Quoted from flynnibus:Father whose last reported income was 2012...as unemployment...
That usually is enough in itself to cause stress
I would be stressed too if the unemployment rate was 4.7% (lowest ever) the last few years, and I could not find a job.
Quoted from toyotaboy:I can see how she's pissed off that she also trusted kevin "IE sharing a bank account and mixing money because he's your husband".
If she mixed ANY of her own money into the Scat-B's account, there would be a record of that activity.
The bank keeps a record of EVERY PENNY you deposit into an account.
If she deposited $28,900 into the Scat-B account of grandma's cash, there would also be a Form 8300 filed with the IRS.
Quoted from toyotaboy:and asking what she's responsible for so she can make plans to pay back what she's responsible for even if it means refinancing and taking the hit of a giant loan embedded into the mortgage so this can be over and she can move on.
C'mon, wise up.
What bank do you think is going to give a mother of 5, who's on Welfare & Foodstamps, a mortgage on a house located in a flood plain?
Quoted from Cybergoonie:When I heard the amount I assumed it was just earnest money or a % of cash taken to start building a home. Not the entire purchase price.
When all the housing market crashed in 2009, you get buy as many houses as you wanted at those prices.
In Detroit, the houses were too cheap to sell individually, so banks were selling "Ten Packs" for $9,000

Quoted from Richthofen:And maybe, just maybe, some poorer people have large families because that's the one thing they can invest time and love in that isn't going to be subject to whether they can afford it or not.
People want to have large families so they can be extra unhappy with their lives:

Quoted from rammstein99:Some people even migrate to a given country and have as many kids as they possibly can because they're trying to take over the host country through birth rate alone.
Visit the USA
Most cities nowadays are so overcrowded with immigrants, you can't find a single Native American.
Quoted from KeithinMI:anyone have the quick link to VirutaPin's post about not producing cabinets for Skit-B unless they had a license?
Don't forget that Scat-B could have shown any piece of paper to VP and said it was a license. It's not like VP has a licensing office to interpret a contract and follow up on it's authenticity. It's not like 20th Fox has a 24hr hotline that you call.
Same if a sign shop makes a Mustang GT sign for a dealership. The sign shop has no way of knowing if the dealership is truly licensed.
Quoted from genex:for clarification, the top line Canon lenses are "L" series and are often white barrelled for the longer focal lengths.
This is my personal favorite lens:
The Canon 1200mm gives me the reach I need when peering into other's lives.
My boss says Canon only make 2 of these a year, because the crystal for the optic takes forever to grow.
Quoted from lancestorm:I've always thought that it was probably more like $500, max. I don't want to bring Stern into this and the issues with their cabinet...but if I were them I would have certainly looked at doing everything I could to reduce a cost of a $1500 -1900 box! Volume probably helps, but still way more expensive than I ever thought. That's like 25% the cost of a game right there !!!!
Remember, everything is volume, and then location.
Greater Chicago has all those suppliers local for cheap shipping and delivery.
When CCC says they deliver a decaled cab for $490, they are delivering tens of thousands to Stern.
When they are doing $200 playfields, you are again talking about thousands.
Consumers pay $25 for a sheet of tempered glass, but Gene said he was paying @ $6.50 a sheet.
Paying $15 for a set of legs is way better than $50 - but you got to buy 50,000 of 'em.......

Quoted from TigerLaw:The fed gov supplements flood insurance in US. It's only something like $450 a year no matter where your house is (my understanding anyway).
It's $450 for the lowest risk areas.
In a high risk area like Kev's it's over $4000
Quoted from benheck:It seems like the chances of recovery now have been literally washed away. They're now got a great sob story for this very lenient judge.
Sorry about the pizza party folks.
Although the particle board trailer is probably going to be mold city next week, the house has flooded many times and continues to stand.
Quoted from Nibbles:thought the camper was stored at a different site?
When you hear that there is a ton of rain coming and there are flood warnings; that's always the best time to drag a trailer into a floodplain....
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:Floodplain maps like this one show the area for a 100 year floodplain and other information.
100 year??
Kev needed the one that shows Every year.....because the house he bought is in a Flood-Meadow (floods yearly).
Quoted from Travish:Rookies... this is WAY better.
Cool pic, but those pipes are on the EXHAUST .
A Snorkel goes on the engine air INTAKE to allow the truck to drive in deep water without filling the pistons with water .
If water fills the pistons, the engine hydrolocks and oftentimes throws a rod through the engine wall (you can't compress a liquid....).
The house flooded last year.
It will food next year, too.
The only thing they could inexpensively do to save the house is to make the basement taller.
(same thing people do to make their 6' basement ceilings 9' like a normal room)
Each cinder block costs $1, and the bricklayer that lays them gets $1 a block (he may earn less in a backwater town).
Each cinder block is 8x8x16", so a few courses of block latter, the house is above the historical high water mark.
The basement will still flood every year, but at least the house will stay dry.
The comments are great below the story.
I'm sure all their neighbors are like "Really?? People sent THEM millions of dollars to build a pinball machine????
I lent them my Comcast remote so they could test their cable box and never got it back....."
Quoted from dontfeed:This may have been said before, but the more I think about this the more I believe they were hoping, maybe even planning for this to happen.
Buy a home in a flood plain for cheap.
Wait for the inevitable flood to happen.
Suck up all the assistance, charity and donations they can.
Claim "All is lost, We have nothing. Records, receipts, everything gone!"
Then again, maybe I'm giving them to much credit for thinking ahead.
It flooded last year too
Quoted from lancestorm:If there is a real need for shelter and clothing (particularly for the kids), the Kulek's should still have access to it, even if it comes from other people that don't know about the on-going proceedings.
The Red Cross is set up in MI to help people who got flooded with lodging, food and bottled water.
It's in the companion article on the same page.
"The Michigan Red Cross was able to set up everything at the high school in about an hour, according to John Fouts, who does logistics work for the Michigan Red Cross.
"Including event-based volunteers, we had about 10 volunteers here last night," he said. "We had 12 people registered (last night), but we will probably double that tonight."
Nurses, mental health experts, mass care and logistics are all on site to service each shelter.
"
Quoted from TheLaw:And they never should have been posted in the first place.
Takes 2 seconds to censor the faces of kids out of a photo.
Daily newspapers publish children's photos all the time, sometimes even with their names!
Although it is fun to call into radio shows ranting about "stranger danger" and newspaper photos......
Quoted from maddog14:plenty of good Samaritans on pinside.... just not to those that steal thousands of dollars.
Exactly.
I have a double-wide that I would gladly give to a fellow pinballer in need, for free.
But once someone reaches into my pocket, they at least owe me a h*****b

To celebrate the divorce, Bestbuy is selling the Bluray triple feature of all 3 Predator movies for $11 (choose instore pickup to save $1)
(call the phone number on the back of the box if you want to obtain a license to manufacture Pinball machines)

Quoted from Slash:at what point did this particular game become “legal”?
Is it only after it has passed through a number of hands first it suddenly becomes legal?
Just like a stolen car.
Once it passes through 2 owners, it's legal again.
