3 Years! Good Grief! I think I would have slit my throat by one year alone. LOL That is terrible, incredible. How in the world is that possible? Obviously, if someone isn't footing their bill, they need to move on. Even a year is far too long to wait till a person is evicted for non-payment or for any bad behavior. Maybe we have meaner people here in California than you do in France. Has anyone lived in the States and moved to France or vice versa, and what are your comparisons of lifestyles. I think the French have it made, especially, with the medical benefits, and people that assist you with children in the home and house organization. I can't pay anyone enough to get my home in shape, okay..that's a bit of a stretch since I do only live in a little trailer. It is quite the lifestyle I have to admit. Sorry for the ramblings...
