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.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

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!
