Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Happy birthday, Drew!

Trust my rage

The tornadoes were yesterday? I'm sort of in news blackout at my SILs wedding in Naples, FL, but I saw on FB that the Lowe's up the roAd from where I used to live in Sanford was destroyed.

The weddIng yesterday was amazing. If you are going to spend way too much, this is how to do it. We spent four hours on the beach yesterday and then had the most casual wedding ever on the hotel lawn. I'm just sad I forgot my great camera because I've seen some awesome pictures.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Fuckity. My landlady sent me an email this morning letting me know that at the end of May my rent is going up $25 (knew that, no big) and that I have to sign a new year lease (suspected, not happy about at all). I love this house, I love the location, and don't want to live anywhere else here. Nor do I want to move twice in a shortish period. But I don't have a job in NOLA or a significant financial cushion built up to allow me to move without one.

Can you negotiate a 6 month lease?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Or can you ask for a clause that lets you out of leasein case of unemployment or a new job more than 50 miles from current home? In this economy that would be protection for the landlord as well as the tenant, a good idea even if you were not looking to move. Some apartment leases have this as a standard clause. And you can just say that in this economy nobody can guarantee their job is secure and that if, God forbid, the worst happens you will have to take a new job where you can get it.

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.

smonster, good luck with negotiating for a workable solution for you and your landlady.

Fredpete, much kitty~ma for Victor.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll counteroffer a six-month lease and see what she says. She knows I want to move to New Orleans - we are friends, though not close. I don't know that she'd be amenable to such a clause, but I can try.

It's certainly lighting a fire under my ass.

eta much, much kitty~ma to Fred Pete and Hubs. Get better, wee Victor!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

~ma for Victor! Poor kitty, get better.
