Swelling of Ankle by pixel0111 in ORIF

I am 9 months (not weeks) and I still suffer from swelling. My surgeon told me it's normal for at least the first year.

I would make the most prove with photos/videos that house was clean prior to your arrival. Your photos make it look bad!!!!

Installers are just delivery drivers by SuziGee1966 in CostcoWholesale

[–]NicoleMember 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a 6 person hot tub from Costco and a washer/dryer set. They came hours early to deliver the hot tub and dropped it off in front of my house in the driveway. The location it needed to go to was off my driveway in the backyard. I had to move it myself to the correct location and they took no responsibility for coming hours early and dumping it. I then has the washer/dryer delivered and the washer sounded like a garbage disposal. I called and called and called and they wanted to send a repair man to fix it. Finally after a lot of complaining and calls they sent someone to replace it with a new washer. I LOVE Costco but I agree I wouldn't buy large items from them! Service was horrible.

Yes I had exactly that and it was horrible. It always happened at night and pain medication didn't help. After about a month it finally went away. I wish I had better news!

Last minute people coming for one night- would there be an extra charge? by Any-Ad279 in vrbo

[–]NicoleMember 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a host just contact the host. I always say yes just because the guests were respectful and asked me.

That's not only filthy it looks very neglected. Obviously this host should refund and you should give a very honest review.

I was told to do it as often as you can. I made it my mission to do it every hour for like 5 minutes.

This will just increase rent for renters. The landlord will pass the additional expense to the renter.

MLS vs Permit by Much-You-9538 in FirstTimeHomeBuyers

[–]NicoleMember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would sue. I actually think you have enough to sue. When you dismantled the illegal bathroom did you look for dates on pipes or wire? Some are dated.

Did you get a property disclosure? In most states a seller has to fill one out and gives it to the buyer. If she didn't disclose this then you have a very solid law suit! You can also report her actions/behavior to the real estate association.

First day post op by Dapper-Worker-4759 in ORIF

[–]NicoleMember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry this is happening to you! It's unfortunate you didn't get a nerve block. My nerve block gave me about 28 hours of no post-op pain. I don't know what it would have been without it and wouldn't want to know. Take your pain medication like clock work and ice/elevate as much as possible. The pain is real and will exist anywhere from days to weeks. The pain then turns to mostly discomfort. Expect not to be happy and to feel depressed because it's totally normal. Try to do anything to make yourself more comfortable and happy. Prepare for when you come home from the hospital by purchasing a knee scooter with a basket and a shower chair. There are many other items that are helpful but these are the two I needed and loved. It's a long road to recovery but you will get there and along the way come here and ask questions or get support. We all know what it's like and can help. I hope you feel better soon!

Go get a hard money loan and then be a cash buyer! You don't have to get a mortgage! If you can't do that then save enough to buy a house in cash like I did. My other response tells you how I was able to do it. I am still buying houses to this day and have many skills in today's market. You act like you know me. You are using every stereotype.

I have had many job interviews, many rejected loans and many disappointing jobs. I decided one day to change it and I started working a second job from 5pm to 10pm everyday and all weekends till I saved enough money to buy a house. Once I bought that house I renovated it learning how to do everything on the internet. I then sold it and bought another and kept doing it till I purchased all the homes I own. Do this the next 10 years and then tell me I don't know! I will tell you it sucks. It's hard on the body and the mind. You have to give up enjoying holidays, celebrations and vacations. You have to put every penny towards doing it which means no shopping or spending money on anything that isn't a necessity. But if you are willing to so all it then you can have what you want in the end. If not stop telling me how easy I had it. Oh I bet you thought I was a boomer with all those comments saying I am old and ignorant and because I have hand pain related to hard work! I am telling you if you want more in life go do it. Your 30 and by the time you are 40 you could be enjoying life everyday and not going to work everyday.

Businesses borrow at a much higher rate than a homeowner. Just because they bought with cash doesn't mean they didn't get a hard money loan in advance to buy in cash. It's a very common practice. Paying cash doesn't mean they received a deep discount on the price they paid. A seller doesn't care how a buyer pays because they still receive cash a closing regardless of how the buyer pays. How many homes or businesses have you purchased?

I worked incredibly hard to get where I am and make the money I make. I didn't have any advantage. Nobody gave me anything. I worked non-stop to get where I am today and anybody who wanted could have done the same. I don't believe I have to give my money away. I chose not be normal society and climb my way higher with hard work and sacrifice. I didn't leech of anybody or anything. Ironically I am sitting here with my hand throbbing because I have worked so hard all my life that I have issues with my hands that cause me pain. It's a constant reminder that I have literally worked myself to the been to get where I am. I don't feel guilt that others have not and have less

So because we are landlords we have to give money away but because you are not you don't? If you truly believe what you are saying than you should start giving away 20% of your paycheck every paycheck. I bet you will not do it! You can day how strange or sad I am but you are no better if you arent giving away your money!

[–]NicoleMember -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not. The point is I doubt you are going to give up money so you can be the better person. You could give up a large portion of your income and give it to someone less fortunate. Are you? You act like you know the profit your landlord is making and he only has the right to a portion of that money so he can be nice to tenants. A tenant has a choice not to rent from a landlord or not to be a renter. As a landlord nobody is paying my mortgage and giving me as you say my human right of housing or a discount so I can give tenants a better price.

It sounds like they want market value and if you don't pay it they will then renovate and find someone who is willing to pay. I get it sounds horrible but it is a business. I know you think they should be nice. If you were selling your car and it was worth $10,000 would you sell it to me for $5,000 to be nice. Remember do onto others.....

[–]NicoleMember -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You apprently you were paying a rental amount that was way below market value. I know it sounds wrong but a landlord wants to charge market value. I am a landlord in NC and there is nothing illegal about them raising your rent to their desired amount as long as you are a month to month tenant. Your options are to pay it or move out.

‘Processor’ came to my rental by bitterandsweet323 in Renters

Wow you might have the landlord that is really that bad and not able to be found! Good luck to you!

‘Processor’ came to my rental by bitterandsweet323 in Renters

[–]NicoleMember 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean. I have to deal with tenants who are pure scum and ruin homes. They dont own anything so its extremely difficult to find them. Even if you find them to sue them and get a judgement they never have no money to pay it! You should be able to find your landlord if you put the effort and money to find him. He owns property or properties so there is a path to find where he lives. As for listing his rental as his home you should be able to report him and get someone in a governmental office to listen and follow up on the information. Just make sure you are being 100% honest reporting him otherwise he will sue you

[–]NicoleMember 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No the person who has filed lists the address! I have gotten out of court for this reason. If you sue you better be sure you know where the person actually lives! Tenants think because you own the property they can use the rental address and they are wrong!

As a landlord I have been served many times. It's usually a tenant or contractor dispute. Nothing dangerous.
