I have a migraine. No fun. I've been getting them more often lately, which I think can be blamed on one of my new meds, which I'll have to talk to my doctor about.
Darn your sinister attraction!

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

move out and draw fire
Hi everybody. Sympathy, compassion, and chainsaws if needed to connie and ND.
We moved this weekend. We didn't mean to, but Thursday night the realtor who's been showing our rental TH rang our doorbell in a flat panic. Seems she'd found new renters, who had signed the lease and paid their deposit on June 27, and were going to be arriving with a truck full of stuff from New York on Monday.
Nobody had bothered to tell us.
I can't decide if our property managers are just that dumb, or just that criminal. They were honestly surprised that we were staying through the end of the month. We said, "But you cashed our rent check for the full month...on July 5."
They might have been trying to get double rent for half the month, who knows.
We explained that we still had over 10,000 lbs of stuff in the TH, and with 48 hours notice we could not move out and meet the terms of the lease, which include a professional cleaning.
No answer. So we put out the call for friends to help us move, and maybe to help us move bodies.
I'll skip the rest of the weekend's hell, but we got totally moved out of the TH, and the PMs decided they couldn't waive the terms of the lease, so we have the TH until the end of the month. I can only hope they are losing major money regarding the new tenants.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Holy shit, Raq, that's insane.

Poor Raq. You are so frequently being bedeviled. And you don't deserve it, no!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Holy fuck, Raq, that's awful. I can't even imagine how you got through the weekend without bloodshed.

It's the Winchester Luck.
I'm glad we are moved, though. It's nice to see Mal running around in a yard.
I'm just having some culture shock: all of our neighbors have stopped by and introduced themselves at various times. And while we were off-loading the truck on Saturday, yet another set of neighbors brought over a cooler with drinks for us! My shit is officially freaked out.

Freaky, but nice, Raq. I haven't met anyone else that lives in the apartments near us. I've seen people and nodded and such, but no actual conversations.

That is a GREAT housewarming present. I'm going to keep that in mind.
