This Is Some Bull!!

  Hello all well here's the story of the bullcrap that's going on this week. First there is a new city law about using 55-gallon trash cans for recycle products. Normally in New York for recycling people would put their recycling trash in a plastic bag and set it out for garbage pick-up. But now our mayor needs money for the city. So, we have a new thing that you must put your recycling garbage in a 55-gallon bag with a lid on it. If don't do it you are fined $55 for the first time and $100 for the second time. That's crazy right. Our mayors logic is to control the rat population. My thinking is no matter what you do the rats were here before us and will be here after us. They always win. I myself will not be giving the city $55 for a trash can. What I will do is use some of my old trash cans that serve the same purpose to hell with NYC. They will try and fine you on everything next it will be the air we breathe or the sidewalks we walk on. I say it's already too expensive and now the city is just nickel and diming us to death.

Next Problem I got a buyer for my house first my real estate agent says he wants my rental house for the price I wanted. I run to my real estate lawyer and fill in some paperwork to start the process rolling. Then my real estate agent calls me back and says the buyers doesn't want the house. I say find next victim. Then a day or two goes by and the real estate calls me up and says the same buyer wants the house now. I told her if he changes his mind again, I don't want him has a buyer. He's not going to make me crazy with this back-and-forth stuff He wants the house one minute and not the next. I don't have time or patience for this kinda game.

It's getting cold in New York I like the cold but hate the part where it starts to get cold. So how has your week been?

Feeling Good!!

  Hello all well here's the story for the week, I feel good today and let me tell you why. First I found a buyer for my rental house. It's just the beginning stages and it could fall through but I have hope. My sprit was telling this the right price to sell it for.  So, fingers cross that things will work out. Can I tell you I get giddy when it involves money. (that's between you and me, Ok?) 

Also, my aunt who is having a family problem is finally let me help her with it after dozens of times refusing my help. Now she is asking for it which I don't mind she needs the help, and I enjoy helping people when I can and if I can.

The weather in New York has been so nice. in the (60's & 70's) I have been walking in the park and enjoying it. Before the horrible New York winters get here. Life is good right now and I am trying to take advantage of every blessing that I can get my hands on and be grateful for it.

                                 Well, that's my story for the week what do you think?

Really??

  Hello all well here's the story for the week Really!! My old real estate agent who listed my house last a visited me last week. To the house I currently live in. It was unexpected to say the least. He rang the bell, and I was surprised to see him because normally I would meet him at the house I was selling. He never came to my personal residence before which pissed me off  has well as shocked me. I never have or will invite real estate agents to my personal home. I don't want them to know where I live. That way they won't do what this real estate agent did and ring my doorbell uninvited. When I asked him why he was here. He told me he been calling me and wanted to know if he had the right number. I thought really my answering machine told you that you had the right number. I never returned the real estate agent's call because I was going with someone new when I relisted the house. Which I did. But the nerve of him coming to my place my residence without an invitation to see if he could get me to relist with him was a hell of a lot of nerve on his part. Besides that, he had the listing of my house for 6 months and still no buyers. It was time to give someone else a chance to sell it.

It's October and the weather in New York is beautiful. I've been walking and cleaning out my house.  I have to get Stanley Steamer to clean my carpets but for what I want they are asking $265 dollars. Not sure I want to pay that much for carpet cleaning even though the carpet would probably look and smell better. Then it does already. Have you used Stanley Carpet Cleaner what were your thoughts about them?

Family Visit

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. I am tired. I been cleaning since last Thursday. I kid you not. My mother came to visit me, and my house needed the cleaning. She stayed for a couple of days, and we visited family in the area. While she was here and shopped for the things she thought I needed for the house. Guess who paid for all that shopping? So, I have been running since last Thursday and today I finally get a break. I am glad she came nothing like seeing family especially if you haven't seen them in a long time. 

It's fall and cold in New York it's time to start thinking about getting ready for the upcoming holidays.  What I plan on doing is having a nice quite holiday like always. So far nothing special just been interviewing real estate agents. So I can finally sell my house and get on with my life. I interviewed 4 so far and they pretty much say the same things in different ways. One agent wanted to give me a class lesson on what she could do for me. When I asked her questions, she always said she's get to it and kept on talking. I was not feeling her at all. Interviewing real estate agents is not an easy thing.

I am on the no spending kick again in my mind I always feel I don't have enough money for retirement. Since I have medical bills that thank god. I have insurance for, but still, you never know a medical emergency can wipe a retirement saving out. That's what I am afraid of. Other then that. Things have been good thank god.

Things Have Changed

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. Yard sales and vendor events are not like they use to be. Meaning I went to 2 community yard sales yesterday and they both were selling junk for high prices. One community that was having yard sales was in a very nice arear and their yard sales prices reflected it. You would buy a used blender for $50 bucks? or a picture frame for $35 used did I mention. The other community yard sale had lower prices but still junk that you would find out of home goods store. As far as the street fairs they have more food vendors and craft tables that I can even mention.

I interviewed real estate agents for the house I'm trying to sell. Well, I started interviewing. So far so good hopefully I can get an agent by the end of the month. Since I want my rental house to be sold by the first of the year, because I refuse to pay any more property taxes on an empty house that I can't rent.

       Hope that your fall is looking good, and you are enjoying the nice weather we're having.

                                           Well that's my story what do you think?

Family

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. I went on a mini vacation first to Atlantic city and then to Cape May all while visiting family. Can I say we had nice days to do things in. Atlantic City well Hard Rock Hotel was nice, but they got me. Not money wise but food wise. I got a coupon for a free buffet on Tuesday.  Since the buffet at Hard Rock hotel and casino is $43.00 per person. That coupon would come in handy but the buffet closes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So why send me a coupon that states I can eat there on Tuesday? Also, you have to spend at least $5 gambling or no drinks. So free drinks are out. Besides all the room fees and charges. A complimentary room is really just a lower price room in my mind. I stayed 3 nights and one of the nights was completely free no fees nothing because I had enough comps to cover it. Overall, the 3 nights with one being completely free cost me $70 bucks not too bad. And I won some money enough to cover my expenses and then some.

Cape May was a cute town at the end of Jersey. Cute little shops and things. It mainly a weekend getaway with beautiful sandy beaches and over price stores and restaurants. It was nice spending time with family there. It was only a day trip but as long as you spend it with family who cares right.

Suprised!

 Hello Everyone, well here's the story for the week. I got a Suprise yesterday in the form of a $657.00 energy bill. I'm on the budget plan when it comes to my energy bill. So, every month I know what my bill will be which is about $240 a month. I know expensive right. Anyway, I get this extra energy bill sating that they under charged me on my level billing plan and since they under charged me I now owe them $657.00 for their error. What if I don't have that kind of extra money for them and also why should I have to pay for their error. When I got this bill, this depressed me for the rest of the day. I hate paying bills!

I am trying to save money for my vacation next year as well as downsizing my place. Every have just too much stuff that just sits around collecting dust? I got a place that will take all your junk no questions asked and I've been going there ever week giving them all my unwanted stuff. They are a god send because I have a lot of stuff to get rid of.

When did tires get so expensive? had two tires fixed at my gas station they charged me $400 for two new tires. I use to buy tires at Sears for $79 bucks back in the day, What happened?
