I'm sorry I wouldn't understand everyone on VP. My Sorenson VP 200 would freeze every time I use it. Time for a new VP for me.

Why don't you apply for a mobile VP like many of us have? You can do that here:

Other thing is, we are not supposed to have religious discussions on the forum anymore. I know I was called down for it at least once, so I stopped. If I have any questions, thoughts or theories, I know of a few people I could ask in PM, but would not do it in the open as it's not allowed.
 
Um, this is not a debate, but I wonder if deaf cats would be able to learn to clap better than hearing cats? Is it possible to find out because many cats refuse submit to a hearing test?

Give them an air horn hearing test, if they do what their Human counterparts do and freak out, then they can hear just fine. *NOTE* Do not seriously do the aforementioned suggestion, it was entirely in jest. :P

still thinking what put in my case..trying to remember what I likely to forget.May aswell think about meaning of life far easier
 
ugh... all the talk about banks and money... I really need to do something about my IRA...:( . It was my pension money (!) from my first job (I haven't had a 'pension' or 401K since because most of my jobs were contract jobs)...it hasn't changed much in over 15 years oops- partly because I don't or can't add money to it...

I tried to be a mature, responsible citizen looking toward future security, but due to almost no pay or hours, I had to withdraw my IRA early just to survive and it paid for me to drive out here.

Makes me think of that movie Fun with Dick and Jane "We followed the rules, and we got screwed."

LMAO- I'll have to remember that line. I feel like that some days- and it certainly fits a friend's life right now while some people she knows are coasting along living off of other people but still able to get tattoos, expensive technology, eat out more than most...

Well, we found out the balconies in all of our condos are bad. My neighbor fell through hers breaking both her legs so the HOA sent in construction to rebuild all of our balconies and inspect all of our condos. They found bad wood in my kitchen, downstairs half bath and master bedroom. Both balconies in my condo have to be rebuilt and the rebuild will take 6 months. Talk about terrible. Construction is Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm, which SUCKS! No parking in my garage or driveway and scaffolding everywhere! My condo was built 3 years ago and looks condemned... 4000 sq feet and I'm down to around 2000 sq feet with all these temporary walls. All the windows have to be replace and all this other crap, it looks terrible! Dust everywhere! So much noise! :mad: half of my kitchen, ( my island, cabinets are missing ) half my living room, half my dining room and half of my master bedroom are gone with these temporary white plastic walls up... stupid loud construction noise and workers.... :mad: since I own it, we'll see what will be done if anything through the good ol' HoA... :mad: that's what I'm thinking about! My house is so messy and gross looking!!! :mad: :pissed:

I would find out who the contractor was and threated to go give his name to the newspapers unless he fix for condo for free or give a you a huge discount . Damn that is really disgusting falling apart and only 3 years old.
The city building inspector had to been looking the other way for the contractor to get away with doing a half ass job. I am tying to sell my condo b/c the new manger is an idiot and lazy as hell. He leave light bulbs so the home owner has to replace them . That is his job , he is getting paid to maintain our condo. What did the building inspector say about your condo ? It would seen like it would not be safe to live there if the balconies are that bad.

Do you give them a hard time ? If yes good for you!

Heck i give them more than a hard time. One of the guys is of those people who turns all red when pissed off. But well at least some if the proposals were passed. Some money will be used for the city instead of going into their pockets

I give them a hard time and will question the mayor too. I got the city to fix a railing that was broken on some steps at a park before someone got hurt.
I got the city to also fix my road that falling apart. It a dead end street so it was last on the list to be fixed but I made phone calls and wrote a letter to the mayor and I bugged my city councilors and got a new road and sidewalks . Good job Dreamer03!

Oh, my, that's awful! Of course, I'm glad that they're fixing your place before you got hurt. Still, construction mess is terrible to live thru. I've done it on a much smaller scale and it was bad enough. I can't imagine living thru such an extensive mess for six months. :(

Make sure they include professional cleaning services (at their expense) after all the work is done. You'll need every item, and every square inch (vertical and horizontal), every drawer interior completely wiped down. That construction dust is very fine, and taping up sheets of plastic isn't good enough. Also, they should pay for professional steam cleaning (hot water extraction) of all your upholstered furniture, rugs, and carpeting.

I'm surprised that a poor construction job like that initially passed the building inspection. Something hinky going on there. :hmm: You might want to talk with your association or a lawyer about a class action. Keep everything they do or say documented.

Might be a good time to take a trip. :)

I did not see your comment and thought the same thing about something be wrong that this pass inspection. I hate to say this but someone may had gotten paid to look the other way. We had to replace our decks at my condo and the jerk that did the work sanded down the wood right on my new sliding door and got my screen covered with sawdust ! I called my condo manger and told them I want my door cleaned up but the ass did nothing . He did tell the carpenter to not sand anyone wood on the deck , but to do it on the lawn on a wooden horse . That is a great idea about a class action. The building should not be falling apart like that . They had cut corners and pocketed the rest of the money.

Thinking there is more than just one mountain lion being spotted in our area. It was seen at one of our elementary schools yesterday and at the high school today. Either that or it is seeking hire education and will be spotted at our community college tomorrow.
 
Well, since I own my condo that limits a lot of what I can do. The issue with the balconies and the bad wood being found is with every single condo in my community, not just mine. There are over 200 units in my community, so that's a lot of condos... :shock:

A lot of people in the community are talking about class action, I'm just not as sure as I want the headache. :lol:

The nice thing about the noise is I can just pull out my C.I. :P :laugh2: A lot of my neighbors don't have that luxury. :P However, you can still FEEL what they're doing... it's that freaking bad.... :shock: It keeps knocking my shampoo off of my holders and stuff in my showers! :mad: It's getting rather tedious. :roll: :mad: I just keep hoping they'll get ahead of schedule or something....

Mew....What a friggin nightmare. Did they give anyone the option to live some place else paid during construction? I couldn't do it and I know my husband could not sleep there. I would think there are a ton of safety issues around. I mean a lady fell through her porch!!!!!
I'm sorry you have to deal with all of this. Stay safe.
