Hoa

Donna asks…How do you deal with an HOA that won't return your calls regarding fees?Ive been calling the main person for my HOA and leaving messages and I'm getting no reply. They sent us a letter stating we had a $200 fee which we were not responsible for since we were not residing at the location. My only option seems to be to report them to the BBB. Has anyone else had to deal with lazy HOA's like this? I really can't afford to pay for someone else's mistakes.Anne answers:Send a certified letter stating your response, keep a copy, and note in there all the times you called the number and

Hoard

Donna asks…Is it that corporations hoard such a huge amount of all monies that the world almost suffered an economic fall?They are so greedy, so unrepentant and so soulless. Also what is patriotic about them/ Nothing. They just take take take more of the pie and send jobs to India and China. They need a tea party trip to the wood shed. Agree?Anne answers:And just how are these corporations any different from people like you?

All you are is a mirror image of them. All you want is more money for less work and a 'larger piece of the pie' without bothering to earn it. And if you want to stop

Hoarders

Sandra asks…Why do most women enjoy watching Hoarders?It seems to be universal, from all age groups. From young women to older cougar-types, why do women seem to dig this show so much?Anne answers:Because it makes us feel better about our own housekeeping skills. I've never seen that show (I don't have cable), but I used to watch one called "How Clean Is Your House?", and it was crazy. It always make me feel better about a few dirty dishes in the sink or a floor that needed vacuuming. Most of the places on that show were actual health hazards!Donald asks…What's a good anniversary present

Hoarding

Richard asks…How hypocritical is it that the Catholic Church condemns hoarding wealth when It has done that for centuries??I find it almost comical that the Catholic Church condemns hoarding wealth when it has stashed billions away while the flock suffers around the world. When was the last time that Rome donated anything to the poor. Catholic Charities is from the congregations not the mother church. The recent move to close so many schools and churches also demonstrates the lack of concern for the followers by Rome. After 50 years as a Catholic I have given up on it. The failure of

Charles asks…Do you think global warming is a genuine threat or a hoax?I've heard and seen a lot of evidence that global warming is not a hoax, and yet there is also a lot of evidence and argument against its authenticity. What do you think? Name sources if possible.Anne answers:FIRST OF ALL IT IS CLIMATE CHANGE NOT GLOBAL WARMING ....AND CLIMATE CHANGE IS MADE UP OF COOLING AND WARMING CYCLES... THE WARMING CYCLE WE ARE IN NOW IS VERY TRUE AND IT BEGAN AT THE END OF THE LAST ICE AGE ABOUT 10 T0 15,000 YEARS AGO ... AND IT WAS NOT CAUSED BY MAN ....SIMPLY THE NATURAL CYCLIC RHYTHM OF THE

Ken asks…Is it legal for HOA to refuse fixing the boiler until the cost is fully funded?In my condo, our boiler is old and broken that needs to be replaced (told by technician). My HOA, however, is refusing to start replacing until the necessary cost is collected by every unit, as it's very costly and there's not enough in our reserve. We have NO hot water now for 2 days and are we just supposed to sit and wait? Is this legal? Any help would be appreciated!Anne answers:Legal yes. But it is irresponsible, dangerous and unhealthy.

I'm trying to think ahead, how can I make money off of it?Anne answers:You have to apply for a grant to study the effects of "global warming". That's the preferred way to make money from it.

Betty asks…Why do animal hoarders almost always hoard cats?I know that other animals get hoarded too but most of the time it's cats. I wonder why.Anne answers:I would guess it's because they're so easy to find. You can pick up unwanted strays off the street no problem and feel like you're saving their lives. Stray dogs aren't as common, at least not in my area. Also you can look in the paper and see free kittens most of the year. Free puppies/birds etc not as likely.David asks…Why does Hoarders go down hill when they make the people clean up their mess?I hate it when that woman shows

Any advice on getting rid of the clutter would be greatly appreciated.Anne answers:You will probably have trouble throwing certain things away, but you know you should.

Our other rats have stashed food in the past, but not like this guy. What can I do to minimize this behavior?Anne answers:Unless your hoarding rat is making it difficult for the other guys to get enough food, I wouldn't worry about it. Some rats enjoy doing this, but not all of them. Our girls usually stash their favorite things, but they know each others' hiding places so they "borrow" from each

William asks…Do women covet and hoard shoes so much due the their oppression as housewives in the past?From what I've been told is that women were kept as prisoners in their houses barefoot and pregnant in the past, and I've heard that they were not allowed to wear shoes, so do you think that women now have many pairs of shoes and love them so much because of their harrowing ordeals as homemakers in the past?Anne answers:I'll have you know women always stand for what's right. And they often chose to go without NEW SHOES so they can buy food and clothing for their children!Paul asks…Our

Yes, I realize there is a difference between someone having numerous pets in a small apartment vs. having a lot of animals in a large house with a big backyard for everyone to play in, but speaking just in terms of people who are getting animals purely as pets, how many is too many?

And why aren't there more laws in place nationwide to prevent animal hoarding?Anne answers:Hoarders collect animals, take them in, and don't see that they have too many animals. When it gets to the

Nancy asks…Hoary Allysum?This is another question of mine to raise awareness to a situation. We have a lot of Hoary Allysum here in my area and I have a very sensitive horse, allergic, to the seeds of the plant. So many around the area, even alot of the farmers who bale the hay, have not heard about it or know what it is.

So, here's my question to raise awareness. Do you know what it is or if you should be worrying about it in your area?

Not all horses are sensitive to it and typically won't eat the plant in the pastures (I suppose if they were hungry enough but). Once ingested by a

My cousin (whom I was close to my entire life) is no longer speaking to me because of this issue. I am really angry that whomever starts hoaxes or passes them on, not only frightens people for no reason, they can damage or destroy relationships, too.

I myself can't imagine living in the conditions that many of the individuals are living in, as I am not attached to material possessions.

Some days there just ain't no fish (Ain't no perch)
Ain't no flounder, you flounder for fish (Ain't no fish)
And although at times you get a messful
Other days are less successful
Some days there just ain't no fish

(Ain't no fish, ain't no fish)
Some days will start mighty fine (With a splash)
With a nibble that tugs at your line (Mighty fine)
But you reel it

Hoax

David asks…What is the evidence that global warming is a hoax?Several of the regulars here and in the politics section claim that global warming is a hoax, but I have never seen any evidence for this claim. It would have to be a rather vast conspiracy involving thousands of people. I would think there would be some evidence.Anne answers:It's what republicans say to get rid of cap and trade (government creating incentives for companies to reduce emissions of pollutants). The funny thing is that cap and trade was first suggested during the Regan administration and later passed into effect

Hoarders

Linda asks…Do the people on hoarders make you sick?Is it just me or are the people on hoarders on A&E the biggest a**holes on the planet? I can see that some of these people really need help but it seems like most of them are just lazy pigs. They make me sick.Anne answers:I watched the episode last night and was totally shocked. For a couple to loose their children because they like to keep crap. Come on people wake the hell up. Is that crap worth more than your children? That lady made me so angry keeping a cup she got from taco bell. Throw the cup in the trash. Sure these people

Hoard

Jenny asks…What criteria are used to determined how much gold a country needs to start to hoard up a currency?What I mean is what criteria are used to determined how much gold a country needs in a heavily guarded Reserve in order to start printing money to put out in the streets?Anne answers:Countries should use gold to back their currency to fight inflation. A lot of countries don't use this method anymore! Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_standard
Some countries peg their currency to U.S dollars. That means their "gold in the vaults" is actually U.S dollars. They really would be

Hoa

Mark asks…What recourse do home owners have when the HOA wants to do something the owners do not approve of?Our HOA wants to cut down and remove trees in our neighborhood. The owners do not want this. What recourse do we have? This will affect the appeal (or lack of, now) of the neighborhood and future sales value.Anne answers:HOA's over-extend their reach all the time.

If you feel they are violating the WRITTEN by-laws...... CHALLENGE THEM in court.

HOAs are SUPPOSED to keep property values up.... What they turn in to are little "Kruchev's" running around intruding on people's

Hoard

Michael asks…Is it christian like for religious leaders to hoard money instead of helping the poor with it?Whether I help the poor or not is irrelevant, plus you don't know me so I might well do that. No avoiding the question.

Is it christian like for religious leaders to hoard money instead of helping the poor? Simple question, YES or NO.

GO!Anne answers:It would be nice if the pope realized that this little planet needs no more people, and that every child ought to be loved, wanted, and have parents ready and willing to step to the plate to parent.

For him, just pop out those babies,
