THAT's not good. Eat an Orange tree or something.

Horses don't go in the house. Anything with the potential to be in the house is off limits. An outside dog or cat are not permitted simply because they could be brought inside during cold weather and then I'm screwed. I'm told by a guy who owns several rentals that you can screen out smokers. He's a real "by the books" kind of guy. I trust his judgement.

You know? I trust you guys here, but I am really worried that people are going to have access to my info like that. people in general suck. And it's even worse that I gain nothing from this. I put all my stuff out there and get no rent money. Not that I've broached that subject with my dad yet. He's been too "sick" for the past 2 weeks.

Kristin Chenoweth looked amazing last night:

Why you gotta be hating on KC?!? She could be standing right next to us, and we wouldn't even realize it!

I don't like Christoph Waltz.

I've concluded that I'm pretty good at "accidentally" killing threads in the politics forum. I post, then others stop posting.

This day needs more K-ness.

he's prob busy with kedryn.

Good thing about the kid having stomach flu: Since I no longer need to get up at 5.30 tomorrow morning, I can watch Game of Thrones with good conscience.
It hasn't been a good night though... he has been throwing up intermittently all night. I hope he feels better tomorrow.

Here's adding my good wishes, Francisco. Also, I agree with Tyro. Having to do without a personal laptop or PC is tough. Here's hoping that you can find a public library that allows you to stay in touch - and maybe even help you find a better-paying job. Hang in there, olde chum.

I'll just put this here.....

Equilibrium is still a pretty great action movie 10 years later. Mindblowing that it didn't really get a theatrical release in the US.

I know.

That sucks. Sick kids are awful.

It's been 13 hours since his last incident, and he has been able to keep the food down. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Given all of the effort that you're putting forth, I wouldn't resign myself to getting nothing for all of it. Even your old man should agree that at minimum you need to cover your own expenses from the rent. I realize that you haven't had that talk yet but don't sell yourself short.

If anything, I might even present it to your dad as a "done deal." In other words, your fee is part of the package. If your dad doesn't like it, then gently state that he should start looking for a full-time property manager. Be sure to stand up for yourself, olde chum. That's what Macaque would do.

Here's hoping that your son gets better. At home, once one kid brings sickness it's a sure thing that it starts spreading like a local epidemic. Good luck, olde chum. It really does suck, but it all comes as part of the parenthood job description...
