Kate, I swear your landlord must be perpetually stoned.
It's really the most likely explanation, isn't it?
Man, now I want some pumpkin muffins.

Kate, did you look into local landlord/tenant law before you withheld that portion of the rent? Generally, it's not allowed unless the repairs are needed make the place habitable.

Heh. If only *we* were perpetually stoned, it would be so much easier to deal with him!

I had pumpkin muffins yesterday. I highly recommend adding butterscotch chips in the batter. So yum.
We're still in the recovery room. Grace has recovered. But we're all bored. I'm ready for her room assignment already.

Sparky, we didn't -- and I hope we don't regret it. M just looked into whether or not he could evict us, and he needs to provide us with written notification of the problem and give us 30 days to fix it first, so of course we'd just pay up if it came to that. Eek. Mostly we were just hoping it would light a fire under his ass, but that clearly has not happened.
Regardless, we are moving out in July, so we won't have to deal with him much longer.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Lisah, that was me. My sister got me to try it and I've been been getting email updates. So far I haven't actually shopped yet.
