Sweetbabygirl | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 12:56 pm     I'm not too grouchy right now, but wanted to share something that happened in the doctor's office the other day. So I'm gimping to a chair to sit down, and right by the chair is an overstuffed doll that apparently has some stupid Christmas saying whenever you move. So, each time I'm trying to get comfortable, I have to hear "Jingle Bells" and the doll saying "Come on in, it's cold out there." or "Merry Christmas!"....I so wanted to stab the stuffing out of that mofo! Okay. So I sit in another chair, 'cause that doll was pissing me off big time when who comes in the office? An elderly husband and wife and their caretaker....OMG, THESE PEOPLE WERE TALKING NON-FRIGGIN'-STOP, DAMN!! Talkin' bout this, talkin' bout that...oh, oh, and they LOVED the Christmas doll, and purposefully moved so that the doll could talk!! Now I'm sitting in the chair silently conjuring up ways to permanently silence the Yappy Family, when the caretaker notices the book I'm about to read. "Tupac, huh?", she asks....never mind the fact that his name is emblazoned big as day on both sides of the cover! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! (I don't do sick or pain well, and when it happens to me, all I want it PEACE AND QUIET!!) <gimps out of folder> |
Fanny | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 01:02 pm     <runs after SBG before she can escape from folder, illegally chop blocks her> |
Sweetbabygirl | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 01:10 pm     If I could defend myself Fanny, it'd be all over for you....but until then, OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! |
Fanny | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 01:19 pm     SBG, I'm not dumb enough to take you on when you're at your best! You'd whip my hiney! LOL |
Goddessatlaw | Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 04:41 am     So some of you may remember last year at this time I was grousing about Colossus sweeping me off to the Biltmore West (Scottsdale, AZ) for Christmas. Because I'm an ungrateful like that. Well, this year I have to complain, too - I am physically destroyed right now from trial at the beginning of the week, followed by a 12-hour bareknuckled fight yesterday that was supposed to be a fast and polite deposition. The only sleep I've gotten was last night when I didn't so much sleep as slip into a coma. The boy had to take me upstairs and tuck me in because I couldn't even negotiate the stairs or the lightswitch on my own. This morning's highlight is a raging stress headache. And what do we have on the plate? A seven-hour drive to Asheville, N.C. to go to the Biltmore for Christmas. Colossus says it's the anniversary of our Biltmore West trip and we MUST do the real Biltmore this Christmas. Oh, the hell of it all. Can someone intervene and stop the abuse? Am I out here all alone? Can anyone else see the parallels to Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown? Is anybody there? Does anybody care? |
Fruitbat | Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 05:25 am     ROLF! I care. Crack is whack. No wait. That doesn't fit. hmmmmmm lemme see here. I think you will have to go with kidnapping and it will be across state lines so that is good. I am going to email Diane Sawyer right now. I will be back in touch. |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 05:31 am     I need some advice, please. My daughters landlord won't let us out of the lease, which I can understand, she is responsible to sublet, which I can understand. BUT, since she moved in he has not held his end of the bargain up. The place was supposed to be cleaned, it wasn't, repairs were supposed to be made that didn't get done. No smoke detector which she has been hounding him for since she moved in in September. We bought one and a fire extinguisher which he refuses to reimburse her for, it's coming with us. The door on her bedroom can't be closed because if you do someone has to let you out, big fire hazard I'd say. Anyway my point is how can she sublet when the apartment isn't up to code because it is law that there must be fire detectors. Believe me this was the best student apartment left when we went looking. I called the tenacy board and we have to have a letter delivered asking for the repairs and if he doesn't respond in a week they will send him a letter. Here's what I need help with. Should I just sublet and let the problems be his, am I responsible? Should I call the fire Marshall or threaten to? Is it legal to kill a scumbag slumlord who lives off the backs of college students? What I am thinking of doing is having her close out the account, dropping of the key and telling him to frick off and take us to court like he threatened. We have had her take video of the apartment from top to bottom point out no detectors and the repairs that haven't be fixed. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 06:12 am     Laws about this vary with each state. A lawyer will come along and give you the info you need to persue this legally if you choose that route. I have mediated in the MA court system between landlords and tennants. It is a process that can be time consuming and nerve wracking. Personally, I would sublet and move on. It is not worth the battle. He will take you to court and most likely win. You signed a lease and are bound to that contract. You have seperate issues here. Just tell the subletter about the saftey problems so they can get their own extinguiser and smoke alarm. Students lived there before your daughter and will for a long time to come. Not good but it happens everywhere. Pretty typical. |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 07:48 am     LL, sounds like a bad situation (Fruitbat, LL is in Canada). College slumlords are among the worst violators and always have been. I rented from a notorious one in Champaign, IL in the late '60's and the same abuses were going on then. They figure college kids are naive and they can just take advantage of them, and they are right. That said, however, I can answer your question number three. Yes, it is still illegal to kill them no matter how much they richly deserve it. I have also found it is one of life's little odd quirks that eventually the Lord takes care of these people, just as he does with criminals who keep getting away with it. I am not being religious here, just pragmatic from what I have observed of life. They live nasty lives that you wouldn't envy, and 53 seems to be about the top of their life expectancy.

Luvmyjrt | Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 09:17 am     GAL - I live in Asheville about 5 miles from the Biltmore Estate. It's cold here but we are due to get some snow this weekend! It's a great trip and the Estate is awe inspiring. Have fun and let me know if you need some things to do around here! |
Ladytex | Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 09:52 am     I can't believe that they made me do physical labor today! We just finished totally moving a lab of 24 computers from one end of the junior high to the total opposite end, computers, printers, tables, chairs, etc. Phew, I'm tired, I think I need to go home now ... |
Hermione69 | Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 11:20 am     Oh yuck, Ladytex! Be careful! A few years I threw my back out moving computers in the library and the pain traveled all the way down my left leg via the sciata nerve. I was in so much pain that I was lying on the floor crying. I couldn't walk. I'm grouchy because I just found out some disheartening information about someone I am fond of. I'm grouchy because I have another month of this stupid TB medicine and one of the side effects is extreme fatigue and I'm tired of being tired! I'm grouchy because I am broke. I'm grouchy because I have PMS. Shall I go on? |

Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 10:30 am     Well, here's what I accomplished all before 8:00 a.m.: threw up, had a fight with Colossus, and got in a car wreck. I'm wondering whether things could possibly get worse (please cross all your body parts - I haven't gotten the estimate on my car yet - thankfully it was just me in the accident), or whether things are on an upward slant as of now. Sigh. |
