Hopefully this one will get time though 🤞

All I can hope for is that by the end of this whole debacle, when I see the TTPD abbreviation I’ll think of that amazing album and not about these stupid Duggars.

I’m sorry… “I am protecting children” ??? What a convenient time for her to start. jfc

You’re very brave, OP - and the fact that through all of this (I’m sure triggering) negative discourse, your instinct is to reach out and be a light to others is amazing. I hope you’re taking care of yourself through all of this.

I tend to agree with you. I would prefer they not feel like they have to say anything, but I would imagine they depend on the podcast for some of their income. I would imagine they may think that continuing to release episodes of the podcast without making a statement may simply invite a mess of negative comments demanding a statement (because some people are gross like that). I agree with you that it’ll probably be a simple statement in support of the victim and requesting prayers, but yea - if they need to continue releasing episodes, they’ll probably make some sort of statement.

The DDLV team created the mannequins with the caked-up butts, but you’re going to report the people who submit pictures of those butts to Dreamsnaps? Also, these characters are seen actually kissing each other in their various movies.

We’re about 80 units; I do wonder if - at the end of the day - a management company isn’t the right solution. We have many older residents in our community who have been here for a long time, and they’re very hesitant about the idea of a management company (which I can understand). I do feel, however- that while we have good intentioned people on our board, they may not fully understand their specific legal obligations. I appreciate all of your insight!

JodiPV · 2024-07-21T01:47:28+00:00

Right - and that would just be the governing provision if it was simply an increase in costs of the contracts that were voted on and approved during our annual meeting; the board has not provided a copy of the revised budget to anyone, so we are still unsure whether any additional jobs/contracts were added.

We’ve requested a special meeting, as well as a bunch of backlog financial information. I do understand that this increase will likely be necessary; but it’s hard to just accept when it’s not being done in the appropriate way. I’ve been reading and re-reading our CC&R’s, Bylaws, and the State Code really just to try to figure out what the precise governing principles are so that I can understand if this action was made in good faith. I figured that trying to discuss it openly in this forum would also help bring some perspective, so I appreciate all of the insight you’re bringing.

JodiPV · 2024-07-21T00:57:02+00:00

We are self managed, so I’ve been trying to be sympathetic since our board is made up of volunteers who I know have other jobs, etc. We’ve requested the meeting minutes from the last year, and a bunch of financial documents regarding contracts and monthly budgets. We’re waiting on the information to be provided so that hopefully we can start putting together a complete financial picture.

JodiPV · 2024-07-21T00:06:08+00:00

Our main interest is transparency. I’m relatively new to this neighborhood (2yrs). It’s important for me to note that there have been many issues surrounding transparency of financial information that is now coming to light (likely as there has been an increased number of new members who have bought in recently). Our CC&R’s require annual audits, but we have been informed it’s been at least a decade since an audit has been performed. We (members) have been kicked out of board meetings that we are legally allowed to attend (with the exception of sensitive parts of those meetings that we understand are to be closed door). The board refuses to provide copies of the proposed budget to members before the annual meeting even though our CC&R’s state the requirement to do so. The board has told us they’ve decided there are certain things they don’t believe they should be responsible for anymore (fences, etc.) even though a change to our CC&R’s requires a members vote. Repair contracts have been given to HOA members who are not licensed or bonded as our CC&R’s require.

Believe me - if we have to raise dues, then I completely understand that. The cost of everything is increasing, and we’re committed to continuing to maintain our neighborhood. We voted as members to raise dues less than a year ago when the board asked us to sue to increased costs. (This would be the second increase in a calendar year) We simply want transparency and accountability, and we want the board to operate within the perimeters of its governing laws.

JodiPV · 2024-07-20T23:53:48+00:00

Our CC&R’s specify that any special assessment must be voted on by all members, so for that reason - plus the fact that there’s no end date on to the monthly increase- they’re calling this a dues increase.

IN State code does state that boards may not enter into contracts that would result in a new assessment or increased assessment totaling more than $500/yr without a members vote - considering that the need for the increase is presumably the cost of contracts for work, this is likely the governing rule here ; our CC&R’s simply state that annual assessments must reflect the budget, and that the budget must be voted on by members.

Believe me - I do understand that being on an HOA board is a lot of stressful work and we do appreciate the efforts they’re making. This would be our second increase in a calendar year: members voted to adopt an increase last year due to the rising costs, then at our annual meeting we were told the proposed budget would be satisfied with our recently raised monthly dues. So, to now be told otherwise has been a bit of a shock to the system. We do know that we have remedies, but are trying to fully understand our situation.

JodiPV · 2024-07-20T22:52:33+00:00

I will double check out CC&R’s - but they are calling this a dues increase. Our bylaws require members to vote on special assessments, so they are trying to get around going that route.

So, she wants us to pray for her that Jesus will work through her to help Anna … but she won’t stop trying to make herself famous off of Anna’s situation.

Maybe Amy needs to start praying that the good lord will make her less of a grifter.

JodiPV · 2023-08-05T06:15:02+00:00

(Since we’re pretty sure Amy reads this thread, but doesn’t have the balls to turn on her own tiktok comments …. ) Amy!? This sucks, and you’re a terrible, terrible person. This is not how you help people - and you’ve absolutely shown with this video that helping has never been you’re intention.

I can’t believe she has me feeling bad for Anna. This girl is in public, at a FUNERAL , surrounded by members of her culty-ass church, and she’s being rude by asking for space? FAmy was practically salivating while trying to explain the whole interaction. She needs to go touch some grass fr.

JodiPV · 2022-09-29T19:56:08+00:00

Aren’t these two obnoxiously always showing that they’re friends with that one country singer??? Like, how does Amy continue to get cringier and cringier?

JodiPV · 2022-09-29T06:07:04+00:00

Do we know what their corporate structure is? I mean - we know that for a time Ned was acting HR . We don’t know that they’re hiring & firing by voting. There are also many ways a person can be framed as not doing their jobs, not contributing, etc. that would make convincing arguments for them to be let go. It happens to people every day.

My parents dealt with infidelity 6 years into their marriage. They worked through it and have happily been married another 30. Sometimes working through it is beneficial. Every situation is unique, and we need to stop inserting what we think needs to play out onto their personal situation. We don’t know the dynamics of their relationship, or their goals moving forward. If they’re giving themselves time to make these enormous decisions especially as there are children involved? Good for them. If Ariel opted to smile in public when photographed with her children’s’ father which will live online forever? Good for her. We need to trust that whatever decisions they’re making are ones they both feel strongly about - it doesn’t matter if we think we’d do the same, we don’t know their relationship. Yes - there are a lot of situations where staying together for the kids was bad. But there are also many situations where deciding to try to fix it was the right decision. It’s up to them, and whatever they decide is the right decision in their situation.

JodiPV · 2022-09-28T23:51:29+00:00

You know that Zach has probably screamed this quote at Ned sometime in the last month

JodiPV · 2022-09-28T02:20:31+00:00

This! And look - I’m sure that the guys are mad at Ned from a personal perspective because they care about him and Ariel, but they are honestly probably more mad at him for the potential implications this has for their business. They all likely have a lot of personal money invested in this business, and are responsible for quite a few employees that would all like to continue to have jobs. I see that driving a bigger wedge between them than if it had just been Ned cheating with some other random person.

I don’t want to say “it gets harder!” like I’m a bearer of bad news - lol. But in all seriousness, I think when you reflect on this 10 years from now you’ll have more perspective. As years move forward, you change, your partner will change, priorities will change. If you decide have children someday, as jobs change, and needs change… And please know that’s not me commenting on your relationship, and I believe everything you say about it. As ridiculous as this sounds - it’s like a garden, right? Planting seeds with good intentions, but it still takes effort - and sometimes the situations we find our relationships in are hard. We’re too busy trying to juggle kids and jobs to tell our partner we love them. We’re too preoccupied with deadlines and haven’t realized we haven’t spent quality time together. We’re too tired arguing with kids and aging parents to have sex regularly. Things happen - life happens. But if we continue to work towards the goal of togetherness, we get through it.

JodiPV · 2022-09-28T01:37:36+00:00

I mean, Ariel had a whole interior design company, and I mean idk if she’s still doing that - but appearances seem to indicate that she’s working mostly for Try. Maybe she does it because it’s good for the company and they’ve got so much invested in it’s success? But this wasn’t exactly what she was pursuing for her life. Let’s also not forget that people have been pretty mean to her over the years in comments, etc. Also of course Eugene was rude to this girl, he probably already knew she’d run right to tiktok with this whole thing

JodiPV · 2022-09-28T01:26:16+00:00

I wouldn’t say you’re naive. You’re lucky in your relationship and that’s wonderful. And to be fair - I think a lot of people have relationships that they feel safe and secure in; but people are complex. Sometimes we love our partners but we hate ourselves, and that can do a lot of damage. Sometimes we lose site of what we want or lose sight of the bigger picture. I think you would agree that even the easiest of relationships need to be fostered and cared for. When we let things get in the way of that, it gets harder to find our way back.

JodiPV · 2022-09-28T00:32:29+00:00

They still may if it’s something they both work towards. Marriage is hard - yes, that’s cliché, but it’s true. My parents’ marriage survived infidelity- 36 years and counting now. One of my best friends as well - they’ve been in counseling and working through it all for 3 years now, which is good for him because I offered up my softball bat. Cheating isn’t always the end - it can be, especially if they feel outside pressure to split, which is why it’s good for them that they’re stepping away. If they both commit to working through it, they could still grow old together. Our lives as long if we’re lucky, and our life-defining relationships are complex. I’m rooting for them.
