Actually, they have been, but without a lease or renter's agreement for us to sign, I'm subject to the -last- piece of paper signed (over 3 months ago), which was just prior to the sale of the farm: 500$ a month for 2 months, 5,000$ security deposit (which I haven't gotten back yet)... and a 200$ a day penalty for each day I stayed on the property!

:\ lower Middlesex county.

It isn't and I've gone back to taking a baby aspirin every morning |:

To the buyers, this is just another investment, like a stock or bond, they don't care to 'manage' it, just so long as they make a profit.

VicariousE 2015-10-29 14:38:30

Verbally, they did let me stay... but after the 2 month pre-sale deal expired, there was nothing in place afterwords, to prevent them from zapping me 200$ a day! Until I get my original deposit money back... that may yet be the case (in which case, I actually owe them a grand)

VicariousE 2015-10-29 19:18:04

My money and hair are escaping at an alarming rate

VicariousE 2015-10-30 02:09:00

Eh, I don't have a hairstyle anyway, I just comb it and tie it back with elastic wrapped in cloth

VicariousE 2015-10-30 06:33:06

The $ is more of a problem than the %, go figure :(

VicariousE 2015-10-30 17:02:41

Best case scenario: the buyers of my property finally get me a proper lease to sign, then my old comfort zone will be reborn! If not, well... squatting (at my old place) and cleaning up from a rain barrel, going to the local library for recharging/internet, can't go on indefinitely.

VicariousE 2015-10-31 16:11:35

Well the lead buyer and his family seemed nice, said I could stay as long as I wanted... but the paperwork says otherwise (the minor partner added a lot of details that no one except him seems to like).

In Pennsylvania I stayed at a hotel, which was very expensive. After I got back to NJ, well, I've been staying in the truck :( At least I got a shower today, so I feel a little better anyway, but am still waiting on something (in writing) that says I can rent my old home again... I just hope it's not bullshit!

The new owner's a doctor, and doesn't like to sign anything... but does believe in karma. But this is the US; karma loses out to legal documents, ya know?

VicariousE 2015-10-31 17:01:40

Boy that sure brings up a plethora of old stories lol! No sense in scaring the local gentry any more than I already have.... o_o

VicariousE 2015-11-01 00:34:18

Yeah, either PA or south of there. Depends on how much it'll cost, among a great many other things (I've still got enough farm equipment to make a good go of it).

That's sweet of you to say, thanks! Take care of your knee dear, it'll likely be a 24/7 thing to worry about for a while, till things firm up.

VicariousE 2015-11-01 22:19:03

It's been warm here lately, so there's no need for me to make a new suit... I was really hoping to have a nice warm place to construct/tailor it, with no immediate worries on my mind

Er, I've actually been squatting in my old home. I did ask the middleman to buy his own padlocks... but since he didn't, I ended up making a spare I certainly wished I'd never have to use. Sucks having to sneak in and out of my old home. If the heater in the truck worked, I would slept there more often. Moisture is a big concern, considering all my clothes and papers are in the truck cab... don't want anything moldy

VicariousE 2015-11-02 19:11:05

Aw man, I've been feeling run down, sure... but now I've got an ear infection (ear styke), so I got a hotel room for the night. Guess I got it thanks to all the unheated and dirty places I've hanging out/killing time.

Er, maybe? Still doesn't help much though, the power's off, so no heat or light :p

VicariousE 2015-11-02 19:54:09

Still waiting on the buyer's lawyer, to get back to the estate (family's) lawyer, whom I promised a few billable hours, just to get things set up... more waiting |:

I guess I'm okay with long trailers (it's the short ones that are a menace to back up), but it's not really a long term solution without some land to go long with it... the cats and I need somewhere to raise crops and stuff.

VicariousE 2015-11-03 21:30:22

The guy who arranged the sale thinks going low-use solar's a good idea, likely worth the investment these days.
Lol what?
I guess we're still waiting on the State to get their cut, which reminds me, I voted in local elections today, and got glad-handed by a mayoral candidate.. wonder if he won? Democrats always win here, family's pass it down (party affiliation) like a communicable disease.

VicariousE 2015-11-04 00:41:19

Yeah but 2 laid back 4 irl biz
Lol, wats that?
...I'm a Democrat and I'm okay, I sleep all night and work all day (sung to Monty Python's Lumberjack song) My last words to him as he walked away to glad-hand someone else, "I voted for you, you know." Fight BS w/ BS ;)

VicariousE 2015-11-04 21:17:24

Sad situation, ain't it?

VicariousE 2015-11-11 10:11:29

thanks man, 2nd day in a (non-smoking) hotel, and the nearest exit is locked off :p Couldn't hack living without heat and light for more than a day or two |:
I'm a few hundred feet away from Thunder Road northbound in central NJ

It looped automatically when you had the Portal page open, the old linkable center of activity 10-15 years ago. The persistent volume and mute control was in the upper right I think.. even the Audio Portal had a player of the daily top 5, and a skip button as well. Both pages had swell interactive flash banners and characters, was really decent looking/feeling, immersive and inclusive.

@tomfulp, the new Firefox displays a speaker (and mute option) in the tab, whenever audio is present/playing on the page... how about bringing back the simple old player, do it up like we used to? Be a nice supporter feature, also an opportunity for the local talent to fill in the content gaps.
: same appeal should be made for new page skins, just provide the deets on a page and/or thread

VicariousE 2015-11-18 21:08:57

Well said and summarized :3
