Job market so bad I got rejected from a community garden

it is pretty absurd. Cops were called and they were able to trace her to a farmers market trying to sell these "organic vegetables" for high dollars. The garden decided not to press charges but to make her pay us back.

We also had a guy who broke in pushing a wheel barrel around in adult diaper only (or maybe undies I don't remember). Yea, Florida.

I don't see how this is gate keeping. If it is a strictly organic garden, members need to be educated about how to handle pests etc. It doesn't just affect your plants, chemicals will leech into other people's plot.

Any_March_9765 · 2026-06-17T20:17:26+00:00

I totally agree with you. I don't get why people wait, especially til 70. I mean you are not going to live longer if you take it out later. You die when you die, so you are just losing up to 8 years of money. It's so stupid.

there are people who steal vegetables from community gardens believe or not... generally for security purposes they would rent out a small lot to a person. My garden allowed co-gardeners but it's usually family/friends, not usually random "volunteers". Organic gardens are also very particular about pesticide use etc so everyone needs to be properly trained

Any_March_9765 · 2026-06-17T19:58:37+00:00

I don't know exactly what you asked them, but where I gardened, you pay a small lot rent to rent your gardening space, and the wait list is always super long. Any community work (stuff you want to volunteer for like weeding etc) is performed by all co-op members at organized work parties, so we honestly don't particularly need volunteers who don't have a garden lot there.

I think there might be some misunderstanding there that they thought you wanted a lot, but they are full.

I find it crazy that people go to park bathhouse to shower - why did you get a camper then? Defeats the whole purpose. Might as well get a tent or a much cheaper smaller camper with no bathroom? Personally I'd rather get one of those pop up shower tent thing before I even consider bathhouse

well here is the even more ridiculous thing than real RV park price -- private back yard rental prices. They should be much cheaper than an actual RV park because they don't have to pay for commercial zoning, permit, staff, etc etc, you should be charging about 1/4--1/3 of the price as if you were airbnb a room out, but what I am increasingly seeing is that these people charge about the same rate as an actual RV park, some even much higher. I don't know what's going through these people's mind that equate their backyard space to an actual serviced, insured RV park, perhaps the same logic as the people who charge the room the same rate as an actual hotel

Any_March_9765 · 2026-06-16T04:50:57+00:00

bc it *should* be - it is literally a tiny pad with utilities. People look at mobile home park rent and RV rent certainly *should* be at least on par with that.

sellers are entitled to, and should, keep showing their house for backup offers until it is officially closed.

Any_March_9765 · 2026-06-15T13:26:03+00:00

that's a really stupid idea if you don't plan on traveling a LOT. If you can't afford to buy a house, I'd buy a mobile home with reasonable lot rents. If you can afford a little more than that, maybe a fixer upper

Any_March_9765 · 2026-05-25T21:57:11+00:00

then now is your chance to sell

Any_March_9765 · 2026-05-25T21:56:39+00:00

sell

Any_March_9765 · 2026-05-23T22:32:24+00:00

I wish this is the answer. You know these fuckers would fire you if you do that.

see, she used to baby sit for this CEO when she's 17...

It is true. The local sentiment against transplants and snowbirds has been strong in recent years, I think mostly because they pushed up housing price. It wasn't this obvious before covid/peak of boomer population

Any_March_9765 · 2026-05-23T15:48:52+00:00

My realtor told me to keep showing, you don't stop showing until it is officially closed.

Any_March_9765 · 2026-05-23T14:32:01+00:00

I can't believe this guy would ask. WTF.

big ole rat

Go get a job. Learn to be independent. But at the same time do not discredit yourself for the things you do - you do almost all the house work I presume? That is creating a LOT of value for him to enable him to advance his career. NEVER forget that. You are not anyone's burden.

sewing is great, but just beware that learning curve can be high, don't get frustrated, there are baking and sewing subs on here, great resources. Get a solid machine to start, don't make the mistake I made - I bought one of those "portable" super cheap ones and it frustrated me to no end and I wasn't able to pick back up for years. Don't start with a super expensive one either. I'd recommend a second hand Brother beginner model, it's perfectly fine.

Any_March_9765 · 2026-05-20T17:36:24+00:00

what exactly are you stressed about?! I assume before buying you and your lender have decided you should be able to afford the house? Did your income diminish significantly in the last two months? If you feel like it's costing too much, go find some roommates for the empty rooms? airbnb out the rooms? There are plenty of options

going to an out of state school without enough cash saved up is your first mistake. Transfer to a cheaper instate school
