| Topic | What are some issues that will probably come up if you win the lottery? |
| wolfy42 01/19/18 3:59:36 PM #23 | It's actually true that many people get severely depressed (not always right away) after they literally have nothing left to aim for. Winning the lottery gives you access to anything you want in life. This can actually have a reverse effect and cause you to become depressed, which often leads to blowing the money and then, even worse, you end up running out of money and have to go from a lavish lifestyle with everything you want, to broke, which is far worse then never having it all. Now there are solutions that can give you a very happy life. Find a cause, even if it's just a school that you start, and hand select great teachers that you work with etc, and focus on that. Live a good, comfortable life, but don't blow the money and don't just buy everything you could ever want. Focus on finding good people to work with, and have in your life, and being happy. You don't need millions to do that, but it will sure expedite the process, and you will have the ability to help the good people you find, and ensure things actually work out (which is not usually the case). If I won the lottery I would do a few things like that. I wouldn't try to save the world, it's too big, and my money would barely make a difference. I would try and make a difference in good peoples lives, spend my time and money building up people and giving those who have the motivation and desire to make the world a better place. I would find a few great people to work directly under me, looking for other people who can make a difference and then we would provide them with the means to do so. That would be rewarding, and would be a great use of the money. --- "Dogs smell like they've had too much fun and need a bath Cats smell like espionage" - Mead |
| Topic | Which is worse for you, drinking soda or smoking cigarettes? |
| wolfy42 01/19/18 3:53:36 PM #146 | There are instances where soda could indeed be healthy, that is never the case with cigarettes. How you ask? Simple, you are dying of thirst, have searched anywhere for drinkable water and can find none. If you don't drink something within the next few hours your toast. You find some Soda. In such an instance your choice is to drink the soda, or die. Soda is therefore, healthy for you. Yes, this is only the case in extreme circumstances, but it is a possibility. Meanwhile smoking a cig, might let you do a stealth mission (Metal gear), or start a fire (tons of movies), but it won't ever save your life, or make you more healthy over all. Although....... What if there was poisonous gas in the air, and the only way for you to breathe it was through a cig filter?....nah...there would always be a better way, and you can't breathe the smoke anyway, so it wouldn't count. So yeah, Soda has to potential to be healthy, it is just not healthy compared to water, or if you drink it on a regular basis. Sorry, I just love taking the opposite side of arguments. --- "Dogs smell like they've had too much fun and need a bath Cats smell like espionage" - Mead |

| Topic | omg the new owner of the house im renting is mailing a 30 day notice to vacate |
| wolfy42 01/18/18 11:11:20 PM #110 | Jen0125 posted... i am going to at the very least not move unless i receive: Hope I'm not giving too much advice, let me know if I am. I would suggest stating just a flat figure that you consider fair for you to move, and let him know you can break down the specifics if needed. He could easily just go for a number, but if you break down individual points, he might decide to argue some of them. I would also review your contract/lease as quite often there is a clause for breaking the lease included. This is usually done for the Landlords protection, but would give you a clear starting point (you could ask for more, but would in no way agree to less then that amount). Also, it matters if he actually served you with a 30 day notice already. In most states at least, all the protections are there for the tenants, giving them quite a few ways to break a lease without penalty (unfixed/repaired items, finding another person to rent the unit in your place etc). There is no....specific...penalty (well at least in the states I have lived in) for a landlord that serves a 30 day notice that can't be enforced (for whatever reason), but..there is if the landlord actually tried to physically remove you (with the help of police, changing your locks etc). That didn't happen in this case, but it's still good to keep in mind he served you with a 30 day notice. It's his error, and if you do end up in court it could matter. Remember, even if you don't end up getting squat from him now, you might actually still get something from court later, if you end up having to move (due to pressure etc) before your lease expires. Since he already served you with a 30 day notice, that would give you enough reason to show you felt .....pressured to move....and require financial compensation. Best to just negotiate, but yeah, you have options if that falls through, so stand strong. --- "Dogs smell like they've had too much fun and need a bath Cats smell like espionage" - Mead |

| wolfy42 01/18/18 10:59:55 PM #107 | Jen0125 posted... he said all the other houses he bought had no lease. mine must have been a mistake lmao sucks for him great for me Shit, that can be dangerous if he consults an attorney etc. Again, he just needs to say he is actually moving into the house and your screwed (There is no legal limit dictating how long he needs to live there before selling). That is of course if what he is saying is true, and from what the girl at the office said, about hopefully him not doing that for all the properties, it may not be true. Even if it is true, he would at least need to legally move into the house and change his address, for a month or two, so it would still be worth at least 2 months rent just to avoid having to do that. Does give him an out if your the only ones with a lease though. Still think contacting the other tenants would be a good idea if you could swing it. More information is never a bad thing. --- "Dogs smell like they've had too much fun and need a bath Cats smell like espionage" - Mead |
| Topic | omg the new owner of the house im renting is mailing a 30 day notice to vacate |
| wolfy42 01/18/18 10:55:56 PM #102 | Usually you pay first and last months rent along with a deposit (refundable) and if you have a pet sometimes a pet deposit (non-refundable). Any agreement they would come to would be on top of the normal return of the deposit, and of course if she already paid last months rent, that would be factored in as well. The important thing here is to know that it's a prime time to sell, and many think the market is going to go the other way in the next few years. New evaluations happen in the next month or two, so this is a very time sensitive issue. I'm thinking of selling my house, but am holding off as I figure at worst it'll go down a bit in value, and probably stay around the same (might even go up a bit more). My home went from 315k in value in 2015 to 422k in 2017. From a pure finacial perspective it probably makes sense to sell my home right away if I could, as the likelyhood it'll go up a bunch more in value is low...but I am actually living here and it would be alot of work and a big change. In Jen's new owners case though selling fast is a way better idea, as it's a crap shoot without good odds right now that the value will actually increase. So yeah, I'm sure he's highly motivated to make a deal. --- "Dogs smell like they've had too much fun and need a bath Cats smell like espionage" - Mead |

Sounds like he's ready to play ball and since no matter what, you would have to leave in a year, it makes sense to capitalize on your power now:) Congrats! --- "Dogs smell like they've had too much fun and need a bath Cats smell like espionage" - Mead |

| Topic | Trying to get through all 12 seasons of supernatural before the 19th. |
| wolfy42 01/18/18 3:44:22 PM #1 | My netflix subscription ends on the 19th. I'll get it back in a month or two when there is something worthwhile for me to watch (carbon dating or whatever that show is looks good for instance). I have this whole season of Supernatural taped, so I am trying to "catch up" before the 19th. I was at the start of season 9, and have watched all of season 9 and 10 and am on episode 2 of season 11. There are 23 episodes in season 11 and 12.....so after this episode there are 44 freaking episodes left. That is impossible to watch even if netflix lasts till the end of the 19th. So I have to skip some of them. Anyone know the important episodes from those seasons so I don't miss anything? I can just start watching and skip ahead (i've done that for a few already) to important stuff, but if anyone could just say episode 8/14/17/18/20 all blow or are pointless for season 11 etc...that would be great. I don't have to work or anything so in theory I could maybe get in 30 episodes as long as it lasts till midnight on the 19th. May just have to wait till I get netflix again though and finish up then, and just keep storing the new episodes on my DVR till then. --- "Dogs smell like they've had too much fun and need a bath Cats smell like espionage" - Mead |

| Topic | So....you find out you have cancer..... |
| wolfy42 01/18/18 3:28:40 PM #1 | But, it's a form that has a decent survival rate. Over 70% of people with this cancer live over a year, over 55% live 5+ years after the diagnosis. Sadly though, it does have some negative (and painful) complications, can affect your personality and other things nobody wants to deal with. On the plus side you have lost 20 pounds already and want to lose more, which is highly likely to happen. There are options to fight it, including Chemo, and bone marrow transplants, but you are not at that stage yet. Good diet, staying fit (Getting exercise etc), can also help reduce and prevent many of the symptoms. Some of the complications are going to require many (frequent) trips to the hospital. That being said, you have a decent amount of money, are still able to get around fairly well, and an over all positive attitude. You do not have any responsibilities (nobody you are taking care of etc), and have the freedom to travel or do whatever you want.

| wolfy42 01/18/18 3:14:09 PM #64 | LinkPizza posted... He apparently knew the about the leases since he seemed to have told the old landlords that he would honor them. It seems. Yeah, it's not likely he could get away with that. We pretty much know he knew, but he could try and prove that the information was not presented in any legal way, and then try and invalidate the sale because of that. Don't really see that happening though but if he thought he could just kick everyone out, he doesn't sound like he's really playing with a full deck here. From Jen's post there is an office that manages the homes, so it's basically impossible he did't have any clue that they were being rented out. Certainly impossible for him to prove that, and the onus would be on him to do so. So pretty much he could choose 1 home to move into as a primary residence and evict the current tenants. All other tenants should be informed if this happens for sure, to prevent him from suddenly deciding he wants to move into a different home 3 months down the road as his new primary residence lol. He would not get away with that, as long as anyone knew it was happening. Otherwise he could basically just hop from one home to another claiming he was going to reside there and evict one tenant each month that way lol...or at least he could try that. I doubt it would work, but good idea to keep an eye out for it, and possible to get in touch with the other tenants anyway so you can all create a united front. Wouldn't go so far as hiring an attorney yet, but at least getting in contact with each other would probably be a good idea. If the new landlord is ONLY trying to evict Jen though, that is a much worse scenario, since he can basically claim he is moving in, and that invalidates the least or any other arguments pretty much. Might be able to fight for a bit more time, but even that would be iffy. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!! Join today by putting it in your sig. |
| Topic | omg the new owner of the house im renting is mailing a 30 day notice to vacate |
| wolfy42 01/18/18 3:03:02 PM #61 | Btw, good news, if he bought 7 homes he can't have more then one as his primary residence, so no way he can kick everyone out. If he tries, he will lose, no recourse in such a situation, since the lease was in effect before he bought the property. Now, he could invalidate the sale if he can prove that he did not know about the leases in advance. That is HIGHLY unlikely though, and the excuse he didn't know the leases would be binding does not matter. It's up to him to do the research. As long as he was informed about the leases, he is responsible for fulfilling them at this point. In any event, his legal recourse would be with the person who sold him the properties, not the tenants. Still might consider giving him the option to "pay you out" since you'll need to move in a year anyway, and moving now (or soon) with finacial help, along with a good reference (he'd still have to give you a good one in a year) might be preferable. If I was the landlord I would probably do something like offer a free month's rent to anyone willing to move out by the end of Feb, along with the knowledge that any current leases would not be renewed and so tenants would need to move out anyway within a year. That might be enough for most of the tenants to move now. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!! Join today by putting it in your sig. |

| wolfy42 01/18/18 12:12:08 PM #2 | I wouldn't say ripped off. I use metro PCS which is $30 a month. You get some amount of data (could be 1gb or 2), then it slows down after that. Real advantage is no contract etc, so you can cancel any time, and you can get another new phone after 3 months (or upgrade etc). The phones they offer can be pretty sweet. I got a crap phone, for $20, because they didn't give me the same deal as a friend who switched a month later. He got a $400 phone (normally) that was on sale for $200, but you get $100 off the price of the phone when you sign up AND $100 more if you switch from another company. So he got this pretty freaking awesome $400 phone for free, which Ijust got a $120 phone for $20 *sigh*. Anyway, check out metro pcs, it's apretty good deal. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!! Join today by putting it in your sig. |

| Topic | omg the new owner of the house im renting is mailing a 30 day notice to vacate |
| wolfy42 01/17/18 10:52:04 PM #37 | Ok, it's complicated and different from state to state but here is a few things. First, normally if you have a lease that is in effect when a new owner takes over, they have to honor it. There are exceptions though, including an exception if the new owner actually wants to live there (easiest way for them to get around it). So, all the new owner has to do in order to legally evict you is say they are moving in, even if that is only true for a month or two while they sell it. Which can basically invalidate the lease you have. That may be what they are doing and why they gave you a 30 day notice even though you legally have the right to stay there. Or they may just not know that the lease is binding still. I would try and get some written confirmation from them that they are just trying to sell the place, etc, and not planning on moving in (without actually mentioning that at as you don't want to tip them off). Arizona I think is not Tennant friendly if I remember right (basically landlords have more power there then say in California or even Washington). The judges are probably more on the landlords side as well. If nothing else you can probably at least get a few months extension though, since you do have a lease, signed previous to the sale of the property. It should not matter that the lease had not gone into effect yet, although again, that can depend on the judge and local laws. It also may not even be worth the fight to be honest, since there are risks even if you do fight. A 30 day notice is primarily used to actually ensure the landlord can use the police to evict you. Yes, you may have legal recourse afterwards, but once the 30 days is up, the landlord can use police to forcefully evict you and then deal with the legal reprecussions later (wouldn't advise that, and it could bite them in the but long term, but still could happen). If the new landlord wants you out, there are ways for it to happen legally, well before a year is up, so the easiest solution, and least painful, would be to find somewhere else to live, and then sue his ass for the cost to move etc. It will be annoying, but you probably would have the law on your side, and all the control/power would be in your hands instead of the landlords. You might get compensated for the extra cost (at least for the next year, so if you rent somewhere more expensive, + moving expenses etc), and you won't have any long term stress living somewhere that you are not wanted. I could try and look up specific state law for Arizona etc, but you might be better off just contacting your local court as they usually have free legal aid departments there which can help much more then I could. Also, if you have not had any communication with the new owner, perhaps directly contacting them about the situation, letting them know there is a lease (they may not even know) and that moving would not be convienent for you right now, might be a good idea. They might even be willing to wait, or give you more time once they have been informed. He/She may not be an ass hat, but just may not even know about the situation at all, and just think they can simply evict you because the current lease ends within a month. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!!

| Topic | Which is worse for you, drinking soda or smoking cigarettes? |
| wolfy42 01/17/18 4:56:55 PM #23 | It should also be mentioned that at least now, everyone knows cigs are dangerous. While there is info out there about the dangers of soda, it's often ignored, and people literally push it on you (waiters ask if you want anything to drink at restraunts etc). Soda is everywhere. You don't accidently start smoking. You can very easily start drinking soda and become addicted to it without even knowing. Which is less healthy...that is up for debate, and depends on the individual. Soda though is unhealthy especially in large amounts, and it's everywhere, very easy to get, and often cheaper then freaking water. If you could choose to either have no ciggerettes avalable in the US, or no soda or high sugar drinks, I think you would save far more lives and make people over all healthier, if you got rid of the drinks. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!!

Also just getting over a flu, so feel good about that...I hate being congested. So over all, feel good. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!!

| Topic | Which is worse for you, drinking soda or smoking cigarettes? |
| wolfy42 01/17/18 1:39:48 AM #8 | Depends on the person, how much exersize they are getting etc, and the amount consumed as well. In both cases there are people who have consumed a large amount for decades with no ill effects. The sugar from soda along with other sources of sugar could lead to real bad health problems, you can lose your teeth as well. Cigs are not only bad for you though, but the people around you, and of course can lead to lung cancer etc. Cigs are in general more expensive as well. Smoking cigs for a year though, might not cause a serious problem, while drinking alot of soda for a year while not eating a healthy diet or working out at all (getting a decent amount of exersize in one way or another), could. So it definately depends on the situation. Best bet is to do neither. Cigs are easy for me to avoid, soda is a serious act of will and I can fall off the wagon in a second if i'm not careful. Seriously, they should have support groups for soda drinkers lol....it's like liquid crack (Except crack tastes horrible and honestly I don't know why anyone gets addicted to it). I can actually resist most soda fairly well...it's shirley temples that are my gateway drug. I'll get a shirley temple while out to eat, and that'll get me started drinking soda again. I avoid them now after reverting to drinking soda again twice in the last 10 years because of them. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!! Join today by putting it in your sig. |
| Topic | Living paycheck to paycheck sucks. |
| wolfy42 01/17/18 1:22:09 AM #15 | Yeah, don't get me wrong, you can blow $2k+ a month and not really be living that large without any problems, and basically feel like you are spending the bare min you can get away with. If you rent your own place, with a 1 bedroom to yourself being the min your willing to live with, that can be a good $600-$1200 a month right there, depending on where you live. Add in utilities (your not splitting), and internet), and that is as much as you make at a min wage job in many areas working full time, and more then that in the more expensive places (like the bay area). Food can always be cheap, but you have to be at least semi-smart and not eat fast food etc alot. If you just eat fast food for lunch every day, even at $5 a day that would be another $100+ a month right there. Cars can be cheap, but many people lease them etc, or make car payments etc, which is usually aboslutely not worth it at all. Good cars can be bought almost anywhere for $1000 (or less), and while they may need some repairs sometimes, they will get the job done (and you won't be blowing 6k+ a year on em). Of course the real culprit is entertainment/hobbies and drugs/alcohol/partying etc, especially for the young. This can be the difference between saving at least 25-50% of what you make a month, to running out of cash by the end of the month and going further and further into debt. You can live on almost nothing, less then $500 a month in expenses most places pretty easy, but not many do, especially if they are actually making more then that. I made less then 1/2 as much as one of my friends when I was in my late teens and 20's, but by the time I was 30, I had almost 100k saved up and he was broke, with no car, and no job. He didn't save a dime in all that time, and when the company went under that he had worked for (got a job there from a friend right out of HS), he was not able to find anywhere else that would hire him without a degree of any kind etc. Back then making almost $30 an hour (what he made for over a decade) was insane for someone without a degree etc. With ANY sense of planning/saving at all, he could have easily retired (seriously for like 8 of those years CC bonds gave 12% or more interest per year...meaning you could double your money every 5-6 years). Instead all my friends blew their money as fast as they got it....I think much the same thing goes on today, only everything costs more, so it's harder to save in the first place. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!!

| Topic | Living paycheck to paycheck sucks. |
| wolfy42 01/17/18 12:31:52 AM #12 | Unless you have kids or are supporting a sick loved one, there is no reason to ever live paycheck to paycheck even if your making minimum wage and working part time. Even in fairly expensive areas (just not like the bay area or New York), you can usually rent a room for about $300, and still get a roomate situation in many for $200 or so a month. Outside of possibly qualifying for food stamps in many places if your making very little income, and the use of food banks etc, just buying cheap food (tuna fish/bread/eggs/cereal/pasta etc), can let you easily live on $25 a week for food. That is $300-400 a month for expenses. Which depending on the min wage whereyou live, is 1 weeks worth of work. You could in theory save $1000 a month in that case while getting minimum wage and working 30-40 hours a week. Things like internet etc often come with a room rental, or, if you do the roomate thing, you all split the cost, so it's a very small charge. Entertainment is super cheap, again, 1 netflix account can work for a whole home worth of roomates, so like $2 a month for pretty much unlimited shows to watch. Avoid spending alot on going out for drinks etc, or on expensive hobbies, and you can save quite a bit. If you just want to save half of what you make, that would actually give you quite a bit more money to enjoy yourself with, eat better, and even afford a car if you wanted...while still saving a good $500-$600 a month. So yeah, if your living paycheck to paycheck, and your single, then it's choices you are making that is causing the issue. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!!

| Topic | Luke Cage is pretty good so far. |
| wolfy42 01/15/18 11:42:03 AM #6 | Nah JJ was = DD1 or close DD2 was the next best. I made it through luke cage but it was hard (almost unbreakable). The villians sucked bad, which is the largest problem. Sidekicks ....kinda blow (pretty much just misty tbh...the nurse is universal). I kinda looked back at the series trying to find out what happened. First daredevil has a great villian in Wilson Fisk. He is freaking awesomely good. Also has TWO GREAT sidekicks in foggy and Karen. The main character was also quite good mind you, but the supporting cast and antagonist really made the show. Jessica Jones had both a good sidekick (you could almost say 2 if you count the druggie), interesting supporting cast, and again, EXCELLENT VILLIAN. Killgrave rocked hard. This made the show, and then you had the who JJ + LK thing that was working as well (so LK was actually a good supporting cast member). Then you get Luke cage. You have just 1 supporting sidekick besides the universal nurse, Misty. Who I just don't like or think is interesting. The villian/s in the show are a huge letdown with the mini-villian actually being far better in my opinion (shades). Just didn't do it for me, but it wasn't absolute trash....there was still a story there at least. Most of all the show had excuses for not being that good. No team ups, no good sidekicks, and lackluster villians...it wasn't just horrid writing. Then you get Iron Fist. While the series went downhill with Luke Cage, it seemed to flatline just about with Iron First. They took good actual villians with some potential from Daredevil.....and ruined them. Still no decent sidekicks...although they could have had potential with good writing..which is worse tbh....and the casting for IF was just ....so bad. The defenders at least made a bit of a comeback, but it was not nearly as good as it could have been. It does leave potential for a better 2nd defenders season as I think fisk is coming back. I didn't even finish watching punisher. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!! Join today by putting it in your sig. |
| Topic | I have no idea how people can consume a triple Whopper. |
| wolfy42 01/14/18 2:04:39 PM #11 | You are way better off getting a burger from somewhere like Red Robin, and adding another burger patty. It's about the same price, more meat over all, way better quality and grilled better, and you get endless fries with it. Not fast food, but you could call it in ahead and just pick it up. Burger king still actually grills their burgers but....they then store them/steam them afterwards which is why the patties taste bland and like they have never been grilled etc. Carls Jnrs(hardys whatever) does the same thing, but they flame broil them and if you have them do the burger fresh, it'll still have some flavor at least. Most of the flavor from a whopper comes from the condiments etc....the meat is actually quite tasteless and bland. On a burger scale of 1-10......Burger king and Carl's Jnr used to be on top of the fast food choices (along time ago), at around a 5. Carls Jnr at least can still hit that number sometime, but from my testing you'll never get higher then a 3 from burger king anymore. Red robin is a pretty consistent 6-7. Mooyaa burgers if you can find one outside of California is a good 8....which is pretty freaking hard to beat from a chain. Best burgers are still just grilled at home though. I tend to go to Red Robin if I do get a burger out only due to the steak fries. Hard to make those at home, the price is good, and their burger isn't bad. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!! Join today by putting it in your sig. |
