The $250k+ letter / myLot

Intrigued? Hope so. Pardon me while I wipe my eyes and blow my nose again. I've cried more in the past six months than I have in 40 years! As I have posted in my past discussions, my house burned down last October second. I am..well as of this morning "WAS" in legal action against our local electric company. I was suing to recover my home, possessions, car, and for the loss of my fur babies. I am currently living in my "boyfriend's" home. I am living by his rules, doing things his way, and when I wash dishes I'm reminded I'm using HIS hot water! Oh, and my computer is a Kindle Fire tablet. I have about six square feet to store little I've replaced. Fun way to live! And the one cat that survived the fire isn't allowed in HIS house. Wednesday when we went to town we stopped and picked up the mail. I should have known better! There was a note from the post office that I had a certified letter to pick up. Stupid me, I picked it up and it was another missive from my home owners association board of directors. In short it was clean up your site or else! I had my attorney inform them that he needed the site maintained as is because of his experts needing to inspect the site..if the HOA forces me to clear the lot then they are going to be liable for the losses I would sustain. I'd be as apt to collect on that as the Pope is apt to become atheist. So, I can flush $250,000 down the toilet because of ten self important bast-rds who don't give a rats behind about anything but their view of the "rules". I sent the " required " reply to their self important missive on when the lot would be cleared, and I thanked them for their concern. That I appreciated that in general I was considered stupid, and for their people who offered to help...themselves. I had one board member tell me that the value of build able lots by a lake in California has taken an enormous drop and my lot is worth a whole $5000! (How stupid do you think I am?). And the other person willing to help me, again, will purchase my lot for a pittance and clear it. Not one of these people has asked if I want to sell my lot, they just want to skrew me out of it. And by forcing the clearing of the lot they are forcing me from my home. Sweet, huh?

Don't let it discourage you! Lawsuits take a long time and even if they make you clear it you can have a professional document the damage by film and mapping. And you can also tack on a charge of harassment to make them look bad and make the electric company look bad for not helping in a timely manner. Be patient. I know it's hard to be optimistic right now but maybe it would help if you could rent a room from someone and get out of that negative living situation.

Thank you!!!!!!! I am just at that point with the whole mess. I can't afford to rent a room, and with the cost of clearing the lot ($10,000) it's going to be a long time before I can afford anything. I get $910 a month on disability. Whoopee! I can go as far as Pozo California (that's a town about fifty miles east of where my town of record is.). Oops, I forgot, my car burned down with the house. My Subaru wagon is sitting on its rims in what used to be the carport. And I'm going to be making monthly payments to the man doing the cleanup. From what I've heard about the electric company, its their habit to drag their feet during lawsuits. One man was killed because of the electric company's negligence and it took fifteen years for them to settle. I have the patience of Job, but I don't handle harassment and bullying well. I didn't get it into my main discussion, but under the category of it never fails, one of the board members just HAD to email me which at this point is like throwing gas on a fire. As I love to say, no brains no headaches! When you get a person as upset as the HOA board has gotten me, you don't beard the lion in its den.

@BearArtistLady I know that feeling....I am a person that prefers to get along with everyone but there is a point beyond which anyone who dares to go is very, very sorry. Usually it involves my children or grandchildren but occasionally it is an injustice to myself. Those who cross the line always regret it. I hope you can persevere through all this legal bull crap. It is so hard to wait through all the rigmarole!! Justice is always served, whether you're alive to see it or not, so let that comfort you in the weeks or months to come. Remember that you are the wronged party, you have suffered the loss of loved ones, and that you and your precious deceased pets are the victim of negligence and greed. Stay strong. Never give up, never give in!

@dragon54u There have been a few people who have dared to go where even angels fear to tread with me. They have lived to regret it. I'm like a snake and give warning before I strike...like one dentist. He was pulling a tooth, he hadn't used enough Novocaine and I had told him Novocaine didn't work on me. He told me I didn't know what I was talking about, finished giving me the shot and started pulling the tooth. I was screaming in pain and he stopped, and snarled at me, "it's pressure not pain you're feeling. Now either quit screaming or I'll stop pulling the tooth. What's it going to be?". I told him to finish pulling and be quick about it. He did, and as I figured, he stuck his fingers in my mouth one more time. I proceeded to bite him. He let out a yell and started " dancing ". The more he squirmed and yelled the harder I bit. Finally, after all the gals from the office had a good laugh (I could see them in the dental light he had) I let go. As he stood there nursing his throbbing fingers I looked at him and very sweetly said, " that was pressure not pain you were feeling honey". And I got out of the chair and left. I'm biding my time. The HOA board will need me to do something for them. They'll get the dentist treatment.
