Life at home

The retard I rent to at the other place who can't change a lightbulb apparently has left burners on the gas stove on a couple times over the last two weeks.

geez..... hope you have home insurance.

Slappy, have you thought about giving these potential tenants an IQ test before they sign the lease?

Or a hands-on aptitude test.

"Hey stupid. Try to change this lightbulb."

Speaking about aptitude tests: my nephew seems to be a genius!

It's his second week at school. He goes to school for talented kids, since he could read fluently since he was 4, spoke English fluently, knew basic adding, subtracting.... Now they're running tests at school to evaluate each kid's level of development and he scored highest in all subjects! My sister, the proud (single) mother, floated away from the parent teacher conference on a cloud.

How would you rate his social development Dag?

friends and such? he's fine, always has been. and girls like him, he's very empathic little boy, calm and funny.

He's a good, sharp, energetic kid.

Keep him away from Agrote.

I have a cursed room at my rental place. One guy reserved the room for 9/1, then backed out last minute because Harvard(where he's working) supposedly got him a place just as cheap/cheaper in Harvard Sq.

Immediately find someone else, who schedules a move in date for 9/15. He calls this morning to back out, because he found out he's moving to the west coast in a couple of months. He paid his first month's rent(1/2 month) as a deposit, and had the balls to ask for it back, or at least partial.

I told him if I find someone before 10/1, I'll refund a prorated portion to him. Little white lie. September was already paid for by Harvard guy, the second guy's $300 is income for my wasted time. Maybe I can find someone to move in before 10/1, and get another prorated portion for Setember.

It's a lot of work, posting ads on Craigslist twice a day, then making time out of my schedule to show places to people who are constantly late, or like one jackass, just completely blow you off.

It's hard being The Man.

No offense, littlek, but this thread has gotten kind of boring. Can't you get your old roommate #3 back? I demand my fair share of entertainment!

Thomas, he's in Denmark, which is much closer to you than to us. I propose that he moves in with you for a few months. We'll be able to offer expert advice.

Nononono, not that kind of entertainment. I was thinking more along the lines of a "thank gawd this somebody else's problem" kind of entertainment.

<grin>

This thread blows now!!!!!

Somebody needs to do something.

Stab a pair of her panties to her door with an old rust butcher knife and act like you have no idea.

That ought to liven $hit up around here.

Here ya go. The little **********'s last check to me for utilities didn't go through. I am now hoping I don't bounce any checks of my own.

It's gonna get very entertaining when you start your "Adjusting to Life as a Texan" thread, Thomas. I can't wait!

After being born in Texas, I grew up in California, to return at age 14, in 1957. I did not adjust completely to life in Texas, as yet.

Is there life in Texas? Existence to be sure.

Thanks littlek. That's better!
