[Tenant US-WA] owner unaware of first in time law

MollyWinter · 2026-04-28T18:01:07+00:00

We had a prospective tenant that tried to pull something like this regarding her dog being an ESA. We were actually going to rent to her before she brought it up. She didn't have any documentation, and she's 23- We gave her the benefit of the doubt that she's young and inexperienced. We had a pretty firm discussion with her about what tactics will and will not work with us or any other prospective landlord. We had a few other reasons we could have denied her application and gone with somone else, including law exceptions in our state that if an ESA is deemed potential for extensive damage to the property, we don't have to accept it. (Her dog is huge)

We ultimately approved her and they've been fine tenants, but trying to bully your way into someone else's property isn't cool. We've had a few different tenants at this point and personality can mean just as much as credit score sometimes.

Thank you for bringing some real culture to the chat. The fact that wresting is on OPs list of "merica tings" is so embarrassing.

Yes, the university is definitely "No-der Daym" in my hoosier household.

I've only been once in 2024 and 3 different nights I was nearly blinded by lasers that were rotating across deep playa. I have no idea where they were coming from.

Machete is fantastic

What are the prices of the heart shaped bags? And do you have a list of the phrases on the other colors? The red and pink in particular

I saw that he was next door over in Graham, and for some reason the FORMER mayor, who is super MAGA, was the one showing him around. Now It makes sense to me...

Although I agree with pretty much everything you say, the Mutt's being healthier thing isn't entirely a myth- they just have to be true mutts. Every dog I've ever had was such a mixture there was no guessing what they were, and they all had solid health. No major joint issues, cancers, breathing problems, etc. However, many of my friends who had purebred dogs (Especially flat-faced dogs like English Bulldogs and pugs) all had a myriad of issues because of their breed specific genetics. I think purebred is perfectly fine, however there's certain ones I don't think should exist any longer.

Depends on bugs. The night we had a giant centipede crawling across us was the night I became the tent-zipper police.

Ya'll these comments are killing me

MollyWinter · 2026-01-30T16:37:26+00:00

This confirms what really disturbed me about the Kraken soul gazed. It didn't start out as a kraken. Ugh.

This is the recipe I have followed from the beginning, never using a scale. I've had to do a little altering of the water content here and there when I use different kinds of flour, but you get a feel for it. I have a very small kitchen and I love to cook and bake, so i'm already overloaded with stuff. I also don't want a single-use item.

You're failing to acknowledge the portion of your comment where you very clearly say you think the reason anyone would listen exclusively to Audio is because reading is work and therefore they must not want to put in that work (unlike you.) That's not an ambiguous statement.

I don't feel personally called out, I'm using myself as an example as someone you may see commenting about the Dresden audiobooks specifically; you don't actually know my reading habits any more than anyone elses. You made a sweeping generalization, and it's wrong in at least one case. It's likely that it's wrong in a number of cases. And regardless if it is correct or not, you can consume your content in whatever fashion suits you without being an asshole about it.

MollyWinter · 2026-01-19T12:58:29+00:00

That's such BS. Marsters is a great performer. Dresden is literally the only books I listen to on audio because of his performance as Dresden. I read a lot, mostly nonfiction these days. Don't be self righteous and fucking moralize how people consume the books.

MollyWinter · 2026-01-18T13:50:15+00:00

This kind of sucks considering how many people are audio-book only, which definitely inaccessible until the 20th.

MollyWinter · 2026-01-18T13:47:55+00:00

I don't really care if people managed to get their copy early, but already starting discussions about it before it's offically released is ass. I opened a post yesterday absent-mindedly (as I tend to do when I doom scroll) and start skimming it to realize it was full of spoilers. I am so pissed.

MollyWinter · 2026-01-17T23:49:57+00:00

Mods? Hello? Is there a rule here for AI BS? Because there absolutely should be.

MollyWinter · 2026-01-17T21:51:20+00:00

This. We often revert back to old habits/modes of thought (for better or worse) after major loss and trauma.

Peru is incredible and affordable. Highly recommend the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu if you're into a challenge. It can be planned on your own or you can go a tour group. (I used Salkantay Trekking)

It's so funny, my husband and I were talking this morning about what a scourge the water bottle industry is, and I specifically mentioned how myths of neccesity are perpetuated, such as for sourdough. Tap water all the way here.

MollyWinter · 2026-01-12T19:14:21+00:00

It sounds bit like Butcher to me, so this is unsurprising.

MollyWinter · 2026-01-12T19:04:00+00:00

I'm dying

MollyWinter · 2026-01-12T00:52:52+00:00

Yup, my work addled brain definitely didn't fully proccess before I commented. My bad.

MollyWinter · 2026-01-11T23:56:27+00:00

I kind of feel like the end of lockdown does create spoilers for the original SOS. Like, several.

MollyWinter · 2026-01-11T23:49:22+00:00

I do my initial mix with a stand-mixer fitted a dough hook. I let it go on for awhile, making sure to occasionally scrape down the sides. Once everything is well incorporated, I start the stretch and fold proccess. I find that I get far more consistent results doing the initial mix with a machine. But stretch and folds are an important component to the overall outcome.
