Water Intrusion Recovery

Hi All



I have contacted my HOMEOWNERS Insurance Company (State Farm) and obtained the list of companies they recommend for water emergencies. Accordingly I have posted this for all to see, because everyone should have, at their fingertips, A LIST of those companies their policy would approve of.



BE PREPARED - folk, it is just that easy. Remember, neither I, from the insurance committee, nor UCO are recommending the list that is attached - STATE FARM Insurance Company is. MAKE YOUR OWN list and BE PREPARED!!

BLOGGER USE

Dave, How many bloggers do we have using this blog?. The old century village web site seemed to have many more users, perhaps because it was so much easier. I wish we had new people, I am geting tired of the same users, I would like to hear new ideas.
This blog is not user friendly.

Watering of lawns

abandoned unit

our assn has a unit abandoned in 8/2008--from public records, there is a huge outstanding $$$ amount on the unit due to penalties etc as well as what appears to be a huge $$$ borrowed/mortgaged ? , liens by utilities, our assn, etc -we do have an attorney and a real estate person working w/us but to no avail ---seems no one can pin down who holds the deed and why no foreclosure/public auction etc ---we have been advised to rent the unit which we deem an unacceptable solution ---I'm certain we are not the only ones in the village in this situation ---if anyone has a suggestion or direction to follow -we'd be grateful ---at our wits end--

Channel 63

I would like to get an idea as to how many CV residents actually check out Channel 63 on a daily basis. There is a wealth of information available to all as to WHATS HAPPENING in our Village. And how about the new content, much easier to understand. Thanks for your replies. Much appreciated.

Pembroke Pines Century Village

This past sunday April 11 I visited some good friends in Pembroke Pines Century Village. They showed me around, I'm not moving to it but it was a great tour. Every Sunday between 2 pm and 4 pm they have music at pool side with a piano player who sings. Every sunday they have someone else. The Seniors and Bay Boomers love to dane to the music.
In the main office which we would call our ticket office. They have pastic display bins (which could be bought at Staples) with a flyers from every club and organization so that everyone can see what is going on in CV. They have 55 clubs going. The flyer listing the clubs has - Club name, Meeting date, Meeting time, Meeting room, Contact person and time. If we have one of these I have never seen it. They will be celebrating Mother's Day Sunday, May 9 poolside at the clubhouse 1 pm to 4 pm with music. They have a Cafe on the Green Restaurant open daily from 6:30 am to 3 pm. Dinner hours Frid-Sat & Sun 3:30 pm to 7:30 pm. This is not an advertisment for Pembroke Pines, I still want to live here in our CV.
Now that we have a NEW UCO maybe a representation of our NEW UCO should take a trip down to Pembroke Pines and see what's going on. May be it's time for real change.
The men's room has tree sinks not four. The have one hand dryer like us. But at the same time they have a paper towel dispenser with no papers on the floor as was told to me in our CV.
Seeing is beliving. No let's look into it. This is 2010.
I know that someone is going to reply to me to sell here and move to Pembroke Pines. Well that is not the reply I would like to see. I want NO negative replies. I just want to see our CV get better with the NEW UCO.
I'm a snowbird. I donate my time to COP for CV and Veterans at the WPB VA Hospital, so I don't sit on my A__. So please don't tell me to join UCO.

CARD ROOM

Do any of you bloggers know the reason why the 2 small rooms in the card
room are locked at all times. A few months ago the 2 rooms were never locked.
In order to play bridge, canasta, etc....I have to go to WPRF office where you
buy tickets and ask for the key for Room A and I have to leave my CV ID pass
with them and when I return the key they return my ID to me. It is very
annoying to all who like to play in Room A.

To Sue or Not to Sue

A belated welcome to the blog Dan Gladstone. 

I’m sure I’m not alone in finding your recent postings a little ambiguous but at least you now have an outlet to vent your spleen, which is remarkably informative and,at the very least,entertaining.

In fact your posts, with constant references to allegations of lies and lawsuits have me positively enthralled. Could you tell us all please just what those lies were and how many lawsuits you have ‘actually’ filed?

I haven’t had one.

In fact, my attorney laughed so hard at 'the letter’ sent January 28; I thought he was going to fall off his chair. Especially since I wasn’t even in the country when I was allegedly distributing offensive material in an attempt to ‘besmirch’ you. The letter demanded a written apology within ten days.

Have you forgotten you never received one? Nor, although you may care to have others believe differently, have I ever received the threatened lawsuit.

If you really want to play with the grown ups Mr. G you really are going to have start acting like one. On your own admission you now have more time on your hands. Wouldn’t it be better spent helping us to help those who have been out of their homes for months?

Meanwhile, before you nip down to the snake store for the anti-venom serum you need before posting on the blog again, may I suggest that you pick up any remaining remnants of your credibility and what is left of your dignity!

Writers

Hi, All you folks who want to write articles for the UCO Reporter and send letters to the Editor.
Due date at the Reporter is the 7th of the month.
Think about new ideas and new volunteers for the new UCO Administration.
The Reporter prefers emailed material to ucoreporterwpb@gmail.com

Your BLOGMEISTER adds:

Since the Gmail account is newly created,

All UCO Reporter Emails should indeed be directed to the Gmail address, but it would appear that some are not even aware of it.

Please change your address books to reflect the new UCO Reporter Email Address.

Canal Alligator

Here is an alligator that dwells in the canals of Century Village. It has a fish in its mouth. We have a few of these in our canals.

Not Another Census

I need your help to figure out how many people remain in the Village at this time of year. We need the numbers to calculate the need for UCO Reporter newspapers.

So could you please add up how many of your association are still here in residence and put it as a percentage in comments.


My building for instance is now exactly 50%.  TIA Elaine

Census Form

I also received a second form to fill out. I called the phone number listed and was told that they "probably" had not received my first one back as of yet. I told the individual that it was not due unit April 1 which is today. Also asked why all the taxpayer money is being wasted on this. Obviously, I got no response to that. I was told to "dispose of the form in whatever manner I saw fit".
DUH!! Another brilliant government response!
Have a great Holiday all!!

Hello Census

recd my census form/mailed back 18 March ---as did my neighbors. Today we all recd a second form identical to the first. One neighbor called census # and was told to fill his form out again - the first must have been lost in the mail. I of course hit Google and here is what I found from a census spokesperson printed in today's washington post:
"you just need to mail back one form, so it sounds like you're good to go. It sounds like you may have received what we call a "replacement questionnaire." Those have started going out this week. We've learned from research that people (thankfully you weren't one of them!) often put their census forms aside thinking they'll get to them later. Unfortunately, sometimes that form gets lost under a pile of other mail and forgotten about. So - we've learned we get a boost in response if we send another form. Thanks for filling yours out! Feel free to toss the other one in a way you're comfortable with.
(Stacy GimbelCenus Bureau Spokesperson Thursday, April 1, 2010; 2:00 PM )

Made us all groan - just another waste of money - first was the notice that form w/be mailed/ then form #1/ then note did you receive? followed by todays second identical form.
Is anyone else as disgusted as I am?
