Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.  

[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.

Punishingly Intricate

Do they actually last any decent length of time?

I know she did something to them afterwards to set the image better but I don't know what it is. I will find out!

I was searching for a pic of the twins in one of the iron-on things and this was the only one I could find:

They are so much bigger now!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

This picture is simultaneously ded-of-teh-cute and frickin' hilarious.

move out and draw fire

I used CafePress (since no Staples) to make custom stuff for Mal. And you are so right that there should be Little Nemo clothes! And nursery decor!

Also, it's 2 am, so I am going to wish all the Bitches a lovely day/night/whatever, and retire.

Mostly lurking...

I’M WRITING THIS POST FROM MY BRAND NEW LAPTOP.

Ahem.

Laptop likes carrots.

Gives me something to distract myself from Possibilities (or maybe he should be renamed No Possibilities) Boy.

I'd be inclined to let her screw up one more time before sending the letter if she sounded contrite enough.

I'm sort of with Trudy on this, vw. Or, I might take a middle road, and just inform her on the phone, something like, "Look, we really want decent notice when you're coming over. A recording on the voice mail doesn't cut it. I need you to at least talk to one of us, so if it isn't a good time, we can let you know. I'd really prefer the 24 hours we're allowed, but try to be generous in that regard when I can."
If you were staying there, I might recommend you go stronger, but you're almost out. You can reserve the letter if the verbal warning doesn't do the trick, but you're almost out of there, and if Emily let him in (I thought he let himself in) yesterday, yeah, what he did still doesn't respect all your rights, but it's helping you guys, if he's putting in a screen (or whatever he was doing).
Yeah, I’ve pretty much decided that I’m going to call and try to reason with her. She’s trying…or at least she *looks* like she’s trying. So, I’m gonna give her the benefit of the doubt. I’ll let you all know how it goes, as I’m going to call her soon.

Have they already rented out the place?

Yes.

vw, I think you should alter the letter to reflect your most recent conversation, but I would send it anyway. I have no doubt that they will continue to take advantage of you if you don't.

My therapist suggested that I try to talk with her, and if she doesn’t seem to be getting the message that I stop the conversation and say, “When you didn’t call back yesterday I wrote you a letter. Maybe I’ll go ahead and send it, just so we know that we’re completely understanding each other.” Then I’ll make a few little changes to the letter to soften it a bit and send it off.

I might add a bit about today’s conversation, saying that you really appreciate the call, and are glad that you can work this out.

Yeah. See that’s the thing that really gets me about her voice mail today. She specifically said that she wants to fix it. That calms me down a bit and gives me some hope.

Also, apparently when Mr. Landlord was here today replacing the screen he mentioned something about “maybe we could be out early so he could fix some things,” so that gives me a little hope in that regard as well. I’m gonna try to be reasonable and kind and insistent.

I just got back from the final walk-through before really truly finally honest-to-doG signing my life away and buying our pretty house tomorrow morning.

WHOOT!

Wonderful but sad-making daybed.

Oh, Aimee, that is gorgeous!

Now, off to walk the dog, then call the landlord. Not quite as exciting as the new computer.

What is even happening?

I just got back from the final walk-through before really truly finally honest-to-doG signing my life away and buying our pretty house tomorrow morning. If I'm too exhausted to show up at the closing can I just phone in?

No, sweetie. They need to prick your finger, and draw blood, to use as ink. Remember? Also, there's that pesky receipt for the microwave plate. I wonder if you could trick them with the receipt you got for S.

I know that was my comment, but I do think Vortex made a good point about not saying part of what I suggested, which was: "I'd really prefer the 24 hours we're allowed, but try to be generous in that regard when I can."

I think Vortex was right on that, and if you mention that, it should be stronger, like, "We expect the 24 hour notice we're allowed," or something. It doesn't have to be said confrontationally.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

In looking around for possible furnished places in the SF area, I found this:

"FEMALE ONLY PLEASE (this is not a sexually oriented ad )"

Good to know that option's out there. Er.

PLUS you pay $350 for the privilege.
