I read this far, assembling many witty and insightful comments in my head but I'm still sleep deprived and the only thing I can remember now I've got to the posting box is: wouldn't The Muslim Slutbombs be a great name for a band?
Gabriel: Are you trying to destroy this family? Simon: I didn't realize it would be so easy.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok - one of my tenants is acting shifty.
We scheduled the water department to come out and inspect for leaks because our bills have running really high. The meters are located in her apartment.
She is refusing us entry because she just "can't" and "it's personal".
Now, she totally has the right to refuse us entry - we didn't notify her because we forgot the meters were in there. I get that. But A) she hasn't paid her rent this month and B) she was totally acting shifty. She didn't say, "You didn't give me notice I don't have to let you in." I'd totally understand, end of story, reschedule water guy. But instead she was VERY evasive and some guy in the background is saying, "No. Just tell them you can't. Tell them no."
Bet this guy moved in and she doesn't want us to know cause that breaks her lease.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sox, sounds good. We'll have car but don't know the city too well.
Our appointment is at 10. But we've been told that our part could take a couple hours, could take all day, could take a couple hours followed by a break and then another couple hours. We've already decided to stay overnight.

Now tagless for your comfort.
She's just buying time, Aimee, right? You guys have a legal right to enter with advance notice. She may be in trouble, anyway.
Oh, Suzi, what a pain! I hope you can get K-Bug's trip worked out to better benefit her visit goals.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If you want EVERYONE to send you death threats.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I have been trying to let K-Bug handle the trip arrangements. I mean, she is 17 and this has to do with college. I need to step back and let her deal at some point, right. But this feels like a mix between "Thank you for the iPod, but I wanted the black one not the white one" and "Thanks for doing this, but you didn't do this the way I wanted even though the trip is supposed to be all about me and my college aspirations."
Blarg. I need to win the lottery. But to do that I have to play. Darn it.

Trust my rage
I'd totally understand, end of story, reschedule water guy.
How much notice do you have to give her? Because I'd give her notice now of the rescheduled water dude and then give her the minimum notice for you/the landlord to go inspect.
Yeah, I had some niggling suspicions for a long while.
I think moms just know somehow. I mean, after all, no one spends more time with them than you.
The therapy sounds like it's doing a lot of good and it sounds like O is doing well.

Suzi imo this isn't just a holiday trip, it's important for K-Bug to be there at a certain time. But if things are tense between you and your Dad maybe you could get K-Bug to talk to him and explain why she needs to reschedule her flight.
