I am so tired of getting 5-6 calls a day from people trying to sell me solar or home repairs or scammers who want to know if my plastic Medicare card arrived or someone from a government agency who wants to help me with my health care.
I have Nomorobo; I use the call block feature on my VoiP. I put all my numbers on the DO NOT CALL list (I don’t think it helped.) I can usually tell which calls are from these folks by looking at the number, but some of them spoof numbers. The other day the number listed on the screen was my neighbor’s (it wasn’t my neighbor). There has got to be a way to stop these!!!

Follow up with my plumber vent in my previous post. My super got a different plumber to see what was going on with the leak. When the plumber lifted the toilet he found the previous plumber had not welded the ring to the drain pipe, he had glued it instead. It meant my toilet had be “floating” on top of the drainage pipe for 2 years. Not only the sewage was leaking, it also damaged the drainage pipe. It cost me quite a bit to fix and am responsible for my neighbor’s damages.
I called the previous plumber and told them that I expected them to make me whole.

According to my USPS Informed Delivery, I have a letter from the IRS awaiting me when I get home.
I really, really do not need to be audited right now…

Update on the IRS letter: they want copies of documentation for a line item on the return. I have all of the documentation and it adds up.
Big sigh of relief!

Wow, you have demonstrated a new level of self absorption. I can’t believe you couldn’t see how rude you were and just went on and on and on. And I am proud of myself. I didn’t say much, and tried to remember - “if you have nothing good to say then say nothing.” It was hard though. I am not sure if I’m more disappointed or angry, but I am dreading the days to come with you.

H has long felt that if he didn’t make contact with his family (Sister and Dad), it would be like we were forgotten. His Mom used to call us often, but then had Alzheimer’s and had passed away. FIL lives with SIL and H checks on them very regularly, maybe not as often as he could, but how often do they ever call/text us? Zero. And it was like this forever, long before FIL/MIL moved in with his sister. But when he does make contact, it seems like they’re happy to hear/see from us. It’s just like they don’t ever think to think about us.
H had a shoulder replacement recently. Two days before he reached out (on his own bday) and let them now. Now that it’s over, almost everyone has texted and checked on him multiple times. Friends, extended family, coworkers, former coworkers, etc. But his Sister and Dad? Crickets. Not even a text to say “hope everything went ok.”
It makes me sad for him since I know it bothers him more than he lets on.

Hey, neighbor. I’m guessing your FOUR rolling trash bins stink and/or have flies, since you are now storing them on the back edge of your property. Oh, boy … so when we look out at our beautiful garden from the back of our house, we get to see your trash bins. You don’t, of course, because you didn’t put them on the side your windows overlook. Have some respect for your neighbors, dude.

Mosquitos love me. So I’m very careful to spray my neck – front and back – my arms and my legs. I now have two mosquito bites on my cheeks. I look like I’m 14 years old with zits.

They offered an increase of 7% on my rent, I countered with 3.5%, and they came back with the 5% I was looking for. You really need to have negotiation skills in life!
