I just got off the phone with my girlfriend's 'pub sister.
We are leaving in the morning for Cabo, thru Thanksgiving.
GF has quite a few Vacation Rental properties in S. Lake Tahoe ($500-$2K/night), and all those checks come in the mail.
We have (finally) lost the HouseMate/DramaQueen, and needed someone to pick up the mail and deposit the checks (times are tight, in case no one has noticed).
Since I have done countless favors (repairs, taking their ancient dog to the vet, all kinds of crap) for GF's sister and her disabled husband for a while (they have a ton of money, and I always lose money on "favors" done), I decided to call in a favor and ask her to pick up the mail and deposit the checks. They live less than a mile away, on the same hill.
BTW, we don't talk Politics. But they know how we feel, especially since GF is almost a dead ringer for Palin and things do come up.
So I asked her if she could pick up the checks and drop them in the bank, which is maybe a 1/4 mile from the house.
She said sure, but there would be a trip charge.
I asked her just how much that "trip charge" would be.
"One hundred dollars a day."
I said, "You must be kidding".
She replied, "It's about time you Liberals realize there is no free lunch".
For the first time in my life, I told a Woman to Go F**k Herself.

13. Thanks, Lynne.
You know, I take great pleasure in making things happen for other people.
I should have learned, by now, but self-centered selfishness always blows me away.

35. I know...
Actually, I am being dragged, kicking and whining.
To me, nothing is worse than US tourists.
I would rather stay Home.
Marin is cooler than anywhere.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Says the US tourist.

Wow. Even family members cannot stand the TiT.

Wait a minute. Hang on!
Wasn't it just like 3 weeks ago that TiT was saying that those rental properties were HIS?
Now they belong to the GF?

I guess he got over her looking like Palin too since she's rolling in some dough. Times are tight, afterall, when you got properties going for 500-2k a NIGHT. :whatever: :lmao:
-
The "checks" of course being unemployment/worker's compensation/welfare checks right?

Yes! That was my first thought, too. And last week, his GF was a dead ringer for Palin, now it is the sister. Not odd as sisters tend to look alike, but TiT is odd.

.....but TiT is odd.
To say the least.
Probably also felonious too.

OK, several things don't add up in the story, but this one jumps off the page.
I know a few people who own Vacation Rental properites, and everyone of of them have a property management service they've hired to oversee the property. Not that you have to do so, but the distance between the SF area and Lake Tahoe is around 200 miles, so unless they personally go there pretty often and check on the property, and are hiring a maid service, and a lawn service, and have plumbers and mechanics on hand that will jump on any matenance problems at a moments notice, and working out all the details of the rental contract, and making sure the customer has the keys, etc..., then I'm calling it just another one of his many lies. For the most part if you have rental vacation property, especially something that's not close by for you to personally check on, and especially if you have more than one (as he claims she has quite a few) then you're an absolute fool not to hire a management service.

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts this is a time share of GF's. She don't own shit! Nor does the boyle on a TIT!
