Are you willing to move to Chicago? If so, I can find you a place.
Unsnarkily, your landlord should be hung by his toenails and be forced to watch Punky Brewster episodes.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

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
Sure, I'd move to Chicago, but then I'd need a job as well. Too hard.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Shrift did it! Does she have a job? I think so.
I was really impressed with my thriftiness at Trader Joe's just now, but I double-checked my receipt, and only paid for six of my eight items. Oops.

Now tagless for your comfort.
If you wanted to switch nerd preserves and nanny actuaries, I could find you a nice apartment here in town for that amount and Ruby could have her own room.
But I suspect some talented LAista with some wicked real estate skillz will find you something on craigslist. You definitely need a new place and your landlord needs to get the oranges-in-the-sock treatment.

Allyson, did you have any luck with lawyers or tenant associations?

As soon as I sent a letter to the company with the word, "uninhabitable" in it, I had the building owner in my apartment fixing the pipe. But now it's coming through a different area, straight into my bathtub, which i suppose is a good place if you're going to have a leak.

So, my friend with the two-month-old is apparently still all cracked out. She sent me the birth announcement (a photo postcard -- super cute!!) twice. Basically the same hand-written note. Heh.

Um, my brain is kinda melty and I'm supposed to be somewhere, so just to say "Yay, Buffistas then and now on 9/11, boo terrorism"
Also, when I heard the news on the radio, they just said "a plane", but I assumed it was a small plane because of that small plane that hit the Empire State Building a few years before that....I figured it had happened before, and anything else didn't even occur to me. Until I turned on the TV.

I think I just need to stay away from appliances. The microwave set off the breaker (fixed that.) Then my freezer spontaneously exploded and attacked me with frozen naan. Then I made the mistake of turning on the tv at the worst possible time and I threw the remote at it after 5 sentences yelling "Banality fuckers banality!" and the batteries popped out. So I had to endure long enough to manually change the channel (to fuzz) and reprogram the remote.
Maybe I should cut the lights and use candles. Maybe my laptop will explode next!
