Orlando Home Prices Drop | Beginning of the End?
Mickey charges more than ever, but he doesn’t pay all that well.
Dear Pay Dirt,
It seems to me like I bought a home at what was probably the peak of the market… Maybe even the same week it started to turn—when we didn’t realize it was turning from a seller’s to a buyer’s market. And, unfortunately, I don’t love the place (long story) and am not dying to be here for very long. The mortgage should be manageable if everything lines up but is higher than what would be truly comfortable.
What should I do, practically, to make sure it’s not a loss? And, more philosophically, how do I not obsess about the timing of this decision?
NO wonder FUSA is going down the tubes. Read the “expert’s” answer and just sit back and say “derp”. OMG. doomed

Human burial services in the U.S. are getting a green makeover as more states embrace human composting as an eco-friendly alternative to cremation and traditional casket burials. On Sunday, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 351 to establish regulatory practices for human composting in 2027, joining Washington, Colorado, Oregon and Vermont in legalizing the practice.
Human composting — also known as “natural organic reduction” — is much like it sounds, though the service is more complex and sterile than one might expect.
“Human composting is mimicking the process that’s happening all over the world on the forest floor, where you have sticks and leaves, your errant chipmunk and dead organic material all decomposing and creating topsoil,” said Katrina Spade, founder and CEO of Recompose, the first business to offer human compositing in the U.S. “The difference between that forest floor and human composting is that we lay a body into a vessel and we create a very highly controlled composting environment.”
Similar to a traditional burial, friends and family can attend a “laying-in” ceremony, where the deceased is placed into a steel vessel and buried in woodchips and other biodegradable materials. After 30 days, the remains transform into fertilized soil, which loved ones can donate to conservation lands or take home.
“It’s quite beautiful, actually,” Spade said, explaining that when a body is laid out before a ceremony, it’s covered with a simple linen cloth.
This is how the people who matter see us: we are just compost to them.
or soylent green.
I looked at a green burial for my mother 6.5 years ago. I only found one location in California but it wasn’t nearby, so I did the next best I could: no embalming and a beautiful wicker coffin with purple bands and handles draped with lavender, rosemary and white flowers. Shipping from the UK was less than the sales tax on a typical coffin. Even the mortuary commented on how unique and beautiful it was although they were initially concerned about its relatively small size.
Bones compost in 30 days?
That’s about as believable as Adam and Eve coming from dirt. And, I didn’t buy that when I was 4 years old.
I can tell you that they don’t, having lived on a farm. They can be sifted out though.
I knew the answer. 😉
You can turn Grandma into a Halloween display! Spooky!
I read that there is a scene in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland that had actual human bones. Not sure if that just a legend or what.

I haven’t heard that but nothing would surprise me these days. I’ll spare people what I’ve seen that’s likely real.
I also saw some creepy sh!t in Italy last time I was there.

CBS News insiders slammed the struggling network over its tone-deaf decision to cut short coverage of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in order to air episodes of “Let’s Make a Deal” and “The Price Is Right.”
Republican governors this week continued ramping up the controversial practice of sending migrants to Democratic states in a move critics are calling a political stunt. Arriving by bus and plane in Sacramento, California, dozens of migrant families, including children, were dropped off without any direction or assistance.
Aid workers said some migrants who walked from a Sacramento airport looking for shelter ended up sleeping in a park.
“Using people as political pawns to make a political point is wrong, and this is really an immoral thing for whoever is doing it to be doing,” Autumn Gonzalez, a volunteer with the nonprofit group NorCal Resist, told CBS News.
Outside, the Reverend Donnie Anderson, an activist who speaks frequently on gender issues, criticized the library and said it should offer children “a safe space.”
“My friends, there is a limit to free speech,” she said. “These are people who are recruiting people to believe not only that people like me are phony or don’t exist or are mentally ill, but they are recruiting people to be part of legislative efforts to make it more difficult for our children to realize who they are or be who they are. And the result of that is going to be that children are going to die.”
Inside, Solas shared her point of view on inclusive curricula in schools.
“Schools are planting seeds in children’s heads to lead them to (gender identity) surgery if they are brainwashed enough,” Solas told the 30 or so people inside the auditorium.
Elston railed against the media and called the trans movement and the organizations that support transgender individuals “a cult.”
“There is no right way to be a boy or girl, but kids who are gender-nonconforming are told they are trans,” he said. “People say that I am trying to erase transgender people existence. I say there is no such thing as a transgender child. There are boys, there are girls, and that’s it.”

‘including children’
But it’s OK to give children a death injection.
