[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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Eeek! Nora, can you call them and see what's up?

Tino is here at the playground build. Well, he cut the lumber for the picnic benches.

Measure once, cut twice?

That sucks, Drew.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Drew, I don't know if this is something your doctors are already considering, but when my dad had similar mysterious symptoms that didn't fit the test results, it turned out to be an intestinal adhesion (they actually took out his gall bladder because they were sure that was the problem. It was not). In any case, good luck getting it figured out and healed.

That's really rough, Nora. Maybe check with the police, find out if they have had to visit your property?

These people have been in there a week! However, my neighbors are also jerks. I don't know what to do! Freaking out, I guess.

Talk to your renters, get their side of the story, especially if the neighbors are jerks.

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

Oh, Drew, that really sucks. I hope the doctors find out what's wrong and fix it, quick.

Nora, I feel for you; pretty much the same thing happened to me when I had to play long-distance landlord for my house in Nashville. The tenants, who'd been recommended by a friend of mine, basically trashed the place by the time I found something was wrong. You're lucky, I think, to have neighbors letting you know there's a problem before it gets too bad. Get the tenants' side of the story, of course, but be aware that they may not admit they're doing anything they shouldn't be. You can also contact the PD and try and find out how many times they've gone over there and what they've found (if they'll tell you). Good luck.

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.

Definitely do this, and request a copy of the police report. Also, print out that email and save it. If you have put this rental in the hands of an agency, make sure they have copies. Frequent incidents of this sort are grounds for eviction (at least they were when I worked for an apartment complex in AZ).

Yeah, I called the police, and they confirmed that they came out this morning for domestic disturbance- verbal/yelling. No arrests, and apparently they "kissed and made up."

I'm working on an email right now to get their side and to gently remind them how thin the condo walls are and how close together the building are.

Drew, I'm sorry you don't have answers yet. May they come soon, and the fix for your troubles not be too burdensome.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I hope they figure it out, ND. And that you get a more varied diet this weekend without too much trouble.

Nora, that sucks. I hope they shape up.

ND, have you tried Jamba Juice? Or are the fruit sugars too complex to digest? My thinking being, they are already liquid. But then again, I am not a GI specialist. Just trying to think of something other than rice for you to ingest. {{{ ND }} ( and brackets for Pix too {{{ Pix }}}, can't imagine it's easy for you too).
