Anyone want to read the storytelling dilemma I posted over in Great Write Way?
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[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.

I DO know that, if I leave, he's got many thousands of dollars in repairs, renovations to do before he can rent to anyone else. Not the least of which is lead paint abatement.When my landlord tried to raise my rent 20% a few years back, I sent him a note saying that there was no way I could afford that much, and that I would be looking, and thanks for the 4 years at the place, and oh, for when I move out, here is the laundry list of things that need doing for the next tenant, so you can budget/prepare for it. He wrote back saying how about 5%, which he has done now every year since. Not that any of those items got checked off the list, but at least my rent is still in the reasonable range.

That's genius o_a. Given my guy's unbelievable cheapness, I can see him responding that way. Hm. To bluff, or not to bluff?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I just had a dream that my boss called and woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep. Said dream lasted two hours.
re: Great Dane. Irish Wolfhounds are just as big and much better with kids.

and they're expensive to feed and they take up lots of space but we had four kids climbing all over Rex and he never complained. He'd just raise one eyebrow at Dad and kind of sigh.
Back before people cared much about the safety of their children the entire family and Rex would ride in the MGB. Rex got the back seat, my two sisters and my brother sat on the floor behind the front seats and I was in a bassinet at my Mom's feet.

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
