to accept a certain amount in settlement of the real estate with my in-laws. After I made the offer we discovered a damaging fact against the in-laws. I would say that today went rather well. I won't know if the in-laws accept since it's a Holiday weekend. One major issue is getting ready to end thank goodness.

Next I'll be able to concentrate on protecting myself from my next door neighbor's harassment. She is always trying to talk to me through my neighbor I am friends with. Tonight she told him that I can use some of her yard powder in my yard to get rid of fleas. She told the same neighbor and his girlfriend about a month ago that she's not mad at me and that I can use her water spiket for my garden. Well, it's not her water spicket to say that about. It's for the use of all the apartments in our building because there's only one water spicket per building. I still do not want to even go in her yard. She lies in court about me and turned the tables on who did what and she wants to say she's not mad at me. If anyone should be mad it's me. The woman is not someone I trust or want to be on the friendly side with. She got friendly with me before I took her to court so I wouldn't be prepared and then made me out to be the guilty one.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Barbara

i am glad today went well.

i am a little confused about the damaging fact and the offer... could the damaging fact rock the boat in your favor - i.e. land you the whole house?

well anyway, i hope it works out well... keep us posted.

And yes you're right to be always on guard about your neighbor - and any spokesperson for her - she really pulled a mean one on you last time. wolf in sheep's clothing that one.

take care. Enjoy the long weekend!

Thanks Waves. The most I can get out of the house is half of the sale of it. Technically when my ex passed his half goes to his estate and not me. I technically owned only half of the house.

I hope you can sleep better.

Dear Befuddled,

I am happy to hear that this chapter is coming to a close and your can move on to your other chapters.

In the meantime, stay away from your weirdo neighbor.
Something MIGHT be wrong with her. You can't deal upfront with her. Please be very careful.

Well, that does sound good, Barbara!

I hope that will give you enough economic security to affect your ability to move sooner than later... though i realize finding a place is still an issue, and time is needed to look at places and not make rushed decisions.

I bet this is a relief anyway to have the house thing somewhat sorted, even if not finalized yet, and knowing you aren't losing out totally. Half is pretty good.

Well you hang in there

Dear Barbara,
this sounds fair don't you think?
glad that this settled for you.
Now if you could just move. and find a decent place to live...have yous till thought about moving to another apartment on the location, would that be an option?

Thank you all. The deal with the in-laws is not final yet so I can't be counting my chickens yet. I don't really want to move out of where I live just because of my neighbor as that would be letting her win. No matter where I go I won't be able to afford anything much better with my low income. Money in the savings account does not matter in determining income requirements for a decent apartment.

For any of you who pray, please pray for me to have strenght for tomorrow when I am scheduled for court with in-laws. I plan to wake up at 9:30 p.m. EST to wait to see if my lawyer contacts me over the offer I made. I'm going to be a bundle of nerves from now till it's over.

Prayers and thoughts coming from Indiana.

Dear Barbara,

Hugs and good vibes to you, and a prayer to the cosmic powers for your steadfastness and for your success in getting a fair settlement.

Here's hoping your lawyer contacts you with the good news that your offer was accepted, so you can avoid the court hassle.

(The new shoes will still be handy for a less nerve-wracking occasion! We still would love a picture of them though. Maybe you can distract yourself for a little while, doing that? )
