A separate issue -- I have been told I need a minor surgery. I suspected what the problem was before being told by a surgeon and I was correct. So, I AM okay. I'm also trying to shed (sell) books as everyone knows.

I’ve detailed the whole sorry saga on my dormant blog and I might have to remove these posts when I reach a deal. But until then I’d love if anyone felt moved to share this post anywhere on social media. Any platform. As long as it draws the views and awareness to the insane stuff these people can get away with.

If you don’t want to share, that’s ok. I still love you.

Not to make light of your situation at all but that's best selling New York Times list shit there, brother! I also found your write-up on unschooling extremely interesting. I absolutely dreaded and hated school. So much so that I never made an attempt to attend anything school like after high school. Unschooling would have been a great fit for me I feel looking back. Are you still doing this for the kids?
As far as unschooling goes, yeah we're still on that path. The kids still love to learn.

Thanks again. And it hasn't gone to a lawsuit. I should be done in my dealings with ServPro shortly. Hopefully this week.

Thank you! It's been hard but I know it's only for a short time longer and there are people dealing with much harder shit and they're doing it with more grace than me. I try to maintain perspective and stay grateful for the good things in my life.

Well, I have had some spots of good luck and all of them have been within the book collecting community. And this shit show should be heading out of town shortly.

Removing the posts is a good faith measure on my part to get a conclusion to the mess. Satisfactory left the country months ago and was last spotted bleeding out in a Turkish alley. So I have no expectations of enjoying the conclusion. It's remarkable to me how much these guys were able to get away with.

I don't remember what thread it's on over at TDT.org but srboome (Terry) had a company that screwed with him as well. He ended renting a billboard and driving around with a big ass sign in his truck bed. I hope you never have to escalate to that point.
