Spike's Bitches 25 to Life  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What is even happening?

I think I did say something like, "Why can't I stay where I want to stay?"
This is asking for permission. Don't. If they're not funding you, and you're not looking for them to fund you, they don't get to have a say over this. They can offer suggestions, which you appreciate, because you know they come from love, but you're not obliged to follow their suggestions.

But I'm with beth. It's time to get a stupid job. Just something. If nothing else, it will be money you can use toward paying a mover, or paying that double rent.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

"Why can't I stay where I want to stay?

I think this sounds mean - but If I change the words a little

"W hy can't I stay at the playground"

You'll guess why you didn't get the response you wanted out of it.

brenda's words are good

Punishingly Intricate

I thought all leases had a lease-breaking provision, with a penalty, of course. Apparently, not this one.

uh...they can't force you to stay. I'd say it's time to research Tenant rights in your state.

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

they can't force you to stay

But they may be able to force you to pay.

I ended up paying out my last month when I left MI.

Oh yes of course. But can they really make you pay for 12 months of rent?

That seems more reasonable.

And, really, even if it is true that they can make you pay for the whole lease, if the rental market in AA is so tight it seems like it would be no problem to get a subletter if the opportunity came to move before the lease was up.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I am too. I thought all leases had a lease-breaking provision, with a penalty, of course. Apparently, not this one.

Slim? The housing market in A2 is insane. Apartments are snatched up like that. That's why the leasing season starts in November.

OK, there's some bullshit going on somewhere. You need to see a copy of the actual lease. Landlords often say that a lease can't be broken, when they actually mean it can't be broken without penalty. And frankly, it's better for them if they lease to someone who won't break it, so they're going to make it sound as written in stone as they can. Read the lease - I'll bet there's something in there, like 30 or 60 day liablity, or full lease term liability if they are unable to relet, etc.

That's what I had left on the lease. They were firm in insisting I pay whatever remained on the lease (and I do remember, albeit vaguely, assuming this responsibility when I signed it -- whether it was legal as written, I dunno. bon bon will -- she's a lawyer who rented in A2).

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Clearly whoever designed the Sorrento Valley Post Office
This would be the executives at Fox.

Took me ages to get into that place the one time I tried. I was pointing at the building, "I want to go point there." but the road refused to actually make that possible. It's the Post Office with no entrance.

P-C, many people are being wise.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Does anyone remember when Aimee is getting back from the wedding?
