    I used to be the one trying to bump draft the slow people to speed up. Now I just say screw it and slowly speed up and then cruise just below the speed limit. I enjoy getting people's pressure up. If it causes you to be late. Leave earlier the next itme. Also get off my lawn.

    I hate you

    No more wipes in the desk for me. Portable bidet on the way.

    I'll be interested in your review.  I'm not ready to pull the trigger yet.  Also need a way to carry it at the office.

  3. Someone mentioned Sean McDonough and I owe that guy an apology.  I used to rail against him but then, one day, ESPN stopped putting him with Matt Millen.  Once that happened, I liked him  a lot better.  A lot of those guys are handicapped by working with a retard.

    Not really  PM worthy.  We've got a complex here in town in a decent area.  Maybe 50 units.  They''ve been co-op since day 1, and they are all cash-only sales now.  

    They've been trying to convert to condo for several years.  

    If I could get a lender to loan on those things, I could probably get a dozen listings in there. 

    Sent you a PM.

    That had to bring in an “expert” and we’re  looking at another 1-4 months of testing to determine if it’s ground water intrusion,  plumbing or both.  Once that’s determined it’ll take a few weeks to come up with a plan and another couple of weeks to complete repairs. They have aknowledged the problem, released the engineers reports and agreed to replace the floors. Some progress, but still a long ways to go. 

    In condo speed,  that timeline is a year.  At least they acknowledged the issue but sorry that you're going to be living with it for a while.

    This is still an ongoing issue. The HOA board and property management company have schedule a meeting  next week where I get to sit down with their engineers and counsel. Supposedly I’ll get copies of the engineers reports at this meeting. Should I bring a lawyer (I have one ready, but it’ll cost me a minimum of $2500)  or just go it alone? Maybe just hear them out and then laywer up if necessary?

    Any update here?

  7. I would go it alone.  Get copies of everything and then decide if you want to go to a lawyer instead of paying him to sit there.  Bringing an attorney to the meeting just seems like it will cost you money you don't need to spend.   I would guess the engineers will be providing the results of the test AND proposing a course of action for repairs. 

    My questions would be:

    1.  What is the cause?

    2.  How do you repair? 

    3.  Has the association approved repairs?  If not, when?  

    3.  How long will it take?

    4.  Who pays?  

    5.  Is the association filing a claim for the damages done to your flooring?  If so, there's a whole host of other issues that you may have to deal with. (like how will it be replaced, what will they replace it with, who will do the work, who will oversee the work)

    It might be worth looking into your Homeowners policy to see if you have loss of use coverage.  If you can't live or house tenants in the unit while they are doing work, you may be able to use that.  If you (or tenants) can't stay there and don't have that coverage, you're likely going to be out the cost of alternative housing.

    It's ADHD/Canada etc.... I just used all my negs on him. 

    I really want to go full Figurelli on the motherfucker. I know who he is, where he's worked, what his criminal history is, what he looks like etc...

    Permission from the mods to do so. 

    Hell, I may just get a website with his name in the URL ... something like XXXXXXXXXXXisapedophile.com   and post this asshole's pathetic history there. 

    Judging by a post on the APD board, is he is the same as the poster formerly known as Ray Pugh?

    A fun trip down memory lane:

     

    I wish there had been some video of this.  I'm not sure at what point in the game this photo was taken, but later in the game when it was apparent that we were going to get our ass whipped, this dumbass duck went and taunted Bevo some more.  I was cold and pissed and wanted nothing more in that moment than for that Bevo to react like the current Bevo did to Uga.  Had that been the same Bevo we have know, that duck would have been dead and there probably wouldn't be any live mascots at games so I'm glad now it didn't happen.

    Was about to post about the dark place that is consuming me... but after reading AnotherUTFan's story, I feel/sense he needs support and strength from us more at this time.

    Your kids need you no matter their age Hombre.

    Stay strong; let them see your emotions; compassion, strength, sorrow.

    I know you are saying this in a way to express support to AnotherUTFan right now but I'm going to use your post to make a point.

    One of the things we all have to be careful about is comparing what we are carrying to what others are carrying.  Right now, what AnotherUTFan is going through is a lot and someone might not feel compelled to share what they are carrying it because "it doesn't feel right "to complain about what I am carrying when you look at how much someone else is carrying."  The problem with this is there is always going to be someone carrying a burden and if you aren't careful, you never appropriately unload the burden you are carrying.  

    I think the purpose of this thread is for anyone to unload anything at anytime.  In addition, for every poster in this thread, there may well be 10-15 lurkers who get help by what people post. I brought it up here because it's something I've been told that I am guilty of and I try to continue to work on it.  I guess it something that was ingrained in me to consider that my problems could be trivial when compared to others so I shouldn't bring them up.  I've been told by counselors that me not sharing them is another way to not deal with them and hope they will just go away by themselves.
