Church Of The Ascension Driveway Drama Cont.Category: church of the ascension
I can't believe this is still going on. All I want is for them to not drive on my property or to block my in the driveway.
Today I get a letter from their lawyer asking us to forward the letter to our lawyer. He didn't even get Terry's name right.
I love how it mentions "their driveway." It seems simple to me. Here is the property map. Notice their "driveway" is only 3.5 feet. Not wide enough for a car. Since then they have slowly added more stones to their grass, and just parked on the grass until it became drivewayish, but the skirt remains the same size.
When the previous owner bought the house in 2001, the church had an agreement with the new owner of the house to allow the church unobstructed access to the driveway to "provide ingress and egress from linwood avenue to the grantors remaining property." This makes it clear that their part of the skirt was not large enough.
The kicker is that "the reservation of rights shall not be covenant that runs with the land and does not bind all successors, heirs or assigns of grantee."
Well thats me. I bought the house from the guy with 2001 agreement in 2006. At that point there was no agreement, nor do I permit them to use my land or driveway for access. It would have been a different story if the people were not so rude and obnoxious, and did not do things like drive on my lawn, block me in, scream at me telling me they went have been here longer than I have, etc.
Here are the docs in PDF format:

Bubbies Litchi Icecream DessertCategory: food
(E:lilho) bought these delicious litchi mochi ice cream treats for (e:matthew) for his birthday but he didn't like them for some reason. So I tried one and to me, they are the tastiest dessert ever.
The outside is a sweet chewy mochi with litchi ice cream inside. We got them at premier on Delaware and there are a bunch of other flavors.

Nope the format is fine, I just looked. The issue is that I have it expecting a space or new line at the beginning. That is why the same :::link::: works here. I will fix it later tonight and it will update.

Why didn't that convert to a link? Is it coded so that only things that end in htm/l convert to hyperlinks?

I miss having real litchis and a fruit called the "nongu" that grows on palm-like trees. It looks like an egg, has an egg like shell that you peel off, inside it's like a litchi with a tender coconut flavor and at the core is juice that is like a blend of coconut water and sweet litchi juice. Seriously, the nongu blows your mind. I once ate 30 of them one after the other on one vacation to my grandma's. I just couldn't stop. I was in nongue heaven... and then went to hang out that beach later that evening. I miss the beach.

From gold teeth to grillzCategory: web
I was searching for the cost of getting gold teeth 
when I found grillz. They seem like a real cheap rip off on gold teeth. Are these really popular?

My quest for static IP at homeCategory: computers
I want a static IP at my house with minimum 5mbps upload. Why is this so damn difficult in 2011? Right now I am "live chatting" with a Time Warner agent. I thought maybe it would be better than talking to them on the phone. Each time I called I got a different answer with prices in all sorts of ridiculous ranges to, "they don't offer it at my location."
Them: Please provide you name
Me: Paul
Them: Thank you for providing your name.
Me: I want a static IP with a minimum of 5mbps upload speed. How much is that?
A MINUTE PASSES
Them: I understand you are an existing custome rof Time Warner Cable and would like to start a new account with static ip and Internet service at the same address. Is that correct.
Me: yes, that is what I said. It needs a minimum of 5mbps. How much does that cost.
A MINUTE PASSES
Me: Is this a difficult question?
Them: Sure I will be glad to assist you.
30 seconds go by
Them: May I have your zip code
Me: 14209-2204
Them: Thank you for providing your zip code
Them: May I know the service you are using with Time Warner.
Me: Why does it matter I want a separate account.
Me: Right now I have roadrunner home internet, but I really want a new separate account
3 MINUTES GO BY
Them: Thank you for the confirmation
Them: I would like to inform you that you can not set up two accounts at the same address.
Me: What is the cost of a static IP? You are making this exceedingly difficult.
Them: I would like to inform you that you need to contact our local Time Warner Cable Office in order to have information on the static IP. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience caused. Would you like the number?
Me: yes
Them: You can contact our local Time Warner Cable Office at 716-558-3000 or 866-668-6044
Them: If you have just another moment, I would to ask a question or two about you situation to see whether we can make your servie even more enjoyable for your family. Will that be alright?
Me: The local number does not work. It keeps dying as soon as I dial it.
Them: I am sorry about your experience.
So I call the 866 number. Turns out that is also the wrong number for what I need. They transfer me to business class.
Finally I get an answer:
35/5 $119/month with a three year contract
Them: Please provide you name
Me: Paul
Them: Thank you for providing your name.

I always wonder who works at helpdesk, be it roswell or anywhere else. They all share that peculiarly annoying quality of not understanding what anyone really wants, even when stated in simple straightforward terms. Maybe they are all come from the same dense planet.
