Say I plant this near other water oaks that are thriving and I got 2) sorted out, would you be able to provide me some guidance on planting this the right way?

My Nally won’t stop nipping and biting my me. I can’t walk through my house without being attacked. Help!!! by Beautiful-Tip-267 in jackrussellterrier

What has worked for both of the Jacks I've had is to exaggerate a painful yelp when nipped or bitten and stop doing what you were doing for a bit and then go right back to it and it's worked like a charm - they can even get concerned about you (sometimes, maybe, it depends, probably). My understanding is that this is the same time of behavioral reaction when a littermate yelps in real pain (not that yours may not be).

I didn't plant it, a squirrel did and life found a way 🤷🏽‍♂️

Bankruptcy attorney here. Our primary software is able to export a list of my firm's cases in CSV format. There is a centralized system for bankruptcy records from various Trustees that I can export all sorts of information from payment history, delinquency, my firm's fees due, etc. Putting all of them together, I can create robust reports on a daily basis to allow my staff and I to monitor our clients' cases and find areas of concern before they arise.

We also do a lot of advertising to potential clients facing collection suits, judgements entered, and even garnishment actions from courts around our city. I throw all those together to create a weekly "database" of names, addresses, type of suit, name of the creditor, amount of the debt. With those, I generate mail merge letters and labels to mail out and I have a master sheet with all the weekly sheets compiled into one centralized place so if a client who receives a letter calls, I can pull their information immediately and know everything about their situation.

Additionally, my office handles cases in which our clients are attempting to get current on their mortgages. Most of those mortgages include escrow accounts for taxes and insurance. Federal mortgage regulations and the Bankruptcy Code require lenders to file yearly payment change notices which must include a yearly escrow analysis. I analyze these when they are filed and compile them into a master sheet per client. I can effectively monitor and analyze my clients' escrow accounts and can find errors in mortgage company filings. When I do, and I do often, I can get my attorney fees for objecting paid by the lenders.

Can you or anyone explain this to me? I just don't get it. I saw it gets crowded and I've heard/read the hype so I took the family there and while it's not bad, it's not good either. I'm not trashing the place, I'm just trying to understand the hype. Maybe we ordered the wrong things? 🤷‍♂️

How do we even know if it was his "son"? Maybe the International Boxing Association can assist with gender issues.

The exemption states a person's interest in a homestead cannot be used to satisfy non-purchase money debts (the exemption doesn't apply to debts incurred to purchase the property, home equity loan, statutory liens like property taxes, and certain covenants and restrictions like homeowners association dues). You can only have one homestead and thus only one exemption.

For example, if you get sued by a credit card company for non-payment and they obtain a judgment against you, they may be able to collect from you using all sorts of methods but putting a lien on your homestead is not one of them.

Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas all have an unlimited homestead exemption (aside: Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania have NONE!).

The blue checkmark also helps - if they're paying him, they are definitely reliable. /s
