I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Sucks. Welcome to yet another reason to own a place rather than rent, esp. after you have kids.

Depending upon how tenant friendly your state is you could probably drag out an eviction for six months without too much trouble.

Definitely! When we moved from Ohio, we couldn't sell our place so we rented it out. We were hoping to put it on the market in April 2014 and maybe turn it around fast enough to buy the place we were in. Ah well. Running the numbers, we can't quite afford to buy a new place here in WA until we sell the property in Ohio. So we're kinda screwed till next year. Thanks guys. |

Check your lease. Does she have the right to show it during your occupancy up to October?
If it's not in the lease that you have to vacate, then just don't allow it. Also, it's a good reminder that verbals mean jack shit in real estate. Always paper or email. Always.

Yes on both. Stated in the lease she has to give two days notice to inspect the property and only one day notice to show to prospective buyers. We also have the property manager's email stating her intent to renew the lease in October.
What we discussed in email was that the owner was interested in selling, but wasn't ready to sell until March. So we were supposed to sign a new 5 month lease in October that would allow her to put the house on the market in March, at which point we would go month to month if we wanted to stay. All that is in writing, but it's not a contract or a lease.
We're waiting to hear if we can break our current lease if we find a new place before October. Having a bunch of people tromping around our house when we're at work does not sound like a great time, not to mention I'm not sure how they're going to show it when we have a German Shephard and three cats that we don't crate all day. It's going to be an interesting experience for everyone.

I can't imagine in what strange bizarro world I would try to sell and show a house with tenants living in it. I hope for your sake they don't have any illusions about you prepping the house for showing in the way someone who owned it would.

Yeah, most tenants are not going to show off the best side of a piece of property, which makes me wonder if the owners aren't having financial difficulties.

I've been a tenant in a place that was being shown for sale, and I've looked at places that were currently occupied. In all cases the stench of financial desperation wafting off the owner was palpable.

How's the internet out in BFE?
Not the 20mb connection I have now, but at least it's DSL. No internet would have been a dealbreaker. |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

Look up the tax records, see when they bought. "ooh, 2004, whoopsie!" |

Sometimes my sister does that fruit/veg juicing purge thingy. She complained that her bananas were always going soft and icky before she could use them all because she didn't need the entire banana for her smoothies. She decided that the solution was to buy tiny bananas, which are so fucking cute especially when you hang them from those banana hanging watchamadoohickies. So there's about 30 of them on a branch and now, instead of two big rotten bananas, we have 20 tiny rotten bananas. My conclusion is that it's annoying and doesn't work and there are people in the world who really want some bananas and don't have any at all.
Just needed to vent that.

Put them in the fridge when they get very ripe and make banana bread with them later. Or freeze them for smoothies.

Both excellent suggestions. Wife Unit makes some rather stunning Banana bread out of Bananas that would be extras in a great many horror movies.

Freezing them makes way too much sense! Never even occurred to me. I get my smoothies on the outside, man! |

How can people not use an entire banana in a smoothie? That's how you get the right consistency! This monkey does not approve of letting bananas rot.
I buy strawberries, and blueberries from costco. I slice the tops off the strawberries and freeze them in gallon bags. The blueberries I wash in the plastic pack they come in then freeze them in that. Both will last for a while, and when mixed with skim milk, almonds and a fresh banana make a great smoothie. I like to also add splenda.

This - I use one banana a smoothie for breakfast most days. Although, mine are weird smoothies - I start with frozen broccoli, add a bunch of leafy greens, a splash of pom juice and half a banana. Mix that up. Then I add assorted frozen berries (straw, rasp, blue) and the remainder of the banana, blend that up. No sweetener needed, no yogurt or other artificially sweetened stuff and it's easy to drink on the way to work. Most probably wouldn't like the broccoli grit though, but that doesn't really bother me. The husband claims it tastes like a V8 or something, but I've never had that before. |

She makes hers with calories in mind at the moment. I plan to make bread with them which is what I do with left over bananas unless I make muffins instead. As for freezing them for her smoothies... what a good idea! I rarely eat bananas or drink smoothies so I didn't think in that direction. Thanks!

Unless you buy organic. Then slice into your strawberries first to make sure no spiders are living inside...

I just wanted to add a random thought here. Fuck lightning. House got struck the other night and it ruined a bunch of shit. My insurance company is being shitty about it.
- Computer fucked, though I blame myself. It had a shit (i.e. low joule) surge protector.
- Garage door opener fucked.
- Refrigerator fucked
Fortunately my TV and stereo had a good surge protector. I keep my stereo on a conditioned line to minimize noise.

One of my buddies that is an orthodontist in Kentucky just had his entire office burn down because of lightning. Overall you sound pretty lucky, to be honest, that you didn't have more severe damage.

Sorry to hear that, Nebu.
But speaking of surge protectors and such, anyone happen to have an idea of why my UPS has taken to just putting out a high pitched alarm when the power goes out? It didn't used to do that and to get the alarm to stop, I have to turn the UPS off and then back on. This happens even when the power just flickers and comes right back on.

Then I checked the weather and... it is.

It was "hot" until the storm rolled in. I put hot in quotes cause 27C is not hot.
