Replacing the old, with penny auctions.

Hi Everyone, if you haven't herd we got burgled during our move from the city, and though I am not at liberty to tell you what was taken, I can say it was almost all brand new apple products. Yes we went through the phases of anger and guilt and feeling violated, all that fun stuff is done. Now we are at the move on section of this horrible experience. So we do not have the money to replace the things we had, however I am doing penny auctions online to perchance the things back at pennies from the dollar. Penny auctions are pretty fun right now, but I am getting mad because the sites seem to favor there regular members with the gold membership. I know it sounds stupid but I have to replace this stuff somehow. To get into the auction I had to pay a bidding fee of 60$ and jot down my info blah blah blah. Then I go online to place my bids and win some stuff. Most people use this as a game, but not me. I am just here to buy the things I need and GTFO.
On a side note there is a raccoon or something that is going through the garbage at my new place. Now I have to call an exterminator to kill its ugly ass. There will be no mercy for my new woodland friend, come into my backyard and go through my garbage you bum...prepare to die. Moving seems like it has been one heartache after another, though I love my new place I slowly began to notice small things bothering me. My neighbors through feed on the garage rooftops to feed birds....I wouldn't mind it the birds didn't shit all over my patio. The maintenance guy is sort of a funny fellow, and the homeowners association are a bit bizarre. Everything seems perfect here, but its like the Stepford wives where something is really out of place. So I am not going to pry or anything, I am just going to go about my business and ignore everything going on around me. I really don't want to get caught up in a story line that involves one of my neighbors being a serial killer and I am living a real life "Killer next door" scenario.
