Stayed at Motel 6....

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!'

In Albany, NY. Was awful. Indian woman at front desk told me should throw me out, when I arrived, if I let my animals(one service dog, a couple of emotional assistance, psychiatric cats) on the bed. I stayed the night without incident. She came by my room later the next day, unannounced for an 'inspection' of the room as I have animals was the reason. She said place was sloppy.smelled.water on floor near water bowl, to clean it up, hair on curtains.told me to leave now,eventhough had paid for the night. I refused to leave and she threatened to call police, so I called them after asking her to leave which she wouldn't so I opened the motel room.shoved her out of it and bolted it shut. I leave tomorrow. She said my cats needed to stay in their crates. This place is not pet friendly at all. Had nothing but hot water in bath room sink to brush my teeth with. Bird crap on sidewalk by door. No breakfast.pool, gym, just coffee in am,no microwave, paid 200. For two nights! The staff were very rude.

Housing update..

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!'

So despite all my trying to get my apt. up to snuff(friend from MA. made 4 trips to storage, took me to do 2 loads of wash, I patd neighbor $100. to clean for 10 hours!), it didn't pass HATAS'(homeless and traveler's aid) inspection. No specifics on what need to do to pass. They commented on kitchen table and items on it and below it. I said, have no shelving or closet to put them on or in. they didn't want to hear my 'excuses' and will not help move me as said should have been bagged up(all) not most of things. not what was told.  Had cat and no pets in lease. Am going to get doctor note need her. Also they won't ask Judd to stop eviction but are leaving me hanging but will pay subsidy while housed. Did my best and can do more when friend Bill comes next month on 6/4 before house inspection again by building dept. on the 9th. trying. legal aide takes my case on 5/14. My worker tells me landlord can do as pleases as his place. Not so if paid up and have another year on lease as I do! Tenants have rights too. Sad an agency like HATAS, that is designed to protect the poor, downtrodden, vulnerable, doesn't.

Their mission: to prevent homelessness, 'HATAS employs a holistic wrap-around approach in caring for our neighbors in need and we serve all persons with the dignity and respect that they deserve.'

Public defender's office wants me to plead..

Spam deleted. Thanks!

guilty so felony will be reduced to misdemeanor and no jail time but fine of $2500 and probation and record expunged after 6 months. I am not guilty as yes did buy stuff but thought was paying for it not accuser whose card used to buy his glasses last year. Amazon kept his info on file and when I didn't have enough to cover balance of purchase.,they billed other card on file,his. Not like tole his card and used it but am screwed royally. No money for fine and am only guilty oi buying stuff and not checking emails to see he was billed on his VISA.

Lawyer given works with judge Miller of Cairo often and knows how he thinks.  Feels that if goes to trial if plead 'not guilty' might lose and could do real prison time  like a year and pay fine too. Many take the plea apparently out of fear. What should I do? ugh. Wish tony fallon had just come to me about this last year as knew nothing about this,as a friend instead of ratting me out to cops.

Arrested Thursday for...

No spamming as deleted. Thanks!

for alleged  grand larceny. I am not guilty first off. Is a matter of a mistake and accident. Here's what happened. I had ordered and purchased eye glasses for then friend Tony Fallon in Cairo who owns hardware store and djs for WGXC radio station,handson radio through eyebuydirect.com, a vendor on Amazon,with my Amazon account and used my email address but his credit info. (after he tried to buy glasses himself from Pearle vision and was told would cost him $360 so he said forget it! I tried to be nice and help a friend but should remember no good deed goes unpunished. ingrate.)I forgot to delete his info.,an honest mistake,slight,not intentional or malicious,after and he was billed for anything I bought from then on unbeknownst to me as forgot to delete it and it didn't ask for my credit info again so just clicked through to place and ship order. Even read emails quickly to see when shipped but not that visa his card not mine paid for it! ugh. what a mess is all can say.
. Now are you getting the picture? No one notified me of my error and he didn't as guess was angry,confused and it was uncomfortable for him to talk to me about it. Instead he tells an aquaintence of mine, Mohammed, who owns the Getty station in Cairo,NY when he was gettting gas,who then tells me,very immature and sneaky,back then last year in the summer that I stole his credit card. I denied it and contacted the police then about it that I was being accused of this and got no call back. I am willing to pay back the $400 accidentally charged to his account to his bank as he was credited already am sure as is credit card protection. Can give 200 next month and 200 the following month and hope to settle out of court before have to appear there in late July. Funny how I figured wht happened in one day but it has taken the police a year to let me know about it. Crazy! I am no criminal,no previous record. Give me a break!Also shame on you Tony. We were friends. Is this how you treat a friend? Think the worst. Guilty til proven innocent. Feel how am being treated by police as they say to me you did it all points to you. Yeh I bought the stuff on his card but thought I paid for it Ok!? an innocent mistake. I am guilty of being careless and not keeping better track of my finances if anything,not criminal behavior. Always thought if lived honestly and didn't do anything wrong,justice would prevail but the jails are full of innocent people so am fearful may be my fate as well!Keep me in your prayers please all! thanks.

Latest Cairo,NY news....Police chief arrested for..

No spam. Thanks! Thanks Chris. Just what this little messed up town needed. Isn't it bad enough that it is known as a drug town with it's junkies and dealers?! Also is the armpit ogf Greene county with it's high unemployment,lack of job opportunities,uneducated citizens just lounging in front of the tv on the government dole all day. How disgraceful. Tons of slumlords too as have reported. This used to be a nice area where tourists used to vacation in the day if you can even imagine it. You can't now as businesses don't even want to open their doors here as noone buys anything from them except drugs,cigarettes,liquor. Now if you wanted to open a pot stand and sell your plants in your yard,this would be the town for you! If you are looking to come some place to eat or vacation,skip Cairo is all can say. Even with new library,they took out a million dollar loan for with money didn't have and the new expensive hannaford coming,sorry but true. SOO glad to be gone from here as yeh used to exist here.

Craigslist post..

No spam. Thanks! Most likely will be deleted but have link here Has got my goat again as see my exlandlored akama bergen is trying to rent her property and even sell it again and it is a dump. Her mo is is to fix it rent it and then once in does nothing.Know as lived there. avoid it is all can say. Would say stay clear of Cairo in general for the same reason if renting as many slumlords here. As per post... Reply artzstuf@gmail.com [?] flag [?] : miscategorized prohibited spam best of Posted: 2013-03-24, 4:17AM EDT $500 / 500ft² - affordable,decent housing desired! (Cairo,NY) Slumlords galore here in good ol' Cairo. town does nothing to stop them. know as usedto live here. If poor,need housing that is cheap and there's the rub and doesn't exist. All find is rundown dumps as area was touristy and is no more and alot of these places abound and area is poor as little work so people aRE DESPERATE AND TAKE THEM. TOWN LOOKS Other way as in officials as think not their problem but is as depreciartes property values. even with new library and hannaford being built is still full of welfare and people don't buy so doesn't attract new business. knoqw as have one and hard to sell bread here. other slumlords here or just plain illegal ones are:perry holst and his unweatherized properties by the park,morgan krause and his eyesores on grove st.,john cassaluchi on route 84 by oneill's a dump,eva's farm,new owners still a dump,lake elissa,a dump and she makes a side business keeping your security deposits. Others don't rent to pet owners, even disabled ones with service dogs like claudia zucker and living structures and beth from there too a realtor who owns a property on grove st.. know as denied. another place on main the same thing. ugh.

got my new place...

Small 1 BR with no closets but all included for $740. a month in Albany and subsidized by HATAS,homeless traveler's aide, so my share is $ 213. a month. It is quite small but is better than motel and unweatherized dump was in before with Akama the slumlord of Cairo,NY,Greene county. Shame on you is all can sy to her for not putting me up in motel while she made repairs. Sh evicted me as know and supposedly had place fixed after I left which was disgraceful. She did me a favor as got out of cairo which is a very economically depressed and depressing area! thanks Akama for being so mean. .

Cairo,s Parade of Lights was fun..

While I appreciate your comments to my posts, I would ask firstly that they pertain to topic and are not spam in nature. Thanks! Local businesses dressed their vehicles up and piut lights on them and prded them down Cairo,s Main St. to the applause and shouts of the local towns people. Refreshments were served at the Cairo Library,s lobby and Santa was there in the community room to take pix with the kiddies and listen to their requests for gifts. 4H supplied the treats and so they made some money off the deal for their program which was good too. I enjoyed the fudge.

Still here..

While I appreciate your comments to my posts, I would ask firstly that they pertain to topic and are not spam in nature. Thanks! Have found a place to live in E. Durham but have to wait for new landlords to send in paper work to section 8 and then they need to come out to see place before they release funds to supplement my rent there. Had to pay rent in full where am so broke now,even though have section 8 which really blows.
Listened to 'Occupy Wall st.' talk on radio today and see similarities with my situation when they speak of the trickle down effect of Wall street's capitalism and corporations on the little guy like me and how the movement is growing in momentum as more and more people across the US make the connection with what's going on there and with all of us and the recession and lay offs,evictions,foreclosures and the new face of poverty. I can definitely relate as am being threatened with eviction myself though my landlord doesn't want to have to go to court to get me out as costs money to get sheriff to come and out the process can be a lengthy one with no money interim. She has elected to wait on me to leave and bullied me for the full rent instead which though not thrilled with is better than what faced earlier with her as have a roof over my head. What about you? How is this effecting you if it is at all?

Still moving..

No spam please! Thanks.
Still looking for a new home. I am on top of the list for section 8 which could supplement my rent where am and have an appointment with them in Catskill on Tuesday. wish me luck. Had offered to take the empty but now rented 1 BR cottage with garage,next door,put things in garage out of sight,affordabley but landlord refused. Yet she complains of my things outside. I can't afford to pay anyone to remove it to a storage site or pay for one so there it stays. despite saying she would let me stay if paid her which did,back due money,she still wants me out and is threatening court action. I tried and it is hopeless with this unreasonable woman(akama,ana bergen,saugerties,ny Tantra Products/Tantra Saugerties, NY. (845) 247 9010. Ray & Akama Bergen: the Hero Goddess Institute In order to keep our marriages secure most of us relate as if love and freedom ...what a bunch of crap. she's about as spiritual and sexy as a snake in heels.) who is spiteful and a bully. All can say to new tenant is good luck,will need it with her. she rehabbed their place to get tenant but be assured she will do nothing once in as is her m.o. she is horrid. she says i bad mouth her on net like here and on craigslist but have to vent somewhere no don't I? if complain her a bout disrepair of place,she retaliates which is illegal but she has the upper hand and uses it. now she doesn't even mow my grass which I pay for in rent. sher threatened to keep my security if I moved so wouldn't have anything to give who is spiteful and a bully(why held rest of money to move with,starting eviction from her in response). All can say to new tenant is good luck,will need it new landlord. seems best to go to court as can't find a place but one up the pike in herkimer county but not mine yet as had to fill out and mail them more forms. will speak to judge and tell my side of story..prefer to find place that takes section 8 as after year can move anywhere in US with it and not stuck in HUD,senior/disabled housing with gossipy,busy body neighbors as was my experience there in past,losing my section 8,having to wait 5 years to get again,ugh.. hard to believe these people offer,therapy,help to anyone as they are so creepy,greedy and nonspiritual in every way and downright ugly. what a scam. see their bogus web site now. he may be a therapist as claims but what qualifies her i ask to give any advice?! goddess my foot!
