My connection went to crap so it's not letting me "like" posts and not loading some of the pictures. I can see some of Ben's drainage pipe pics but can't see pics in his next post replying to Grimm. :-(
Yeah. People keep saying things like "Why don't you just move?" Moving costs money. I still remember a shining example of the disconnect was a legislator from my district whining about how he "only" makes $6million a year and that of that $6million he "only" gets $600k to split among feeding his family and investing in new businesses and that once he's done feeding his family he "only" has a mere $200k to invest in new businesses. WTHeck is he feeding his family? Gold nuggets? And he says this while presiding over a district where the median *household* income is less than $25k/year. People are living in abject poverty and this guy is complaining. And his advice to the poor people is to cut back on their spending, get a 3rd job, get an education (which costs $$$), etc. He runs one of the food franchises in the area that vastly understaffs and underpays employees.
I used to make mods for games. Not as good as it since games have gotten more complicated. I made new companion faces for Morrowind and made myself a golden tower shield. I didn't see any tower shields I liked in the game. Wish I hadn't lost that hard drive because I was proud of that mod. I did some mods for The Sims, and The Sims 2. I did some recolors for Sims 4. As I've aged my brain has not been able to focus as much.
Today I went to the post office and found they had a box with mom's insulin. Ice packs had already melted. Went to my friend's house to sand, clean, and put another coat of oil on the butcherblock countertop. Went to the store to grab some stuff for Mom and then headed home. They did try to smooth out the ruts in the road but it's still ugly.
My brother convinced my friend's gf to start taking her anti-psychotic meds again and she's doing better. But her brother and his wife are really upset. The storm hit them on Aug 29. They borrowed a relative's truck and left on the 30th. The roof caved in so the place is uninhabitable. Their landlord called them this afternoon to inform them that unless they paid rent for this month he was formally evicting them as of Oct 1 and that if they don't have all of their belongings out by then he's going to demo the place and destroy their stuff. It's a 4 hour drive each way to get there. Dude seriously wants $550 for a place that is uninhabitable. He also said he won't be giving them their security deposit back. He's claiming the place wasn't insured. I suggested they see if they can get a free consultation with a lawyer to ask about their rights here. Pretty sure landlord has to give written notice and reasonable time to get their stuff. Also he can't legally charge rent for that month.
As an aside, what forum section would I go to for posting pics of my workshop? I want to discuss how to fix it up and also figure out WTHeck some of the stuff in there is. LOL.
