They don't sell houses for cheap to families with 2 kids and a wife on disability. They want of course to make $30,000 or more on this house... like the other homes they offer for sale that they take money from the Federal Government Neighborhood Stabilization Program and Brownfield Programs to fix up and then sell for a loss vs the cost put into the home Essentially.. they take the money to fix these houses up above the cost of sale from the US Taxpayers and that is bigger business than selling the home to my family.
So I'm moving in with my mom and putting my stuff into storage; and selling a bass and everything else project related to either help pay for the moving costs or whatever else comes up. If I have cash left over the wife might let me get a 5-string because it would increase the amount of gigs I can take on.

Hope you get it sorted out soon, buddy. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Lansing, Michigan | | | I awoke to find out my wife maxed out the credit card on car repairs without me. So thanks to my gig schedule which has me loosing sleep to be up at the day (get home late fall asleep late sleep late), my wife thought that I would enjoy the sleep rather than haggling with the car tire place about tires. See, she slid into a curb today on the first snow freeze. I have not been able to keep up on getting two new front tires, but the tire place saw the plastic and thought she would need FOUR new tires.. RIGHT... NOW.. Now I'm broke and I really need to sell this neck. I mean really need to sell this neck. Im unemployed, I just found out last night that I'm loosing my regular gigs coming up next year. I has lost $300 worth of work this week to death and other acts of God. I dunno how I'm gonna do this.
I'll probably be listing my last bass guitar for sale soon to come up with bill money because this neck will not sell. When I listed this neck, somebody else listed one $100 cheaper. I mean.. I cannot come up with a longer list of bad stuff to happen to one person.
So Im unemployed, practically gigless (What is $100 a week income anyways, but crap) and my cards are maxed out on moving expenses and emergency car work that happened.. I'm screwed
New price drop.
