I got a letter in the mail today from the law firm that represents my mortgage company. The letter says that the foreclosure sale that took place last year has been rescinded. It also enclosed an affidavit expunging the sheriff's deed on the mortgage sale. What does this mean? Do I still own the home? Are they going to go through the foreclosure all over again? My family and I have since moved because the redemption time was up on the house and the last letter I received from this law firm was that we needed to be out of the house by April 28. We are now leasing a place and have reestablished ourselves else where. In other words I have put the house behind me and do not wish to move back there to only to be foreclosed on again. I'm confused.

Yeah I've done the you make the mess you clean it up thing. It had no effect and has not stop her at all from getting into stuff and dumping it down the drain.

Thank You all for your input. While I know this problem will not be solved just by reading the message board, any advice is worth looking into to.

I am at my wits end with my 5 year old. She is in Kindergarten soon to be in 1st grad. She is into everything! It has gotten to the point where I have to have everything locked up, hidden away or up out of reach. And even then she somehow still finds stuff to get into. I can not keep soap in the bath tub because she will dump all of it out into the tube and down the drain. I can not keep toothpaste out because she will get a hold of it and smear it all over the walls and the sink. If I leave the salt shaker on the table she will pour the salt all over the table. I have had to hide my make up because last night she got into my nail polish and poured it out. . I bought her a bottle of detailing for her hair, and she got a hold of that and dumped it out. No amount of punishment makes any difference. No matter what the punishment is, she goes right back and does this stuff all over again. I have run out of places to hide stuff. I have locked up all the medications so she can not get into them. But this is a stressful way to live. I like for my things to be conveniently placed. Like makeup and tooth past in the bathroom. But I have to keep this stuff out of reach and hidden in a different room in order to keep her from getting into them. My husband works a lot and is away a lot for his job. So most of the time it is just me alone with the kid. I expected this to happen when she was 2 years old. And it did of cores and I thought at 2 and 3 years old it was normal. But now she is 5 and the behavior has not stop. Short of locking everything up and hiding everything I don't want her to have, I do not know what else to do.

Now I know the end is near! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDmkuBlEnUE&feature=related

Thank you for your reply. I wish I knew more about what is going on with her. But she will not share a lot about her personal stuff so all I ever hear is about her needed money. I will pass on to my husband when he talks to her again what you said about talking to a recruiter about her living situation. She does not talk to me very much. Thank you.

I am really not sure what to say in this post. I am thinking that their are a few of you here whom are serving in the service or who have been in the service and maybe you can help me find some answers to my stepdaughter's on going problems with money. My stepdaughter joined the National Guard about 2 years ago. She joined because she could not find a job. She graduated from boot camp and went on to get more training a few months later, then she graduated from that and was sent out into the civilian word except for when she needs to do her guard duty the one weekend a month.( I'm guessing its 1 weekend a month but I'm not really sure about that) In the time that she has graduated from her training she has been unable to find a job or keep a job for very long. So much so that she sends messages to the family saying she has no food to eat and no gas money. She moves from apartment to apartment moving in with people because she does not have the money to stay in one place and has to move in with whoever she can move in with. She sign up for collage which to my understanding was paid for by the National Guard. But when it came time for her to go she had had no job and had no money for the books and things she needed for collage. So she did not go. My understanding is that she got some money after she graduated from her training. But she never could find a job and I am thinking since she did not have employment she must have gone through that money. The latest news is that her car has been rebo and she bought another car but it broke down on her. She was working but with no car to get to work she got fired. She text a message last night to my husband (her father) telling him she has no money. This has been the issues for over 2 years now. She went into the National Guard because she had no money and no job, and now it seems she is no better off. We have suggested to her that maybe she should move closer to home. She is living in Alabama right now. But I guess she is in a unit that is not being deployed and she is afraid that if she transfers to different unit she maybe deployed. We have suggested that maybe she can go into the Guard full time instead of part time. But again she is afraid if she goes full time she will be deployed. The family really does not know what to do to help her. So I just thought that since she is in the National Guard if there is anything the Guard can do help her have a place to live and to get a job. She has sent countless emails telling us she has no money to live on. Since she is so far away I do not know the full story of what is really going on. So I am just looking to see if anyone has any advice that I could pass on to her, maybe someone in the National Guard she can contact that maybe she can talk to to see if they can help her get some money for food and housing? I don't know, I'm just trying to help.

Well when bath salts are called the new drug of choice, there is no doubt in my mind that the end is near.

Have you ever been afraid to be happy? It almost scares me when things start to go good in my life because I think that if I allow myself to become "too happy" something bad is going to happen. I am almost afraid to tell people" hey things are going good for me" because I am sure I will jinks something and it's all going to start falling apart. It just seems like bad things happen so much more often then good things. I wish I was not like this but I am.

Alright I've been thinking again. I hear a lot about how kids today are too fat and who is to be blamed! While I agree that parents should take responsibility and think about what foods they are bringing into the household. And take a look at how many hrs a day they allow their kid to spend sitting on their butts watching tv or playing video games instead of doing something physical. I do wonder though if a parent happens to have a fat kid, is it really, truly the parent's fault. The reason I ask this is because I come from a very large extended family of aunts, uncles and many many cousins. Taking a look at my extended family I have cousins who are in the same family and one of them will be fat and one of them will be skinny. The same goes for my friends and their brothers and sister. I had a friend in high school who was very much over weight. Her sister though was very slim and skinny. Looking at this is seem to me that if the parents were fully to blame for having a fat kid, wouldn't all the kids in the family be fat? While I have seen whole families were the mother, father and all the kids are really overweight. I ask the question is is really because of how they live, or is it just that some kids inherit something that makes them put on the pounds while other kids do not. So anyway that is what I have been thinking about. Any thoughts?

I tip my hat to you!

what is in the glass?

With the lost of my house and the redemption period up a week ago, I have now gone from home owner to renter. I'm not complaining. I am very grateful me and my little family found a place that was willing to rent to us and let us keep our dog too. But having been the owner of my own home for 7 years and now having to give up the freedom that comes with that, it is an adjustment. I can't just paint the walls purple just because I feel like it. I need to ask before I hang up photos on the wall. And if something needs fix, it is not up to me to just fix it. So I am learning what it is like to be a renter all over again. And like I said I am not complaining. Just trying to adjust.

Oh great! It took months for me to get that bunny out of my head after seeing that movie. Im not normally freak out by stuff in movies. But that giant freaky bunny scared the crap out of me! For weeks I was afraid to look in the bathroom mirror cause I kept seeing that bunny thing standing behind me. And so I will have to spend some more time trying to get that out of my head.

Okay, I got our local paper yesterday and this photo was on the front page. Is anyone else freaked out by giant bunny rabbits? Or am I just weird? It looks like the little girl is saying "help me, help me"! http://lapeerareaview.mihomepaper.com/news/2011-04-21/Front_Page/Hippity_Hoppity.html

This rant is about my husband. Whom I am mad at right now. You see, he says he does not have time to do things like setting up services for stuff or what not. So he gets me to do it. Then he does not like how I did it. Tells me that I should not have set things up the way that I did, and that I should have sit it up a different way. He told me to go get a rental storage place so we can store our junk in because we are moving to a smaller place. When I ask, why can't you do this he tells me he does not have time he has to work. So...off I go to rent out a storage place. So I did that. I rented us a storage place. Now he is telling me I did not do it the way I was suppose to and that I was suppose to pay for 6 months of rent on the place! He didn't say anything about that! He just said, go get the storage place I don't have time! I have told him to just do this stuff yourself cause you never like how I do things. It's always I have to work I don't have time. In the end a lot of times he finds the time to redoing whatever it is I did and sitting it up the way he likes it. End of rant thank you.

So...what's the issue? Looks to me like a mom having some fun time with her kid.

There are somethings I just don't want to know about. I think this is one of them.

Nope no government housing. Just a local person who was renting out a house. Anyway we decided to go someplace else. Thanks for the feedback.

Honestly, I have never had to fill out a rental application before. The first 2 places I ever rented all I had to do was talk to the landlord, put up the deposit and first month's rent and agree to the less. So I am not use to filling out a rental application and am unsure about what should be on them. So anyway, I was out yesterday looking at a house for rent and the landlord gave me a rental application to fill out. I took it home with me and started looking it over. The application wants to know the name of my bank and all of my account numbers. It wants to know the name of my credit cards and all of the account numbers on them. Also it ask for my SS number. I do not feel comfortable giving out that kind of information. I mean someone gets your SS number along with bank numbers and credit card numbers and your kind of screwed if they are dishonest. I can see giving out info on your income and if you have a checking account but not the numbers on that account. Is this the way it is on all rental applications? Do they really need to ask for bank numbers and credit card numbers?

I don't get the "your being selfish" crap if you don't want to have a kid. What is so selfish about not wanting to have a kid? I have never heard anyone say your being selfish if you don't want a dog. And I have both a dog and a kid and the dog is better behaved. Anyway I don't get the whole selfish thing. Before I had a kid I would be asked by people "do you have kids" and when I would say no they would ask me why and when I said I don't want any they would try to talk me into having one. And act like I was some kind of freak because I didn't want to have one. Personally I think my choice to have kids is none of their business. And I am not just talking family doing this I am talking just people I worked with would try to convince me that I should have kids. And it does not stop there. Once you have one kid, they try to talk you into having more. And if you do not want to have more they act like your some kind of freak and keep trying to talk you into having another kid! Don't let people make you feel like their is something wrong with you for not having one. Their a lot of work. I remember one year for Christmas all I asked for was 8 hrs of sleep. I didn't get it.

Yep, the pizza/corner store that is up the road from me closed down. It has been open since before I moved. Don't know what happen. It is in a rural area so its not like there is a lot of stuff near by.

Just a question. Why does she need to be supported? What I mean is can she only get through giving up something for Lent if everyone else around her give it up too? I can understand not eating chocolate around her as a way to show support, but I don't understand why everyone else has to practice Lent just because she is. You should practice Lent because of your own personal believe to do so. Not just because someone else is going it.

They all lost their houses. Including me.

Sounds wonderful. I wish you a happy life together.
