Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Confuzzled because I would expect the whole thing to be dead if the oven doesn't work

My oven will sometime not heat up at all because the pieces of metal under the oven have buildup on them. I've called maintanance and they've just come and hit the stuff off. (gas oven)

Why don't you just mention it to the landlord. Maybe there's a secret trick.

That's my first step if there's nothing obviously loose or half plugged in.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The first apartment DH and I lived in with no roommates was a 400 sq ft box in a still being renovated building in a bad neighborhood (very cheap). When we moved in, there was no stove and the water heater wasn't hooked up yet. After watching the landlord look extremely incompetent while connecting the gas to the water heater, I decided we didn't ned a stove. Lived there for 6 months cooking on an alcohol burning camp stove. Good times.

Last time I was hunting, some woman tried to get me to see a place which only had a hot plate and one of those dorm fridges. She also went on about how her current tenant was leaving because he was upset at her for coming in to his place (which I suspect was a room with a bathroom, and not a studio as advertised) unannounced. Needless to say, I begged off from even seeing the place. shudders

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Who in the name of all that is holy (almost spelled wholly) when asked whether or not one paragraph of marketing copy looks good says, "I don't know. There may be some ideas and things I want to implement."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Near where I work. When I heard the initial stories, I meant to go look, but I never suspected the truth.

Hi, everybody!

I just wanted to pass a quick word of thanks for all the kind well-wishes in the last thread! Abe's doing great now, but we're all dog-tired. I managed to push back my go-back-to-work date from tomorrow until Monday, so we'll have a few more days of family togetherness. Hooray!

What is even happening?

Hayden, was he not doing great?

Congrats again on your new addition to the family. I hope your dw is well.

ita, that's just sad. I can understand why they killed it, because that's scary, but what a shame. I wonder if they'll ever determine its origins.

Ah, now there's something "we" need to do. I'm not sure exactly what because my direction basically consists of him saying "We need to get some stuff together on that." He knows all the "something" about the "that" so, I'm basically waiting for him to go through his files to come back and dictate it to me, so that I can then write it down. Would it not work more efficiently to cut out the middle man (me)?

So I'm thinking Cordy's apartment search woes in "Rm w/a Vu" resonated pretty strongly with you?
