Organize Closets

Archive for the ‘Custom Closets’ Category

A 26-year-old suspected illegal alien, accused of having sex with a Morristown girl that started when she was 14, is believed to have impregnated the teenager, court records say.
Rolando Perez Vincente, who rented an apartment on Speedwell Avenue, was arrested last Sunday after police responded to a Morristown home on a report of a 3 p.m. dispute. The occupants, not identified in an arrest affidavit, told police they located Vincente hiding in the teenage girl’s bedroom closet.

Both Vincente and the girl, who now is 15, initially denied a sexual relationship. Later on Sunday, the girl went to Morristown Memorial Hospital where an examination revealed that she is pregnant. She then disclosed to police that she had a year-long relationship with Vincente and he was the father of the unborn baby, the affidavit said.

The girl told police that she and Vincente had unprotected sex multiple times over the course of a year, including after he sneaked into her bedroom Sunday morning without her family knowing, the affidavit said.

Questioned by police, Vincente allegedly admitted to sex with the girl, that he was aware of her age, and knew his conduct was wrong, the affidavit said.

Vincente is charged with two counts each of sexual assault and criminal sexual contact, and one count of endangering the welfare of a child. He is being held in the Morris County jail on $300,000 bail. A detainer has been filed against him by Immigration and Customs Enforcement because he is suspected of being in the United States illegally though his native country was not immediately known.

So me and my wife have a 2 years old Min Pin we adopted from an rescued animal shelter. We have had her for over a year, and it’s been hard training but things are working out.

The one problem I’m stumped in fixing is when we drive anywhere and take our dog with us (she has separation anxeity from an abusive last owner locking her in a closet for 8 to 12 hours a day), she whines through out the trip.

To remedy this I tried the following.

1) I thought maybe she was uncomfortable in the back seat cab of the truck. So I built a custom car crate for my dog to be secure and comfy. Basically I extended the center arm rest. Lined the outside with factor Carpet, the inside is memory foam covered in velvet, leather head rest, blanket and leather trim. It’s basically a elevated box that the dog fits into and can see the road too.

Didn’t whine at first couple of weeks, then she started whining again.

2) Thought maybe the Muffler was too load, so I swapped out my Flowmaster 50 series with a ultra silent muffler and sound proofed the interor.

STILL FREAKING WHINES.

3) Thought maybe she just wants attention. I lean my seat back the entire 45 minute drive (when I’m in the passenger seat and play with the dog.

STILL WHINES!!!

Now I’m Ticked! I have had other dogs in my truck with no problem and I’m at a loss to figure out what her problem is. I trying telling her “NO!” when she starts to whine. That doesn’t do crap. I have tried treats. No go!

If you are wondering why don’t I leave her at home. It’s mostly her separation anxeity. I have worked her up to 4 hours before she freaks out. I have webcams setup at home to monitor when I’m away and check up on her.

The only time we travel is stay with the in laws or go the store and it will be longer than 4 hours.

She has peed and pooped before going on any trip, and get a treat at the end of the trip just to make it seem like trips aren’t a bad thing.

I’m just frustrated..Any thoughts?
NO EAR PLUGS..though I have put in a powerful speaker system (and I feel guilty about this) do crank up the music lately to drown out the whining. But I don’t want to rely on that.

My Min Pin is generally a very laid back and quiet dog, except around strangers where she goes ballsitic. That’s why I’m confused. Everything is familiar and its really out of her character.
Funny thing is when I tell my dog “TRUCK” she is all fired up and happy…then after 10 minutes of driving. the Whining starts.
I have tried ignoring her for the entire trip and saying “bad girl” when she starts to whine” Does nothing to solve it.

For me, driving in my truck and listening to music is a very relaxing activity for me, and with the dog in the truck, it’s like scratching on a chalkboard. It’s a soft whine, and when the music goes soft..you can hear her.
WAIT..WHATS THIS TRAVEL DROPS you guys keep mentioning? I’ll buy a case load at this point!

One day the majority of people in Europe will be Muslims. Family life and tradition as we know it will diminish to dust. Registry office weddings, civil partnerships and anything similar will be banned. Men and women will be segregated and men and women will only be allowed to keep company with one another if they are married. Any transgression of this custom will be punishable by lashing, imprisonment or death. Anyone who blasphemes or takes drugs will be severely punished as well as those who drink alcohol, watch or have pornography in their posessions including magazines and books. All other religious works will be banned. Homosexuals will be forced into the closet or punished by death. Nightclubs and bars will be closed and replaced with coffee shops and stores. The official language will be changed to Arabic and all religious places of worship will be closed, torn down and replaced with Mosques.

I think this will happen one day.. what do you think?

Okay, so this is probably something that should be in a different catagory but I figure everyone here is either going through or gone through a wedding.
My brother and his now wife were planning a February 2011 wedding. They eloped over Labor Day weekend and now the rest of us are out the money. My parents paid for the reception at a local hotel in full already as they were offered a discount to do so. That was $22,000! They also paid for the photographer, another $6,800. That is just what our parents paid. I as a wedding gift bought her dress, crinoline, bustier and shoes. My receipt total for that day was $1,581.67…I have it sitting next to me. I am furious. If they had at any time wanted to elope they should have made it clear. NO ONE was pushy with them. My parents and myself made it clear that they were running the show and call us if you need help. They even had a planner that was hired.
I asked her if I could have the dress I bought her (that is still in the dress bag from the bridal store) to try and sell on a wedding web site and she flipped out. I snapped and said that I would have never spent that money for a dress to hang in a closet and never be worn and I thought it was only fair for me to try and recoupe of the lost money. Not to mention the $260 bridesmaid dress and custom dyed shoes I had to buy for myself to be in the wedding. She is no longer speaking to me.
My mother called my brother and told him they needed to talk about their lost deposits. Due to the fact that it is less than 6 months out, under their contract they only get 50% of what they have paid back. So they are out $11,000! Some people do not even spend that on their entire wedding!
The photographer was a little better. He went ahead and gave back all but $500.
We are all just furious that they have the “people do it all the time” and actually were laughing at us when we brought up the fact that we had already spent a ton of money. They act like we should be happy for their decision to just make it happen and actually had the NERVE to say no one has sent them a gift yet. WHAT?????????????????
We are all just so upset with the fact that we put our hard earned money into something to make them happy, they gave NO ONE any indication that they no longer wanted this wedding and never told anyone there was an issue. Myself and my parents were not really involved in the planning as they had a planner and we wanted to let them do their thing, but this is just wrong.
Do you think we are out of line for wanting to trying and be reimbursed for what we spent.
They say it was a spur of the moment thing and that they did not plan it, but I say that it does not matter..they need to pay people back.
What do you think or what would you do if this was your sibling?

I have this desire to someday learn Cabinetry; because for some reason I like making stuff out of wood, sanding finishing and such. But I am also very original, in that if I design something for someone, say a cabinet, table or china closet I wouldn’t design or make the very same piece for another person; because well, I’m obsessive compulsive about everything being unique and special, and would want that all the things I make be unique and not repeated. (For example you walking into someone else’s house and seeing exactly the same dining room table that you had custom made. I mean would you feel?) But some people who I told this to said that no one would probably want to me to make stuff for them; because I would refuse to make exactly the same piece for someone else. And I don’t think it should be that way, just as all people are unique so should their tastes be. So what do you guys thing is it wrong for me to be this legalistic about designs and being unique? *Full points for best answer.
