Tony Clark

Rental Note: I was given keys to look at two properties today. They were listed on Tony Clark’s web site as available rentals. Upon pulling up to the first, and opening the door I found that it was still occupied. I shut and locked the door before I called Tony Clark’s office. The lady who answered my call said that that property was only to be shown by appointment. So I asked why I was given a key. To this I was told that they were very busy and then she hung up on me. I called back! 

I then spoke to a woman who was as shocked as I was that this had happened, but could not help me because she was in accounting, and I would need to bring that key back. My boyfriend called Tony Clark’s office to express his thoughts on the fact that if I had entered an occupied home I may have been shot. To this they apologized, but again said that they were busy and the woman at the front desk was new. I took the keys back and was met at the door by Tony Clark, whom invited me into a leasing office and closed the door. He said he agreed that this should have never happened. Then Dee, a leasing agent,  came in to get paperwork for another client. I expressed my view of the shoddy management and said this is the reason for so much negative social media. I stated that as a former Realtor this is an error that is taboo, for the safety of the current tenant and future tenants. Dee said that they apologized and are sure that I had done things in my past that were like this or worse. I had never met this woman until she sat across the desk from me moments earlier. I had not put blame on individuals, but on the management team as a whole. Yet I was being treated as though by bringing this code of conduct issue up I was to blame. Tony Clark asked what more he could do to appease me, “a years free rent?” he said. At that point, I said “Nothing”. He handed me his card and he said he hoped I would change my mind. When my boyfriend called back to speak to Mr Clark, Dee told him that I was not welcome in their establishment nor would they rent to me Because I threatened them with airing this on social media! Not because this wrong had been done. 

I feel badly for the tenant who resides at the house that I was given the key too and for the upstanding employees at Tony Clark Realty. But the rental management is very poor; from the information they put online, to the service they give. I will never recommend Tony Clark’s 

Establishment. They leave a dirty spot on Owensboro.

HERO

Watching the Kentucky Houston game tonight.
As I watch these young men, and any one for that matter,
who plays basket ball as part of a team,
I am always so disappointed in their ability to make consecutive free throws.
Just the kicker in foot ball....
You Have One Job!
Make the points!
But wait! Kentucky’s Tyler Herro hasn’t missed a free throw since Christmas!
Not by luck, but by practice!
As I have said for years, practice makes perfect!
Bravo

I spoke too soon
Maybe I jinxed him
So sad

Lick’s

There is a ice cream shop here in the area called Lick’s. My mind tends to wonder when ever someone says Lick’s. Makes me grin and giggle. 

Tonight we stopped in, my first time. We got Choc-o-Creams. They are a little scoop of ice cream, cookie dough scoop size dipped in chocolate. This thing is amazing! 

Butter pecan! Ice cream love!

Wisdom on 161

I drive to work on highway 161 occasionally.
There is a farm with a pond on the way.
This farm has several acres of rolling green hills,
and on those hills there are lots of fat happy cows.
In the past few months I have seen quite a few calves as well.
Among the happy cows there are three gray donkeys.
They look a bit out of place to me.
When I think donkeys...
I think of taking that trek down into the Grand Canyon.
But here in Indiana I know that a smart farmer has
donkeys on his pastures to keep the coyote at bay.
Those fat happy cows wont fight off a hungry coyote
but a donkey will kick the you know what out of one.
So those sweet docile donkeys are the bovines security and best friend.
Today as I drove past the rolling hills, I didn't see any cows.
Not one. No big or small grass munchers.
However, there were the three donkeys,
walking in a row at the edge of the pond.
They looked wise and purposeful.
Happy Day

Betty

My neighbor Betty stopped over today. She heard from another neighbor that I’m planning on moving and she wanted to see if it was true. We caught up on things in the neighborhood, the cost of electricity and living alone. We chatted about several topics and then she went home to visit with her family who stopped by. I have been blessed to have these friendly golden nuggets in my life.
Note to self....BE THE GOLDEN NUGGET for others!

Thoughts to Ponder

*If poison is past ts expiry date, is it more poisonous or is it no longer poisonous?
*Which letter is silent in the word "Sent," the S or the C?
*Maybe oxygen is slowly killing you and it just takes 75-100 years to fully work.
*Every time you clean something, you just make something else dirty.
*The word "SWIMS" upside-down is still "SWIMS".
