My rental condos

As many of you may know I rent fully furnished condos to people going through Liver, Heart or Lung transplants at the Mayo Clinic here in Jacksonville, FL. My husband and I had to find a rental condo to stay in immediately after he had his transplant and the choices we had really weren't acceptable, but we stayed in one anyway.

A few months after his transplant & as I tell the story - while he was still under the insanity that is Prednisone - he purchased three condos. Prednisone is a steroid that they give post-op transplant patients, which has a tendency to cause wide mood swings. (and in our case, compulsive condo buying)

So my husband purchased these condos & decided that since I wasn't doing anything I could renovate, decorate, furnish, maintain, market and rent the condos. I say this all with a laugh now because I do like having the condos and the people that rent from us. I love to take care of them and be their friend and help them through a real rough patch in their lives. However, I didn't need to have three of them and I didn't need to have them at that point. Tom was still very fragile and not well, so it took me a long time to get them ready to be rented.

I have a website that I use to show people what I have available and why we have the condos. It is basically what I said above, but in a much less snarky tone :) and it has pictures of two of the units. You can go see my website here at www.medrestjax.com

My website is as basic as you can get. I like it that way - no distractions. However, it gets so many comments from spammers. But this one group of spammers made me laugh. One said that they were going to report me for "stealing article" but that they had better article at (insert their spammy website url.) Then a few comments later another spammy comment saying that they agreed, I did steal the article. These were up a few weeks before I checked over there, now I moderate the comments.

This is what I received this morning.

Comment:
I congratulate on a holiday of all

(A holiday of all?? What? What does this have to do with condo rentals?)

and then a few hours later

Comment:
Will take also I from you this article, can and I on a blog will have so much comments

(Hey spammers, this isn't an article. It's my story and it is a description of my condos. I don't want comments. This is an information article for people who call me on the phone and want to see what my units look like.)

What gets me is why is it that the one page advertisement for my rental condos gets so much spammy comments. What draws people there? I am only getting a few of these spammy comments each month. I guess it would be a different story if I got hundreds of them each month, but for now, they just make me laugh. I'm not looking for comments over there at my rental condo website, I'm just passing out information for those that are interested in renting from me or interested in seeing what is available.

Here on this blog, the spammers don't care at all obout little ol' me. Maybe this post will bring them in droves!

Have a fabulous day!
