It is official.
The bailiff tagged my door this morning. I have to vacate by 11/30/2008
I am evicted.
UPDATE: Against my better wishes, my dad is going to try to drive up here tomorrow alone. I'm very leery about that since his stroke. It's a 7 hour drive and he's going to try to be here by 5pm. If he says he can do it, I have to believe him...he's my dad. But I'm gonna be prayin like crazy.....

at this point, i'm not to proud to ask for help. unfortunately, i don't have paypal or anything else for that matter. I have a paycheck card, but i don't think it has a transfer ability.
i have been in contact with my parents, and they plan to come and get me this weekend. mom can't come due to work, which makes me scared. I know dad would try to do it alone. since his stroke, he has a had time concentrating on talking to me on the phone...let alone drive 7 hours to pick me up.
now i am really worried. if they can't get someone to come with dad...i have no where else to go or a way to move any of my things.
i have (had) a buddy that owns a condo he's not using, but he won't return any of my calls or messages. I haven't seen or talked to him in 2 months. it;s just me here guys......
i need help.
you still have two legs and a brain.
put them to work.
show your parents you have some inititive.

the only purchase planned...a phone card for my cell so that i have a phone for communication. it's all i have other than this.
sell the computer, buy a bus ticket.
I most often tend to agree with you, but on this one I have to disagree.
aramisvis' situation is most likely far from mine, but the computer can be a valuable job search tool. Time squandered though,,,
You said you didn't have much stuff, only a chest freezer that you were planning on selling. So take what you absolutely need, find a central location thats easy to find, and just hang out for a little bit until your parents can come get you.
Then, you work your butt off to find some work, get some income. But you have to get a positive attitude first. I know its tough to do in times like these, but not everyone is going to survive this, you gotta think to yourself.. "Am I meant to make it through this? Do I have something to offer to humanity before I go?" The answer better be YES!
So, one step at a time and do what you gotta do (within moral bounds of course).
Godspeed my brother.
i live in columbus, oh
and that is what i have been using my computer for. i do job searches every day, fill out several apps per day, i've already filled out 5 today. the only response i have had so far took 6 weeks from the day i applied. and that still isn't an offer yet. that was just for the return of the background check, which i just received yesterday. i have to fax that back signed to release my info, then wait more until they call for an interview.
i go in every other day and ask about it tho. i walk everywhere. no car or license. i'm having fun. [xx(]
Akkk, at 15mpg that's a bit far with the Wagg.
"i go in every other day and ask about it tho."
That's the right approach, they'll get the idea you're serious about working.
"i walk everywhere. no car or license. i'm having fun."
Aww, c'mon, might as well enjoy the exsercize[;)]
Really though, and I know you likely thought of it. Try hittin' all the convenience stores along the way. Anything at all beats goin' hungry. Been there, done that, it Sucks.
btw; how seriously f'ed up are things with you and the landlord? Every one I've ever had let me do repairs/upgrade work for rent.
believe it or not, i actually filled out an app to do just that since i do have remodeling experience....they aren't hiring. but i do still have the app in.
Ruger,
i have enough stuff to fill a 1 bd, 1 ba apt. the largest things are the couches, mattresses, and dressers everything else can be taken apart and stuffed. my concern then is my "kids"...i have 4 cats.
before anyone says "dump em", remember this... i was there to watch them all being born. i have raised them from day 1...to me, since crystal and i never got married or had children, they are my kids. i'd sooner starve myself than let them go without food. like those that have dogs and feel that love you share with them, that companionship....that's what i feel with them. no matter what hardship i have ever faced, they were and still are by my side...they are my family.
there was something inthe news saying that there is going to be a grace period from nov 25th to jan 1st on the evictions. you should look into it, might get you a couple months.
That is for foreclosures on homes,......not renters IIRC.

I know exactly how you feel.
Have you considered foster homes, lots of kind hearted folks give foster care for folks in just you sittuation. Just google "feline foster home", there just might be someone waiting to help.
I you don't want to call them yourself e-mail me your name and address. And I'll call the bishop of the closest LDS church for you

Are you good with your hands, can you fix things? Ok, I got your email and apparently you are capable. Im not going to promise you anything because I just dont know anything right now. I do have some friends over in Columbus and I have put in a call. They are away for thanksgiving. They do need people from time to time for jobs. I now have your email and I will let you know after thanksgiving. In the mean time, some guys hang out in front of lowes and talk to the contractors. They can give you work on the spot. Are you close to a Lowes?

Or check if scrap yards need some help- Its not an easy job, but a job none the less.
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Lood at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy (now).....
There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon past
Whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy
My situation was not the same as yours, but similar. Mike and I had been renting a house from his psycho adoptive mother. Unfortunately, I did not know how psycho she was until we were a year into it. It started out an ad hoc land contract deal, no documentation, as it was a family deal, we didn't think we would need it. And we were greedy, the place was perfect, so we weren't thinking to cover our bases with a contract. Anyhow, a year into the deal, she starts pressuring us to buy, knowing full well neither of us at the time had the means to do so, hence the "lease to own deal." Then, just before Thanksgiving, like you, we get a knock on the door, informing us that we were being evicted, we had 30 days to vacate. Turns out, she was taking our monthly payments, and not paying the morgage nor the taxes. Anyhow, as I was loathe to move my kids from the home and neighborhood they loved, let alone during the holiday season, I went before the town judge and requested that we be allowed to stay through the holidays, which he granted.
And no, neither Mike nor I have spoken to "Mom" since.
If you meet with the judge and ask permission to stay a little longer, they may let you.

I will give you some advice. If you have a lease to own agreement, that would be treated as same as a purchase agreement here in SC. Check with your state laws. Meaning it would have to be treated as a mortgage foreclosure. Here it would take 8 months at least to get to general sessions court ( main court ) not magistrates court which holds evictions for rental property. I would go see an attorney.
cartod, thanks for the call man. i do appreciate it.
the closest scrap yard is off a highway right at a merge/exit point and i'd have to try to cross that. i want a job, but i value my life more. same goes for the closest home depo.
if i were in a house, i'd try those other suggestions, but i'm in a ground floor 1 bd apt. not a great place. all the pizza places have my complex on the "no deliver" black list due to muggings and such. but when i was working, it was what i could afford... $380/mo water/gas included...kroger and k-mart right beside so i could walk (and yes, i have applied to both)
Jacob.... i remember that song...thanks for the flashback
I wish I could talk to the judge, I wanted to on monday but didn't even have money for bus fare. That judge only holds court on mondays, and i have to be out by sunday.

How much are you behind, how old are you, and what kind of work do you do?
34, 3 months ($1200), damn near anything (pharmacy tech, auto glass, auto repair-lost all my tools due to losing my house-, remodeling, management, sales... no car or DL though so i walk everywhere or when the weather is nice, bike) most recently, pharmacy tech....i loved that job. i like taking care of people.
i loved that job. i like taking care of people.
Now there's a plus in your favor. Have you looked into nursing homes? CNA's don't get paid the best, but they do get paid durring training. The job ain't no cake walk though. Parts of it can be pretty nasty. Most of them elderly folks truly do appreciate it when someone shows they care, and believe me a lot of CNA's are in it just for the paycheck.[:(!]
Here's something else. Have you been to the Ohio Department of Labor website? They should have links to on-line job services.
Also, if you have any Mennonites in your area they can be wonderful folks to know. Might even have temp or permanent work for you.
Loko...this is only a temporary set back...I'll be back here in no time and better than ever. I will still be getting on here, you can bet that. I have your email too, so I will be staying in touch. I may not return to Columbus proper, but OH hasn't seen the last of me...
that's the spirit,.keep your head up..I want you to go down around Huntington and find a job,college town plenty of chance there to find a good paying job..stay out of Franklin co. [;)]..keep the faith and do stay in touch when you get back to the Mountain state,..don't make me call you..lol..what a night that was..[:o)][:D][:D]..Loko
Nearly everyone goes broke at some time in their life. Many do it several times. You're young and you'll come back strong.
