I am not a troll, however you define troll its not me. I have been a member on this site for only 3 years, but thats quite a bit longer than a troll. Also I don't understand what I have done that you choose to judge me so harshly.
You went off on me because my child support was 17 dollars per two week paycheck while ignoring that I had no control over that amount. You also ignored that I had been paying 600 dollars a month prior to her turning 18.
In my trailer tax thread you correctly assumed that I am a victim of my own poor life decisions. Who among us has not made mistakes? People on BBI start threads quite frequently asking for help. Is it wrong in your opinion for me to ask for help?
I always liked you on BBI. Was this a poor life decision too?
Wait - a couple of things...

I did not go off on you about child support.

I questioned your assertion that the state purposely caused your daughter to fail tests, once by being drugged and the other by either breaking her glasses or not letting her wear them or something along those lines to keep her in foster care (or a ward of the state).

Then there is a thread about the trailer situation. I don't think I had any problem with the child support - it was coming to the board asking whether you should give your daughter $100 in cash or in gift cards.

The fact that I'm remembering this stuff means I already know way too much than I should.

That isn't on me.

Didn't mean to question the whole life decision thing - but this board has been trolled long term before by guys like Rich Houston. Just wondering if the requests for some strange questions was trolling.

I guess I was wrong, although I'm not sure that's good either.
I go back and forth

on wgenesis stuff, going to give him the benefit of the doubt, doesn't seem to be a bad guy, more like a guy that has had his share of shit to deal with that is unusual
On the failed test I have my daughter, my mother, and my sister  
wgenesis123 : 8/29/2015 9:09 am : link
telling me this is what happened. I may be wrong to choose to believe them, but I do because it all makes sense with what the counselors were telling me. I am not sure it is wrong to share on a site where no one knows you. I will however bear your opinion in mind in the future and be more carefull about how much I share. Thank you for responding.
One small problem with our community...  
okiegiant : 8/29/2015 9:09 am : link
is there are a lot of thread starters who state the most asinine things. Although these threads/comments are usually great from an entertainment point of view they can lead to problems for people actually asking for advice or making statements they believe in.

Now BBI really isn't the place to get life advice, but it's a great place to bounce ideas off folks and get some new perspectives.

Then along comes a poster who is just looking for some laughs, or a little pot stirring, and well...sometimes the other folks out there don't know for sure if it's real, or not.

I generally go by the handle. This usually works but with all the new posters you never know. The sad thing is I see a new handle and automatically assume the worst. I've kinda come to expect this over the years here.

Thank you, the Fatnman was correct about one thing in the trailer thread, I made a poor decision.

Agree with these comments, though on occasion, there is some good life advice here too.

Tim from Mystic benefited from our advice. He got the girl.
You're right, there is lots of good life advice here...

please don't modify your posting or your topics because of me.
Using BBI as an advice board..

can be helpful. I apologize for assuming you were trolling.
Oh, by the way

I don't think this is sharing to much, my daughter is coming home on Tuesday. Unfortunately not to my home, the state choose to place her in my Mom's home. My mom is 83.

if you are legit and you have a problem or you are looking for solace after experiencing a loss, tere a lot of people who care about it, there is a sense of community amongst strangers.

parents who didn't go to school, went to college, still get blamed for everything. Make more money than they do (don't even need my college degree) and now they tell me to get married.

Worked 6-? whatever time Grasso gets done, I can do whatever I want. Was there a fire on the island of greats today? I think that was me. Sirens and yup. life is fucking good sometimes, ya know. Keep your head up wgenesis, don't let the lesser kind try and pull you down with them.
Exercise, eat right and get plenty of sleep.

Life will be much more enjoyable when you take care of the equipment.
I wish I had the sense to start a thread a few months ago,  
wgenesis123 : 8/29/2015 10:25 am : link
purchasing a trailer, actually getting it for free, any advice. Maybe, just maybe someone would have had the foresight to tell me to do a title search. Anyway to anyone who read my thread, atleast you don't have to be as dumb as I was. Always look a gifthorse i9n the mouth.
If you live by the maxim..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 8/29/2015 10:29 am : link
that nothing is free in this world you will question anything that "looks too good to be true".

I've used that advice throughout my life.
Good advice.  
wgenesis123 : 8/29/2015 10:37 am : link
That being said I am very happy here and if $11,000.00 is the cost of being happy I will somehow pay it.
BTW genesis- about the trailer:  
Cam in MO : 8/29/2015 12:27 pm : link
A few people suggested taking a loan out on it (like a second mortgage) to pay the taxes- as far as I know, that's barking up the wrong tree for two reasons:

1- aside from maybe a payday loan type place with criminal interest charges you're not going to get any sort of home improvement or second mortgage loan- it just isn't done on manufactured homes/trailers. They aren't really built to last like a house.

2- you're also not going to be able to get a loan on something to pay off a tax lien. It is possible, I believe but most lenders see it as a catch-22. They won't loan/sell/refinance until the lien is paid off.

Your best bet is to get a tax attorney to work out a payment plan with the state/municipality. If funds are not available for the retainer, you can simply do this yourself, although that likely will involve more work/time on your part.

Your last option is to just not pay, and risk them selling the trailer at auction for their tax money, which really is not in their best interest to do considering the resale value of trailers and the cost of auction.

My $.02.

One word of advice

Just got news on the taxes.  
wgenesis123 : 8/29/2015 7:03 pm : link
The previous owner claims she had to show proof that she paid the taxes before she could sign the title over. Got a message from her on my cell phone, she claims she has documents to prove it and will gladly produce them. Don't know what to make of this one way or another at this point, but quite naturally I am hoping its true. Not going to allow myself to believe it though until I know its true and the debt is removed.
