No!
Underage drinking, I hope. It was that or something I really still don't want to know ANYTHING about.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yeah, this whole "sleep" thing? So not happening tonight.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
All right, I am attempting to draft an e-mail to my landlord asking for a lower rent. I feel like it should be short and direct. I know it's not supposed to hurt to ask, but I'm still afraid of insulting him or something. And yet I probably have leverage since two out of the four units in this building are vacant at the moment.
So how does this sound? (I am using fake numbers because...you're not supposed to talk about how much rent you pay?)
When I moved here three years ago, $532 was a very good deal and a great value for a one-bedroom apartment. It was the lowest rent of all the apartments in this area. It has gone up twice since then, though, and $586 is no longer a great value. There are several apartments in the area renting for $500 or $525. A couple down the street are going for $475, and they, like some of these others, include water, which makes them even cheaper overall.
I have been a very good tenant for three years; I don't cause problems and I pay my rent on time. You have always worked with me in the past to resolve any issues I have had, be they noisy neighbors, unwanted rodent visitors, or the mysterious toilet ghosts. I ask that you please consider reducing the rent to once again make it a better value than the competition.

Dude! That's how they exploit us.
I'd just note that the market has changed, the economy has changed and you're a good tenant. Bottom line is: you've got to be willing to move if you want to have leverage.
You're just on the cusp of moving being a pain in the ass, whereas all the previous moves of your life were sort of a given and didn't seem consequential.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Hil, your whole situation with the pain and the PITA doctors sucks.

I can't tell you how confused I am by people who aren't using their own pictures in such cases.
LMAO at MM and Matilda. Dudes, you're perfect for morning laughs.
Hil, way to go on the proof! And I'm totally in favor of painful revange of your doctors and the system. It's not right that you're in pain. I hope you caught some sleep.
Dude! That's how they exploit us.
What the dude said.
