  1. Thank you for sharing this.   I am heartbroken to hear this news.  To be completely honest, I'm crying.  Dave was an amazing man and the very dearest friend I'd never met.  Though I never actually met him, my son in law did when they met to rehome one of the homeless kitties he cared for.  

     

    He taught me many things.  I'm forever grategul.  Mahalo my friend.  Mahalo.

  2. Since you know nothing of the Muslims I've met, known and "seen," your point is absurd. But, since you say that we've "seen" different Muslims, do explain their utter lack of intolerance and opposition to the greater jihad of their faith?? Please and thank you, as finding such a kernel of evidence would be very welcomed.

    Did I ever attempt to "convince you" "they're all bad?" I'm beginning to think you do not read with the intent to understand.

    Please provide the avenue to chose to "go out and get info" yourself?!?!? I think that would be interesting. (B.S., of course, but lets go with it....)

    You make a claim of something I don't understand, while not specifically identifying that certain something, then project your desire of stupidity upon me by asserting, as many good liberals do, that any contrary thought must somehow be faulty and lacking.

    Pre tell, what is it I don't understand? I lay open and exposed to all comers...bring it on. What am I missing, he/she/it?

    I've seen variations of your last sentence ad nauseum. It really detracts from your argument.

    You speak in absolutes Youch. It's often difficult for me to relate to what you say because of that. (I do not have you on my ignore list ;))

  3. think that's lucky, I knew someone who had an extra property and put it up for rent. Someone my mom worked with at the va who happens to be in a wheelchair looked at the place, and the guy told her he was sorry he just couldn't afford to make it handicapped accessible. she sued, and the long and short of it was he sold the property to pay what he owed her from the court case. my mom worked with the lady and said she is a lawsuit happy kind of person, couldn't even do the job she was hired for at the va, but they wouldn't fire her because she threatened legal action.

    oy vey!

    but seriously, I don't get it :(

  4. ah, dan - I wish I had had the foresight to consider all possible outcomes before moving on without a property manager :( our attorney has filed for an eviction and a court date has been set.

    she is an absolute nightmare. she moved in complaining, and it hasn't stopped since. the previous property manager claims he did a background check but my quick online background check showed multiple charges for assault, prostitution and child endangerment :( she was also not truthful about previous residences, the fool had someone call me to "mediate", I guess she'd forgotten that she had listed this person as a previous landlord..

    she has filed complaints with licensing and inspection, no violations were found. she has slandered me to my neighbors. she told a friend of mine that "she didn't know how long she'd be living here because her landlords were such expletives..." and the icing on the cake, she ripped out a rose bush that my (dead) father and I had planted because she didn't want her baby to get scratched.

    what?!!!!

    bottom line is that she moved in on may 1st with first, last and security deposit. she had not paid june rent or july. did she think she was going to live in my house for free and that I would continue to pay the mortgage? hmm

    oh god, I could go on and on

  5. actually, I have a good news for us update, as of yesterday the city condemned his house and he has relocated a couple of towns away...so this situation seems to have resolved itself.

    As far as renters go, I know how much of a hassle that can be...when I was a child my mom rented property to someone who didn't pay and got pregnant so they couldn't be evicted, long story short on this one...she moved in with them, they moved out the next day.

    that's great news! I hope he stays far away from you and your family now..

    mine is an ongoing nightmare. I think it's the chutzpah of both your example, david, and my squatter. it is their unrealistic sense of entitlement and their willingness to impose themselves on others that galls me. I like your mother's solution! I would move in, but I live in california and my property is back east :( I've hired an attorney (that I can't afford)

  6. You got bent because I have at&t which in my opinion is the most expensive out of all and my wife walked out with an older Iphone for only 99 cents granted it was just an Iphone 4s but still an Iphone so you can go cheap

    not even a little bit. I have no idea who you are and could care less what kind of phone you have. I was addressing another member, and trying to do so respectfully.

    as for the purchase price, duly noted. I have never attempted to purchase an older, outdated device; they may well be available for .99. the cost for service would still appear to be out of range for someone on public assistance.

    and I'll ask, since someone undoubtedly will, to your second post, what rationale are you using when asking for assistance again when you make "pretty good money"?

  7. I am so sorry you and your family have to deal with this. it's a slippery slope when (apparent) mental illness or at the very least, boundary issues, meets the law again and again and again.

    I've just found that I have someone with a rather checkered past - read: judgments, failure to pay rent, etc, living in my house. squatting in my house, as she has not paid rent. the chutzpah and insult increased when she filed complaints with licensing and inspection against us to keep from paying.

    she is evidently entitled to living in my house without paying rent and you have been appointed david's personal chauffer. how dare you not drive him to when he asks you?

    yours is a cautionary tale, it is very likely that he will hurt someone. you are right, I'm not sure how David didn't violate his parole :(

  8. for me, the best thing about being married is that I get to wake up every morning with my best friend.

    this is my second marriage, his first. at this point, we may have difficulties coming from outside of us, but we don't have issues from within (not right now, anyway). I think our level of commitment has changed since we decided to marry less than ten years ago but I'm not sure if it was the marriage per se or experience and the passage of time :) we have known each other since 1998..

    we share a common purpose and goals. we share a past and day to day laughs, dog duties and dilemmas. we are a team, we are in this together.
