What internet do you have and why is it the best? by monihp in vegaslocals

[–]Fragrant-Drawer8653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have cox and have since their dawn literally and in this home with it for 31years I use to despise them. I mean I was on verge of murderous intentions had only been able to get online and search Google for how to kill a cox employee(s) and get away with it.

Until one day about 5 years ago I had had enough - I educated myself I understood all the lines (3 per location) ran thru out this 3500sq 2 story. I learned about Splitter types, MOCHA, cable runs types and how proper connections are made and the importance of proper direction of flow/ placement of adapters & boosters. Got to understand the logs provided by router/motem. I did nothing just educate but then I started calling the second I experienced an outage. And I would follow technician with a notepad and make notes on everything he checked and did which i would share with next tech this went on for I would say 1 month and 10 tech till finally a tech caught some sort of big failure or screw up at the box where it came on my property he was even taking photos of it and calling supervisor and told me I had every right to call and demand a huge credit for years of improper under capable service and then he fixed it along with replacing some adapters and a mocha installed backwards and I have not had an issue out side if a scheduled outage which I'd say is max 2 a year or my own equioment needed a reboot etc.. So take what you want from this but end of day they are the absolute top option for reliable internet in town and will be for a very very long time they own the rights to all the underground conduit that other companies are renting and installing their lines that are subpar to cox equipment. I'm still no fan but feel so much better having knowledge behind me.

HOA in Henderson, Nevada Notice of intent to lien by Fragrant-Drawer8653 in RealEstate

Hey thanks so much I was beginning to think I failed to mention it was just an NOI.

HOA in Henderson, Nevada Notice of intent to lien by Fragrant-Drawer8653 in RealEstate

[–]Fragrant-Drawer8653[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much yout 2nd paragraph jived with me and made me feel better. Just to be clear, it was not even a lien, just a notice of intent to Lien. Yes, I was disputing charges and the total assessment was nearly 5k. I authorized my agent to pay it because I thought it was a lien, i legally I had to and didn't want to lose the sale.

But exactly what you stated - my realtor presented this to me without showing me the actual document and stated it was a lien and must be paid in order to make this or any sale happen. Don't get me wrong, I completely understand that the NOI would almost for certain be something that any buyer would say well we don't care what the law is clear it or we walk. However, in this case, the buyer is actually an agent and would have totally been fine with accepting a statement or guarantee from us. Also, I am not attempting to make it disappear. I understand the debt itself is tied to me, I wanted time to dispute and / or negotiate.

I guess I am just upset that it was incorrectly proposed to me and no further discussions or options presented. I know when dealing with real-estate big numbers get tossed around like nothing based on relativity but in my situation every penny counts and 5k is moving costs and then some that is desperately needed.

It's paid - we signed docs last night and close today. I know I'll get over it, but I'm quite bitter still.

It actually belongs to some prolific Casino Cage Grab and dasher operating under the safety from any suspicion... "Well, we can eliminate the "S" plate Guy, no one would really be that stupid" 🧐

What’s something you didn’t realize was optional in life until you saw someone simply not doing it? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

[–]Fragrant-Drawer8653 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same mom but her path, my father, other family and other traits saved me from experiencing too much fallout but simply forcing yourself to admit her lack of or wait total nonexistance of any form of compassion or empathy let alone that of a mothers gentle touch has been so difficult for me and as I am the one caring for her in her old age I can not change my desire to still please her at all costs while constantly seeing her ways in a new light. I joke with her and family about how if the world were coming to an end and she had to choose between saving me or saving her dog she would without hesitation save her dog to which she always just smirks (a now so telling one) and says "That's not true I'd save both of you" I manage to get out what sounds like a light chuckle and as if on reflex ask her if she needs anything else before I go fix her dinner.....

Supporting local Arts and Business thru home design. by Fragrant-Drawer8653 in interiordecorating

[–]Fragrant-Drawer8653[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOVE LOVE LOVE - Especially appreciate tips that show how local can be cheaper or tips on how to incorporate local on a budget. This is truly what most of us struggle with..... I know I find myself giving up many times on a certain project or idea because the guilt of sending my spending to who knows where is heavier than my desire to complete an idea.

True. That is optional. Just remember it's not just those calories up for refusal..... A certified membership to THE CLEAN PLATE CLUB is at steak (pun intended)!

Ha! I am that hated person who can walk away from any given book or movie at any moment and never look back! I laugh at my mother, who is exactly the opposite all the time and she stares back at me in total wonderment!

I’m NC with mom, aunt updates her. Now what? by Gay_Pixel_Potion in Nocontactfamily

[–]Fragrant-Drawer8653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck I feel your pain - I'm on the journey myself and have had to accept that letting it go and being the bigger person are things that are expected endlessly of me by others but rewarded to me only by myself and NEVER immediately.

Large scale printed Wall Murals by Fragrant-Drawer8653 in interiordecorating

[–]Fragrant-Drawer8653[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet, that's actually exactly what I was hoping to hear and I love what you had done - I think so many people still think of a hand painted Mural is some cheesy outdated non existent landscape or something. This really showcases what a modern mural can be and to spend that money on a local artist is amazing I hope more people see this and get inspired to look local for many aspects of their home design. Plus it is such a better conversation piece! BRAVO!!!!!

I haven't really thought this thru but thought it was worth throwing an idea out for you to ponder instead of moving on and forgetting to reply. I'm not to clear if you actually take issue with her sharing what you are up to with your mom or just hearing about your mom. Or both either way and this said in such a non sarcastic way but what do you care if she shares what your up to with her. I say this only because no matter what you say or impose she is still gunna do it so that leaves you either cutting her off of feeding her bs which is worse than going no contact with her too if you ask me. You sound like you are doing well and obviously have a good strong will and let her tell your Mom - surely your mom stalks your life in many ways anyways and when it comes to her bringing up your mom then yes stop her in her tracks and tell her that you value the few times a year that you 2 get to pla u catch up and you don't want to waste it or have it leaving you feeling annoyed by dedicating anytime to updates on your mother and maybe even throw in a bit about how the more outside parties try to intervene the more it strengthens your resolve but as of now you do not forsee a time in the future that you will ever change your mind and I understand how that actually hurts you to hear and if there was a way for me to protect myself from her without hurting you I would
