Life in the Crappy Lane

My cat was trying to escape this morning when I took the garbage out (Wednesday is garbage day). I was paying more attention to him than I was to where I was going, and that nasty door frame just hopped right up and bit my toe. I should not go outside without wearing shoes! It's possibly broken, possibly fractured, definitely seriously bruised. My feet are so swollen from water retention that I can't tell if the toe is swollen or not. It has ached with varying degrees of intensity from the time I did it until now, and I haven't even tried to put any weight on it (I walk using my heel and keep the toe from coming into contact with any surface).

Edited 7/18/2012: Toe is just severely bruised and I will probably lose the toenail sooner or later. Slept with a big puffy shark bedroom slipper protecting that foot for a few nights.

Then to add to the stress level I got a call from a nephrologist (yeah I had to google that one too, she's a kidney doctor). Apparently my primary care physician sent in a referral on June 28th (I don't even remember him discussing this referral with me, and the last time I saw him my kidneys WERE filtering better and my creatine level was lower). Be that as it may, I have an appointment on Tuesday with the nephrologist. So of course, I'm freaking out that my primary care doctor saw something in my bloodwork that he didn't tell me about. And I'm already mad at him because I still don't have the results of last week's bloodwork (Thursday) and echocardiogram (Friday).

I have diabetes (type 2) and that's a real concern with kidney issues. In addition, I retain water like there is no tomorrow, and I haven't been allowed to take my Lasix or my hydrachlorathiazide (diuretics) for at least 3 weeks. My feet usually look like footballs by the end of the day because I spent 90% of my time glued to the computer writing articles (I am seriously underemployed, and the only money I bring in every month is unemployment, PTR earnings, survey earning, other online earnings, and whatever I make from the writing gigs). Even when I wear my lovely compression stockings, my feet are still swollen by the end of day because I just don't get enough exercise.

Edited 7/18/2012: Saw the nephrologist yesterday afternoon. She thinks it was the lasix that stressed out my kidneys, but still thinks its a very good idea to limit my diet coke intake (down to 1-2 12 oz cans a day from 5 or more a day) and continue drinking lots of water. Somehow I lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks so I'm happy. Walking helps the feet swelling too.

I was sick Saturday July 7, Sunday July 8, and Monday July 9 with the heat here (87-89) and swollen legs/feet plus extremely sore nipples (was thinking I might be getting my first period in 4 months but so far nothing, so I'm leaning towards thinking I was/am retaining water in my breasts too). So yesterday I finally started feeling better and wrote a whole lot of articles for my Odesk and private clients. Today of course that all went to hell with my toe aching for nearly 12 hours and my stress level over the kidney issues.

Plus I'm having serious problems with a friend (ex-business partner) who has made it clear in every way possible that she does NOT trust me, and when I took offense to this she called me names and said that I didn't do any work on the website anyway. I only created a Facebook page for the business at her insistence(she said she didn't know how to do it), provided customer support both via my personal instant messengers and through the website itself, and added nearly all of the sites for PTP (paid to promote) approval before the site was launched. She thinks that the $12.00 I got from the few sales we made is adequate compensation for probably 12 hours of work altogether. All of this blew up just seconds after I'd hung up with the nephrologist's office and probably 2-3 hours after the toe incident.

Veronica Guidry ghhyeinmidexs@gmail.com

Jun 24 (5 days ago)

to me

Thanks for getting back to me and I read your posting on Craigslist,and I am very interested in the room. It's in the perfect location for me and it sounds like we could be great roommates. I will be arriving the state by earlier of this month just let me know when we can start the lease although i wont arrive to the state until 10th of .July

About me: I'm Veronica Guidry female from Spain, specifically Malaga.i am 32 years of age. I am currently working with the Federal Agency of Works and Natural Resources . I am pretty quiet and neat,but not obsessively so. I'm responsible and will pull my weight around the apartment and pay bills on time. I like to cook, and it would be great to have people to cook with or eat with, but it's definitely not a requirement in a roommate. I don't smoke and I don't have any pets.I've got a lot going on this year, so i won't be around the apartment all that much. Mostly, I’d just like a place that I can come home to and chill at the end of the day. I am social, though, and get along well with most people. I probably won't have too many house guests, but I would like to feel comfortable bringing friends over once in awhile.

More so i would really want to secure the room before my arrival, and more so to know if it would be possible for me to pay for the room before my arrival, So i will like to know the total amount of the room per month and the utility included. All these information are very important so that i can submit my proposal to my Organization.My Organization will be responsible for all the fees and the payment .Please let me know if I can give you any more info that would be helpful for making your decision. I will be more than happy if you can tell me little about you too. I will also like to see more picture of the room if possible.

Thanks & God bless

Must be over 40 (not my rules, the rules of the manufactured home park I live in). Other than that, sounds great but I just know the next email would be the scam letter. Thanks, but no thanks!

A New Twist But Still a SCAM!!

to me

Thank you very much for the response,firstly I will like you to know little about me. I am Martha Greg was born and raised in Wyoming,I am quiet and easy going person to live with. I'm 26 years of age... I am extremely clean,quiet and respectful, I am sensitive, intelligent and am easy to get on with. ..I am a faithful and committed person, who is very considerate of other people's feelings. I don't drug and i dont smoke or drink.. I enjoy going out with my friends to movies, plays, parks, hikes, anything to do with the ocean and horses but i'm cool living with people.

Right now, am working for a Non Government Organization on a program on children with orphans and heart related probs.My next program/seminars will be in your town and I will need a room to stay for these seminars, so I want to secure a room before my arrival.

I must confess that i'm comfortable with the area of the house/apt and i am ready to pay for the room. I would have loved to call you but this is a remote area calls are very hard to go through from here... Meanwhile I would have loved to come and check at the room before renting but due to the distance, but with pictures I will be glad.I will like to make the payment for the first month ahead of my arrival, and then i will make subsequent payment thereafter as i plan to stay for 6-12months.I have told my boss about this and he promised to make sure that he will meet up with the payment so that I can depart from here as scheduled.He also said I will have the advantage to make payment for deposit .I should arrive to your place on or before the 21st of July (Willing to pay for the whole month of July),so pls keep the room for me till my arrival.He also said the mode of payment will be the Most acceptable, safer and reliable means of payment which is United state certified Cashier Check so get back to me with your full mailing information to get payment mailed to you in no time.

INFORMATION TO FACILITATE THE MAILING OF THE CHECK.

* Full name:
* Address:
* City, State, Zip Code:
* Cell number:
* First Month Rent:

Kindest Regards,

Martha

The ad itself (http://bend.craigslist.org/roo/3061353933.html) clearly states 40 and over. I guess these rocket scientists can't read!

Spelling and grammar is atrocious even for someone supposedly from Wyoming (just kidding for all you Wyoming residents).

Just another scam. These people give me lots of blog fodder, I will say that much for them.

HR Manager

Yeah, right. The link DOES to go a credit score company, I'll give them that much. I think this is another 'forced traffic to the affiliate link' for the credit score company. If it was legit, they wouldn't need to cloak the url.

Domain it was sent from doesn't exist as a working site. Another clue we are in scam land, or at the very least (again) forced traffic to the affiliate link land.

Bye,Grace or whatever your name really is

Not to mention again that this idiot is 25 years old and AGAIN I cannot/will not/am not allowed to rent to anyone under 40 years of age.

http://bend.craigslist.org/roo/3061353933.html Please note that the room is in a mobile home park/manufactured home park that sells/rents to only those people who are 40 years old or older. This age requirement is mentioned at least twice in the ad itself.

Funny isn't how I got a nice scam email from this person (using a different name, naturally, but same email address except for the 2) on a different job from Craigs List

http://suellenjillroley.blogspot.com/2012/06/another-craigs-list-job-scam.html

The link in the second BS email goes to Gift Shelter (giftshelter.com). This time she's trying to force affiliate signups with a fake job listing.

Again, the area code is not right for Central Oregon. Area code 503 is the Portland, Salem, and Astoria areas of Oregon.

This is just yet another Craigs List job listing scammer

Well, lets see. This one is again unable to read ---- 40 years or older is not 25 years old.

I doubt she can earn her Masters degree in Microbiology at Central Oregon Community Collge.

Again no need to cloak the email address but the first email was from

Just another scam.

Another Craigs List Room Scam

So after kicking out my alcoholic, manipulative, lying roommate, I rewrote my Craigs List ad and reposted it on Craig's List.

http://bend.craigslist.org/roo/3061353933.html

Please note that the room is in a mobile home park/manufactured home park that sells/rents to only those people who are 40 years old or older. This age requirement is mentioned at least twice in the ad itself.

Hello there,
How you doing today? I am writing to know if the space you advertise on craigslist is still available. I will also need current picture of the place, i wait to read from you as soon as possible.

CARLISA.

My response:

There are current pictures of the house in the ad itself. It is NOT available until June 21st 2012 (ad stated that too). Are you a non-smoker? Are you over 40? If not, I'm sorry but I can't rent to you.

"Thanks for your prompt response,i just got your message right now and am very happy to know that the place is still available, I will not be able to come and see it due to the distance. Here is little about me.... My name is Yen Carlisa 25years, female, from Zurich, Switzerland. I presently live and work in Geneva as Medical doctor with UNAIDS (www.unaids.org) I will be coming to State for medical research due to nature of our work. This was why i made inquiry as per the availability of your space. Please let me know the equipment that are available in the rent..

For the payment that is not a problem at all, because my boss will be highly responsible for all my expenses, all i have to do is to confirm the amount of the room which i have done including the utilities (if there is any) and then get it sent to him so that payment can be mail out for my deposit. However i will be in need of the information in which the payment will be issued to,So all i require of you is for you to send me your...

FULL NAME
FULL ADDRESS (City,State and Zip code)
PHONE NUMBER
EMAIL ADDRESS

So that I can forward it to my boss because my boss will be paying for the rent, my flight and some other things so all you have to do is that as soon as you receive the check he will send.You will deduct your rent fee and the utilities from it and then get the rest back to my flight manager so that my ticket can be booked. Waiting to hearing from you. I will want all this information for quick payment asap please.

Regards."

Okay, let me spell out the ways this stinks.

If you are legitimately looking for a room to rent, you don't need to falsify or cloak your email address. The first email was from michelle3fa@gmail.com but the reply went to email address carlisa1981yen@gmail.com. The reply was also from carlisa1981yen@gmail.com.

If you read the ad, there are 4 current pictures included in the ad itself. Why would she need more pictures?

In my first reply I specifically asked her if she was over 40 or not, and made it clear that I could not rent to her if she wasn't 40 years old or older. See bolded age above.

She clearly states that she's only 25, and a doctor to boot. My butt she's a doctor. Maybe she plays a doctor on television, or maybe she once 'played doctor' with the boy next door, but in my opinion only Doogie Howser MD is 25 years old and working as a medical doctor. And that was only on TV, it's very rare for someone age 25 to be a full-fledged MD in real life.

It takes 8-10 years to become a fully fledged medical doctor, this liar would have had to graduated from high school before she was 15 years old to be a MD at 25 years of age.

If you read the ad itself (and aren't just trying to scam me) it says very clearly what is included in the rent. All the 'equipment' is listed in the ad.

If she's going to be doing medical research like she states, why not give me the name of her new employer at St Charles Medical Center (the only hospital in this area)?

If this liar was actually working at unaids.org, and her boss was really involved in this, don't you think she would have a unaids.org email address?. Both of the email addresses were gmail, which any idiot can sign up for. I have around 10 gmail addresses of my own.

She never did address the non-smoking question. I am on nocturnal oxygen and therefore CANNOT allow smoking in my house even if I could stand the smell of smoke (truthfully, it makes me want to PUKE!). Besides, after 10 months of living with a smoker, I am fully aware of how even forcing them to smoke outside is not good enough. My former roommate's body, hair, clothes, and room smelled of smoke even though he never smoked in the house (or at least I never CAUGHT him smoking in the house!). He's been gone for a week and his bedroom still has a stench of smoke.

Where are the numerous references I asked for in my ad? If this person was legitimate, I should have 3-5 references. And if she's really a hot shot medical doctor at UNAIDS in Geneva Switzerland at least one of those references should be from the executive director Michel Sidibe http://www.unaids.org/en/

If I agreed to her plan, I am sure I would find myself with a check that either wasn't cashable OR once it was cashed it would turn out to be a bogus check. My bank would hold ME responsible for that check and any overdraft or other fees relative to it
