ParticipantWow is this thread ever touching a nostalgic nerve! My grandparents used to live on Long Beach Island at Barnegat Light, still one of my favorite lighthouses. Havn’t been there in years. About a week after my grandparents died their quaint little cape cod was replaced with a massive contemporary. We really used to love to go “down the shore” to Grandma’s house when I was a kid. Mothball smell in the attic is something I’ll never forget. The trip down from Philly was always interesting as well; a family of seven stuffed into a 1963 VW bug. I’m rubbing my legs now reminiscing about the cramps I used to get from sitting in the little well behind the back seat with my younger brother. Good luck trying to pull that off today.
LBI is really nice, kind of like a poor man’s Outer Banks.

ParticipantAs many on this forum know, I was in this exact situation spring 09. I talked to a Jag first, and he reiterated what was said before, the lease is between you and the landlord, not the bank. You have no right to escrow your rent, you made an agreement to pay them the money, and they can toss you out if you don’t. I realize it doesn’t seem fair, as the bank is likely to toss you when he/she loses the place, but that’s a different battle.
I found what worked for me was after I found out what my rights were, (you may be able to break the lease if you can prove the place is delinquent, but that will necessitate a move on your part) I simply confronted the landlord with the facts. I worked out a deal where I was able to use my security deposit as the last 2 months rent, and they were cool with that. In all likelihood you’re going to have to move anyway, so this might be an option for you. Good luck whatever happens, I can tell you from personal experience what a frustrating/maddening situation this is.
By the way, I’ll never forget what my landlord said when I asked him if he was planning to walk away: “It go down!” (the value of the property of course)

ParticipantFor anyone that believes the government isn’t spooked about Wikileaks, consider this: a few months ago we got a DOD wide message that if we logged onto Wikileaks with one of our computers we could be subjected to criminal penalty. This was even extended to our personal computers at home if the government found out about it.
Want to know how serious they really are? When I tried to read this thread during my lunch break today I received a message that my “attempt to access Wikileaks has been recorded”. I’m expecting an email tomorrow morning asking me to explain my behavior.
I have to be honest, this site and it’s reach scares me a bit, especially since I’m going to be spending the majority of next year in Afghanistan and I’ll be plenty pissed if my life is endangered by a scumbag like this.

ParticipantThis thread reminded me how much I miss being able to buy wine at Costco (or the supermarket, convenience store etc.) Damn Maryland State Stores. Do you guys know how much of a pain in the ass it is to be an alcoholic in this state?
Oh, and my favorite deal under $50 is 12 months of Xbox live for $49.99. Shooting my friends is such great stress relief.
