What's everybody doing today?

[hiwall]

Nice day here today so wife and I took our tiny boat out on the local lake. Had a good time.

 

[Mr.Meer]

Found out more information today as to why I was denied on new apartment.
First is income restrictions:
Seems when I filled the initial application for the apartment.
I was told first and last month's rent.
Not 3 month's rent- didn't have enough saved. Strike 1
Number 2: I fought hard to be able to keep Strawberry.
Because she's my seizure dog.
Makes me a contrary tenant.
I don't rollover and play dead if something isn't right.
They don't want contrary tenants. Strike 2
Number 3: My credit score 18 months ago was considerable lower than it is now.
Which means somebody didn't recheck the credit score.
Brought that to someone's attention too.
Contrary tenant appears again. Strike 3.
Still won't get me an apartment, but at least now I know more of what's going on.
But the matter remains I don't want to stay here.
Neighborhood is going down hill faster than white on rice.
So hopefully I will find somewhere new to live before my paperwork expires 4 October 2020.
I was also told I was anti social.
I'm not anti social what I am is anti stupidity.
I don't party like no tomorrow.
I pay my bills promptly.
Usually I pay before they are due.
I'm clean, my house is clean.
Heck even my dog is clean.
I'm quite, don't bother people and don't want to be bothered.
My friend is holding his own.
But our unit's Honor's team has been alerted.
That's the call from Tenn. I got yesterday.

You have all requirements that there not looking for .

Jim maybe see if there’s a teen needing to earn some gas money by mowing the lawn- at least until you two are back on your feet.

And you all can laugh at me if you like, but I have a silly morsel of good news. I like almost all genres of music, but around here we have 5 country stations, 4 Mexican stations, 2 rap, 1 teeny bopper something noise, and the public broadcasting that will play classical from 9-4 with many interruptions promoting their liberal news programs. Yesterday I found a local classical music station that plays music and just has a 6pm news brief for 10ish min and I’m sure in the morning and top of the hour - quick news updates- totally doable. It’s so nice to be able to listen to the radio.

Mo, that dawn will kill all the fleas after you get her soaked, let her stay with it on 3 to 5 minutes. Rinse well it will kill them all. You said something about her rolling in something too yesterday. If you let her out by herself wet , just like my two girls they gonna roll trying to get dry. So I learn too let them do their peeing before bath then after bath I keep them in till there dry. If they need to go out I either watch them or take them on a leash. The scratching could be bites already received before bath. You were sad yesterday so didn't mention it to you.

She tries to lick the Dawn dish soap off.
She'll get another shower next week, cause she likes to roll in disgusting things.

Often lawyers offices have a shredding service and you might be able to just take it in a box to them (I imagine some lawyers offices are snooty about it.)
Also - was thinking exactly what Terri said - illegal to discriminate service animals.

When we are ready to shred think panel truck full x 4 at least.
Then why make me jump thru all kinds of hoops to keep her with me.
First she didn't meet weight limit.
So had her Vet suggest new diet and exercise program for her.
In June, Strawberry was a porker 28 pounds.
Now she's slim trim 18 pounds.
She's still over the weight limit by 3 pounds but we're still working on that.
I'm hobbling around on broken foot trying to get her down to the weight limit.
I'm making concentrated effort to follow their rules.
Strawberry's Vet had to sign paperwork that she was losing the weight.
We were working on the barking problem, Vet had to sign paperwork for that too.
Vet had to sign paperwork that she was current on all shots,medications.
Then my shrink and primary care doctors had to sign paperwork for her too.
I had to come up with 5 friends as references that weren't military.
Only people I know that aren't military are family.
Then people wonder why I don't play nice with others well.
I simply don't understand why I was denied.
I did everything they were asking of me.
Or was attempting to do everything they asked me to do.
But then deny the apartment.
So for they last 18 months have been for nothing.
Absolutely nothing.

Why because I'm ex military.

Anyhow I think 765 is a good credit score maybe?
I don't know what a perfect credit score would be.
Then have 18 more months of car payments.
Then will be debt free.
Just frustrated .

According to this article, anything above 720 is considered an excellent score, so you are in an excellent place! A perfect credit score is 850, and few have ever achieved that. The lowest credit score is 300.

The thing that helped improve my credit score was to put all of my bills on auto-pay. I haven't been late in paying a bill ever since. It is one less thing to have to think about.
https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/...score you,anything above 720 excellent credit.

Thank you Weedygarden for the information.

That is a possibility according to if they are libs or not.

 

[Weedygarden]

Thank you Weedygarden for the information.

You are welcome. When I think of where you are now, I remember a few times in my life when things were not working as they should. I think we all go through that. It is a rough patch and yes, it will pass, but for now, it is a tough spot. I will keep you in my prayers.

[Weedygarden]

I have a Craftsman cordless drill that is about 12 or so years old. Daughter got it for me for Christmas one year. It came with two 12 volt batteries. One of the batteries will not hold a charge at all, and the other one doesn't hold one for very long. I've looked for replacement batteries and have not had any luck. All Craftsman batteries are of a different design and are now 19 volt. Craftsman was sold at Sears stores, and we know they are mostly gone now. I saw that Ace Hardware carries Craftsman products. One of the clerks helped me and looked online. I think the design of my batteries are no longer available. I looked online and on Amazon. No luck.

Clerk at Ace did suggest that I check with Interstate Batteries to see if they can help me. That is my next course of action, to see if Interstate Batteries can help me.

Of course, I could get myself a new cordless drill, but mine is still in great shape, except for not being able to keep it charged.

 

[Mr.Meer]

Not sure just after reading your post of all you did , that's what came to mind.
I am not sure what their problem is.

Weedy, you’re an amazing gal. I’m sorry you had to go through those tough times. I too have been there. Perhaps it’s part of what makes us caring folks (probably several on this site). Hang in there Mo. One day at a time.

Look on the drill to see who made them.
Should be something besides craftsman.
Look for model number, vin number(yes tools have vin numbers too).
You should be able look up chargers under parent company.
Under the heading of replacement parts.

I have one about the same age and same issue with batteries. I figured it would cost more to replace batteries than to buy a new one. I thought if someone liked to tinker - change it to corded? Would be interested if you find a source though.

GOOD NIGHT ALL, hope tomorrow is a good day for all.

Q30. What happens if a person thinks a covered entity's staff has discriminated against him or her?
A. Individuals who believe that they have been illegally denied access or service because they use service animals may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice. Individuals also have the right to file a private lawsuit in Federal court charging the entity with discrimination under the ADA.


Q35. Do apartments, mobile home parks, and other residential properties have to comply with the ADA?
A. The ADA applies to housing programs administered by state and local governments, such as public housing authorities, and by places of public accommodation, such as public and private universities.

Why don't you post a couple pictures of the drill and batteries showing the label and connectors on the drill and the battery. Then people can keep an eye out for something that will work. The folks here seem more than willing to try to look out for one another.

But it still won't get me an apartment-contrary tenant.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Good morning all.
It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood-not.
Law enforcement pulled off a coup last night.
The people who wear law enforcement uniforms collected 19 illegals,5 druggies, 4 ladies and gentlemen of ill repute.
So the neighborhood is slightly more quite right at the moment.
But this an holiday weekend which I am dreading.
Because the idiots will be out in full force.
I'm still getting used to my new hearing aid.
It sometimes whistles in my ear and the pitch is high enough it hurts Strawberry's ears too.
Strawberry has been walked this morning.
We have practiced silent commands this morning.
We need to work on that one a bit more.
Will be going to Chamber of Commerece for legit list of landlords(no slum lords).
Yes even rural Missouri has slum lords.
Sipping coffee enjoying the silence, bird singing so far.

Good night, all!

There are people that will repair/rewind those batteries , to better than original.
I've had my 19v batteries redone at an interstate battery dealer somewhere in MO. Don't remember where.

Jim

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Thank you Weedy garden.

I am sorry everyone goes through rough patches.
But I also know the good Lord doesn't doesn't give us more to deal with than we can handle.
I know Jim is worried about him and Mrs Jim health issues.
If I could help them I would in a New York minute.
I also know frustration is dogging me at the moment.
And I have to work on patience because that's my weak spot.
If I have to stay here another year to save money to be able to move into decent safe place then I will.
It's not the end of the world.
It's a speed bump pot hole(crater) in the world called life.
Thank you all for letting me vent.
My dad suggested strongly that I rent a house.
Because I don't like neighbors that are too close.
Because I don't deal with stupidity very well.
And because I like my space, buffer zone.
And I don't have that here, my buffer zone.

 

[The Lazy L]

...But I also know the good Lord doesn't doesn't give us more to deal with than we can handle....

But it would be nice (sometimes) if God did think so highly of our abilities to handle it?

 

[Meerkat]

Because they either don't know the law or hope you don't.

Terri most low income living is rules an run by liberals and fact is they are racist and fact is whites need not apply, add to that being military which they also hate.
They are not kneeling, burning flags and blaming everything on the consevative American because they like the military.
