  • HOA and Permits?

    My HOA says they can not issue an Approval Letter for Hurricane Shutters installation until permit is filed.. and the Shutters company says they can not file for a permit until they have an Approval Letter from HOA. I'm stuck in the middle and in danger of having to cancel my project from lack of options. I understand both points of view but that leaves ME with no options. What to do?

  • Is there a correlation between Hunger and Building a nest in Betta Fish?

    He is an aging Betta, and out of all 3 of my Bettas he has been consistently the best one (Healthiest?) but in the last 3 months or so he has been building nests non-stop.

    However, he has lost appetite and his personality seems to have changed a bit to something more relaxed and non-caring. My 2nd Betta has started to do the same thing, and is also less hungry.

    Does building nests have something to do with this? They seem to be in a trance when taking care of the nest.

  • Homestead Exemption in Florida and Filing your Taxes.?

    Is there any documentation required for the tax preparer (in this case, TurboTax) regarding your Homestead Exemption?

    I realize this may be a silly question, but I filed using TTax, and it never asked about Homestead Exemption throughout the process.

  • Bathtub/shower area too dark!?

    I just re-did my bathroom in a new apartment. It wasn't until I actually bought the curtains that I realized it is way too dark in the tub area once they are closed.

    My Construction person says he's going to put in some lights designed for damp areas on the ceiling within the shower area.

    I need to look into this so that I can buy the materials. What type of Light fixtures am I looking for? I can't be the only one with this problem. I'd ask him, but he's gone for a week on vacation and I'd like to have what I need by the time he gets back.

  • What are my rights as a property buyer in deal gone-wrong?

    I am a buyer (condo) who has met all responsibilities in my role of a buyer and I'm ready to Close prior to my originally agreed closing date.

    The closing date is fast approaching. The realtor for seller is non-responsive and the seller is out of the country whom has given him Power of Attorney to close the deal.

    What are my legal rights as a buyer if they do not meet the closing date? I'm not looking for a meal ticket but there have been honest-to-goodness expenses I will have incurred if they can't close.

    There have been appraisal fees, inspection fees, and there will be storage fees that I will have paid in vain when I can't close on time due to the negligence on the Seller's part.

    I'm willing to even file an extension but quite frankly I'm being kept in the dark by the realtor regarding what the delays are and why. I've made no progress in getting feedback and it looks like the April 30th deadline will not be made at this point.

  • Realtor with power of attorney?

    Duties and responsibilities?

    I am the buyer. I am closing on an apartment and the sellers realtor has a power of attorney. He removed the personal belongings from the sellers apartment.

    Now that it has come time to close the deal he says that he's waiting for the power of attorney from the seller who is out of the country in order to sign.

    Didn't he need power of attorney to begin with in order to remove the personal property.??

    Where do I failed to see the logic in this?

  • Iphone 3G WiFi Problem?

    My iPhone 3G sees my home router and it accepts my password but the "3G" sign remains on the top of the phone. It does NOT switch to the WiFi Icon but it shows as connected otherwise.

    What am I doing wrong? It says connected but it obviously isn't because the "3G" sign remains on the top!!

  • 2005 Mustang V6 - Check Engine Light after mild front end collision?

    My 2005 V5 Mustang was involved in a bumper-to-bumper accident. It wasn't MAJOR but enough to have the radiator damaged.

    The car was repaired and I've been driving it for about 2 weeks now.

    I noticed the check-engine light came on today on my way home from work. The repair shop hasn't mailed me the detailed invoice of what was done to it yet so I'm not sure what parts (other than the obvious) were replaced or worked on. All I know is that it was close to $4000 including labor, parts, and front paint job.

    The car drives fine otherwise, and I do not see the temperature gauge any different so its not over heating or anything.

    Lucky me! It went out of warranty 1 month ago. This plays a part in case the repair shop says it isn't a result of the accident!

    What could it possibly be? That light never came on before the accident!

  • Microsoft Excel 2007 - Protecting Cell(s)?

    I want to make parts of my worksheet unavailable to users so that they can not click in the cell, change formats of the cell(s), etc..

    Excel Help tells me that the only way to do this is if I am SHARING the workbook but this is not that kind of thing. It's not on a network and it's not a multi-user workbook.

    How do I protect (for example) A1:A10 yet leave everything around it open for data-entry?

    PS: I am working with Excel 2007, but I also need this information for my 2003 files that I use on another computer as well.

    Any help would be appreciated!!

  • What is the difference between Bankruptcy and...?

    With a (very) low credit score, no financial institution is willing to help me with a consolidation loan based on signature (I have no assets to use as collateral). After having lost my job and having my vehicle stolen I am no longer able to satisfy my credit card payments which have gotten out of control and it is unlikely I will ever catch up to them. They're way too high and piling up.

    My credit score is way too low and 4 banks have already turned me down for a loan. Each time I apply it affects the Beacon score even more.

    I've contemplated filing Bankruptcy.

    My question is: If I don't file Bankruptcy and just ignore my bills, what is the difference? My credit couldn't go down any more than it is. It's in the 400's range already.

  • Animated (3d) PC Chess Game?

    I used to have a Chess game for my pc where the pieces were people, and when you moved a piece they would "walk" to their destination and fight each other.

    I'm looking for something like this online and I can't find anything like it. I don't remember the name of the game or its manufacturer.

    Any clues as to what it was or something similar to it? It was not an internet game, it was a Player Vs. Computer only.

    Thanks!
