Life at home

And I misused "your." We've all our faults, major or minor, and some of which are in fact virtues.

The lasses in the show told the landlord that the lad was a poofter so that he could live in the apartment.

Ah..
so.....

that really oughtta be treated before it gets infected...

PATIO!!!!!

Thanks for the humor patio and region. Good to chuckle over this.

I haven't emailed The Irish guy yet. Now I am an ass too.

One more option on the table at the moment. She's coming in less than three hours. I don't know if the One Who Is Moving even knows she's coming (she'd have cleaned up her room). Not a soul has cleaned a speck since last week (when I did it).

I know all this is drama (as Pdawg pointed out a while back) and I know I am being a pain. But, honestly, work is a mess right now, too, and I want home to be peaceful which it clearly is not. Not only has this housemate thing been going on for weeks (to my mind unnecessarily), but a water pipe from our house to the street was just reworked and all our taps had mud spewing out of them. I have some weird allergy to dirt so I stood there for 10 minutes last night, letting the shower run, wondering if I should just skip the shower. I didn't skip the shower and now my face as all lumpy.

Plagues of MUD?


Good grief.

Hope the one coming shortly is the ONE.

Well, not so much a plague as a flushing. The water was opaque and dark brown and gritty, but it wasn't slow-moving.

I do too, Dlowan - she's an acceptable age to both of us.

Why am I not surprised?

You could move in with me, you know -- my apartment hasn't had a thorough cleaning since I moved in ....

To be honest, I'm not that keen on cleaning. And Moving One cleans as much than or more than I do, regularly. Young One has so far cleaned (sort of) the kitchen (only) twice in almost 3 months.

I just think we can use all primping we can spare to do around the place. What's it been.... 9 people have come to see the place over three (or so) weeks - only one has said they wanted it. For some reason people seem to be a bit more picky at this middle-lease point and I don't know why. Our stats are usually more like 1:3, not 1:9.

Dead physicist walking!

Bummer -- well, it was worth a try. (And don't you listen to dlowan!)


If that's what you think, I defer to your judgment. My smartass remarks notwithstanding, I know next to nothing about flat-sharing-community dynamics or presenting an apartment. So I'll shut up now and just cross my fingers for you.

Now I am just annoyed. Oh joy, her friends are here. They are talking, laughing, and playing the ringtones all at the same time. I wonder if they'll be staying through the showing of the apartment.

You and I are different. I would express my irritation, perhaps or perhaps not making things worse. I sound ferocious, but by and large the people I've lived with have been thoughtful more often than not, and it's rarely come to real growling. But I would probably growl at this.

Well, at least it's not the right phase of the moon for the sacrifices.

Her friends had settled down by the time Swiss woman came to see the place. She's great. I hope she agrees to live with us.

Whew..

Not sure you should sublet to furriners. I see "He was very quiet and clean, kept to himself. I had no idea he was plotting a coupe d'etat, though in retrospect his putting up a deadbolt on the bedroom door and decorating his walls in detailed topographical maps of missile-silo locations may have been cause for alarm."


(Joke, of course. McVeigh was as Amurrican as Upple Pie.)






Mebbe you should just pick up and move to a nice non-neurotic midwestern town full of regular arborist and meth dealing folk.

Right. Dag's a furriner, and look how that turned out.

She moved. To some country no one's ever heard of to do God-knows-what.

I'm telling you, them furriners is bad news.
