I’m looking to buy a condo located in downtown Orlando’s historic region. The homes in that specific location are way out of my price range, I can only afford a condo and there aren’t many opportunities within my price range.

This particular condo meets the character, price and location that I’m looking for. Except for one thing. During the viewing, the Realtor and I noticed 2 separate green mold patches (about 3-4ft) coming through the paint in one of the bedrooms facing the exterior of the building. The HOA knows about the mold problem and said they will fix the exterior problems (which upon visual inspection shows no damage at all). The interior damage would be left to me to take care of. They said the mold came from the maintenence man who was using a pressure washer to clean the exterior of the building which then forced water into the walls. The A/C unit is located next to the building is hidden by landscaping. The pipes that lead to the condo have no seal around them, so this may be where the water seeped into the walls. The unit itself is in otherwise pristine condition, and in no other areas of the unit is mold growing. No one is living in the unit (bank owned), and the air conditioning is not left running and all of the blinds windows are closed.

Any suggestions or personal experience in this situation? Keep in mind what I mentioned above. If I were to put an offer on the condo, should I subtract the cost of the repair from the asking price? My Realtor will also add a Mold clause to our offer so we can back out and not be penalized if the inspection shows serious damage.

HALP!! :]

okay so its 3 am. i wake up and the room is spinning. i have to hold on to everything in order to stay on my feet, i felt like i was about to puke so i was heading to the bathroom. i felt it coming up and i rush to the bathroom as im about to close the door, i feel like my legs gave up on my. i fall and my head bangs against the door which make my head bang against the counter which busts my forehead open [yeahh...ouch lol.] and i pass out. my mom rushes into the bathroom and starts cleaning me up. shes freaking out and starts asking me all these questions. i wanted to answer her but i couldnt speak. i didnt have enough strength to even speak.

I know that MZ is the last DLC, but is my idea good?
Here is my idea:

You are walking until you stumble across some Super Mutants who are fighting some Wastelanders at an airport. Quest begins: Lost Plane. You help the Wastelanders and kill the Super Mutants. You walk up to a surviving woman named Jennifer Mech Filch. She thanks you for saving them and you ask why they are at the airport. She tells you that they found a working plane that was taking off while the bombs fell. However, some vital parts have been destroyed. She needs you to find some pieces scattered across the Capital Wasteland. Find the pieces and return them to her that she can make makeshift parts. There are 15 parts in all, and some are relatively large and some are small. After finding and returning some parts, quest ends. Quest begins: Does this look infected to you?. As you are working the plane with Jennifer, a pressure tank explodes and spews radioactive liquid. Your body slowly mutates. Jen insists on you coming with her to get the mutation treated. You have no choice but to come with her. She asks you if you are ready, and you can say Ok or that your not ready. However, the more time you spend unready, the more Rads you get. You will get 5 rads every 10 seconds. When you are ready, you get in the plane and ask where your going. She says, Massachusetts, because its the only place where no bombs fell and there are no rads over there. The screen slowly fades to white. You wake up in Boston. Everything looks Pre-war and clean. You step out and she tells you to find info on where Dr. Penn is. You need to go about the area, asking people about Dr. Penn’s location and searching for notes. After 3 speech successes or 5 notes, you find his location. Return to Jen and notify her of his location. She leads you to his hospital and talks to the doctor. She explains what happened. The doctor said he can cure you, however it cannot remove the mutations that you already have. He tells you to lie down and everything fades to white. You wake up and Dr. Penn explains that the surgery was a success. Perk recieved: Living Mutant (Description): You have minor mutations and will have 10% increased Rad Resistance and 15% more damage when fighting a mutated species (All kinds of Super Mutants, Trogs, Ghouls, All kinds of Radscorpions, Radroaches and Yao Guai). Jen rushes in and yells that the Enclave have arrived and that they need more help. Quest begins: Enclave: The Voice of America. You rush out and a lot of Enclave soldiers are attacking the area. You fend them off for about 20 minutes. The Enclave send in one last wave of enemies, and you clear them out in about 5 minutes. When the enemies are killed, the Enclave retreats. You did it! Dr. Penn and Jen rush out to thank you. She hands you a weapon called Microwave Rifle as a token of thanks. The Microwave Rifle has 40 DMG points and will make enemies heads explode. There is a unique varient of this weapon called Toaster Oven and does 5 more damage. You can now return home with Jen in the plane and you can return whenever you like.

i clean the screens and put it all back together. mix 6 bs of d.e. with water and slowly pour it into the skimmer while the filter is running and my filter works fine. 9 psi on the gage and good water flow. after about a month the psi starts to rise, that’s normal. when i backwash the pressure goes back down to 9 psi. the problem is it climbs back up to 20 psi in a day or two and i have to backwash again. i’ve tried adding different amounts of d.e. after backwashing but nothing seems to work. from adding no d.e. up to 3 lbs after backwashing (in 1/2 lb. increments). after a week or so of backwashing every couple of days i lose all faith in the integrity of the d.e. coating on the screens and i clean the screens again and start over. the guys at the pool store say i shouldn’t have to do that but they can’t tell me how to avoid it.

My wife of 20 years says she hates sex and we have not had sex in 9 months, o we did have 5 minutes last week but that was it. ,,, She had an affair 5 years ago and then the sex between us was great untill they broke up. She makes excueses to me saying i grope her and ask her or tex her , call her . just pressuring her she says so i stop doing all those things and 2 months later still nothing so i bring it up again and she says she hates sex. I help with the house chores, the kids, the bills, i rub her back, her feet, brush her hair, just a nice husband who cares but all i get back is this, She moved out last December with the kids but asked to move back in aonly after 1 month. All is still the same,, has been like this for a very long time. She says no to counceling . I have tried all the romance in the word, nothing works. She wont shower or clean up when we did have sex because she hates for play………….. help

We were washing our car and my wife and kids stayed inside and we had it on. We were at a local car wash. After I had it all cleaned up when I got back in the air conditioner had stopped working. The snowflake symbol shows up on the automatic air conditioner screen but does not blow out cold air. I recently added refrigerant to my wifes santa fe and thought I would check the low pressure on my 300m. I had the car running and full cold air inside and the pressure was 100psi. I dont know how to check to see if the compressor is engaged or whatever( I keep seeing that to check if its engaged). To me it seems that its not getting pulled into the system. The air(hot tx air) blows hard but isnt that helpful. If anyone has any advice or helpful hints or things to check it would be much appreciated. Please dont just jump to some ignorant response, please be helpful. thank you
the pressure does not change with the gauge attached to it and i don’t hear anything kick in. I will check all wiring, Ive already checked fuses.

i haven’t tried to time anything cuz they don’t seem to be coming like at regular times. they aren’t strong i just feel like my uterus is sore. 2 days ago i noticed the top of my uterus aching and then that night i felt sick like nauseated and everything. i was cleaning house when all this came on i started to feel kinda light headed out of breath and sick. so that night i went to bed and felt bad all night like i was gonna be sick and like my uterus was achy. i thought oh crap food poisoning again. sounds crazy but i’ve had this a lot of times in my life. atleast 5 times where i should have went to the hospital. so anyways the next day i’m still feeling that way. i have 2 kids so i had some messes to clean up and had to watch them so i got up and cleaned ate some cereal and then it all got worse. so i had to lay down again. at that time it was nap time so we took an hour nap. i got up and started feeling bad again so i layed down again after that time i got up i was feeling better just a little achy. well last night i started feeling some pressure not alot but a little and some of my plug came out. then this morning i woke up and i’m guessing the rest came out tinged with blood and had a little bright red blood with it that wasn’t in the goo. so pretty much all day i’m been noticing some of the plug with med colored blood. but i don’t think i’ve dropped. i’m carrying low. do you think this is anything i should worry about?

also with my first baby a week after loosing the plug with no blood my water broke and i gave birth. with my second it was 2 weeks tops and i had my baby. had my first at 39 weeks and my second at 37 weeks.

I love my mom so much. I feel like I always need to be with her though, or she will think I don’t love her. She’s always saying how everyone fails her and how no one loves her (she’s depressed, as I am which she doesn’t know, so I try hard to help). I’m constantly with her to keep her entertained and to listen to her. I’m always cleaning to make her happy and to surprise her and just doing stuff in general to show I care (I do this all day).

The pressure is becoming too much. Everyday I cry over the fact that I am petrified of losing her love, yet scared to be around her because I could mess-up and lose her love that way. I haven’t seen my friends outside of school in years since she always acts very upset when someone would invite me over and then the same thing when someone would come over here.

This may seem like I’m too old to worry about losing my mom’s love, but I just graduated from high school. I’ve had a bunch of graduation parties to attend, and one day some were on the same day so a group of us who were going to them all planned on going together (I was really excited, because I had made sure to do extra work in the days before). However, my mom needed some work done at the house so I ended up missing them. I just can’t let her down. I don’t blame my mom, it was my own choice after-all.

Well, my friends have been asking me all summer to hangout before we all go off to college, and I really want to. However, I can’t. I always tell my best friend I can’t get together, but she’s really been asking and I hate hurting people so I said yes to her. When I told my mom she acted really upset. Either way someone gets hurt. My friend has been super understanindg about me always being unavailable, SO I can’t cancel on her. However, my mom will never get past this.

I hate myself. I feel like I can never do the right thing. I want to make everyone happy, but what happens when they have conflicting wants? My mom’s love is conditional, I know people want to believe that all parents love their children unconditionally but I know my mom doesn’t love me that way.

Do you have any advice for me? I’m so afraid of hurting my friend as well. Should I cancel though (I don’t want to hurt her either)? How can I keep from losing my mom? I know the day is coming where my mom doesn’t want me anymore. There’s more to it than this, but this is already so long. I’m so sorry for the length and for being such a loser about all of this.

Thank you very much!

I am 36 weeks pregnant with my first child. I have been doing a lot of walking and cleaning to try to get baby head down so she cant start putting pressure on my cervix to thin and open i up…well I went to the Dr. for my normal apt and was checked and he said im still closed and thick….i thought for sure that id have some change. Now Im very concerned that Im not going to dialate and end up going overdue or something. I am very ill with bad headaches which the dr. said causes occasional high blood pressure and ive also got low sugar which causes me to be very weak and miserable. What can I do to try to dialate my cervix…ive tried walking, sex and i know TMI but even masterbation (only when im in to much pain for the real deal). I want to have her sooner than later and i dont want to be induced so please give me some tips.
