Aims, I hope I didn't come across as insensitive, complaining about my mortgage issues. I mean my complaint more as one of solidarity.
Oh gosh - not at all!! Housing issues are housing issues, no matter what form they come in. Owning is just as lousy with Issues and renting is.
I like 'owning' a house.
I hate it more than I can say.
Renting from not family would probably be a good thing for you, but it wouldn't mean that the same situation might not happen. I don't see any fail here.
Hey, Aims, I'm watching an iCarly marathon right now. The kids aren't even in the room.
Have they shown the episode with the baby chicks?? Or with the record-breaking marathon webcast??

We're just meeting Neville and Spencer's scuplting butter!
We own, and there are times when we really, REALLY wish we didn't.

You are a grown-up, and not a fail-y one. Stop fretting.
The very adult property tax bill is still sitting on my desk. Adulthood is highly over rated.
t RANDOM DANCING
Well if there's gonna be RANDOM DANCING, I need to put on some more appropriate music. ::puts on Jai Ho:: RANDOM BOLLYWOOD!
I'm renting from a friend, which has pluses and minuses. Pluses - no pet deposit, no raise in rent last year, fairly casual attitude towards the timeliness of my rent payment. Minuses - slow to respond to issues, and sometimes fixes them in her priority order instead of mine. I recognize that kind of thing can happen with any landlord, but the friendship does make it harder to be insistent, especially if you're conflict-avoidant me. And she just got on Town Council, so the former issue is certainly not going to get better.
I did my next task but have been avoiding the one after that. ::sigh:: The idea is to go straight down the list to avoid skipping unpleasant tasks but I kind of can't do that one anyway. I *can* do the next one, so I'm off to break it down.
I just cleaned out the heap of bags. down to one bag of paper bags and one bag of plastic grocery bags.
and I mopped that tiny corner.
15 minutes.
Why do I put these jobs off
Generally I'm pretty happy to be renting.
