Good lord Toddson! Where do you live again, DC?
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

That is terrible, Toddson! I hope you find a much better and yet affordable living space than you expect.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh Toddson, how awful. I'm so sorry, and I hope something wonderful turns up, just made for you.

Our wings are not tired.
Todd, your apartment sounds like much in DC. I hope you have a much better 2020.

Toddson, contact the building inspector. They can fine the landlord for not doing repairs. Not sure if there is a time limit on that, though. Depends on your city code, I suspect. You might also be able to withhold rent until it's fixed. I went through something like that in Ann Arbor years ago and the building inspector gave really good advice.

Yeah and DC has pretty strong renters laws—there ought to be some folks out there who can help you at least know what all your rights are. Especially if you're considered a senior (I don't know how old you are but sometimes that designation starts at random ages for different things!)

They fixed the leak, pulled down the plaster that was in the process of coming down and painters arrive Friday. So they're doing all right. Thanks for the support.

Glad to hear that, Toddson!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I've started getting cards - not sure if part of the exchange (I did not sign up) or not, but Thank you dcp and Calli.
I love us.
I am sending out things sporadically. I had things for some of you that I am taking the holiday card situation and me moving as impetus to finally mail them out.
