le_n, I am happy to announce that the rhubarb crumble is ::kisses fingertips:: Mwah! I poured a little half and half (in lieu of not having any ice cream) over it and it is tasty.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'd think that if you can provide proof of the check being written and sent to an address she provided that was established as not valid, it would provide some leverage on your part.
Yeah, Nora, if she provided an incorrect address, that isn't your fault. Man, crazy tenants! I've been thinking of buying the duplex next to me, but the possibility of crazy tenants makes me quiver with dread.
Sail! Babe, when the story contains "I watched a tornado go by", don't open with "so, this crumble I'm making..." Talk about burying the lede! I almost skimmed past it ("food, okay...") then I saw "tornado" and went "wait, what?" Glad you're okay and nothing bad happened!

But that's my specialty! I tell little stories that are of interest, not report the news. Now, if my car had been swept up and deposited on the top of the state capitol then, yeah, I probably would have led with "My car got stuck on the top of the capitol!!"

“Not dead yet!”
For me, I'm glad the story wound up being about crumble.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Jeepers, Sail! Stay safe.
Sorry the ex-tenant is still a PITA, Nora.
Zen, if you are onsite (renting the other half of the duplex) it's probably easier to manage. I've rented from a landlord that occupied the other half of a shotgun double, and it was a pretty nice arrangement for both of us.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You'd have said, "I was baking some brownies, and trying this new recipe, and then my car was swept away and deposited upon the Capitol. But a passing giant ape got it down for me, and he really appreciated the brownies. I should make more!"

Exactly, when it all shook out it was about the crunchy, chewy yumminess that is crumble.
eta: Hahaha! Yes, that is exactly what I would have written. If I survive it, is it really worth scaring the crap out of everyone to say OMGTORNADOSWOOPEDRIGHTMEOMG. Oh, by the way, I'm fine?

eta aren't pants supposed to look *better* after you iron them? ::sigh::
Huh. Mine never seem to. This is why my iron and I have a strained relationship. The ironing board? We're likethis. The iron, eh. Cold shoulder.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
-t, I own (and live in) one half of the duplex, and my neighbor in the other half will give me a 6% discount on her asking price because we won't have to hire a real estate agent. It's a good deal. I'm just not sure I'm ready to become a landlord again.
She isn't moving until spring, so I have a few months to get my courage up.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
If I survive it, is it really worth scaring the crap out of everyone to say OMGTORNADOSWOOPEDRIGHTMEOMG. Oh, by the way, I'm fine?
Reverse that.
