Sophia, what city do you live in again? It'll take me just a couple of minutes to check your city's landlord-tenant rights and responsibilities/rent board/whatnot. Because if you can tack on a couple of "City Ordinance # blah-blah-numbercakes states that..." and "According to local statute # yadda-yadda-digitcakes..." it helps.
I got soundly ignored by my ex-landlords when I moved out of Berkeley and in with Hec, and sent them a letter including a couple of local ordinance #s and print-outs of the city's webpages for the ordinances, and cc'ing the Berkeley Rent Board and a family friend who happened to be a lawyer (something totally unrelated to landlord-tenant disputes, but my ex-landlords had no way of knowing that), and within a week I got my full deposit back plus interest.
I normally drive an automatic, but I'm driving a stick today. I have a lot less leeway in how close I have to get the seat to steering wheel in order to put the clutch in. Almost got a cramp in my left calf before I figured that out. But I learned to drive on a standard and the reflexes have never quite gone away.
I need some help. I'm planning an event thing for work in September. There will be appx 30 people (looking at last years attendance) and the theme is "Teamwork" (my idea). I need some games. The only thing I've come up with is splitting people into small groups and having them figure out how many words they can make from TEAMWORK in X amount of time. I realize I'm going to hve to figure out how many words I can make --but hey! I have until september.
There needs to be at least one more relatively simple game and I can't think of anything.
They can name their team (the crazier the better) and come up with a pitch to sell their concept to the other team.

Delay on Iraq and Houston. "You know, if Houston, Texas, was held to the same standard as Iraq is held to, nobody'd go to Houston"
This is the reason I don't want to visit Houston. The car bombings, the kidnapping, the dangerous trip from the Houston airport to the safe green zone area of Houston. At least in Iraq it's a dry heat and you don't have to wait to get into the restaurants.
