A few weeks ago I posted my FAIL chocolate syrup bottle. Yesterday I went to the store and bought another bottle and it was marked as 10% calcium rather than 0%. I wonder if they changed their formula or if their packaging was a misprint. The +Calcium product has been around since 2003 I think, so unless they had a recent packaging redesign I really wonder what happened with my last bottle of the stuff. The font was aligned in a manner which would not have allowed for a misprint where the 1 just wasn't there. I'm almost sad I threw it in the recycle already 
Oh well, it isn't that important but just curious.
In other news, moving forward on the pimp house. I'm actually going to be changing more around than I thought. Because part of the house is subterranean, we have run into a water seepage problem. The house will need to be excavated, I'm going to lose a bunch of beautiful landscape and it needs to be resealed and then the hillside needs to be put back. This is a fairly expensive repair. And by fairly expensive, I mean REALLY expensive. We had to adjust our offer. Since all of the interior which is underground is affected. I'm going to have to redo all of it because it isn't like I can get the retro stuff to re do it as is. Sooooo.....
I've been going crazy meeting contractors and the bank and everyone else trying to make this work. I met the neighbors next door. They are very nice. I've met a lot of other people walking by but they are not neighbors. Our house is on a popular nature preserve/hiking area so lots of people hike past it but actually drove in from someplace else and hike the neighborhood because it is pretty and then go up through the preserve.
While we were mapping the water lines, whatever the tools are the guy was using must have done something which drove the snakes in the yard crazy because several little ground snakes appeared.
We also discovered a big female chuckwalla living in some of the rock/boulders in the front yard.
I guess the benefit and the drawback of bordering a nature preserve is that you get a lot of nature. That is a blessing when it is cool stuff like birds and groundsnakes and chuckwallas but not so much when it is the bees nest living in the retaining wall, rattle snakes and scorpions. I am trying to find more information on the rattlesnake vaccine for dogs. Otherwise I might look into finding an aversion trainer.
