Star Rant, The Empire Strikes Wack

[SAT 9,609]

At least your husband was ready to make an offer

Are you going back to CT?

Are you going back to CT?

Tuesday, now I am painting and cursing icky people who painted over their vents and who got dust and cat fur in between the glass on the oven. Eww. I have such an allergy headache.

[SAT 9,609]

just buy new vents

and new oven

[N-o-l-a 7,167]

Not a matter of buying new vents, but rather that the ducts probably haven't been cleaned in 20 years. I am debating getting a new oven.

[Ontarkie 13,979]

That is something I found weird here, that ppl left the appliances.

[N-o-l-a 7,167]

Yeah, that isn't normal in Denmark either. However, they took the washer and dryer, which is irritating. I don't like having to buy and hookup new appliances right away. I wonder if it is because it varies house to house whether there are gas or electric hookups?

it scared the carp out of me.

You swallowed a mature goldfish?

Good evening!

No, it's NOT, oj nie -- only 2 bonus points for all my magnificent prose, oj huh? Bad Asia!

Oh boo! Sorry Niki

Sorry, Niki-Bone, but keep up the momentum, si ma'am.

And new cat fur, miu man.

1. Not a matter of buying new vents, but rather that the ducts probably haven't been cleaned in 20 years.

2. I am debating getting a new oven.

1. You're allowed to vent here, and it's good that you're not ducting out of the cleaning, si and si and no ma'am.

2. Don't you first have to bate before you can debate, huh ma'am?

People typically leave the stove. If they leave the refrigerator, it's a selling-point. If they leave the warsher & dryer, it's because the machines are not worth it or the sellers were too cheap to move them. Better to get what you want, either new or (my recommendation) reconditioned. Reconditioned Kenmore 80 Series dryer is by far the best machine that I've ever had, and at less than half the price of a new one, $ee and whee man.

Thread-Laundress report:

Shrewd planning and massive experience enabled the combining of Many loads into merely <Many, whee man. All were completed without incident, except further back-strain, ouch man. It is noted that our imbursement for Thread-Laundressing is deeply in arrears, grrr man: we are owed the whopping sum of $Many, + interest, late fees, and punitive damages, see man.

We haven't seen X-Man in this thread, no X no man.

so, something creepy happened today. i was cooking in the kitchen and heard a key turn and the front door open. if you saw our apartment layout when i linked it last, the kitchen is really near to the front door, connected by a tiny 9 by 9 dining area. at first i thought, j's home early...like 3 hours early! then i looked up and saw a stranger inside our apartment.

i think he might have been hearing impaired because his enunciation was a little off and he kept repeating his question even after i answered (he kept asking "repair...where's your father?" and i kept replying "my father doesn't live here...i think you have the wrong house.") finally he seemed to understand what i was saying and pointed to the units behind us and sort of gestured that he would try there, and left. he was inside the house, with his hand on the front door, for like 3 minutes.

i am now really freaked out and don't want to be alone at home tomorrow. j says he will call the management office to get the locks changed and possibly install a deadbolt/chain thing. the whole thing is so weird - why did he have a key, why is he asking for my father (?!), how did he get the unit number wrong if he really was there to do repairs...i didn't recognise the guy as one of the two usual maintenance guys who work for the apartment complex but we will also check if he's a new staff, just in case.

Morning!

No house.

Bummer

[Asia 2,491]

2???

It was much more Many!

[Asia 2,491]

so, something creepy happened today.

I'd freak out too!!!

Do all the units have the same keys???

That would be really weird and isn't it against the law or something?
