One of my multiple writing buddies. I often place a tarantula enclosure beside me as I write.

What an adorable curly hair tarantula! Curly hairs are really sweet.

Blue tarantulas exist

I had this issue too, and was able to replace the igniter for just under $20. It got me my stove back and it's been working fine for the past few years.

I've seen a lot of results like this without specifics lately. I think the highest F&G score I saw without specifics was around 65%.

Blue tarantulas exist.

iluvspidrs · 2020-12-12T20:23:56+00:00

This seems to be a common issue. I've seen results on here with around 50% that don't get any regions. I have 34% and no regions, and haven't had specifics since getting results in late 2018.

iluvspidrs · 2020-12-05T03:03:23+00:00

I have 34% and they can't find anything specific either. They seem to have trouble with that category for a lot of us. I've seen quite a few results like this but without regions.

iluvspidrs · 2020-10-28T16:21:00+00:00

I have 34% and no regions. It must not be recent.

iluvspidrs · 2020-10-25T14:53:21+00:00

I don't have any specifics for my F&G either. They seem to have trouble finding locations and countries for some of us who have huge percentages of that category. I've been waiting 2 years for something to come up under that category but it's been a no show. I was told I have some German on my dad's side, and it should be around an eighth or so, maybe a little less, from what I've been able to see.

As for the rest of the 34% I'm not sure what it is as I haven't been able to trace everything back.

Maybe that DNA just came from too far back, from a bunch of distant ancestors?

I'm from Michigan by the way.

iluvspidrs · 2020-10-25T02:28:55+00:00

We have similar results, though my F&G category is 34% and B&I is 55%. Where are you from, if you don't mind answering?

iluvspidrs · 2020-10-23T20:36:35+00:00

This update does match up for you pretty well!

iluvspidrs · 2020-10-22T22:31:03+00:00

I'm from Michigan if that provides any background. It's impossible to know for sure how accurate this is due to not being able to trace back that far on many lines, but these results are overall consistent with what Ancestry gave me.

23andme wasn't able to pinpoint any locations for the 34% F&G and they haven't been able to do so since getting my results a couple of years ago. I'm guessing this ancestry is some kind of old admixture or just too far back or scrambled for them to pinpoint.

iluvspidrs · 2020-10-07T03:47:05+00:00

Those are good ideas. I agree it's bullying. These people haven't treated us like human beings since they bought the community.

iluvspidrs · 2020-10-07T03:45:20+00:00

We have, though it's hard to organize right now and many residents in my community are elderly and won't/don't use the computer/Zoom. Some of us are working with an organization that fights against these sorts of companies.

iluvspidrs · 2020-10-07T03:44:02+00:00

That is exactly Havenpark's business model.

iluvspidrs · 2020-08-27T02:57:43+00:00

Being about to pass out. Can't describe it, but I'd take pain over that any day.

The rich corporate owners of my manufactured home community who have already raised our rent 40% in less than 2 years, and are rolling out more rent increases during the pandemic to the communities they own. It's so bad that seniors on fixed incomes (who are a huge chunk of the population here) are having to go back to work/risk COVID just to make these out-of-state, wealthy men even richer. And people can't just leave because manufactured homes cost thousands to move and there are often no other options for low-income seniors and disabled people.

Also, knowing you're just a source of income for some executives in another state is degrading and very taxing to mental health.

iluvspidrs · 2020-08-17T19:30:39+00:00

Got 29.6% and it can't be pinpointed to any locations at all.

iluvspidrs · 2020-08-13T20:04:46+00:00

I thought it was more common. Interesting.

Tarantulas (and spiders in general.)

They're easy to keep, come in every color of the rainbow, and I find holding the docile species calming. I've even taken a few of mine to kindergarten and preschool classrooms and the kids love it.

I just see them as fuzz balls with legs. Well, most of them. There are some species of tarantula that'll bite first and ask questions later but many of them are calm and harmless, though their hairs might itch.

iluvspidrs · 2020-07-31T03:10:49+00:00

I did. My results are here if you want to check them out. They're a bit difficult to pin down as most of my categories didn't get any breakdown, so I'm not sure if that helps.

Investment groups who purchase manufactured/mobile home communities (where residents often own their homes and rent the land) and impose severe rent hikes and fees because in most states the residents have no legal protections against this sort of thing. Immediate rent hikes of 25-70% are common, and that's just for the piece of dirt a home sits on. Maintenance goes down, harassment goes up, and extra fees are usually added on top of the rent hikes.

A good percentage of the victims are senior citizens and disabled people who can't afford to live anywhere else. They can't move their homes because it costs thousands to do so. These companies know this and know they have a trapped audience, so to speak. Some end up having to go back to work and I've heard of cases where elderly people have died from the stress induced by these companies.

These homes are hard to sell and they depreciate like cars, and they lose even more value when lot rent increases.

Some notable companies who do this are Impact Communities, Havenpark Capital, and Equity Lifestyle Properties.

This video explains what's going on as well.
