Am enjoying my FREE new mini Laptop..


well not exactly Free but..close as was upgraded for free as my previous desktop was damaged due to faulty electrical wiring and I am deducted the costs for a new computer from my rent! It would have costed $70 to diagnose the problem,$100 for a new hard drive,the problem being old one was fried,$100 for repair plus tax so..since my old pc was about 2 1/2 years old and I wanted a laptop so I wouldn't have to sit in my unweatherized,freezing,dark home office..I just got what I wanted,lol..I come out ahead in the long run but fwas inconvenienced as had to use the computer at the library for the past 3 weeks! ugh...but, I am smiling NOW! The Dell mini laptop Intel Atom costed $ 270 with tax and free Fed Ex shipping! A real sTEAL!

Plugged in my Magic Jack for internet phone but all I get is dial tone and can't make a call so I need to get some help with this! ugh..I will delay my review of Magic Jack for another day.,

Visit your local library and save..


by not buying books,magazines,cd's,dvd's and renting them instead!

Save money on your rent! How? Screen your landlord! Then what? If he's a jerk who you think might be a slum lord who doesn't like to fix things,like his properties,then move in! Sound nuts? Not really! Why not? Well, when you move in,make it as livable as possible and then when you demand he fix things and he of course doesn't, then withhold the rent! Legal,Heck yes! Just remember to deposit it in a separate bank account and tell him in case he decides to evict you and take you to court! What to do til then?! Sit back and wait,like a spider,weaving his thread. Don't forget to laugh and thank God for your good fortune.

I find myself in a similar set of circumstances once again..First he has to give me an eviction letter. It may be arriving tomorrow. I predict after the 30 days,he won't get a court date til at least 5/6, that means April rent will be free as who pays someone when he is evicting you?!
He plays right into my hands...He is so predictable. He claims he doesn't have the money for the repairs. Then why is he renting the place out? It should just be a little summer cottage. What a jerk!
