Polissa plans to live rent-free in a dilapidated structure in the middle of nowhere, soon to be covered in animal feces.
Does Polissa even own the land though? I know she's saying it's family land, but that doesn't mean it's Polissa's to sell. I think it's more likely that she was told she can live there if she fixes it up.
Semper Fi, @formerfatcow ! I remembered the *family land* was in Tuscumbia but have been too busy/sick lately to really investigate. I think you're correct. Whatever she'd have to pay, it'll probably be more than the $300 a month she pays for her Section 8 hovel between taxes and other fun stuff.
Indeed they did. My state discontinued their "pandemic EBT" programs earlier this year on the grounds of the infection rates not being as ass raping as they were before. Alabama discontinued theirs in either June or July. Super recent and longer than other states. Polly was absolutely spoiled by almost two years of 95 additional Jimmy Dean bowl bucks each month.
ETA: No, she doesn't own the land; her grandmother does. She may call it "family land" because it's been in the family for generations, and multiple generations have lived there at any given time; I don't know. But that's what I think of when I see her use that term. In a way, it's as if she's also claiming a right to it because she's part of that family, but no, she doesn't own it.
There's at least one single-wide trailer on the satellite view (gray roof, lower left):
But hilariously could be such an opportunity for them if they had any foresight. Could have a rent (not property tax/insurance/utilities free) property without most zoning restrictions. Could have a garden, livestock, well, septic, etc. I think the only real natural threats would be drought and severe storms/tornadoes. That zone could grow a lot of decent crops, particularly with a hoop garden. Could sell these at market under the table.. If they managed their money correctly, could invest in solar, a cheap shitbox that ran to get them from A to B.
I was just thinking my own bill isn’t due until the 15th. But she did grift the last one around July 13th.
I asked the same question before and some suggested that she owes backpay on her electric. She probably pays a bare minimum to keep the lights on and they give her some leniency because she's on state welfare. But the bill just keeps piling up with fees.
Maybe the joke is going to be on Auntie and Meemaw, who think that by having Polissa and Josh living there, they'll have young people around who are capable of looking after a couple of aging women.
The remaining trash and belongings in the trailer belong to her aunt, who still lives on the property, so it's up to her to get it all cleared out.
I'm starting to wonder if we should have a thread with resources to avoid grifting if you need some money, things like what you listed. It would help the people who genuinely don't want to grift but are struggling.
Watch that be her next grift angle after the divorce from Josh. Each service comes with a fresh made -home grown yeast roll!
When I read that, the first thing I thought of was WingsOfRedemption, who had a similar kind of verbal agreement (in Wings' case, it was "pay off the mortgage") which got changed/rescinded.
There is always the Beauty Parlor Off Topic subforum if you want to make something like that. I do like the advice we’ve given out to each other in this thread.
