Live in smoke allowed building neighbor complaining
Comments (16)LOL. Thanks! When I smoked a cig on my patio, he flipped out and that's when he started pounding with his fists on my door. Fool--the manager lives next door and heard him. AND she has never smelled smoke either. There is some fairness on this earth: she told him he should move if he doesn't like it, and is considering evicting him for his behavior anyway. I am out of my lease and getting my deposit back. I can't believe something finally worked out fair. I've had horrific landlords, three the last 10 years, and it's been something else. I am still moving to Wyoming and I am going to rent a nice little house for less than 1/2 the rent for this stupid apt., and NO NEIGHBORS. I had no idea renting could be so horrible and I am glad there are people working for tenant's rights. The last one I lived in turned out to be illegal and I couldn't believe anyone could do that. I could have been evicted by the city at any time, and here I am, single, 55 and sick half the time with fibromyalgia and chronic fatique. Basically, just trying to make it to work every day. Really hard to deal with the stress, when all I want is a quiet, half-way decent place to live. And I pay top dollar here in San Diego. The apt. owner before didn't spend one penny on maintenance for 7 years, and after living with duct-taped carpet for 2 years, and a $135 rent increase, I moved. This was at $1100 a month. I have been shocked at how awful people can be. I will be VERY wary next time :) Again, I am so pleased to regain a little belief in the goodness of man, due to my present manager's actions. I was really beginning to wonder if everyone had just gone bad. So greedy....it won't be like this in Wyoming. Lived there for 8 years, and the people were wonderful. Still, I will be wary LOL. I only have a drop of trust left....See Moreanxiety/panic attacks?
Comments (8)Sunnie, please see your doctor. I've been on anxiety meds for about a year now, and boy-o-boy, howdy!!! What a difference. They don't make me drowsy, don't make me 'stupid' (at least I don't think so)...but it takes away that heaviness in my chest...if something goes wrong, or I'm worried, I can deal with it, or fact it, then it just goes somewhere else instead of my DWELLING on it every minute of the day! I no longer obsess about what COULD happen, and worry much, much less. You need to take care of yourself, or you'll be the one being taken care of. *Oh! I've always hated dropping a participle like that! hmph. Where was I? Oh, yes....Sweetie....you can't run on 'empty'. Everyone needs to re-charge now and then, and we all have different ways of doing that. Debbie has her bubbly baths, and I go shopping with friends and to lunch, or I put a chick-flick on and sip wine with abandon ! lol! You have to find a way to re-charge...that weekend coming up with your daughter sounds wonderful! What a nice bonding experience for the two of you! Make it a celebration! Take in a movie or two! Bring bubble-bath for yourself!! And apply wine medicinally! haha! Find what brings you some joy and just do that when you can. Even 1/2hr spurts now and then can re-charge you. Snap those ear-phones on and blast your favourite music! Or retreat and say your rosary. Whatever is your bliss. Sooooooo, Debbie!!! Your daughter will be on MY TURF next year, eh? hahahaha!!! Hope you can come here and we can both drive over and visit her! I have tons of room, several guest-rooms and you're welcome to whatever you need! Sandra's taken the bus here for a visit...you both can come! haha! OMG...she's coming in two weeks with 3 hockey-dads and their 3 hockey-playing 14-year old sons (her cousin and his son) who are also staying here! I hope there's enough room on that bus going back for all the Christmas stuff she's going to pick up at Costco! hahaha!!! Wow! 7 guests in two weeks! PAR-TAY~ !! Now back to you, Sunnie....please pay attention to yourself, okay? It's so important, we can't stress it enough. I've had anxiety attacks, and they're no fun at all. Time to get a little help and find what you need to refresh yourself. Blessings Linda...See Moreabout to have a complete meltdown/anxiety attack
Comments (14)I'm so sorry you are feeling so stressed. I understand that feeling of nothing to do then all of a sudden it seems that decisions had to be made yesterday. Even with trying to plan so much out ahead of time, some things just can't or don't get taken care of ahead of time. I was kind of in that quandry regarding lighting. It was one of those things I put off hoping that I would see the "Perfect" light. I finally had to start looking seriously and still had trouble picking out what I liked. So many things were "nice". Finally found a style I liked that would work and ordered them. I wanted to use a lighting designer because I knew I needed a little help figuring out how much light was enough. It was my previous experience with general contractor and electrician that made me aware that they aren't necessarily helpful in that respect. Even though it sounds like you have your lighting already, I would still try to talk to a designer about your concerns. Some lighting stores may do that for free, even if you don't purchase from them. Can lights put out a fair amount of light but when centered over walkways the majority is going to end up being behind you when you stand at the counter. I went with under cabinet lighting to help with that. My island is 50" by 72" and I am planning 3 pendants with 100 watt bulbs each. The lighting designer suggested placing them a few inches closer to the seating area side than the other prep side. That will put them in a line just off of center. I'm not sure if it really matters but I thought maybe it would be more aesthetically pleasing if they weren't dead on center. Regarding trim, we have a similar situation in that our existing trim is 22 year old oak, natural which has yellowed over the years. The new cabinets are lyptus stained quite dark, almost a chocolate cherry look. The cabinets will have molding at the ceiling to match. The big dining room window is framed by cabinets and so I think we have to match the window trim to the cabinets there. Do we match the trim at the sink window with the cabinets or leave it match the rest of the house? The baseboard trim is also a concern. We decided to go natural with the new red oak floors to try to match existing oak trim but I would have preferred a stain to make the floor a little darker. That, however, would mean a third wood color and still wouldn't match the rest of the house. Who really thinks about all these little details before you pick your cabinet colors? You just figure it will all work out and then you are stuck thinking, how will I make this all work together. Yikes. Sorry, I ramble. I would avoid painting the trim white. As someone else said, it really wouldn't look right, being the only white thing. I could see maybe painting it to match the green cabinets but think staining would be best. Especially with the style/look you are going for. Definitely find out exactly how much more it is going to cost. I'm not sure if regular oak or quartersawn oak trim will make much difference in cost or look, but I would look into both options so you know if there is much difference. Good luck, soon it will be over and you will be loving it!...See MoreQuotes 3 - 30 - 15
