World War II Vet John Potter, 91, Faces Eviction by Daughter {AOL Real Estate}
Apr 29th 2013 5:16AM So the lawyer for the bitter daughter - Lorene Johnston - states that Jaclyn Fraley and the 91 year old World War II veteran John Potter (the daughter's Father who built the house) are trying to "stir up public sentiment for themselves"? Uh,...yeah - well seems like they're doing it too! Ya idiot. The man - HER OWN FATHER - built the house - is 91 YEARS OLD and he needs this stress in his life? Sweety - little miss "Kill Him Off" - it's not as though you'd have to wait long to have the house if ya'd just waited. But I hope the Court sees fit to wipe Ms. Cottrill's name off everything done already and all in the future for her father. The Court should be seeking what's in Mr. Potter's best interests since he not only served his Nation - but built the house the daughter supposedly grew up in keeping her abusive butt off the streets. Jaclyn should be instated as his guardian and power of attorney - have her mother the EVIL JANICE COTTRILL pay for all the lawyers and bills accrued for "eviction" and Zaleski Ohio should vote a certain judge out of office or otherwise get him dismissed after the Hell Mr. Potter has gone through because of this DEVIL of a Daughter - Ms. JANICE COTTRILL - so he might be able to live out his remaining days (may he outlive his daughter) in peace and to leave him be! Throw in a cease and desist 500 yard protective limit and bar her from anything possibly left from his life on earth. He's done enough for his evil spawn already!
Intricate Underground City for Homeless Uncovered In Kansas City, Mo. {AOL Real Estate}
Apr 9th 2013 10:55PM Good God in Heaven! You'd think this is the one and only place these people live. Or attempt to live. So many think "POOR" in the United States means shelter, food, cleanliness, Jesus and the ability to maintain in school and they have it ALL - to take over the World! "They just don't have cable, trendy clothes, McDonald's cheeseburgers, or computers or game stations. Why can't they BE MORE than others?" What IDIOTS the rich bastards are! Their idea of "charity" is helping a young stockbroker make his first million. I'm rich. I'm complete. I have everything or could buy everything anyone else has. I have structured what help is required to provide remedial needs - no, not like Warren speaks of what children can to with their extra dollars in the Stock Market - but access to higher learning - medical vaccinations, clinical care, dentists, eye doctors, vitamins, minerals, meals made when small bodies need them. Assets and inservices to TEACH the value of a dollar - Civics, how the World can make a difference for them and their families. Seen their interests and trained them in jobs/careers and hard work to get there. None of this handing a fish for a day and as the Bible tells the story of teaching one to fish. With that NEED satisfied, another can be taken on. It's HERE! Not a mile away from most. A pity and a shame. From digging in trash to get that piece of gristle to sharing what was earned with others. Mr.& Mrs. Gates desire to help Africa. Noble to be sure. But when I asked him, his wife, Warren and others there about their Home Nations,...they merely believed the functions of their Nations and the religious organizations - like before - would suffice now. Taken below, some met the "middle class" that used to be. Sick and in denial, they left. Well, my name may not remain after my work is done - but that's not why I'm doing it. Anyone who is FAR from those who - for photo ops or not - need. When a mother has no strength left to bury her child beneath a tree,...and she knows "Nature" will take care of her offspring now that it's passed, leaving the young one there, she takes up the cry and song in her heart to proclaim the love she held for that child.
It's nice that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation goes to Africa - and always seems to find calm and peaceful areas to care for children with full cheeks and run after balls kicked by another in their school wearing smiles from the lunch they were provided. CARE Ships used to do a great deal more. But, as one can detect early on - it's no wonder they don't partake of those areas where children cannot rise, learn, kick balls or even smile. Too depressing. Too far gone. Unworthy of the billions spent on,...? What? Mosquito netting? Schooling? Uniforms for school? Building the school when there are those who need a clinic built more? Children fighting WARS? Oh, gracious no - can't possibly go there! Alpha and Omega. I guess it's just well they begin and end with those most vital. They make the choice. Not God.
And as for Kansas City? OMG! They're ALL OVER the States and the United States. Children, women, and men need care and all I see are people on TV or in the papers or in the 3 Churches I go to ass they decry the needy overseas. Shunned by any and all as though lepers. Churches and religious organizations do not do what was once done. There's simply not the same amount of attendants and a church can be circumspect in their spending now after so much sinning, corruption, pedophilia and requiring a life so the priests can show their ability to maintain their surroundings. Perhaps with Pope Francis - may he live a long and capable life - this will change as the men running the Diocese do away with the trappings of wealth and "havings". May it be so - for the secular World cares not for the poor and addled. Which is far more the Pity on earth.

Soldier Brandon Weir Must Take Down American Flag, HOA Demands {AOL Real Estate}
Mar 1st 2013 12:31AM It's unfortunate that even if the HOA put in a new by-law that one could display the American Flag - they'd be accused of all sorts of discrimination. Even setting parameters like - it need be on a pole of this height, or on a davit from the porch of this length, cannot be displayed in any derogatory fashion (upside down, etc.) that a whole host of other's would want their nation of origin's flag must then also be allowed to be displayed. I agree with "Stanley Q" above. One need READ the HOA by-laws, understand them and if you need a lawyer to come explain them or their ability to enforce them question it THEN. Not after you've moved in thinking you'd change them later. Even if against State, Local or Federal ordinance - CHECK before signing on the dotted line. Due Diligence on the part of the buyer is a necessity - not a prerogative to do if you happen to "feel like it" that day. They've exercised their prerogative - now you need exercise yours PRIOR to engaging in a contract to live there.
Homeless for the Holidays: 'I'm Thankful for Life Itself' {AOL Real Estate}
Dec 23rd 2012 10:30PM Jane, I agree with your spirit. I have a place that has a half finished basement, access to bathroom, shower, kitchen, it's clean and has other small amenities like microwave/toaster oven. Indeed, understandings would need be made and after a time when they come to trust me and I come to trust them - I'd hope things would work out well. They can get back on their feet (if especially like Mr. Coleman has a goal their working towards), I've thought of our service personnel coming home and in need of a place to settle until they get themselves together. But there'd be hell to pay with City Ordinances and all. I've rented out the upstairs apartment (this is a duplex I own), but if they can make the place down here their own with a bed I have and dresser - several closets, cupboards, laundry in the next room and a locked closet there for some personal storage. It's better and safer than being on the streets especially in this winter weather - my 90 yr old grandmother used to rent rooms out to college kids in need of a place back in the day and my aunt and uncle lived on a farm with farmhands living in rooms/apts off the main house for years. I lived with other's in college to spread costs. For say $25/wk when they have a job or get some assistance they could stay for however long they'd like. With all sorts of fees, property taxes and other things going up - I'd hope it would be a case where we could help one another out. But indeed, I wouldn't have a clue how to go about it. I've looked on line for such case workers and organizations - but it seems the days of letting the person come over and decide for themselves (even under the table in terms of our strict codes) they would need have all manner of papers and organizations involved and pretty soon what was meant as a humane gesture turns into a never ending bureaucracy enough to put myself and anyone interested off the idea. They could fix it up how they'd like since I don't really use it too much except to get to the laundry - but I can go in the back door for their privacy and the door up here locks for them - so they'd have privacy that way too. Definitely a "step-up" from the heated sewer grates in Center City. I've got a lock on my bedroom door and a cute Boxer-Pitt that sleeps with me at night - so there are possibilities out there if folks just think of ideas to help someone else as you have. Good luck to you and anyone fortunate enough to be in a position to appreciate your goodwill and not take advantage of it.
A Solo Stroll Through Baghdad {Gadling}
Dec 17th 2012 1:14AM Indeed Bruce - many humans passed through or settled at this "Fertile Crescent" of life on there ways elsewhere - to and fro. Amazing all that could be found there. The history and archeological buildings and artifacts - from Pharoah's to the British to Saddam - wealth and power - so much squandered though. It's nice to read articles like this and hear of other's visits after so long restricted. Agreed, the religion that finally settled there - broken between the Houses of The Muslim Prophet and Familial declarations at the time of Mohammed's death is much as the Schizms in other religions monotheistically born from Abraham. That the Common Thread has not passed down as it had previously when Jew, Muslim, Christian feasted together for births (circumcisions), High Holy Days (Red Letter Days in the Catholic Church since), marriages, deaths of respected elders and the sharing of harvests and working together - is a shame. Being together against the enemies of all made them strong - but it wasn't to last as the very thing keeping them together was taken over by jealous zealots determined to increase their own power and have Nations in their own images - instead of those of their people. Unfortunate,...unforeseen at the time. And yet, we still suffer from it now even with greater understanding of the totality of the World around us.
A Solo Stroll Through Baghdad {Gadling}
Dec 17th 2012 12:57AM Michael - it's too bad you ran out of space! I'll check and see if you continued your missive below. But if you didn't - please,....do so. It's always interesting to learn first hand from others who've "seen" actual people of a Nation that have gone through much and hopefully have some of what they were denied for so long! OH, YES! I see where you continued! Thank you again!
Bat Infestation in Stone Mountain, Ga., Apartment Building {AOL Real Estate}
Dec 16th 2012 5:43AM There are many ways of enticing the bats out of houses, apartment buildings, townhouses, etc., and local or regional experts are available to help. They feel the cold coming on and want shelter. They aren't rats or mice or vermin - they're MAMMALS. You'd think someone in Atlanta would know that and offer assistance with that knowledge. There are vents to put over access areas. Em, a poster below mentions them. They work marvelously. Now they're small to be sure - but those folks are gonna catch a whiff of "dead" every so often because some idiot led them to ignorance. They may get weak and fall into furnaces or heating elements. Dead. But, that's not THEIR concern is it? One'd think with honey bee hives imploding the bats would've risen up in status since they pollinate at night and kill all sorts of bugs many times their weight. But, those mosquitos and flys don't bother no one do they? Enjoy your Holiday's! Citronella candles should be selling like hotcakes this year!
Biggest Homes in America: Feast Your Eyes on Some of the Most Massive Mansions on the Market {AOL Real Estate}
Aug 12th 2012 12:35AM The first house - the Louis XVIII - is very nice - but I'd like to have seen the front of it. The driveway and approaches. I'd also like to see if there were a library - or a room that could be created into a good library. It's odd - I don't normally like many of the homes shown - but this one - depending on the front et al., might be something to purchase for my daughter and husband depending on logistics and the above. Of course they'd probably hate it because I like it. But, maybe I can get someone other than I to "suggest" they look at it. Large enough - but small enough. I'd like them to fill it with grandchildren - but careers get in the way these days. I'd have little problem with husband staying home with someone to see to them while she's in NYC heading up her small boutique company - but I doubt they'd go for it. Some of the places they've picked out make me cringe. If the front or other things aren't to my liking - I'd have to dicker though, but $4.9 for what I hope for seems modest in that area. As with any house - I'd wonder what's wrong with it. I've always built my own - but sometimes it pays for intrinsic and surrounding benefits.
Squatters in Littleton, Colo., Couple's Home Refuse to Vacate Despite Judge's Ruling {AOL Real Estate}
Jul 31st 2012 5:11PM I wonder if the Romney's have the same trouble with all their house's when they're gone for month's on end?
