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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hear, you, Allyson.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I'm apartment hunting, the insane behavior of my neighbors has me pouring through Craigslist, and I got an automated response on a bunch of inquiries.
Is it customary for the landlord/rental agency to ask for the application and credit report before I even see the place? Sounds sketchy to me.
Maybe I'll just stick to the newspapers...
eta yeah, I think I will. just went to one of the websites and this is all it was:
"Hi and welcome to Katie's Rentals. Where I, Katie, give you the best deals on apartments and houses that I buy. I own 22 properties over a handful of states in the US."

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Julie,
There are a lot, a lot, a lot, of scammers on Craigslist. If it sounds sketchy, it probably is. [link]

eep!
Don't forget that unless you're anonymizing your email (i.e. [www.anonymizer.com] , amongst others) the email headers probably carry your IP address, which (depending on your ISP) can lead someone to the neighborhood you live in

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
My mom's condo has a stacked washer-dryer unit that's small capacity but does a good and swift enough job. I'll ask her what brand/model it is. All the units in her "independent living community" have them, so I assume the Erickson management is well satisfied with their performance, since they do all the living area repairs (and pretty quickly, too).
Matt, I'm now seriously worried about your company -- postponing the payroll probably means that payables are screwed up, as in clients aren't paying on time -- the slow economic avalanche is still happening. The stimulus can't start soon enough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, slow-paying is a huge problem for everyone. Ugh.
I am already so tired, I'm considering taking off Monday. I woke up this morning at regular-work time (unnecessarily), but tomorrow I have to wake up then too!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gonna try to sell some books to the local used book shop today.

I'm in class, and it looks like the first thing I tried in the complicated program that's due, worked! That is very encouraging for the rest of what I have to get working today.
