The woman reportedly has no money, no job, no skills and survives only by her ex-husband's largess; yet you would have her stripped of her property and pilloried on the town square for starters, right?

You got it, Prof. If she can't fix the place up, it's off to the poorhouse for her, if Hildy has her way. Perish the thought that Hildy would drop in and ask if she could help. It's so much easier to call up the Zoning Enforcement folks.

Sell the damn house and live where you can afford to live. Am I on FreeRepublic? Please remind me. Because it doesn't look like it.

I put a new shingle roof on my house- does that qualify as a skill?

I have studied plumbing for the past three years and have done freelance work in the field including a commercial steam boiler at a synagogue in Passaic, NJ.

I graduated from a full-day/ ten month program in electrical technology last June, I can wire a house and install a service. I graduated from a Department of Labor Program called Training for Trades two years ago, which also awarded me a $4,000.00 scholarship towards my electrical school training.

I have studied landscaping and xeriscaping in order to make my just under an acre property as naturalised as possible so that it would qualify as a Federal Wildlife Sanctuary.

There was a great deal of misinformation in the newspaper.

The issue has nothing to do with property maintenance- the town knows very well how much this property has improved since I moved here 25 years ago.

Since my husband left, I've been a target for land-grabbers. It is happening to all of the vulnerable people in town-especially the elderly. I told all the reporters about it when they interviewed me but none of them included the info. Please pass the word along. I'm trying to find someone who can help me set up a web site so that I can get the word out.
