Timing is everything. . .or is it? Timing is one of the most common questions we get asked by clients or prospective clients.  Is there a good (or bad) time to put your home on the market?  How far in advance do we need to start getting ready if we want to put our home on the market?  How long will it take to sell my home?  How long does the contract process take before my house is closed with the new buyer?  We will answer these timing questions along with a few other tips that are centered around timing and selling your home.

Sista avsnittet på säsong 1 av Full rulle [LOADED WHEEEEEELS] – in English! 

This is a best of episode for our international fans. We talk ableism, the Swedish Corona strategy, profiting from your disability, employment, and the Netflix documentary Crip Camp. 

After this episode was made Tobias actually got a job, hence: no more identity crisis! (So did Emma, so no librarian studies after all.) And by the way: “folkhem” is NOT an English word! That’s just fake news.

Produced by Emma Åstrand and Tobias Holmberg. Financed by STIL; The Founders of Independent Living in Sweden. Music: Anders Åstrand. Sound: Tomas Bolin.

Full rulle är tillbaka! (Äntligen!) Det blev ett ofrivilligt avbrott över sommaren; allt för att normaterna ska få testa på det här med väntetid. 

I detta avsnitt djupdyker vi i om bland annat institutionen Eugeniahemmet och detta görs utifrån Karin Westlunds bok "Hon klarer sej allti". (Tack Karin!) Att bli tagen från sin familj och växa upp på en främmande plats lång hemifrån... eller bara livet före LSS. Tobias och Emma tillhör den första generationen som vuxit upp med personlig assistans, så denna episod behandlar i allra högsta grad nutidshistoria.

Slutligen pratar vi böcker och troll - och nej, Emma kommer inte namnge förlaget.

Today we are going to talk about an option that many of our clients are considering or have considered.  The option of downsizing their home either square footage wise or maintenance wise or both while still remaining home owners.  If you are considering purchasing a home or condo that is better suited for your needs now that the kids are grown and gone this is the episode for you.

Today my guest is Rocky Goins. He has rich development and construction experience ranging from commercial/retail, mix-use and senior living development. After serving his country as a Naval Officer in the Civil Engineer Corps/Seabees, Rocky developed multiple grocery store (Publix, Winn-Dixie and Kash-n-Karry) retail centers. With the Rouse company, Rocky enjoyed master-planning town centers, retail construction, and was the senior project manager for the Faneuil Hall Marketplace (Boston) renovation.

Rocky entered the Senior Living Industry in 2002, and advanced rapidly at Sunrise Senior Living until the recession stopped their entire development efforts. During the recession, Rocky worked with two major non-for-profit CCRC's with their development plans until he settled his family in Tulsa, OK with Senior Star/HCN to lead their expansion/renovation efforts.

Community minded, Rocky volunteers in leadership positions in several charities effectively advancing their initiatives.

Please join us today as we dive into his heart driving senior living development.

If you do elect to remain living in your home while your home is actively on the market this episode is for you. We will go through how to make a home show in it's best light through depersonalization and decluttering, freshening up paint and flooring if needed, exterior deferred maintenance, staging, and being "show time ready"

Funkofobi: fördomar mot personer med funktionsnedsättning.

Det är temat för Full rulles åttonde avsnitt. Vi snackar funkofobi som begrepp och kommer bland annat fram till att Tobias skryter för lite om att vara en av dem som myntade ordet så att det kom in i SAOL 2015. 

Avslutningsvis ger Emma ett brandtal till bra design på hjälpmedel. Mindre sjukhus, mera stil tack!

John Harbison is a prolific reader, writer and watcher of birds, a watcher of all things nature. He writes nearly every day, as he believes that writing is therapeutic and a way to capture his legacy for his daughters. In "Dancing on the Edge", he writes about a moment that shifted beneath him, a moment with the woman who would later become his wife: "I thought then, and I still do, that there is nothing more graceful and beautiful as a woman casting a fly rod; it's piscatorial ballet..."  

Vad är en identitet? Hur skapas en identitet? Vad har du för identitet? Det är tre frågor vi försöker besvara i det här avsnittet. Vi kommer fram till att medan Emma är kvinna, saknar Tobias identiteten av att vara man - All Hail the Patriarchy!

Avslutningsvis reser vi iväg på nya äventyr, eller snarare skaver era öron med allmänt skryt. Tobias röstar för att sova under öppen himmel i Barcelona, medan Emma - föga förvånande - trivs bäst i business class på väg till andra sidan Atlanten.

Writer Judith Conn shares her thoughts on finding purpose during the COVID-19 shutdown in senior living. An avid gardener, she turns to her words to describe, through metaphor, life purpose: "I still wait in child-like anticipation for the seeds planted to peep through the ground. It is a miracle. And I know that I cannot change the world - I have a hard enough time changing my old habits - hopefully I can make a small difference in this place where I'm planted." 

We are speaking with an expert from The Living In Place Institute, Eric Listou. We offers lots of great tips for updating your home especially in the kitchen and bath areas for safety and accessibility.

Är röststyrda lampor framtiden eller bara samtiden? Vad kommer egentligen efter det vi nu ser? Är funktionsmaktordningen intakt? Utrotas invalider?

I detta avsnitt tar vi fram spåkulan och siar om framtiden. Vissa av oss är mer optimistiska än andra. Dessutom siktar vi in oss på crip fine dining, framtidens matkonnässörer helt enkelt.

I det här avsnittet är det tiden som sätter ramarna. Emma tar sig an funkislegenden Stephen Hawkings briljans, men inte utan ett visst ifrågasättande. Meanwhile: Tobias ältar sig i självömkande, det vill säga det rullar på som vanligt.

Temat för denna episod är (i klarspråk): tid, tidslig makt utifrån begrepp om funktion och slutligen lite funkisfetischism på det. Tack till Christine (Bylund) för en stor del av den teoretiska förståelsen!

Reading an unpublished spoken word piece titled, Becoming Peace. I wrote this piece for a speaking engagement last Fall at a Boys & Girls Club, as a message of self determination and healing for young people. Surely the words apply for us all. jaiyajohn.com/books. Books online everywhere...

Även om tanken på sommar och invalidläger kan tyckas långt borta nu i coronatider är det precis just det vi snackar om i avsnitt fyra av Full rulle. Vi åker - via Netflixdokumentären med samma namn som detta avsnitt - tillbaka till 1970-talets USA och till Camp Jened; ett hippie-funkisläger som kom att bli själva grundstenen i Independent Living-rörelsen och USA:s funkispolitik. Vi snackar aktivism och om den legendariska Judy Heumann.

Dessutom tittar vi närmare på konstiga vanor som normater ägnar dagarna åt.
