'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I would suggest people come visit, but of course it is 100+ here, it's just that I never go outside much right now.
Still people are welcome to come hide away from the world in my guest room. There is a cheery tangerine wall and crisp antique cotton sheets and and and mE!! to entertain you a couple of hours each night.
OMG! did I tell y'all?!? Mac's day camp is open July 4th!!! A day off for ONLY ME!! I am going to see if the massage therapist is working.
Y'all should come visit me. It's only 21 C here.
It looks like the only acceptable property to us (the only one we put in an application for) will probably be one that we lease! the realtor liked our application (I guess the murder convictions don't show up on our credit reports after all!) and will be meeting with the owners tomorrow.
Here's a question: the realty agency who is doing the rental wants the deposit in the form of a cashier's check. Can someone tell me why they need that and why I can't send a personal check and have them wait for the check to clear?
I have to pay $12 to do a wire transfer because I will not be in town to provide the cashier's check.
I want to ask, "Siri, where is the closest place it is 75 degrees?"
It's 79 here now. I'm guessing the temp has dropped in Hyde Park, too. This storm is freaky as hell.
Dang, it's 68 degrees in Hamilton and Lebanon. It was 102 earlier.
t edit Wow. Just 10 minutes after I posted this, it's 71 degrees now. That's a 30-degree drop in about an hour. Daaaaang.

I dunno, but the place I moved into in '01 required that. Which sucked, because my bank was closed that day on account of 9/11.
My theory is they're thinking, 'Well, if a prospective tenant can't come up with an immediate payment for moving in, we don't want them."
Unless you're handing them a cashier's check at a branch of your bank, it's not much protection for them. Cashier's checks are really easy to forge these days, which is why they're disappearing.
Whoa, really? I had no idea. What's the more secure thing they should be asking for?
It is in the high 90's here. I went out into it for the first time in a couple of days. The air doesn't stink of smoke, wind must be blowing the right way.
CJ got a call for a missing woman. We got to the scene, the team was gathered up, getting her description and working out search patterns, and while that was going on she was found. This is why I never just drop him off for in town searches. He's glad she got found quickly, but bummed he never got out of the parking lot on the search.
Ginger,
right? that's why I don't understand why, in this day and age, they just don't wait the 2 days for the check to clear.
