Comments (3)I was fortunate enough to live for a short time in a neighborhood where every other family was Jewish. It was a strange and happy experience discovering the differences. We were the only family that decorated for Halloween! At Easter the neighbors children came over and asked to make Easter eggs. At Christmas, my kids were aggravated they had only one day for presents and their friends had eight days. About half of the houses showed off Christmas trees in a front window behind a menorah.

Comments (59)I scored a 4, which I was pretty proud of. My errors were in the blue/ greens. Interesting so many really acute posters had problems in this area. My 17 year old dd scored a perfect 0. Now she is holding it against me, because her color vision is so much more perfect than mine! She wants to make all future decorating decisions, but I say no, because I have learned, not through formal training but through experience, how to work with color. I've always felt I had above average color perception. If colors in a room are off, it actually makes me feel ill. I can mix things up, and it may take a while to find the right balance, but I always come up with something pleasing....See MoreQuestion for landlords about cleaning after tenant vacates
Comments (46)There are some inaccurate comments here. Dirt and damage are NOT ordinary wear and tear (which would be something like a smudge behind the sofa on the wall). Your tenant is required to deliver the premises back to you in the same condition in which they were delivered, absent "ordinary wear and tear". Again Dirt and Damage are NOT ordinary wear and tear. Hire a cleaner, have the cleaner put the place in appropriate rent-ready condition, and deduct the cost from the security deposit. Also deduct the cost of any repairs necessary. In some states you cannot deduct the cost of your own time. I don't clean after tenants anymore. That burden is on them. I gave them a white-glove clean property, and they will pay to deliver one back to me, if they fail to do so. You are required to make a written accounting of the security deposit within your state limits - most are 30 days. Some are 45 days. Be sure you do this, as the tenant can recover treble damages from you in some states if you fail to do so. You can most definitely disallow smokers and pet owners in your property. They are not protected classes. Charge every dime it take to put the premises back in order and never allow smokers and pet owners, unless you don't mind extra damage. If you do allow pet owners, maybe one older dog won't do that much damage. I have allowed 2 different 8 year old dogs that were long-term pets with good references over the years. No puppies EVER. No replacement dogs. No smoking ever....See MoreShopping at Target every day this week, anyone else?
Comments (307)I still maintain that all these "laws" are a backlash to legislation passed by several states (including mine) which allow anyone to claim they are a transgendered person and then to use the bathroom or locker room they prefer, because of how they "feel" inside. I have no fear of transgendered individuals and as it has been pointed out, there have probably been times when I've shared a bathroom with people who are trans - the statistics are quite low, but I live in a community quite accepting to LGBT people and I believe there is a larger than average community here. My objection is to the open ended type of laws that would allow any man with perverted/voyeuristic purposes to be allowed access into women's facilities - simply by saying he "feels" like a woman inside. The laws, as written, provide no protection from that type of behavior. Of course, anything already illegal, like assault, is still illegal but hanging out to get an eyeful (how do you prove voyeurism in a case like this), or maybe even exposing himself is going to be much more difficult to prosecute, thus prevent. I've said before, I don't have a solution. Everyone should have the right to relieve themselves, but laws which inadvertently (because of their wording) allow any man into women's facilities, simply on their own word that they feel female inside is not the right way to go about providing a safe for all solution....See Moresushipup1
