I need to get dressed and get to campus. It's 18 degrees outside. I so don't want to go out anywhere.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Andi is on to something.
In the US in various communities, you can sequester part of the rent you pay to make necessary repairs. It can be more trouble than its worth, but if you demonstrate that you had to make the repairs, got a few estimates and took the $$ out of rent, boom.

Our wings are not tired.
Speaking of rum, last night was the Pompano Beach boat parade. Yes, on Sunday night apparently to not compete with the Saturday night parade in Fort Lauderdale. Anyway, the important part of this event was sitting on the deck with my family drinking egg nog with rum watching the boats go by. We didn't participate because they require boat insurance; maybe next year.
My neighbors had their chairs up on the roof to watch, but it seemed a better plan to enjoy the egg nog and boats without ladders being in the mix.

Shir, having just gotten out of a bad landlord situation, I hate that you have to put up with that bullshit. Find out what the laws are protecting tenants, if any, and put everything in writing.
Back is hurting again. Oy.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
{{{Matt and beth}} I am so sorry.
{{Pix and ND}} You both were very lucky to have Byron and he was very lucky to have y'all. Peace and love to you all.

Thanks, Andi. The plumbers are here now, at least.

I went to look at two houses today with our real estate agent. Nothing good. It's amazing how they can make crap sound good. It's also amazing how much they want for crap. Now, I an going to do as much Christmas shopping as possible and then look at more houses tonight.
