I had started a contractor’s thread . For odd jobs, I would try to call Mr. Fix It 619-920-7745.

Don’t know if you’re doing any other work, but I started a thread Contractors I would recommend

[jpinpb]

I have recommended Jason Hovencamp 909-226-6467. He will work w/you and do anything you want done, any way you want it. He will also share his experience on what might be better. He will make and install them as if they were going in his own kitchen. But I’ve heard that word has been getting around about him and he’s been pretty busy. I would still give him a try. I love the cherry cabinets he did in my kitchen. Most people that have seen my kitchen love them.

ATT worked on our i-Pad, but very slow. Went down a couple of times, then worked again. Texting was not a problem at all on my cell and my DH w/T-Mo. Made a few phone calls and had a few phone calls, as well. No problems.

Or anti-social. I became good friends w/some of my roommates. One came to my wedding. I don’t know why there would be such a stigma to renting a room to someone. People are so weird.

TG – You always say the right things 🙂

If this couple are not happy together, then maybe divorce is a good thing. They maybe will find someone who is their soul mate.

I think you should have a wild party to welcome your new tenant and give your neighbor something to think about!

Okay. J/K. I think it’s a smart move and your neighbor is an idiot. Don’t let it get to you. You may end up getting the last laugh if this economy keeps going south.

[jpinpb]

A little late to this party. Great thread.

[quote=SK in CV]I won’t (and can’t reasonably) dispute that it was WWII that ended the depression.

Wiping out manufacturing in other countries also helped us out of the depression, giving us more JOBS. The war wasn’t necessarily the savior of our economy. The jobs/manufacturing was, IMO.

[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Obama is a weak and ineffectual leader and has proved nearly Republican in terms of policies and programs. As SK astutely points out, he was NEVER a Democrat (in the grand sense of the word) and even his most starry-eyed supporters (save you) have tumbled to this reality.[/quote]

I hate to say this and I don’t want to rattle anyone’s cage, just stating my observation. He is a black version of Bush, conintuing wars, continuing the Patriot Act and giving money to banks and insurance companies. Obi-Wan he is not and I have little hope.

Everyone please keep in mind — I hate to keep repeating myself — our economy would not even be as good as it is were it not for the fact banks are not foreclosing and people are living for free. Housing is a huge expense. I’ve seen too many places still not foreclosed upon, going 2+ years, some people even have multiple properties. These can’t be isolated instances.

What greater stimulus can one have?!

[quote=UCGal]I meant that happiness was doable if you’re on the same page. It’s MUCH harder if you’re out of balance in any of those areas.[/quote]
You guys seem like a very good pair!

[jpinpb]

LOL. Okay. Dated for almost 2 years. Lived together almost 2 years. Married 4. Maybe I’m still considered a newlywed.

Edit – 2 stepkids.

[jpinpb]

[quote=svelte]WI was trying to convince them to stay together because of the kids, but at a certain point staying together really does more harm than good. They are all miserable. Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to help at all.[/quote]

I don’t know how long the marriage is, but forcing to stay together for the kids could cause resentment. One more straw and strain on the relationship. Debateable whether it’s good for the kids or not in the end, depending on how old the kids are.

[jpinpb]

Okay. I’m new to this marriage thing, but have had previous long-term relationships. I really don’t know what kind of marriages you people have. I am sad for you. If your marriages are so bad, why stay in it? No, it will not always be blissful, but I can’t imagine my life w/out my DH and he says the same and no, not just saying it. It is mutual, for sure. He said I’m his soul mate. I laugh b/c that strikes me as something a girl says. But he means it.

I hope you guys are kidding. I know plenty of people who are married that are very content. Sure there are ups and downs in life, but that would be the case whether they were single or married. The marriage itself is happy.

It definitely is better to mediate w/out attorneys. Once one party goes to an attorney, it complicates things. Whatever you do, be extremely careful on what you agree to and make sure things are specified, allowing for changes if circumstances arise that cause things to be modified.

[jpinpb]

I recommend Carl Sizemore. He’s a family law specialist certified. Not normally in North County, but has been known to go up there. Occasionally takes on low income situations. Worth a try.

[quote=Jacarandoso]Email from a squatter applying to rent from me.

“Unfortunately/Fortunately we found out yesterday our foreclosure date has been postponed from Sep. 14th. So we won’t be needing a place to rent yet. It will also give us time to save more money to fall back on. I’m sorry for wasting your time, but please let us know if it is for rent again in the near future. We would definitely be a good fit there.”[/quote]

Please let me know if I can possibly waste your time again in the near future.

Nice.
