pay off my contract with payoff amount? get it notarized? I’m clueless here, please advise.

List the best one day round trip experiences you recommend departing from the greater Tucson area. Views, arts, history, hikes,…any and all! Bring it. Thank you!

My sibling and I were close when we were younger, then when my sibling was 18, they went on their way into the world to persue happiness and live in their true lifestyle. We lost touch for a decade or so. By the time we get back in touch they are so guarded, cautious, not even being real in my opinion. There’s a lot of drama - it’s hard not to notice, but it’s kept from me. I get filtered information and filtered emotions and speech. How do I not take this personally? Is this just a live and let live thing?

Okay, I’m going to treat myself tomorrow, I’m normally organic at home, but allow myself to splurge when it comes to a fantastic brunch or lunch. Where’s a place that is comfy for one to dine?

Please make your best case against microwave ovens. Lay it on me. I’m moving into a new home that does not have a built in and I’m thinking this is a sign to stop nuking my food! am I right?

Hello Tucson! In Rio Rico, the storm has the same path as yesterday. Woohoo! Beautiful and eventful skies hopefully headed your way!!

I got a letter explaining that they need three months of unpaid before they start deducting monthly. This is ludicrous. I cannot afford quarterly, the chunk is over 1500! How are we all to survive through this IRMAA madness? I know I can’t.

Trying to choose patio furniture. What is the most durable type of material that will survive in Arizona? I’ve got a 6’ x 20’ stretch with rolling screens. This side faces south.

Can anyone offer some advice or daily practice to overcome this incredible guilt I feel? It seems that I regret almost everything I do or say lately.

Tucson cat people! My cat has HES. She got this after a bad dental cleaning in OV. The anesthesia wore off and there we were. Everyone knows this condition advanced over time. My Vet has recently gotten ‘testy’ over my requesting my cat’s meds. Tucson or south preferred.

The East Bay Open Studio is this weekend! Come look at the incredible talent that the East Bay has to offer. They are working very hard to make the tour worth your trip. Look up eastbayopenstudios.com

I just paid someone to put screens in all my vents, but he missed one and I found a baby scorpion my bathroom this morning. Besides screens in vents, what are some good ways to keep these little creatures OUT of our homes?

Kitchen sink is smelling a bit gamey this morning. Is there anything I can use to clean the drain safely, like enzymes? What is recommended?

For whatever reasons I was never much of a fan. But his doing an interview today about Kyle Busch in a Brexton Busch tee shirt was sublime. Team Elliott, count me in. Team Bexton, we look forward to supporting you when you are ready.

Alex Zanardi was a bigger than life competitor. F1, Cart and several other racing circuits. I had the pleasure of seeing him win back to back at the Long Beach Cart circuit. He celebrated the way he lived his life, flat out 100%, never hiding emotions or feelings. He was on this planet to win and go fast doing it! And when tragedy came, he reinvented (literally) himself and the ways he could still race. This man’s spirit rivals some of the greats that had to persevere throughout history. I hope teachers incorporate Alex Zanardi into their curriculum about his life and his accomplishments. He is one of the finest examples of the human spirit. My favorite spirit of all time.
