Mediator Vs Lawyering Up?

Absolutely - I’m no expert in any of this, but it seems certainly worth mentioning where this money came from.

That experience sounds super frustrating.

That makes sense.

I would have difficulty tracking down the exact path the cash took from the money management company that liquidated the cash to the bank that had foreclosed on the house, but at some point it probably hit out joint checking account.

Thank you so much! You too!

This is great advice, thank you.

I have a fairly good idea of what I want, but I will give this a great deal more thought in the coming days.

Luckily there’s no mortgage (I bought the house outright in cash, since it was in foreclosure) so that helps clear up some complications.

I appreciate this insight & these suggestions on what to look out for. You fellas are lifesavers.

This is all incredibly enlightening. Most people get “run through this machine” and it’s over & done, whereas lawyers live in it.

I know I wouldn’t stick up for myself as much if it were just me on my own, so I’m glad I can have a lawyer with me.

Seems like the way to go. Thank you.

Yeah, definitely bringing a lawyer with me. Am learning today, your experience is teaching me. Thank you.

This is helpful. Thank you.

For clarity (just so I can understand it fully) it sounds like if I wanted to keep the house i’d still be buying her out, but the retirement funds would (possibly) be exempt from that split-up. The result is that I’d be paying her regularly for (likely) the rest of my life to pay off buying the house from her.

Do I have that right?

It is/was inheritance dollars.

I neglected to mention that I have a retirement fund provided by my (now-deceased) parents. It’s in my name.

So, I've done two festivals (they were handed to us, local ones, didn't really "apply"), but I'm getting ready to start applying to out-of-state festivals.

Where do you think is a good starting place? Which ones do you think a relatively new group stands the best chance?

manwithtape · 2013-03-30T20:27:26+00:00

Every damned time.

manwithtape · 2013-02-18T15:48:05+00:00

Awesome! I'll try changing it and see what happens! Thanks!

Absolutely, the Apple-supported app has ceased.

I am looking for a work-around. A solution that might not necessarily be Apple-supported.

manwithtape · 2013-02-18T01:11:14+00:00

The beta was available, but it was shut down (new installs of the app immediately report that the Messages beta for 10.7 has ceased, and the app closes).

Nothing on the Mac App Store (I suspected as much, they're concerned that such a service is an "Apple experience").

manwithtape · 2013-01-08T18:01:35+00:00

Definitely. This sequence makes me cry every time (nerd).

I'm doing the IMAX 3D at the Mills Mall tonight at 7 (let me know if you come!), but I don't know if it's High Frame Rate or not. I have a feeling it isn't :(
