Morning Leesuh . . . don't know 'bout you, but we didn't get the snow up here that we were suppose to . . . I was kind of hoping for a 2-hour delay today . . . bummer.

:lol: Mine too! Just who do they think they are???

Suze, I only had two, that guy, and a woman from New Zealand, 'cause really, who wants to come to BI?

After I hadn't logged in for a year they suspended my account.

While I was in Europe I met a crazy Japanese guy that was riding a bike around the world, doing magic tricks to get money for food, and sleeping on couches most of the time. If he couldn't get a couch, he slept in parks or fields.

Mornin', All!

Dear gawd. .. . . a Jess's Polish couch-surfer. .. . ...

and, what if said couch surfer STOLE your things or...or.....or.....THREW WHEAT FLOUR ALL OVER YER KITCHEN????? or....smacked yer with a sausage and some spices?

.... . .Or even walked all along you deck outside, buck nekkid??

...A POLISH sausage, at that. . . . ....

Anything of value I've long since put "someplace safe" and now have absolutely no idea where to find it.

No chance o' those surfers getting their mitts on it. . . . . ..

see, I worry about........human dander and.....greasy hair on me pillows and....filth and......stuff like that..

I'm surprisingly anal and mildly OCD

Yep, and yet living with great big hairy, oft dirty, germ-infested animals is absolutely no problem for us. . .. . . . ...

[blueeyedmanda]

Sillies- I need some advice....something happened yesterday...actually quite a few bad thing but here is the overall one...

I brought home this huge roll of bubble paper from work- bigger than me, two of us lugged into the house. John then left to run to the store for gas in the car so we wouldn't have to go out of our way in the morning. So I was on the phone with my mom and I was standing leaning on our counter and I noticed our sofa had been moved...now we have this sectional so it was just the one end. The odd thing was I know John and I didn't do it..John is really strange about things being straight and nice....So as I looked closer- the coffee table had been moved (you could tell by the imprints in the carpet....) My lighthouse end table was moved and so were the decorations around it and they were sitting next to the coffee table. So I felt a little strange and I quickly hung up the phone with my mom and called John.... He came right home. IN the meantime I called the rental office, and the manager answered. When I asked if they had been in the apartment they said yes. But they went there by accident. The manager said the staff went in the front door and right back out. This is not possible- since we are 2nd floor so you come in the front door downstairs and then come up the stairs to the living area. When I said the furniture was moved around- he seemed surprised but not concerned. So I said well even if you came in by accident you sjhould have left a note. He said well I asked them if they left a note but they said no so I was expecting your call....Now I am thinking a good manager would have got to me before I had to call them....but nothing. So I hung up and I just felt so invaded.

John got home and we realized more furniture had been moved. SO he called the office but he was gone for the day.

I feel like my privacy was invaded....so now what?

Then we call John's dad to wish him a happy birthday and we find out he lost his job that day...he was with a company for over 25 years. Now his dad made a good point- John's check books had been on the counter- so who knows if they took info. My house is in such an uproar right now due to the moving this week that is hard to tell if anything is missing....

So our plan is if we dont hear from the rental office we are claling the cops....what do you think???

are you and John home or at work today

you might have said

with the issue of the check book and apt in a mess for the move things could be missing you don't know about

My first reaction would be to call the police so it's on record and since the apt man has gotten back to you and expected your call.........he should know who was in your apt there for if things are gone and the police have been notified......if things were stolen they might not try to use them as they know it was reported.....and your going to be out of there soon.

just my 2 cents.

[CarlaB]

I agree. Document who you talked to and at what time at the office ... what they said. I'd hand them a copy and have them sign that they received it. Make them know you're serious.

It is probably something "innocent" like checking to see if the carpets need cleaned .... but still they should have told you.

I agree, call the cops. The man hasn't behaved in an open and trustable manner.

[elye]

Call the cops, Amanda. . . .... . even though you won't have to worry about this landlord for much longer, his less-than-professional behavior should be acknowledged, I think, to the authorities. . . . ......

[Jestgar]

Alright, I'm having a crappy morning.

Cats and stew and computers DO NOT mix well, and likely, only the cat will survive.

Shirts made with two layers of material are a really dumb idea.

[flourgirl]

I'll put in my 2 cents.....they're right. Call the cops so you at least have a complaint on record. It's good that you won't be there much longer....you wouldn't feel safe in your own home anymore. It IS a personal violation.....and it's wrong of them to be there (on accident? come on..) and to not inform you. They would not have had any reason that I can see for moving anything around! I'd be madder n heck ifn it was me

My studies.....I'm taking an on-line medical transcription course. At this point I'm learning the programs with Microsoft Office....which is way cool. Even the word program has changed so much...so many options toys to play with. I've always had very physical jobs....and I just can't do that anymore. I think this is a good field to get into, and I can always extend my studies to medical coding. My goal is to work from home at some point.

Yes, the picture is my backyard. I love the deer....except when they eat my plants. I have a beautiful, (at least it WAS beautiful) Camelia. The deer love it. I got them to leave it alone long enough for all of the leaves to grow back...but it's now completely bald again!!!! We have also had visits from turkeys, quail and a bear (last march). Wonder if he'll be back this spring!

As soon as weather is warm y'all are invited to sit on the deck, sip iced tea (or what have you) and watch the birdies (and of course, get psilly!)

[elye]

Amanda, call the cops! You won't have to worry about this landlord much longer, but it should go on public record that he has acted so unprofessionally... . . ..

Ta-reeeesah, have you spotted any nekkid Polish men out there? Whatever you do, DO NOT sign up at Couchsurfers - - you'll be looking out your window at your gorgeous landscape, waiting for deer, quail and bears, and there he'll suddenly be. . . . . . ..

[flourgirl]

Have not yet had any nekkid any-bodies pop up (nor poop up) in my back yard!

Although it could prove to be quite an interesting focal point in one of the gardens....depending on what they looked like

Company is gone. Really enjoyed them. I was hoping for a kwiet afternoon....buuuuuttt noooo...oo.they've been building in the neighborhood all summer....but at the far end. NOW they are digging up the ground and blasing the rocks, and of course not only dynamite but a hydraulic hammer, two lots down. At first I thought the noise was in my front yard. Yeow what a noise At least it's not warm weather when I want to be outside. (I didn't even know it was a vacant lot there, thought it belonged to my neighbor <:shrugface:>

Unfortunately I don't think there is much you can do about this. I do some contract work with a few apartment complexes and this is pretty standard practice. It's likely in your lease agreement somewhere that they can enter your apartment at any time for any reason with or without notice. Most complexes are very good about notifying residents ahead of time but don't always when unscheduled maintenace is necessary. If something is missing you can file a police report but the apartment technically owns the apartment so you'll be dealing with your insurance company. The law is on their side. It is one of the downsides of renting.

Regardless of whether or not you choose to notify police or give the apartment people a hard time, John should go as early tomorrow as possible and close those bank accounts, and get new bank account numbers. If he explains to the bank what happened they should be more than helpful.

True . . . but unscheduled maintenance like your furniture needed to be moved??? . . . doesn't hurt to talk to the police and they most likely will tell you that there is nothing they can do unless something comes up missing. But the whole situation is suspicious . . . why on earth would they move your furniture???

[Jestgar]

I agree. They should have left a note or called or something.
