It seems like every week there is someone from the Real Housewives of New Jersey in court. This week, it was Joe and Melissa back again trying to evict Kai Patterson from their Montville home. purchase agreement. In accordance with a previous ruling, it was expected that Patterson would finally be forced to leave the home where he currently lives with his (step?) father; however, the judge declined to evict him.
Superior Court Judge Stephen Taylor vacated the previous ruling that found Patterson in default on the lease because the motion was not heard in open court as New Jersey law requires when an option to buy a leased property is involved. Because Gorga tried to file the eviction pro se, he was unaware of the applicable law. That makes sense except for the fact that a judge, if not this judge ruled to evict and one would think the judge would be versed in the law. Apparently, the option to buy makes the applicable laws those concerning the sale of property rather than those governing rental property laws.
Joe also failed to include Melissa’s name on the lease and brought the eviction proceeding against Patterson personally rather than his company who is technically the renter/purchaser listed on the contract. They got all of that straightened out. Joe has a lawyer now and a new trial date has been set for a week from Friday. Joe didn’t even show up in court this week. Will Patterson actually be evicted? Or will he continuous to live blissfully ensconced in Grey Gardens with his beaver friends? I’ve actually never heard a guy complain about free beaver before. I’ll let you know.
Ward, I think there is something wrong with the Beaver….
HA!!!!!
Hilarious !
hahaha!
wow..this does happen quite a bit – two judges – two different outcome- NOT the free beaver thing
I am speechless…..
More importantly, what will the Judge do with the beavers? I just am picturing them out in the cold, alone, homeless. Will the Gorga’s adopt the beavers? Joe does look a bit like a beaver. Are the beavers behind in their rent? So many questions.
Yeah. I feel they are neglecting the beaver issue and it’s either cold, unwarranted Beaver Hatred or perhaps a conspiracy.
We should get a petition for the beaver family. The Gorgas should be forced to provide them with better living conditions and Obamacare.

Last season it was obvious the realtors’ felt The Gorgas way overpriced their home.
Then as if to prove to the world that they could get full asking price, they got suckered into a deal that seemed too good to be true – and apparently it was.
Now they are being schooled on why it is a good idea to listen to the professionals instead of being guided by public perception, imho.
Unrealistic expectations by sellers are not unique to those two. It seemed like almost every episode of MDLNY there was a seller that thought their property was unique……..Sonja Morgan???
I fucking love Grey Gardens.
The Edies would’ve LOVED a reality show!
I love the smell of beaver in the morning
The bigger, the free-er, the better.
Hahahahaha. I love the beaver jokes.
One would think that he will be evicted but if this was New York, it could take years to get him out. Depends on the Landlord/Tenant laws in NJ. But since I don’t believe there are any accidents in the universe, I’m sure Joe and Melissa must have learned a valuable lesson. Like when you try to get over, the tables can turn. I know it’s difficult for New Jersey folks though. They go down hard.
Well as Tamara stated above, the buyer/seller laws come into effect rather than the tenant/landlord because the lease to purchase.
Lol. Beavers in the walls. Haha. Sorry….I’m kind of glad that the Beavers are taking over. They knew it was time for the Gorgas to go. Mother Nature evicted them! :)) The Beavers don’t five a damn! Bahahaha

If any of these people get hungry, Beaver meat is good wrapped in bacon and fried or made into sausage.
If they get cold, beaver coats. Any thing wrapped in bacon is good.
Really? Haha. Good one. I wonder if it tastes like chicken? One time I tried Rattlesnake. It doesn’t taste like chicken. haha. They barbequed it up. Yuck. The said it tasted like chicken. ewwwww.
I remember the episode where a prospective buyer was looking at a sink and it turned out to be cheap cardboard type laminate. It was supposed to be marble. If a builder uses that kind of material then he was someone to stay far far away from.
Speaking of beaver, Jeff Lewis has a paint shade called beaver.
Is it pink? I thought his corporate sponsor nixed all the good colors like pearl necklace….

Nope, Beaver is a nice dark brown shade. And….he just changed the necklace into a bracelet and added a shade called White Collar too.
When i was out west i stopped at one of the stores where his paint line is carried and picked up the color palette booklet.
I think the judgement will go to the Beavers and Joe and Kai will have to vacate 🙂
Yes! The beavers are sitting tenants and have RIGHTS. There may be a beaver graveyard underneath. The beavers must change the locks, and dam up the windows, and establish a beaver sanctuary. Environment and Heritage must get involved. And if Mr Tumnus is around, it means it is the route to Narnia.
Bring on the Turkish delight.
Once year I taught fifth grade. The brilliant pedagogical philosophy for that five minutes was to put ALL the special ed kids in one class on each grade with a SPED teacher to team teach. That was also the year the took people with no teaching experience at all and paid them a hefty bonus to sign on to teach SPED.
Fifth and 8th grades are the worst of all the grades to teach in my opinion. So there I was, teaching fifth for the first and only time creating lesson plans from scratch as I go under a new standards umbrella. This principal announces in a faculty meeting introduced the SPED teacher who he was thrilled was from “corporate America” meaning she was a secretary the year before and was going to school for SPED while “teaching” her first year. Did I mention I that SPED now includes “gifted” kids. So I had kids that could not read at all on one end of the spectrum and one kid who was a genius on the other. I had to differentiate my lesson plans for each kid individually, and the principal that year was a former drill sergeant turned police officer who was a Jesus freak with a limited vocabulary who thought God had called him to be a principal. I am not making any of this up. Totally true. Huge nightmare.
So the principal hated me because I tried to point out in my ever so gentle way ( I mean you know, for me) that his ideas were ineffective and time consuming. Eventually, I would be proven right each time, and this infuriated him.
So one day, I am called into the office for an ass chewing. I was accused of cussing in the classroom. Now, one of the reasons I have such a trash mouth here is because I spent years not being able to curse, and I have lots of pent up vulgarities now that I’m not teaching. I NEVER cursed in class, even if a door got smashed on my hand. Nothing. I was dumbfounded. How was I going to prove I didn’t do something. This was BAD.
So principal told me that one of my special ed students said I was his favorite teacher because I said bad words. Oh great. This was one of my favorite kids. Why is he telling the principal I’ve been cursing in class “every day.”
I was using The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe as my base text and differentiating across a spectrum of 12 grade levels. While all the drama was happening with the principal, I was reading aloud to the class when the SPED student interrupted. Why aren’t you cussing anymore? I’m mortified. I ask him what he meant. And held my breath. You haven’t said damn in a long time.
It was the chapter about the beavers. He would giggle uncontrollably during the entire chapter.But he was generally a happy kid. I didn’t make much of a connection other than he loved the book. That chapter talks about the beavers and their* dams* a lot.
I finally explained this to the principal. He didn’t think it was funny and implied that I should not have read that part of the book because it gave the appearance of cursing. #BangsHead.
And this is just a glimpse into how I got anxiety disorder. I really thought it would go away once I quit teaching. So far not so much. But at least I am able to laugh at the crazy stories now.
/end overshare
Sorry you started it by reminding me of Narnia. 🙂

And I thought the politics in hospitals were bad. Was this public school? If this is an example of Christianity in action, I am glad I am a liberal Episcopalian aka ungodly and pagan.
I totally felt like I was getting gaslighted all day every day. At this particular school under that particular principal (once we got one trained they went somewhere else) the teachers cried in the hall on a daily basis. We were all on the edge of a nervous breakdown. The kids were great but the admin/district/other teachers were vicious. I would have people come to visit me after class to pick me up to go somewhere and more than once was asked if someone died because so many people would be crying at the end of the day.
Yes, public school. My schools in this district were in bad areas so they sent their least favorite admins there.

I hate it when people complain that teachers are overpaid, have big pensions, summer vacation, etc. I knew teachers that waited tables to make ends meet. Like all teachers go in it for the money. I say pay a teacher like you would a babysitter(min wage) so $7.25×30 students/hour =$217.5/hour
$217.5×6 hours/day =$1305/day x5 days/week=$6525/week. This figure does not include prep time and meetings.
I showed this to someone who said teachers were overpaid baby sitters. Informed them teachers start at $30,000./year
damn.
Love the beaver picture almost as much as the Gorgas getting their comeuppance!
If the Gorgas get this guy evicted, are they going to move back in with their beaver friends and leave their cozy 5,000 sq. foot rental? They haven’t been able to build their mansion. Joe could skin one and use it as his hair piece now since he stopped using the black spray paint.
Melissa said that is exactly the plan. She implied the parts about the beaver.

Well Melissa can always get some diamond encrusted collars and leashes for the beavers and start a new pet craze in New Jersey. Or, or start a new brand…grow your own fur coat. Lmao.
I don’t think Melissa will take kindly to strange beaver living in the house.

I am just thankful Melissa hasn’t shown us the (her) beaver Joe talks about wanting 24/7.
He made a couple comments last episode… But I agree with u ! Hearing about “Tarzan” all the time gets old.
Keep the tea on the Gorga housing situation coming! Reality bites.
Are we sure the beavers aren’t really the 4 Guidice kids?
Eve you are wicked. If you don’t have anything nice to say about anyone at all, come sit next to me.
We would be sitting together a long time. Just leave it to ever.
HaHa
I would love to see a new reality show, The Real Beavers of New Jersey ! The Gorgas beavers could give us the True lowdown about Tre and juicy , and what work Melissa had done ! She looks fabulous , BTW!
re: TT @ 10:55am
Reminds me of:
Went to the dam man, but the dam man didn’t have any dam water,
So I told the dam man he could keep his damn water.
Oops! Left a bit out.
Went to the dam man TO GET SOME DAM WATER,
but the dam man didn’t have any dam water.
So I told the dam man he could keep his damn water.
In retrospect, the beaver chapter did use the word dam A LOT. I explained what it was and most everyone got it, but still thought it was funny, Skippy wasn’t quite able to grasp the definition but really enjoyed the discussion.

When my son was little he used to get a kick out of saying the dam man thing – he really thought he was getting away with something.
p.s. That particular school sounds like a horrid workplace. Some bosses can truly make work life a living hell, sorry you (or anyone else) had to go through that.
For a few schools over a few districts I kept thinking it was just that school or just that principal. As it turns out, I just didn’t have the intestinal fortitude that other teachers had to maintain professionalism with idiots and not let it get to me.
Once in a faculty meeting, the principal who wrote me up for calling him incompetent introduced a new book of the month that we were all required to incorporate in our lesson plans across grade levels and make displays for in the wall every month. I was one of the few teachers who actually like that sort of crap. The book was called Mathterpieces. It used famous works of art to teach very simple addition facts. He informed us that it used art from some people he had never heard of, Deegus, Renner, and Pisco. I’m thinking wow, I’ve never heard of them either
It was Degas, Renoir and Picasso. He honestly had never heard of any of them. Ever. At all. No clue. And no idea that everyone else had.

The artists reminds me of when I moved to the south and a girl in my French class responded to someone in French by saying, “Mercy bow coups!” I about lost it, ‘course within about 5 months I had a southern drawl too.
What an idiot. Everybody knows the correct phrase is “mercy buttercups!” :)

That reminds me of living in Spokane. The flower shops would always have sales on “bokays”.
Cultural wasteland. I would have demanded a canad dispenser in the Teachers’ lounge. When I went on 02 I quit nursing. Went back to school for health information. My first job after graduation was hell. I almost thanked God for kidney failure so I could quit w/out notice. (The Kidney Failure)
Xanax dispenser.
-And I thought I’d had nightmare jobs! That school experience was Hieronymous Bosch! I HOPE you didn’t show the children a drawing of Mr Tumnus. A male fawn, yes, but suspiciously satyr-like. Did you read out about the White Queen tempting Edmond with Turkish Delight? I never thought that book could be a mine field. You should have read them The Water Babies…
Everything I have read about their tenant/purchaser lead me to believe that the Gorgas are going to be the fight of their lives trying to get their house back. Also, isn’t this Montville house tied in to their shore house, via one mortgage on both properties? I smell another housewife foreclosure. When that happens the tenant/purchaser will probably turn around and sue the Gorgas. This will not end pretty. Thanks for keeping us updated!! I love legal loopholes, traps, entrapment and stupid – I find it all very entertaining.
Nah, Two separate mortgages. And I doubt it will be that big of a deal. Joe and Melissa should be about to move back in with the beavers in time for Christmas.
