It's really windy out today. The landlord sent someone with a leaf blower to clean up the leaves in the yard. It's accomplishing fucking nothing. I'm going to have to listen to that leaf blower all day at this rate.

It was insanely windy yesterday (so much so that my car door slammed on my leg at one point and nearly broke it), and we saw this idiot ass woman outside washing her car. It was literally like....50 MPH gusts and ended up raining last night, and she was out there washing her car. Good grief.

Oh, the upstairs of your house has corners in it?

rex.

Yes. We douse them with water every few hours to prevent fires like all responsible homeowners do. Now if I could just figure out why they're getting all moldy.

Hahaha, I don't know why, but that strikes me as super hilarious.

I can't give it away to the Rescue Mission or Salvation Army because she and her mom shop there all the time.

Bort - they could really use the sundae dishes down at the domestic violence shelter.

Unfortunately, that's Jessie's mom's favorite restaurant.

The domestic violence center hasn't been joyful since they stopped serving popcorn at movie night. Step it up, Bort.

Ellie II · « **Reply #57 on:** November 14, 2011, 02:07:28 PM »

Bort, just man up and beat the shit out of your wife and then rape some children.

your_mother · « **Reply #58 on:** November 14, 2011, 02:09:58 PM »

And then set your house on fire to take care of all that shit wasting away in your basement.

Leaving on lights, I get. It's just people being careless. But leaving on a tv? That's weird.

I'm the lightswitch nazi in our house. Adam likes to leave every light in the house on in the evenings. I'm resisting the urge to totally be my mom and be like, "Good thing our dirty laundry can see that stack of boxes!"

Say it! I can't understand the point of a) wasting electricity (which in turn wreaks havoc on the environment) and b) paying shitloads of money for the dubious pleasure of wreaking havoc on the environment and being able to proclaim to the world, "Hey, look at me, I'm so rich I can afford to throw away money on something completely pointless like lighting rooms that nobody is using!"

Besides, it's your birthday, you can get away with saying anything today!

My biggest "homesome" right now is that the appliances (refrigerator and stove) in my place are crazy old and inefficient, which makes my bills run sort of high.

I tried looking up whether or not there was a Landlord Tenant Law about age of appliances, but all I've found is that they must be in working order, which they are.

Has anyone asked their landlord for new appliances? I'm unsure if I should ask or not...

Yeah, I have the same problem. I'm sure the fridge uses a large part of the electricity I consume, but as long as it keeps things cold, I doubt the landlord is going to be too keen on replacing it.

When I owned my own place and replaced the old fridge with a new one, I instantly shaved my electric bill by about 25%.

jettrocks · « **Reply #67 on:** November 14, 2011, 08:25:30 PM »

one perk of my place is that the stove is new since i moved in and the fridge was bought just before. new shit!

in every other way, pretty much, larry's place is better.

Adam puts up with a lot of nagging during the day, so I try to take it easy on him.

Welch, it doesn't hurt to ask. Especially if you do research beforehand and be all, "these are some affordable energy-efficient models I found," so the landlord doesn't even have to do much work.

rex · « **Reply #70 on:** November 14, 2011, 09:36:47 PM »

A good way to get rid of old appliances is to burn your house down. Maybe try that if you guys hate having things so much.

It burned down.

that happened to me once. i ended up living in a hotel for awhile and getting with the desk girl, so it all worked out in the end.

I'm getting a new AC unit installed today. That's costing me around $2000. And the other day, my girl chased a squirrel out of our house, so we have that new fun to deal with.

Maybe you could find a way to break the fridge in an inconspicuous manner.
