I would definitely call them again and talk to someone in charge. Maybe even have someone come over in person and tell you exactly what they mean with all this.
I am so sorry to hear about your troubles, but something doesnt add up here.
People can do all sorts of things on computers nowadays, I wonder if this is a fake document. But you really should call and write down the name you talk to.
Good Luck to you.

It doesn't.

I pray that you will seek out, and find the help that you so desperately need, to help you with your troubles.

It doesn't make sense. Is it possible someone is just putting those there to harrass you? You need to get in writing whether those notices apply to you or not.

If you are low income or a senior, call Colorado Legal Services at (303) 837-1313 (non-profit, free.) They may be able to help you.

I think you should contact them again and have somebody come out while you're home. I know it's tough to take any time off this close to your job ending, but it may save your house. A few years ago, we came home to find a notice from animal control warning us that we would get a fine if we didn't put our two dogs on leashes. We didn't have any dogs, but we had a nice shade tree that a two neighborhood dogs liked to rest under whenever they got loose.

It seems pretty obvious that at least some of the complaints can't be about your yard, so it's possible that all of them are about somebody else's yard.

I'm not insane, Bonnie. And I don't "desperately" "need help."

Are we missing something here?

Back again. I think it's been resolved for the moment, but I get the feeling I've won the battle and not the war.

Sensei gave me the number of another student. I called him and he came over, looked at the notice, and then called them up. It's amazing how much magic is contained in the simple words: "Hello, my name is Bob and I'm her attorney...."

I really don't know what the heck they were pulling, but now that I've pulled some of the weeds in the front yard, I am now totally in compliance and I don't need to worry more about it.

So why did they have to scare me to DEATH?!

I'm still convince that someone around here has some kind of hidden agenda, and it's aimed at me. About six or seven houses within a half block area are totally out of compliance. My next door neighbors on one side have mulched their front lawn entirely except for a couple shrubs and a raised bed of flowers. Out of compliance. 60% of the area is supposed to be green. The neighbors next door the other side have a dog that barks constantly. The whole time Bob was here the dog barked and growled, and that's typical. They also have high weeds coming through their rocky areas. The neighbors on the corner of the cul-de-sac have nothing but evergreens on their front lawn, which have taken over the sidewalk so that you can't get through. You have to walk in the street. Waaay out of compliance.

I probably should just put in a chem-lawn and be done with it. Who cares about the environment as long as the surburbanites are happy?

I still haven't gotten my resume written, and I'm going to be unemployed in a couple of weeks. I'm going to be docked pay for missing today, and I don't need that right now.

I'm sure there's a rock on my property somewhere. I'm going to go crawl under it.

Lilacs,

Bonnie definitely didn't say you were insane. Your post certainly sounded like you needed some help and it did sound desperate.

"My life sucks. What's the point. I'm going to lose everything, and there's nothing I can do about it, because they'll find some way to nail me, no matter what I do."

That's an expression of desperation, my friend. And when people feel that down-in-the-dumps, I agree that they should seek a little help, either from a good friend, a counselor, a pastor, or whomever might be available to listen, support, and provide some ideas for improving the situation.

Stevation, I'm glad you posted that.

Lilacs, Sometimes thing across in writing differently than they are intended. I think if you re-read Bonnie's post, you will see there is a different way to interpret what she said. I would be not only desperate but completely frantic if I thought I was going to lose my house. Her post sounded supportive, as I read it.

Cheers,
Michelle

The original message and the response each contained hyperbole. From this site, Lilacs needs practical advice, of the kind given by some respondents(bianchi2,autodidact, michelle and bpgreen) and not psychotherapy or religious philosophy. In any case, I am tired of all the OT stuff on this site, lately, and I wonder if others are tired of the heavy philosophy, too. Let's make the next year about growing things in our gardens!

I am sorry if I'm offending people. I'll just leave the site if that's what everyone wants.

My life has been a horrific nightmare lately, and I'm sorry if that's off topic or if it gets people p*ssed off at me. It just got horribly, horribly worse.

Piper is gone! My cat got out of the house tonight, and now he's gone. I've searched everywhere. I've walked the neighborhood. I've crawled through bushes. I fell several times, not being able to see in the dark, and now I'm all bruised and bleeding.

And I can't find him! I can't hear him. He's frightened and freezing and he doesn't know about the outside. His sister, his bonded companion, keeps crying and searching for him. I don't know what to do! It will kill me if I lose him.

I'm sorry to be annoying and off topic. I won't post anything off topic anymore. I won't post anything at all, since everyone's tired of reading my posts.

Hopefully your cat is home now so you can get some sleep. But if he isn't then, do you ever feed him cat treats? If so, take those outside when you are calling him and shake it or rattled it.
Once he's home, train him some more by shaking the treat bag before giving him a treat so he knows what it means.
My cats go outside during the day and when they are stubborn about coming in, this is how I get them to come running.
I must have a different definition on what on-topic means, because I haven't noticed alot of OT stuff in this forum.
