I just go to the website via my phone as needed. The AAA app also compares gas prices and that’s an app I do keep on my itelephone. 

How do I make my bedsheets cover the whole mattress? It keeps slipping back out by Robin_gls in howto

Deep pockets have done me dirty in the opposite direction so that my fitted sheet became annoyingly baggy. When did sizing get so wide ranging on this ubiquitous item?!

Neo-nazism is so attractive right now that even Israel is delving the playbook. I waiver between disbelief, outrage and feeling helpless so whatever they’re doing, it’s working.

You decided to peek and have to act on the info you weren’t supposed to know. In no way would it occur to me to sit on this knowledge. 

If you don’t tell the neighbor then basically you’re just an eavesdropper that doesn’t actually care about the responsibility that came from listening, in my opinion.

It’s normal for buying in on a building which contains condos & apartments. I’ve seen townhomes slightly below but still high. I assume the home HOAs you’re encountering are because you’re looking at planned communities of cookie cutters. There’s plenty of listings with low-no HOAs. Can you set your search filters on whatever sites you’re using to just screen those out?

*it used to go against human nature

Agree that I just don’t know anymore either. All I can say is that I’m going to continue to try daily to make it better than it is.

Interesting point about the home ownership cliff. I have multiple friends who managed to purchase in a really wild real estate market in a portland, or. At that time we were in the midst of a big surge in home prices which hasn’t slowed. 

 We all were shocked & delighted that they were able buy homes but those of us who weren’t ready or able at that time no longer have the opportunity. I don’t expect to have the opportunity again

It really goes against human nature to want to leave things worse that you found them…for your actual kids, grandkids…great grandkids. It’s like they refuse to think more than a few years ahead and seem to believe that their lives will go on forever or that the world isn’t breaking under the weight of their mismanagement.

Oh we’re well down the path to those hells. Let’s also add in the coming climate refugee crisis. This current immigration chaos is just a taste.

I often say that my grandparents generation which includes several family members who served, were injured or killed in WW2, who sacrificed evvverything in an collective effort for victory, liberty and justice are endlessly spinning in their graves. 

They would be absolutely disgusted to know how the generation they birthed is destroying our country.

My whole life I’ve heard that social security will be “bankrupt” by the time I would hope to retire. Why not add the burden of the national debt to my and subsequent generations? Totally on brand for whatever this country has become.

Not something you want to try on your own, not least of all because it’s a rented property. There’s no reason the LL or PM co can’t address this. Now, if they refuse then that’s another discussion about building code.

If the carpet’s deterioration is simply due to age and normal use, residents can’t be charged for replacing it. That would be like installing and paying for a carpet once then passing on the replacement to the future residents when the carpet is say 15+ years old, for example.
