Daughter Named September?
Comments (72)Yeah I've heard of lots of Doc's with weird names; you can actually find lists of them on the web...Doctor Names. Imagine there's even a Dr Frankenstein! If I were going to be a doctor, I certainly would change my name to something like Dr Easy or Dr Happy! http://izismile.com/2011/07/07/most_unfortunate_doctors_names_20_pics.html...See MoreI made a Baby Changing Table for DD#1 (pics)
Comments (41)Gorgeous piece Tom!! You should be very proud-I'm sure it will be treasured! Can I give you a tip? We have a dresser that has been passed down the generations. We got name plates engraved with the babies name and birthday and lined them up in order of use on the inside of one door. My daughters are numbers 6 and 7! 3 generations and hopefully my girls can use it one day and continue the tradition! Might be nice if you could do something like that too?...See Moreomg! look what my dd did in 4 hours!!
Comments (26)Thank you all so much for the great comments. She was pretty excited when she checked the computer today and saw how many people commented. I was thrilled when she said... "We should make this an every friday night thing" It was so much fun, but it's gonna cost me a fortune as fast as she works. We went to the dollar store today and spent $40 on jewelry, and she is asking for some differnt colored tiles online tonight. I have created a monster!!ahahhaa We grouted tonight, and still need to clean them up. There's a bunch of glue to scrape still. She did a different color grout on each one. I'll post them here in a few days, she wants to add some stuff and paint some things. Thanks again everyone! Hazie...See MoreDD being harassed by roomates-what's your opinion? (Long)
Comments (28)Thank you all for your responses, I couldn't get back on until this morning to reply. I'll hopefully address some very good questions you have all asked. Firstly, the landlady had phoned DD, but as she was leaving for work, she gave permission for the landlady to enter their house and leave the envelope on the kitchen counter. DD thought it would contain one total cheque, or 4 seperate ones, but she found a legal size envelope containing a spread sheet showing a breakdown of the usage and cost of the utilities covering their May to May lease of last year, and four letter sized envelopes inside, with each girl's names and the (same) amount of cash written on each one. The lease agreement for the flat was one contract, signed by all four girls. It stated that the rental fee was X amount per month and the utilities fee was X amount per month, making the amount owed each month a total of that combined figure. The landlady verbally offered to rebate the girls at the end of the yearly lease if her utilities invoices came to less, because she had made some major energy savings changes in the house and didn't know how well these changes would actually affect the costs each month. Kudos to her, she kept her word and rebated them the overcharge to the penny. My DD has a friend who just passed the Bar, and after she told him what was happening, he explained that their lease agreement makes all the girls liable to pay the amount they signed for, regardless of some ending up leaving for the summer. He basically told DD that what her roomates are trying to do amounts to extortion, because they are not entitled to any portion of DD's rebate money, just because she stayed in town for the summer while they left. Of course, DD did not mention that in her email, because she knows these are law abiding girls who in their hearts just think they should get back more of a refund since they aren't there to use any utilities for the summer. DD works all day and is away every second weekend for her job, so being away much more often in the summer than she was during the school term, she's using even less than the quarter portion of her 'allotment', which was already a huge overcharge. However, her lawyer friend said that's a moot point because lease agreements operate a "you lose your share if you're not there" mentality, meaning a tenant isn't entitled to random discounts throughout the year when they come and go, using less utilities. He said the same applies in the summer months if it's a year lease, so tenants who wanted to be absent for extended periods of time should have sublet their room to defer their costs to someone else while they're away, since it was not prohibited in their lease. DD has since talked to the landlady, who feels badly about the trouble DD is having. I was even more shocked that she risked leaving cash when I found out she's a longtime landlady who rents out more than 30 houses in that university town! However, she agreed to take back the cash and replace it with 4 cheques, so she'll have the cancelled cheques as her receipt, and so that DD won't be accused if the money got stolen. DD has decided she will send out one final email if any more nasty ones are forthcoming. She plans to write "I had assumed that since we all realized we still had to pay our same utility fee during times we were away and didn't use them (example, when 3 of us went home for 2 weeks at Christmas) that likewise, you would realize any rebate would be divided equally. I apologize for my incorrect assumption, but I just didn't realize any of you assumed differently. If I had somehow gone OVER my portion of the utility fee for the summer months, I certainly would have paid the difference, since none of you were here. However, as I still used less than one quarter of our utility allotment, I am entitled to receive the same amount of rebate. I'm sorry you see things differently at this time, however I have enjoyed wonderful times living together and wish you all the best."...See Moreamicus
