<p>Me too, momusic. I hadn’t been getting them at all for days and then I got 100 last night… Has someone from Tech been living it up in the Alley?</p>
<p>I only got 21, and they came this morning. I must be on a waiting list or something… :(</p>
<p>I was inundated by emails from CC as well - and to both my old email address and to my new email address (changed on cc after I moved so I really don’t know why the CC emails would go to my old email as well). ah well. maybe its time I stopped by SA to celebrate the move - the title company finally paid up after holding on to my money for more than a month after title was transferred. I’m here, in my new home (not a craftsman, but enough room for me to have an office, an art room & a workspace in the garage). Iris are blooming. I’m busy writing and working on art. A mimosa for me this morning please.</p>
<p>…and a bottle of champagne to crack on the porch of your new house! :D</p>
<p>congratulations, oaklandmom!</p>
<p>This has been a looooooong journey for you. Irises and mimosas all around!</p>
<p>Hey, do I win something? Maybe a mimosa? (Would really just wish for a decision out of dearest darling daughter) I got 318 CC emails this morning!</p>
<p>The minosas are on the house this morning in honor of Oaklandmom’s real estate adventures, Denise, but we will add an umbrella to yours!</p>
<p>AAAHhhhhhh, make the emails stoooooopppppp !!! Cyberspace must have had a huge cyberdump today (and I mean that in the computer-speak way, not the bodily function way… though both do seem to apply equally) ;)</p>
<p>And here I thought I was special . . .</p>
<p>I haven’t visited this thread in ages…but after all the cc e-mails this morning, I thought I should stop by!</p>
<p>I guess I’m glad that I didn’t select to have CC email me!!! Anyway, congrats, Oaklandmom!!! I was thinking of you last week and wondered how things were going. You should get your pic on wikipedia under the heading of “real estate adventures from H*LL”…congrats on making it through the ordeal and having a great house to show for it!!!</p>
<p>Congrats to oaklandmom.</p>
<p>I got the emails too. Thought it was " expressions of interest" or early-writes about how much cc wants me. I also JUST changed computers (back to Mac;MacBook with bootcamp = WindowsPC and Mac all in one!), so naturally I think everything weird on the computer comes from that change.</p>
<p>I am heading over to do mixing duty. Serving up the following in honor of my new laptop and oaklandmom’s new digs. Take your pick! Or drink both, what do I care?</p>

<p>Oaklandmom, happy to hear you are finally settled in your new home.</p>
<p>How do you get CC e-mails. Maybe I don’t want to know . . .</p>
<p>Oakland mom, congrats on finally getting settled in.</p>
<p>Hmm, sniff, I got no emails from CC, guess I’ll drag myself back to the corner of SA with the other wallflowers</p>
<p>mstee and all other walflowers, when I first joined I got emails when there was a new post on ANY thread I had " subscribed" to! TMI! I don’t recall exactly, but I went to My Control Panel and changed up the settings/preferences. No more " subscribing" for me, and more importantly, only get emails when I get a PM. That, I like, in case someone is trying to reach me and I haven’t been on cc lately (AS IF!).</p>
<p>But, yeah, you probably don’t want to know ;).</p>
<p>But hey, if you want to feel popular… subscribe away!</p>
<p>Great news from Oaklandmom! I’ll join you in that celebratory drink.</p>
<p>I’ll be joining the rest of the wallflowers…</p>
<p>Congratulations Oaklandmom! I’ve quietly followed your housing highs and lows - and I’m happy to hear everything has finally worked out. Enjoy your new home.</p>
<p>Raising a glass of excellent local Syrah to Oaklandmom’s new digs…Sigh, I’m ready for some kind of change in my life but it doesn’t appear to be in the immediate future.<br>
That beam me up sounds good too! But in my case if I drank it, I would probably end up calling it, lay me down.</p>
<p>Oaklandmom! You go girl!</p>
<p>Let’s all get completely virtually plastered in honor of your news! We will virtually lie on the floor! We will babble incoherently! We will say, “I love you man!!!” to people we don’t even know. And all for you.</p>
<p>I am going to drink something with bubbles. Then when I start laughing at nothing because I am so virtually intoxicated all the bubbles will be snorted out my nose. Thereby proving that we have had a fabulous and well-deserved celebration for Oaklandmom.</p>
<p>I am right with you, Alumother!</p>
<p>Except I have been known to laugh at what others think is nothing, even without intoxicants.</p>
<p>I love you, man!</p>
