Timelies all!
Allyson, I'm sorry your landlord's being a slacker jackhole about the plumbing problems. Shred 'em.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

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
This is the response I got:
Allyson, I contacted a plumber this morning and I need to call him the afternoon. His name is Ed (number removed) and he’ll try to make it to your apartment today. You can try him if you want right before lunch and tell him that you spoke to me, Robert, this morning and make an appointment for him to come to your apartment today or ASAP. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments.

Allyson, I contacted a plumber this morning and I need to call him the afternoon.
"Allyson, I finally left the plumber a voicemail after I got your email." Whatever.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Still unacceptable. He should've been on the phone to a plumber within 10 minutes of the first time you got hold of him about this, not many days of wall stench and bloating later. You should be cc'ing all the agencies everyone else linked to above with every single communication you have with this weasel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What JZ said. What a jackhole.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Sorry if this was already posted in another thread. NYT again covers the effect of showrunners going on TwoP: [link]
From the article, of interest to VM fans:
Mr. Thomas conceded that his awareness of the fans' reactions had occasionally influenced the way he wrote "Veronica Mars." Fans hated a second-season character played by Tessa Thompson, he said, leading him to overcompensate in an effort to make the character likable. "I feel like I sold out a little," Mr. Thomas said. "She became a little saintly by the end. If I had to do it over again, I'd leave her a little more complicated."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Allyson, I hope it gets fixed soon. Is there any thought to looking for a new place? I know that would suck, but from your neighbors' said, it looks like this is sop for your landlord.
I am waiting for a/c repair man to show up. The 8am call said my appt. would be btw 12-2, so I'm more than halfway through the waiting, I hope.

The apartments are so expensive, msbelle. It'd be hard to find a place in the area for the same price and then there's the expense of moving. I'm really just torn. I am taking Strega's advice and having the city inspect my unit. I hope the pressure makes them act.

Stuff like that Times article is why I'm surprised so many people I know have never heard of TWoP. I guess those people wouldn't really read those articles, is why.
