Thanks, Cindy. I'm going to call my lawyer anyway.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

[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 would too, sj. It's not clear to me if they're exempt from not discriminating, or if they're just exempt from modifying units to make them accessible, and/or allowing their tenants to do so. Good luck. What she did was so wrong, not to mention ridiculous. Who knows better than you whether or not a place is going to be safe/usable for you? What an awful thing.

The exemption from having to modify units makes sense to me, because it puts a strong financial burden on the part of the property owner. The exemption for being an a prejudice asshole doesn't. Anyone can fall down stairs in ice in the winter. There is a sturdy railing in place, which means I am no more likely to be that person than anyone else.

Trust my rage
sj, I'm sorry you had such acrazy-making experience yesterday.
I feel like I should know this, but can I ask what sort of disability you have? Not that it matters at all, but I'm just curious since we've been discussing its effects on your life.

I have Spina Bifida. I'm paralyzed below my knees, but I walk.

Librarian Warlord
no coffee in house this morning
Fix this before I come up again or I'll turn my car right around!
It's quiet time at the law school because exams have begun and professors don't come in because they don't want to be cornered by nervous law students. Ahhh, peace and quiet.

Our wings are not tired.
I skipped, but had to scroll back to see what happened to sj. Stunned with the stupid. I really just don't understand.
Good news in Lauraland. I had my blood tested because I have a kidney infection. Whatever, I'll get rid of that. But I got updated cholesterol numbers. Bad stuff down, good stuff up. In 4 months from 320 down to 271. LDL went from 226 to 196 and HDL went from 56.4 to 69.6. The number that seems odd to me is the Triglyceride which was 240 and is now 78. I must have had a cheesy breakfast or something. Not taking any drugs, just oatmeal, fishy pills and not eating cheese fries 4 times a day. Still have a ways to go, but doc says keep on doing what I'm doing. Yay red wine!

Serial to mention I just got email from Robin's DH! OK, it wasn't like personal or anything, just his SUV newsletter, but still it was fun to see.

Yay, Laura! Congratulations on the lower cholesterol.
