Update: The castle as of April 2015 is actually only around $1,300,000 USD now due to the currency exchange rates! :D
this goes even further, some European countries will give you a castle for free if you submit a plan stating how you intend to restore or preserve it. Italy alone for example has somewhere between 100 and 300 castles they intend to give away to anyone with intent to be a caretaker, they literally cant keep track of how many discount castles are up for grabs
it doesn’t even have to be an ambitious plan, even if it says you just intend to keep it from becoming more shitty and will occasionally add a few bricks when you can afford it. given that most of them come with land you could convert the grounds to actually produce enough income to pay for the repairs- like setting up apple trees and brewing cider you sell with your castle name on the bottle, or raising some goats for cheese, a hobby farm could turn this into an actual income opportunity. hell, throwing parties at the castle could make it an income opportunity
they will literally –GIVE– you a castle to make sure someone is taking care of it rather then let them all sit empty
yesterday, i was editing my theme and when I clicked the save button it wouldn’t let me save. so i exited, but tumblr logged me out! when i tried to log back in, this shows up:
i panicked and searched online for resolutions, then i found this post(thank you thesassycat!) basically you click “contact support” and write an email to tumblr explaining what happened. be specific if you can. contact them through the contact support page only, they dont accept emails to support@tumblr.com anymore. it’s not included in that post, but make sure to write your ip address too(you can find out what it is here). here’s the problem, you don’t have access to your tumblr email. after you write your request, explain the issue regarding what happened to your old email(password forgotten, etc). then send the case. i wrote something like:
“Hello! I was editing my tumblr theme and suddenly tumblr terminated me without warning. I would like to know why my account been terminated and would like to get it back. My IP address is _____ and my blog URL is http://bapogichi.tumblr.com. I am using another email because my old one isn’t accessible recently. Thank you“
it will be converted into a “ticket” and placed in a queue so be very patient! they will notify you when they received your request, follow their advice and DO NOT send another request if eg. you missed a detail or whatever, keep it in the same thread! usually it will be answered within a day, so please relax and dont do what i did where i panicked hahhaha mine was answered around 11pm (11am in new york time)
they will respond to you and explain why they terminated your blog(mine was because of a spam issue) and may ask you to delete or refrain from posting stuff regarding it(eg. illegal music..) orr it may have been a mistake. make sure to thank them.
so yeah, share this to someone who had this problem, also be careful and please don’t panic
