Thank you all for your replies!

A few years back with the real estate boom, my area in FL was one of the top growing areas in the country. Then, when many could not pay for their homes when the bubble burst, they simply abandoned properties. The following is my understanding which relates to my area, check with your local county though.

When you abandon a property, the taxes continue to accrue and you are liable for them. However, at some point, the county will want their money and they are able to sell your home to the highest bidder. (My county still does this on a weekly basis!)

When the property sells at auction, you no longer own the home and therefore no longer held liable to pay any back or future property taxes.

The highest bidder wins, and now owns, the property. The back taxes/fees are paid from their bid. Sometimes the winner pays as little as just the balance of the taxes plus auction fees! Any overage though is paid to other lien holders. If there are no other liens, the person who abandoned the property is entitled to the overage paid at auction. (They’d have to track it down though, they are not usually contacted to claim it.)

The new owner now may be responsible to pay any other liens on the property, including mortgage, if the winning bid was not high enough to cover it all. However most will find a good lawyer and have the liens cleared so they can have a sellable title - then they flip and sell these properties.

Not knowing the area where you live and how much is owed vs. market price, I don’t know that I can share advice. If I were in your position and the home was in my area, I’d sell the house and walk away with (hopefully) some money in my pocket. Best wishes to you however you choose to move forward!

Finally snagged a pair! Don’t know if it will help anyone else, but if it does, here’s my story.

I’ve been trying daily since this promo started with no luck. One day I found I could “get in line” as early as 9am (Eastern)… They automatically place you “in line” when the promo starts at Noon (Eastern).

So for a few days I clicked early and let them place me in line. Sadly, I was thinking I’d be placed near the front of the line. Actually on those days, the bar which shows the queue hardly ever moved.

Today, I was working and distracted most of the morning. By the time I realized it was Noon, I rushed to click the “get in line” button. It was 12:01 and I thought they would be all gone for the day. Nope! I was placed “in line” and within a minute or so the bar started to move. At 12:15, it reached all the way to the end and I was presented with a form to complete. A confirmation email was received a little while after that.

To all of you who are still trying, I wish you good luck!

Hey @sonofzeus try it again. I just got through.

@vegasvegan said in Packaged Tuna bought at Walmart/Sams/Costco between 2011 and 2016 file deadline 5/13/22:

Just saw the list of states included.

Only purchases made in the following 27 states and DC apply to this Settlement. The relevant territory and states are the District of Columbia and Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

@sonofzeus I have the same, it’s the offer ID.
Check on the right side where there is the offer ID and a PIN. My PIN ends 3350. Thinking that the PIN may be unique.

No code required for me either. I think the code is just for the downloadable content and not required to enter the sweepstakes.

Site was slow but I’m in for 1! Thanks OP

Thanks. Didn’t know they started yet I won one in 2015 and 2016 so I was looking forward to the giveaway this year. Fingers crossed!

I have done this offer in the past and then donate the food to the local shelter.

They are always in need of items like this

We do that too every time these coupons pop up!

I spent $50+ in store today and got the 20% off coupon from the cashier when I checked out.

Just saw the code: DREAMY

@cheerfuljam said in SMILE! Free A&H Radiant Toothpaste with APP Q at CVS:

Do I need to use the CVS app to show the coupon? I loaded it to my card but nothing is discounted even though my ExtraCare card was scanned at the beginning of the trans.

I didn’t use the app. I just loaded the coupons on my card.

@dianeinct said in BIC Gelocity pens Free After rebate up to $16-- via mail in submission ends 9/7:

Has anyone received their rebate? I’m still waiting on mine. Submitted at end of July.

I mailed mine in right away (about 3 months ago) and here is the message I got when I tracked my rebate:

We have received your claim, mailed form, UPC and receipt and your rebate is being processed. Your check will go out within 3-4 weeks.

I’ve been getting that same message for months as well. Just haven’t made the time to call the phone number and inquire yet.

@flatbob Thanks so much for your suggestion. I’ll look into it!

Any and all recommendations welcome!

Looking for a Learning Management System online that would be used for 200-250 clients to take one class every two years. Maybe I’ll eventually create more courses but it’s not currently in the works. I don’t expect many clients in between this influx of 200 (maybe 5-10 people each quarter) so I would really like an inexpensive system so I’m not paying a whole lot when I’m not actively using it.

Features I need:

• white label, or ability to add my own customization to client’s interface
• create the course in the LMS (or import ppt)
• supports video, images, etc on all devices
• be able to create and include quizzes
• send custom certificates upon completion of course
• maintain record of which users have completed the course
• restrict access to only pre-approved clients/emails
• allow clients to access 24/7
• would be nice to have live desktop/webinar-type training available (like go to meeting) but not a requirement
• preferably online but open to ideas for a local software - whatever is going to work best for my needs

TIA!

@angryeyebrows thanks. I have to have MS Office for work but was always unsure about buying on ebay. Good to hear positive feedback.

@doctordiscount said in Microsoft Office 365 Home 12-Month PC/Mac Subscription Download (Up to 6 People) + $50 Amazon GC For $100 @ Amazon.com DOTD:

Subscriptions just keep you keep paying forever. There’s plenty of less costly alternatives.

I’d love to stop paying my subscription for Office. Can you make a suggestion?

@mrvietnam

I can’t get the damn cards to work…I called a week ago, no email or callback.

Ditto. I’m calling every three days… what’s the resolution?
