I decided to experiment on myself and was successful and able to walk again after 2-3 weeks of self treatment using diuretics and laying down and sleeping after 4pm to elevate my legs to help reduce the severe edema.

But there's a line between continually blowing happy elevator music up some wannabe's kilt and the reality of ACTUALLY SUCCEEDING with a career in REI.

The elevation of their house is about 10 feet above sea level.

eg. miniature horse, apartment is on the second floor, open slat steps, no elevator, you are asked to put in an elevator or redo the steps to accommodate a horse (ramp), but structurally there is no room for a ramp or elevator. 

However, truthfully, it appears you’ve used your post as a guised platform to elevate your angst because you’ve implied by your own words that Scott Trench is in a position of “power” that you need to “speak truth to” as you wrote; “I wasn’t going to ignore gender-biased language from a leader in the BP community, even if it was inadvertent, and even though it’s hard to speak truth to power.”

Cold call FRBO, FSBO, for sale cars on the street, go to garage sales, drive for dollars, Craigslist, (in my area) the Greensheet, touch 4-6 people with your elevator pitch and business card.

A local surveyor may be able to show the home elevation is actually above the floodplain.

The house was incredible, cool, 7 stories, elevator and I have seen the pool in many commercials/film etc..it's that lap pool that over looks L.A.

Hey everyone was wondering if anyone has every tried mailing hand written letters as an elevator pitch to potential private investors.
