So sorry, Steph.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

[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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Glad the hiccups have stopped. Hope he can get some good rest tonight.
Here's a recent-ish picture of my dad and his siblings; my Uncle Steve is in the middle, holding the water bottle: [link]
And here's one of them unable to resist the urge to act right for the camera (again, Uncle Steve with the water bottle): [link]
That family has some powerful DNA. It's amazing when you really look at them, how much they look alike. And how it's trickled down to the kids and grandkids. I'm short like all of them, and have tiny hands and feet, and my brother (despite being a 6' 2" beast from my mom's father) has their smile.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
My condolences to you and your family, Steph.
Pix, I'm glad ND's hiccups stopped. I hope you rest well tonight.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Wishing both you and Drew restful sleep tonight.
And rest for Teppy and family.

{{{{ Pix & ND }}}} Glad to hear the hiccups are gone. I had a similar problem when I was in hospital a few years back. Very frustrating.

O-A, you need to call the landlord and bitch about this. That's ridiculous.Yes, I did. I sent an e-mail with a detailed list of all that is still not quite upto snuff since moving in. Nothing for a month. So I printed out the e-mail and brought it when I paid rent this week. "Oh, that e-mail addy is no longer active". It's 'frontdesk@[company].com'. I said "it didn't bounce back as an inactive account. It's working, nobody is checking it". "[maintenance guy] is meeting with his boss right now, I will pass this along to them, and we will get on it." It's all bullshit. I just want my damn dishwasher fixed, and the flappers in the toilets to stop leaking. The other stuff on the list, whatever.
Sadly, I am far too old for her.
Is she underage?Oh good, ita is having the same thoughts I am.

omnis audis, might be worth investing in a Nolo book on CA renter's rights. Or check it out from the library if they have it.

It seems the repairs I need are all "minor", which is probably why they keep getting put on the back burner. Part of the problem is that a few weeks after I signed lease, the building changed property management companies. So the e-mail I sent when I first moved in was ignored by the old company. And then the whole "oops, we don't use that addy anymore" bullshit. So we shall see what happens this week.
Ha! And that "frontdesk@[company].com" addy is **STILL** on the website in the tenant page, the place to e-mail Maintenance Request Forms to! @@ If only I didn't like the apartment, this would be easier. But it's a cute place, and rather convenient.

Document all this stuff in case things get worse. It may seem dealable now but there may come a time when it isn't and you'll want to document bad faith dealings.
