Allyson, you could get a way cute one bedroom here for $800. In BURBANK which is much cooler than Los Feliz, if you ignore things like actual coolness and concentrate and the "Town Time Forgot" aspect, plus, near us and K&L.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
WAHHHHH!!! I LOVE MY CUTE NEIGHBORHOOD!
But I hate my crappy apartment.
You can always visit the cute neighborhood. You have to be in the apartment every day. Just a thought. It just depends on your priorities -- I mean, there's nothing wrong with paying for location, but sometimes it's a trade-off.

1) What's a "Bachelor" apartment?
An apartment that's smaller than a studio, from what I understand.
2) When they say "single," do they mean a one-bedroom, or a studio?
I assume one bedroom.
3) Why are they bragging about having a fridge and stove? Don't all apartments have those? Now, a dishwasher or washer and dryer, that's worth bragging about!
I don't know about stoves, but some don't come with fridges. But I agree about the other commodities.
Also, all these things are guesses, really, since I don't really know what I'm talking about, I just read quickly, like puzzles, and enjoy wasting time. Or something like that.

Kathy, my guess would be that both "bachelor" and "single" mean studio. Also, apparently apartments out there often don't come with fridges. Fucked up, right?

I'm betting that gynecological tools of a similar age are surprisingly modern-looking because human physiology hasn't changed that much, so there's only so many ways to shape 'em.
I actually came away from the Museum of Surgery with the opposite impression -- that we are sorely overdue for a next-generation speculum. The only difference I could see is that the modern ones rust less.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
They don't have to have fridges and stoves.
A Bachelor is a dorm fridge, a hot plate, and shower with no tub. In fact, you sleep in the tub, a two by four folds out over it and you sort of balance on it.
A single is what I have. A single room. There's a full kitchen and bathroom.
And if you're very lucky, you can spin without touching the walls. But I have short arms.

What could be smaller than a studio??
Ah, and Allyson explains in the crosspost. Of course, in Manhattan, they'd call that a one-bedroom.

Yes, Ali, San Carlos is correct.

I am fascinated that we don't use these terms out here. There are just studios, and then there are one-bedrooms. A bedroom has to have a window, so my friend lives in a "two-room studio" where she actually has her bed in a different room from the kitchen/living room, but it doesn't "qualify" as a bedroom.
