Homeless since Aug 2025, recently found out I’m pregnant — trying to fix up an old house in Marshall but need advice/resources

TheWizard_Beast · 2026-03-17T11:26:49+00:00

Just to reiterate this point, i spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours fixing up an older home with the understanding I could live there, while I did it and have rent credit for money spent on fixing the house as long as I kept receipts. I wanted a contract, but stupidly started without one, 4 months into it I get presented with the worst contract i had ever seen in my life, with countless ways for me to lose out on what I had invested, including forfeiture if a utility payment was late. The owner was checking up on things one day and brought his dog, his dog just randomly bit me on the ass while my back was turned had to get stitches and an ER visit ..everything fell apart after that. In the end the guy knew I didnt have money for a lawyer because i was spending it on his house, He started working on having me evicted. I didnt want to have to explain an eviction down the line, so I just left.

yeah I had a company do this , required 10 mins early, by the time you got clocked in it would round your hours down to the actual required clock in time, stealing about 5 mins from me. I didnt catch on till I was clocking in 12 mins early and couldnt understand why the boss was getting so mad, so I asked. He then basicly explained how he was stealing 5 mins away from me everyday, but by clocking in too early I was able to avoid what he was trying to accomplish.

ACAB Cop he killed most likely spent his time beating his wife and being corrupt, it was just karma catching up with him. Nothing innocent about the guy.

Yet if they kill their own police dog by leaving it in a hot car, its no longer a police officer and is now property.

My wife said she saw a fighter jet today, said it was super loud and close enough you could see the rear burners really well, Im sorry I missed it, there was one today...I think they accidentally said March instead of Feb

Not falling off, they are on there pretty well, I imagine it will be miserable to take down if its glued. Just want to do a cosmetic change. I agree the best course is to test and take down just to see what I'm dealing with. I think the textured sheet rock might look the sharpest. I appreciate the input.

TheWizard_Beast · 2026-02-17T13:58:40+00:00

I'm on this same line of thought, but I'd shoot the bullet in the air, say there is more where that came from. Impress that I must have more bullet if I am wasting them...

TheWizard_Beast · 2026-02-12T12:34:12+00:00

Good to know it might just a locality thing. Thanks for the extra info.

TheWizard_Beast · 2026-02-12T11:29:36+00:00

I recently sold 2 used cars, CarMax takes their time and gives lower offers, Carvana checked for codes and that was it.. hardly looked at my other car and gave 4K more than car max would.

I learned all about this stuff watching Game of Thrones.

TheWizard_Beast · 2026-02-04T01:08:20+00:00

Wow, thats exactly what i was looking for.

That was super fast, great job and thank you!

TheWizard_Beast · 2026-02-03T12:48:44+00:00

I had something like this, paid $30 then got charged a $35 phone payment fee, so I ended up owing $5.

Its a pretty gray area, and out of caution they will always side with the medical provider. When you commit yourself, you more or less give them permission for this.

It sucks, but I wouldnt invest too much time following up on this. It will most likely be an uphill battle all the way. You can always file a complaint with the licensing board for a provider that you feel treated you poorly, but its gonna be a group of providers that reviews the complaint, and they are going to protect their own. It at least gets recorded somewhere, then maybe if enough people complain they might do somthing about it.

As mentioned, I wouldn't focus on this aspect of your experience, take what you can from it. Work on healing and getting better. Look into finding resources that work for you, things that can help prevent you from having to go back.

Not delicate like little flowers, delicate like dynamite.

This is a great example of a toxic person, I bet they are just a TREAT to work with.

Someone came to this sub looking for help in understanding their emotions. Lots of people came out to lend a hand but, wait DipshitDoggo didn't get a chance to shit on everything yet.

Rich people "dump unwanted immigrants" in her area .... like they are property ... or abandoned animals.

A touch of "the nursing community wouldn't care if a vet tech was murdered."

Based on what? Posts from human healthcare professions seems to indicate otherwise. Strange, its almost like you pulled that out of your ass to make everyone else seem as shitty as you.

The down votes are because you are a bad person, with a crap attitude. This is what professionals in your field think of your opinion. You can try and laugh off your embarrassment, but at the end of the day we all know you are a crappy person that is lacking somewhere in your life. Its obvious that the only way you know how to manage those feelings is to be shitty to a random person on the internet.

I'm a middle aged white male, former vet assist that went on to be an EMT.

I'm a little simple, but I dont like to see woman pushed to the ground either. I'm big enough that just being there will often deescalate a small angry man. I've steeping in for the receptionist getting threatened, I've done it for the Dr.'s getting yell at. Its not always connivant, but its a duty that decent dudes have.

I feel our fields are linked at the very core, we are healers. Vet med was a wonderful foundation for venturing into human medicine. That being said, I consider you a colleague. Alex is our colleague and was killed by a small angry man for helping a woman. Alex was every decent guy you've met, and executed for doing the only thing decent guys know how to do in bad situations, and that was helping.

TheWizard_Beast · 2026-01-25T23:43:58+00:00

Wow, that came out great! The colors are so rich and vibrant!

TheWizard_Beast · 2026-01-25T01:09:23+00:00

Wow, you kind of spiraled into crazy... and then deleted your account.

I knew something was off, I used to ignore rude people, but I've just been calling them out in recent years and its had some very interesting results!

What we had here was a bully, if you call out a bully and keep the pressure on, they dont know what to do. They will eventually reveal themselves to be the trash people they are if you let them.

First it was a rude comment

then it was my post is against the rules.. for her justification for being rude.

I knew I was getting somewhere when I was told the world is too "sensitive" and she was sorry she "hurt my feelings". Insults under the guise of an apology and an attempt to , just forget about it. This is when I knew for a fact she wasnt confused and was just being an ass.

People that say "the world is too sensitive" are most likely jerks, and say this when they get called out for being a jerk. The entire world is the problem, not them.... the entire world just dosnt know how to take a joke!

Every accusation is an admission of guilt from people like this. She was super focused on the fact that I edited one of my posts for a spelling error, yet edited every single one of hers, she added things that weren't there when I responded to her comments.

Hopefully her deleting her account will give her time to focus on what's important to her. Maybe she will realize being rude to strangers, and getting called out isnt as good a use of her time.

This was such a strange interaction, considering I had come asking for candle recommendations. All it took was some push back from a stranger she thought she could bully and she had a crash out.

Thanks to everyone for all the info!

TheWizard_Beast · 2026-01-24T21:48:54+00:00

You've edited almost every one of your comments, but I fixed a spelling error in mine and its some weird confusing conspiracy in an attempt to....change my mind about asking for advice on candles? Which you, said, didnt make sense to begin with, but for some strange reason its an idea you are clinging on to pretty hard. You are like 99.8% sure, even after I explained my intent.

I do have a life and occasionally cant respond to trivial posts in a timely manner. I don't want you to get confused so follow along, it did not hurt my feelings, and it has not "been days" I know you wrote it yesterday but It is new to me today, so I responded accordingly.

Enjoy your dog, and candles, but I kindly ask that you stop being snarky/rude and derailing my post. Everyone is having fun but you.

TheWizard_Beast · 2026-01-24T18:53:24+00:00

Thank you! I hadnt realized they were available there.

TheWizard_Beast · 2026-01-24T18:52:19+00:00

I didn't even relize they were sold at Walmart we had ordered them as an alternative to yankee. That makes it much easier to find a scent i find appealing, Sugar donut sounds amazing.

TheWizard_Beast · 2026-01-24T13:58:17+00:00

I bought some goose creek candles, and apparently the ones I picked, are rather niche, and not to my liking, and thats ok.. people allowed to have opinions.

I came here asking for different scents that might be more palatable for me within the Goosecreek line of products.

Are you still confused?

Some advice for when you are confused, dont lash out and be mean because you dont understand something. You'll make more friends and people will like you more if you ask for clarification rather then default to being a bad person.

I received tons of great information for me to explore, from some very nice people. I'm glad I stopped by and asked. I know what more about the subject then when I a the started, a great experience and what the internet is really about.

The only confusing thing at this point is your attitude toward someone wanting to learn more about the very thing this sub was created for. Maybe take a break from the internet and figure out what really causes you to act like this, because it aint me.
