What you have to realize is that Gabbie has you in training. She is being very patient with you, she's sure that you will shape up, listen, obey and turn out ok, but you are still a work in progress.

Sorry about Cheetos.

You are probably right Bay, but we like to think of it as us "working" things out together.........we all have our own little quirks to figure out....

We had our house for almost two years before we had running water in the house so we hauled a lot of buckets from the outside well and bought water to drink at Walmart.

It does make you appreciate it when you get it back on.

while I was changing out the switch I happened to look up and noticed Cheetos laying on the ground.....No!!....don't tell me....yep, he had died.

so sorry. Not what you needed to lighten your life.

What was wrong with the well? When mine stopped working I tested things electrically, even replaced the 30A switch and the pressure switch because both looked suspect. Nope. So I called the well guys. They found that one of the wires near the top of the well casing had arced and fried. Why, after being there since (apparently) 1979?? There was just enough slack for him to wire nut it.

@Bruce somewhere and somehow the wire that runs underground in the yard....not in pvc...developed a short...it is a 220 and was only showing 1 leg to be hot....so, they sold me some wire off the truck to help me get it running. Now, I have to go to Lowe's and get some gray pvc and run wire thru it and reconnect, and bury it....they don't do that and I can't see paying an electrcian to come out and do it either.
On the Cheetos note....I think he had gotten bit by a copperhead....for some reason they are really plentiful this year and many fully matured ones have been seen on the roads around here when they started working in the fields. Joyce read an article yesterday that said there is a large number of them being reported across all of northern Mississippi....I told Joyce to keep an eye out for them and we have to keep the grass knocked down so we and the animals can see them better. He was only 4yrs old and it all happened very suddenly, so it had to be something like that.
So, are ya liking your new computer?....

@CntryBoy777 somehow I missed your post about Cheetos. Sorry to hear of your loss...

 

[Bruce]

New computer is the same as the old. The guy said they hadn't updated the model since 2015. My old one was a 2013 so I guess there must be some internal differences. The newer design has a touch bar instead of the top row of F and other function keys. Faster processors, more money and NO built in camera card slot. Nope, the functionality of the old one was fine. I can even see letters on all the keys on the new one

Oh my on the copperheads, definitely want to keep that grass short, poor Cheetos.

Interesting your well guys don't run wire. Obviously they do that here. Must be they are drillers AND electricians AND plumbers.

 

[CntryBoy777]

They are drillers and do it all on a set up, but they are busy and not electricians....we get by with it because they originally drilled this well about 25-30 yrs ago....

 

[RollingAcres]

Must be they are drillers AND electricians AND plumbers.

Are you saying they are "Jack of all trades (well 3 trades), Master of none?"

 

[greybeard]

that I didn't make it a point to find out what I was called by legal standards....I was just happy that I wasn't considered a tenant....

I didn't ask what the legal folks would 'call you'.
I asked what you would .

"How would you describe your occupancy and use of the property if not 'tenant'?"

Dismiss legal precedent at your own peril, your attorney probably will not. Even if you and he are successful in getting a ruling that flies in the face of legal precedent, all that means is another court and judge will probably dismiss or nullify that ruling, in favor of precedent.
It recently took less than 24 hours for a judge to at least temporarily suspend enforcement of a March 2018 abortion law the Mississippi gov had just signed.

The halls of Jackson, Mississippi’s grand and marble-covered capitol building were quiet on Monday after Gov. Phil Bryant (R) signed the nation’s first 15-week abortion ban into law. ... [snipped the hyperbole out for brvity].... The law is unconstitutional as it violates U.S. Supreme Court precedent, according to the lawsuit. By Tuesday, a federal judge had granted a ten-day restraining order to keep the law from going into effect

Precedent works both ways, and your own attorney will tell you that, and IF there is any precedent that supports your case, he will be more than happy to use what you say doesn't carry as much weight in the land of cotton.

Read thru the following Mississippi civil case appeal court ruling, and you will see many instances of _____ v._____.
This, is Mississippi lawyers presenting legal precedent and the Mississippi judge using and presenting a ruling based upon Mississippi case law precedent. There are hundreds, if not thousand of other examples of the same thing..in your state alone.

(Judge Roy Bean by the way, never used any precedent. He simply made rulings up as he went along, using a very old law book as his single reference and he allowed no appeals. He had no legal training, had never been to law school and was simply an appointed justice of the peace, appointed by the Texas Rangers and only because the nearest real court was over 200 miles away and there was no legal jurisdiction of any kind even set up in that desolate area at the time.)

Well now....let's see....an occupant, a resident, an overseer, or a homesteader....even a guest maybe, but definitely not a tenant.....
