Blogging, for me, is more than a creativity exercise, but it is a personal journal to facilitate storytelling and a wide range of topics. What started about then years ago at the diagnosis (DX) of my cancer (mantle cell lymphoma or MCL) has evolved to include a family of blogs and sites using the synergy of the three URLs captioned under the photo above. #ALTACITIES Tweets Amazon XNG Shop by ALTA...

#SocialCurrentSee ®▶ #FHAnswers * ( #ALTACITIES archive by @ALTALOMAN · @Storify https://t.co/r1Ra0pjzY2 — Mike Foxworth (@ALTALOMAN) May 23, 2016 First-time condominium buyers soon discover the potential complications of their purchases, as partially explained in the following  #SocialCurrentSee . As the owner of a condo in a Southern California Inland Empire community of Trilogy Glen Ivy (south of Corona) we are personally familiar with these complications, but also the advantages of living in a condo with regard to maintenance, amenities, and affordability for what is generally a pricey marketplace for all real estate. Within our community of some 1317 residents who are required to be 55+, there is a known interest in the subject of reverse mortgages, but that option is not currently available for the some 180+ condominium owners because the community is not FHA-certified.  For that reason, the preface archive (see tweet above) may be timely, indeed.

If you have never been to  Trilogy , you would not know that the community of 1317 homes includes what is known as a Special Benefit Area (SBA), the Cobblestone Canyon subdivision of 170 condos that are uniquely built as two-unit pods (see inset photo).  That is the homes have upper and lower units, only two homeowners per dwelling. Word is that this community, finished about ten years ago by Shea Homes , is one of only about six such co...

The proximity of these locations is important concerning deliveries, as in those by the USPS.  Our community of 1317 homeowners is served centrally by a common post office which can nicely handle envelopes and small packages, but larger items require home address delivery.  And since I am now tracking a package for delivery tomorrow, the topic is top of mind.  ...

The bottom line, according to real court officials, is that nobody legitimate is going to call you and demand immediate payment for something like not showing up for jury duty. A bonafide officer of the court will never threaten an individual or demand the immediate payment – either over the telephone or money wire service – for fines or for not responding to a jury summons.
