I am a contractor, mostly electrical. I received a text message yesterday from someone who claims to have purchased a new home near where I live and work, they say have a decent amount of work to be done and will pay 70% upfront (their idea not mine) I did the estimate and the 70% came out to just under $2000. This morning they texted me explaining that they would be mailing me a check for almost $8000, and that upon receipt I would be responsible to get the money to a material supplier through wire transfer or cash deposit. I verified that the house was just purchased by checking Zillow. He has said the supplier would be the one who granted me access to the property which seems weird to me and when I asked him why he wouldn't just pay the supplier directly he said it was because the supplier doesn't accept checks (weird). Hoping it's legit because I could use the work... Any thoughts?
I went through Depression, followed by costly divorce. Feeling better now. I need to sell my house in the Boston suburbs, pay the mortgage and buy a two bedroom in the city, and maybe save a little towards kids education. Redfin says the house is worth 1150k, Zillow estimate around 1250k. Enters Sean and the following events happen: a) Sean walks through the house, says he represents a builder and makes me an offer at 975k b) I call another firm that I found on the internet claiming to pay full market price, guy walks through the house, offers me 800k. C) I told Sean I’m talking to another dude, I’m not telling him the other price, he says he has contacts and can find me a better offer. D) Sean calls back and offers a round 1mil. E) I call a realtor and ask her to represent me in buying a 2 bedroom In Boston. Of course, She offers to sell the house too. E) I tell Sean about this. Sean offers to represent me as a sellers agent at no cost to me. F) Sean sends me a piece of paper to represent me as a designated agent. It says in there he will act with “loyalty, full disclosure” and other nice things. I SIGN. He says he’ll arrange for several builders to walk through the house. G) within hours, he sends me an offer from a builder, for 1mil and 50k, as is, no inspection. H) the price of my house in Redfin suddenly jumps to 1.4 million.
Bewildered. I think I’m going to see a lawyer. At 1mil and 50k, I could buy a decent two bedroom and have a little aside. But I still don’t know if I leave money on the table.
Advice, please?
Let's talk about something positive. What are some of your favourite scenes in the series?
Some of mine are: Zeke and Jared teaming up to do the good cop bad cop routine
Zeke and Cal playing monopoly for Zeke's bachelor party. I hope Cal still gets to be his best man next time around.
The flashback of Jared proposing to Micheala (I'm undecided if I wanted her to end up with Jared or Zeke)
Cal having lunch with his old friends at school and getting to momentarily feel like everything was normal
Ben and Olive having a funeral for TJ when they thought he was dead and sharing their favourite memories of him
Cal sending Olive a coded message to help her find him when he was kidnapped
Cal teaching Eden the treasure hunt poem while hiding near Tyrik's house
Hey peeps, ik this isn’t a uk rave but I bought two tickets to boiler room Paris, heading there on Friday night. It’s the Saturday day and night tickets, and I have one that needs a person. Hit me up if you’d like to go! Ben UFO, joy orb, and some other groovy European house and techno DJs. And the “by night” line up hasn’t been announced.
So I have a New Hampshire DL and it has my girlfriends old address on it. I recently roughly 5 weeks ago changed my mailing address to my parents house which is in NJ because I spend weekdays in NJ and easier for me to get mail delivered there now. However I still spend time in NH for long weekends with my gf. I wanted to purchase a handgun in NH next weekend but the federal form asking about address is tricky for me now. Could I still use my gf address to get the firearm since I technically spend weekends still with her? Thanks

I will be participating in the Reddit boycott from June 12th, so let me know anything you'd like before then.
Okay, a few years ago, one of the husbands of a registered domestic partner couple died and had a very well-off life insurance policy of about 5 million. They didn't have children together, but they did have children from previous relationships. We will call this couple Ben & Jerry. Ben is the one who died. Now Jerry showed true colors and how he did not know how to manage money, but one of the things he did was buy a house for Ben's mom and move her into the house. He also gave quite a bit of money to his own kids but very limited money to Ben's kids, which were fine with it because they're well off. The fact that he bought Ben's mom a house was admirable because she's widowed and disabled. Jerry bragged to all of his friends and family and church members that he bought Ben's mom house and that he was such a good Christian for doing such good deeds. The only stipulation he ever made was that she had to pay the property taxes, which was fine, and she understood. I mean, it is her house. You u have to pay property taxes on your own house. Now the money is all gone, and Jerry had to go back to work. Jerry's not worked too much in his life, so it was a shock that he even went back to work. He managed to do other things to make money. I mean, they were all legal, but none of it required him to actually physically get out and do anything. He has several college degrees, and he's a very intelligent man, but he's never used those degrees. He said he wanted to change the system, but of course, that takes effort. Now he's had to go to work for said system. In the midst of it all, he decided to go to Ben's mother and tell her she's got to start paying rent. In fact, he quoted probably more than what she makes, which personally I find kind of tacky. My relationship in all of this is that I am Jerry's sibling. I've grown attached to the family of his deceased partner because they are wonderful family. I even call Ben's mom, Mom. So my question is, what legal standing does she have? What can she do to not lose this home that she's been living in and paying taxes for the past few years? She's been there, I think, 7 years now. The title is probably in Jerry's name. This is in the state of California, too.
I'm coming put a little edit in here because just so everybody knows there is no paperwork. It was only by Word of Mouth. The only reason he told her that she had to pay property taxes is because it's her house and her responsibility to pay those property taxes. I mean she's got receipts for paying the property taxes but no it's just like handing somebody a gift wrapped up under a tree and saying here this is for you. There was no strings attached it was a gift.
We’ve tried everything. We will stand outside for HOURS and encourage her to potty outside, we reward her with praise and a treat when/if she potties outside. Even if she pees outside, when we go back in she’ll pee upstairs when no one is looking. Poops are always almost exclusively inside. We don’t know what to do. She is not responding to positive reinforcement or redirection when she potties in the house. We were told she was housebroken, which is obviously not true, and I’m not giving up on her and will do whatever it takes. I’ve tried a method I read on a vet site about crate for 10 min outside for 10 min and repeat the process until she uses the restroom outside, I’ve had some luck with sticking to one small area of the yard and not playing when she attempts to play. She’ll pee rather quickly do everything she can to try and get back inside, and play. When I’m satisfied she’ll likely not pee for a while after peeing or even pooping, she’ll still go in the house. Puppy pads are just something she likes to tear up, and sticking to a rigid schedule doesn’t appear to be helping either. I’m sure this isn’t uncommon so I’m hoping the community might be able to assist. She came home with us to her forever home 2 weeks ago, prior to that she was in foster care in Texas for 3 months (we are in NJ). Myself and the rescue agency are unaware of what her life was like for her first 4-6 months. Before that she was in a kill shelter for an undisclosed amount of time. She’s also not a fan of largechubbier men. There’s clearly some residual trauma. She is a Jack russel / dachshund mix. She’s sweet as all can be and smart enough to even learn “paw” and “sit” within the short time she’s been with us. It’s appearing there’s a fear of outside. However I rent the house I live in, and while my landlord was cool with her moving in I fear that the damage being caused may cost us both our home.
I bought a fixer upper in a desirable neighborhood in 2019 for 180K. I have made quite a number of improvements, and with the rapid increase in home values experienced during Covid, my house is now worth (according to Zillow) somewhere in the low 300,000 range. Comps in the area are going between 260 and 450. I owe about 150K on it. My question is: If I get a re-fi with a reappraisal, and the reappraised value of the home is double what I owe on the mortgage, and I convert the new value to equity … what does my mortgage payment look like at that point?
My parents and I are going in 50/50 on a vacation home purchase in NJ. We are buying the house in cash. They want me to inherent the home when they eventually pass away.
If their names aren't on the house deed, will the amount they contribute (50%) be considered a gift?
I want to avoid adding them to the deed so no inheritance complications come up with my sibling. (Sibling doesn't want to be involved)

― Uncle Iroh The Daughter that Follows Chapter 27 Reunited Part 5 “So, are we all ready?” Darius asked as he rolled out a second grill in his backyard. He had decided to host the mini-reunion for Alan and his friend.
“We are so friggin’ ready.” Kenji grinned. “I can almost taste the meat...”
“Why is he acting like he hasn’t had meat in forever?” Alan asked Brooklynn while pointing to her husband.
“I wish I knew, he has his own grill.” Brooklyn shook her head. “Cooks good corn.”
“Speaking of, I got these for you.” Alan held up several cobs. “Won’t be a competition because Vegeta thinks vegetables are a sin.”
Brooklyn rolled her eyes, “I know the type.”
“So...” Sammie pointed into Darius’ house. “Is your other guest okay?”
“He’s fine, he just doesn’t like the sun that much.” Alan grinned.
“He’s a vampire.” Yaz said.
“Don’t say that.” Sammie chided her wife.
“Technically he’s a nosferatu.” Alan wavered his hand. “But also be quiet, I want Anna surprised, and Salem surprised.”
“Why is he getting surprised?” Kenji asked.
Yaz smiled, “You didn’t pay attention to his shirt, did you?”
“I think he might be a fan of Alan’s friend.” Sammie said.
Not a moment after that a hole opened above Darius’ driveway. They heard Ben shout in surprise as he fell out with Anna and Vegeta.
“You know, you’re brave...” Vegeta said, “But you need to have more spatial awareness if you’re not gonna fly.”
“We can’t fly here.” Ben said as he was flown over Darius’ roof and sat down.
“Where’s Anna?” Alan asked.
“She saw someone attacking Spider-Men.” Vegeta shrugged.”Dropped us off and ran off.”
“Oh.” Alan blinked.
“Yeah, it looked like some wasp thingy.” Vegeta flew back and returned with a huge slab of meat. “Wagusaurus.”
Alan stopped to think for a moment before another hole in reality opened and Anna walked through covered in orange and green gunk.
“Hose?” She asked grumpily.
Darius pointed to the side of his house.
“So I take it, it squished good?” Salem snickered from the sliding door.
Anna froze and looked up. Then she looked at her father.
“Surprise.” Alan smirked.
Anna ran up and hugged her father. “That’s for surprising me.”
Alan nodded. “I kinda figured.”
Salem was laughing like mad as Anna went to hose herself off. Then he froze as he saw Vegeta cutting up the meat.
“Surprise.” Alan smiled and tapped Vegeta on the shoulder. “You gotta fan here, man.”
“Huh?” Vegeta turned to see the fanged nosferatu staring and pointing. “Hey, you want to help? This stuff is heavy.”
Salem just nodded and helped the saiyan prince separate out the meat.
Anna came walking back around the corner, she had used her aura to squeeze the water from her clothes and skin, though her hair was still wet. She giggled as her father simply eradicated the gunk that was on his clothes.
“Thank you.” Anna smiled up at Alan.
“Yeah, well he’ll be going with you.” Alan smiled. “Plus this needed to happen outside of a battle zone.”
“Oh yeah.” Anna nodded emphatically. “Completely.”
Alan smiled as he clapped his hands. “All right! Everyone get ready for a taste test sensation! Except Brooklynn, I’ll have your corn done not long after.”
“What is she vegetarian?” Vegeta snapped.
“Vegan.” Brooklyn said as she crossed her arms.
“I make meat.” Vegeta crossed his arms as if to challenge her.
“Good for you, my husband is who you want to impress.” She nodded to Kenji.
“Huh, fair.” Vegeta nodded. “Why is he staring at the grills?”
“He grills too, but for fun.” Brooklynn smiled.
“Hey, amateur!” Vegeta stomped forward.
Kenji flinched. “Yes?”
“You’re my second.” Vegeta grinned.
Kenji smiled and saluted, “Yes sir!”
“Ben, you got my stuff?” Alan asked.
“Stuff?” Vegeta asked as Ben walked out with a wheeled tray filled with cooking paraphernalia.
“Oh, now we’re getting serious!” Vegeta grinned. “Anna, you got my stuff?”
Anna nodded and tossed out a pink and blue capsule that turned into another wheeled tray with similar cooking tools on it.
“Just so we’re clear, I’m recusing myself.” Anna smiled.
“Clever girl.” Vegeta stared at her with a vicious smile..
“Man if you knew the history of that phrase here.” Alan shook his head. “All right folks, quarter of a steak each for the taste testing. Be honest, put your fork on the plate you like most.”
“Do we get ketchup?” Anna asked with a devious grin.
Both men stopped and glared.
“I found the heckler.” Alan said through gritted teeth.
“Considering her parentage, I’m not surprised.” Vegeta nodded.
(T)(D)(T)(F)---(T)(F)(T)(W) Darkseid paced on Apokalips.
He had been shunted back to his planet and reality with ease by the ghostly reaper. He had been embarrassed for the last time by the Scions. He would not tolerate it anymore.
“Kalibak!” He shouted for his son.
Kalibak came forward and kneeled. “Father.”
“Prepare all to attack Earth. If I cannot go to them I will draw them to me. We will slaughter Superman's adopted homeworld.” Darkseid grinned.
The sound of chains echoed through the halls.
“Alice?” Hare lifted his head.
“She’s coming...” March Hare’s vocalizer on the back of the warbeast he was attached to, sang to life.
Soon a woman in white with red on a half mask walked into view.
“And who are you?” Darkseid asked.
“I am called Kyton. I come from Alan Quain’s home reality.” She said as the chains holding Hare released him. “I am the Revenant of Heroes, element of metal.” March Hare’s brain case released itself and fell to the ground.
“FREEDOM!” The brains’ final thoughts shouted from the vocalizer.
“You will keep them no longer!” Kyton’s chains flew from openings and snagged the ragged body of Hare into a swirling portal.
“So it is war!” Darkseid grinned as lanced out a punch, but a wall of crystal rose up from the ground.
“I’m here to asshole.” Stephen Quain walked in as the air around all of Darkseid’s forces turned to solid crystalline bindings. “And we brought an old friend.”
A scream of rage tore through the air as a clown mask landed at Darkseid’s feet.
Darkseid looked down and was caught by a powerful uppercut, but it was nothing to him. He did recognize his opponent, they had taken him form Quain’s home reality and tormented him. They had tried to shatter the mask he wore only to find it resisted them at all attempts. He wore a new mask now, but Darkseid felt the same hidden power inside it. He grinned and grabbed the human’s fist and tossed him back.
“Dammnit!” SideEffect shouted. “If I could feel those bones I’d be even more pissed!”
“And now I am...” Darkseid looked outside his window to see a series of explosions ripple across Apokalips.
A man flew down to his window, a billowing red cape.
“I’m afraid not, Darkseid, this is the Scion’s war.” Superman smiled. “We’re just helping.” He flew in and slammed the leader of Apokalips through the walls.
Kyton looked at Stephen Quain, “Don’t kill the sapient ones.”
Stephne rolled his eyes. “Just because I have a history with the hairball doesn’t mean I’m trigger happy.”
Kalibak looked around in confusion. The crystal bindings were all too familiar and he looked at the human in fear. “Can you please not turn me into crystal again? It really hurts.”
Stephen rolled his eyes.
(T)(D)(T)(F)---(T)(F)(T)(W) In the black space above Apokalips, a green form looked down upon the world. A scythe and sword were by his side, as was a young pale skinned woman. She shook her head but did not oppose the Scion.
“You started this early.” Death of the Endless sighed. “Why?”
“Because it’s the one thing no one would expect me to actually do.” Wraith drew his daggers from his side and looked them over. His black blade still had a knick in it from when a piece broke off in Atropos. “So I’ll make sure this entire war is off balance.”
Death of the Endless shook her head. “I think she got under your skin. So to speak.”
“She did.” Wraith acknowledged. “For this I am not Death. For this I am the endless rage of the murdered and unavenged. She wants this fight, I’ll give it to her, but on my terms.”
“What are your friends doing?” Death of the Endless looked down.
One half of Apokolips was now thoroughly exploded with mechanical animals running rampant over it. The other half was now a flower covered paradise that had strange trees restraining the parademons and other forces.
“What they do best.” Wraith smiled. “Chaos and Imbalance.”
“And what can we do?” The voice of Astral, Scion of Order asked as he appeared.
“Cage of this reality, separate it from itself.” Wraith leaned on his scythe.
“Shadow reality?” Astral asked.
Wraith nodded.
“I’m gonna need my buddy down there.” Astral nodded.
“I’m your buddy?!” Perfection cooed as he appeared. “Hiya D.o.E.! How’s Delirium?”
“Delerious.” Death of the Endless smiled with a nod.
“All right!” Perfection cheered. “One shadow realm coming up!” He snapped his fingers and a wig very similar to a popular card game anime character’s hair appeared on his head and his clothes shifted to a similar style.
“Does that mean I have to be Kaiba?” Astral sighed.
“Would you?” Perfection asked with a pleading look.
“Okay, fine. This once.” Astral sighed and his trench coat shifted to that of another coat similar to the other one’s rival.
“I’m not watching this.” Wraith sighed as he vanished.
“Man, what a party pooper.” Perfection sighed. “Well it’s time to get twisted!”
(T)(D)(T)(F)---(T)(F)(T)(W) Anna sat watching her friends and her father. Everyone was relaxed and the party was winding to a close. Vegeta was busy going over a speech with her dad and Salem was busy trying to understand how Ben survived a Carnotaurus as a teenager with no powers.
“We will go to our final battle soon.” Rio sat beside her enjoying some of the last steak.
“Well not our last.” Anna smiled.
Rio shook her head. “I cannot go with you beyond this.”
Anna looked at Rio. “Did I say something, do something?”
Rio shook her head. “I have a responsibility I too will be stepping into, at Arceus’ last request.”
Anna hugged Rio. “You could have said something.”
“I was conflicted.” Rio admitted, “But it was Arlina that made me realize I had to do it.”
Anna nodded. “You’ll always be my sister.”
“You will always be welcome in my world.” Rio smiled and gave a happy yip.
Anna smiled. “Bonds beyond life and death.”
“Bonds beyond time and space.” Rio said as a compliment to it. “I will cherish the time we have had together.”
Anna smiled and held up the pokeball.
“Oh no,we still need that, I don’t want to travel the multiverse exposed to it!” Rio barked nervously.
Anna laughed. “Okay, One last big adventure.”
“Once more unto the breach, my friends.” Alan said as he sat next to them.
“What?” Anna asked.
“The Bard himself.” Alan smiled. “Henry the Fifth.”
Anna nodded. “I’m scared.”
Alan nodded. “So am I. I could lose the most important people to me. But it has to stop, she has to be stopped, he has to be stopped. No more.”
Anna nodded.
“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more, Or close the wall up with our English dead.” Yaz said. “Act Three, Scene One.”
“Indeed.” Alan smiled and nodded. “I better pick up Teal’c and the other’s too.”
Anna looked at her father quizzically.
“He sounds a lot like Kratos. But he enjoys breaking False gods, so...” He paused. “Disturbingly coincidental hobbies.”
Anna giggled.
“How many of my friends have that hobby?” Alan pondered aloud.
Vegeta jumped up and waved his hand.
“No, Vegeta. Frieza was not a false god.” Alan sighed.
“Fair.” Vegeta harrumphed.
“Well I have to get this all cleaned up tomorrow.” Darius sighed.
Alan gave a baring laugh.
“What?” Darius asked.
“Darius.” Anna scoffed, “We aren’t trashy guests...” She focused and Hong Long came out from her aura and quickly began to pick up trash.
Alan simply focused on various small bits that flew to the trash cans. Within minutes the backyard and the grills were sparkling.
“Kami, do I miss the easy cleanups...” Vegeta sighed. “You know the stars here are bit different, but I like’em.”
Anna smiled and began to point out the constellations. Soon though Alan, Anna and their guests returned to the Camp for one more night of rest.
When they got back Anna and Alan crashed within minutes, Vegeta and Salem were still up staring out at the stars.
“You feel it?” Vegeta asked.
“Like a cat with its hackles up.” Salem nodded.
“What do you do, to keep her safe?” Vegeta asked.
“Got some magic, but mostly I use big guns.” Salem said. “I can hack, but it’s a tertiary skill nowadays. If I get pissed I can jack my bodies’ power up, but not anywhere near as powerful as you.”
Vegeta nodded. “Willing to die?”
“For them?” Salem just nodded.
“Good.” Vegeta nodded. “He wants me up front with Darkseid. How do you think I’ll fair?”
“Depends.” Salem shrugged, “What’s your newest technique?”
“Well I developed a bit of an Ego, if you will.” Vegeta grinned.
“No, not with Darkseid.” Salem shook his head. “Definitely poor on the aggression, but you do not want to take a hit. Especially the Omega Beams, you can’t dodge them, you can only put others in front of them.”
(T)(D)(T)(F)---(T)(F)(T)(W) “He wasn’t there.” Consumption hissed. “Not even a trace of him.”
Atropos blinked in shock. She felt for certain Wraith would retreat to the Gates of Hell in their home reality. That he wasn’t there was a shock.
“That’s because he’s off picking a fight with Darkseid.” Odin shook his head. “Your plans aren’t coming together, Norn.”
“Don’t call me that.” Atropos said in an off-sweet tone. “I write fates, they make a show of them.”
Odin grunted. He was starting to regret working with this woman.
“As I said it doesn’t matter.” Atropos shoved her hand into her leg, golden ichor rolled out as she pulled an obsidian black shard from her leg. “A piece of his Sin left to remember him by.”
“I can use that.” Sindri shot up, “That will work” He walked over and held out his hands.
Atropos smiled and dropped it in his open palms. The sharp piece struck into the dwarf’s hand and his grief flashed before his eyes and he clutched his hand around the piece as he roared in pain. He forced himself over to his work table and pried it out of his own hand.
Atropos watched in shock.
“It wants you to suffer under your own guilt.” Sindri winced. “Vicious piece, but it has a piece of him, more than enough.”
“Then let Undeath Echo through the multiverse.” Atropos roared with laughter.
Odin watched the woman and slowly tilted his head towards her, then to Sindri. He nodded slowly as he realized what was happening. He had to get out of this mad house and fast.
(T)(D)(T)(F)---(T)(F)(T)(W) Anna stretched as Hong Long coiled about in the sky, doing his own version of warming up. Alan yawned as he said his goodbyes to his co-workers and bosses.
Dr. Grant handed him a book, an old one signed by another Paleontologist. Quain grinned as he put the book signed by Tim Murphy into his bag. Dr. Ellie Sattler just gave him a hug. Dr. Wu who had the hardest time saying goodbye, despite the few words the two ever exchanged they had become good friends and trusted each other.
“Don’t go bad or I’ll be back.” Alan smiled.
“I don’t think I can anymore.” Wu smiled.
“He’s got the heart!” Anna shouted. “He took a while to grow into it though!”
Dr. Wu smiled and waved. “Take care of her, she still needs her father.”
Alan nodded and stood next to his daughter.
“What do you think, two holes?” Anna asked.
Alan blew a raspberry. “Why waste the energy?”
Anna nodded. “So who is going to make it?”
Alan stroked his chin. “Rock paper scissors?”
Anna rolled her eyes and Hong Long roared and tore into reality leaving an extra large whole gaping open.
“See you in a week!” Anna laughed as she ran and jumped through. Salem came screaming after her shouting about not being ready.
“That’s CHEATING!” Alan shouted as he raced after his daughter. Vegeta sighed and ran after his friend, grumbling about losing the steak-off once more.
As he breached into the multiverse he felt the power of his new nature course through him. He held it back, but just barely. He wanted to show Darkseid exactly how bad he had messed up.
Anna also felt the power crest in her and she looked back and smiled at her father while Salem tumbled in the rear of Hong Long’s frame. She waved as her father and Vegeta skewed off in a different direction.
“I think I’m gonna puke!” Salem groaned as he spun around.

Has anyone else dealt with the hair pulling, agitating, unending, unsolicited advice from out of touch family or friends? Most of whom tend to be a generation or two older?
When we first started looking and the market was tough: "You need to lower your expectations. Try looking in [insert 60 minute each way commute here]."
When interest rates started going up just as we were ready to buy and we were getting frustrated: "It could be worse. When I bought a house, my interest rate was 10%!"
When we said we were putting 10% down: "You should really do 20%. You don't want a PMI."
When we finally could afford to buy and found a house we like: "You can find something in a better neighborhood. You should keep looking. Have you tried looking in [neighborhood that is $400,000 above our price range] ?"
How can otherwise intelligent, empathetic people be so out of touch with what's going on in the housing market? I had a hilarious conversation with a family member who didn't like the neighborhood I'm buying in and insisted that he could find something for us in a neighborhood that was affordable maybe 20 years ago. When he didn't see any listings on Zillow he goes "Something must be wrong with the app". Nope, buddy. Nothing is wrong with the app. You need to add a 1 to the beginning of that asking price filter before you'll start seeing any properties.
SIGH. End rant. The good news is: We're in escrow!
ITT: The James Bond philosophy of not developing any meaningful attachments to anyone because it can be used against you at some point. Haha.
