my last baby started school today..can't stop the tears!
Comments (24)Lynn, Thanks but didn't I just describe most of us who urge our kids to conquer their fears, handle their lives and step up to take their place in this world? I think Max seriously wanted to marry me when he was very young. Now? Not so much. LOL! Max's job is new. He gets his first paycheck tomorrow. He's officially off the dole but he is still learning about this little concept. Phone call earlier this week: (Setting: After his first day of school) "School is great. I really like my classes.", "That's great, Max!" "Well, I have an opportunity to work tonight but I'm not scheduled and they won't hold it against me, so I'm not going in." (My wheels start to spin) "Max, it would look really good if you went in." "Yes, and I'm willing to work on Mondays but they need to schedule me." Blah, blah, blah about books he needs to buy, etc. and then: "Do you think you could send me about $70. this week so I have a little extra money?" (my brain "!!!!!!!!!!", but again, joyfully) "Hmm, you are saying you need extra money but you don't want to work extra? Papa works extra to provide you with *your* extra. Maybe you should let Papa have a little time off and you can work in his place." Utter silence. Joyfully, I said: "Is there anything else? I'm just running to the store." "No, that is it." "OK. I love you and am so happy you like your classes. Call soon!" "I love you too and I will." Hey, I may have fallen off the potato truck last night but I was awake all night....See MoreI can't stop the tears!
Comments (59)Listen to Wildchild. You need to clarify your legal rights, but even in the most landlord-friendly states, a landlord can't evict without proper written notice, and a tenant can make things very difficult for the landlord. Have you seen an attorney? I'll bet there's a legal aid in your city that could help. I agree with Wildchild, the pets aren't the issue, so don't treat them as if they were. I'd spend the weekend gathering up documents you'll need. Get your original lease, if you have it, and any subsequent leases. Sit down with a piece of paper and summarize your dealings with this landlord. When did you move in, when was the rent increased, did you ever have discussions about the pets before this, and so on. Then, on Monday, go talk to an attorney. I'll tell you, if you lived in Massachusetts, you could drag this out for six months with very little problem. I know that Massachusetts is very tenant-friendly, so you might not get as much time in your state, but don't make it easy for her. Don't just up and move out when she tells you to, unless she's crossed every T and dotted every I....See MoreMaking the game room a "reading room"
Comments (35)so funny, I came here to post the same pic as NSM did above that I saw on the Perfect Home thread. I really prefer this look over a previous one posted; I think it isn't as claustrophobic or something, because there is no bridge of books overhead.... the lamps are in a better position and don't look as if you might bump them with your head. That said...I guess because of the window placement, this bridge of books works, I think. Also from Cote de Texas post. I love the idea of lounging right next to the window, reading a book, with the breeze wafting over me. I also like how the bookcase turns the corner, kind of enveloping you, but still has an open feeling....See MoreWhat would y'all use for decor for a gaming/tv/reading room?
Comments (7)Yes Gaming Chairs. I can't post any pictures because for the future. I've got to be prepared. The shelves are for storing books. I can tell what i have in the room. I have a black flat screen tv. Two white shelves from Ikea. The stand the tv is on is white and touches the two shelves. I may be able to put a photo. Really the purpose of this thread is to get ideas for the future so give me some ideas. More Qs: What gaming chairs would you recommend? This is the model of the shelves i have. __________________________________________________________ Will an Ivy of some kind look good?
