I needed to start this thread for a bit of pity and a momentary wallow in my misery.

:violin:

For six rental seasons, I have done the same thing. I arrive to our place and do the bi-annual change out of slipcovers. Washed the Summer covers, put them up and put on the Fall covers, which had been washed last Spring.

Mr. K calls me last night and says we got a bill for the deep clean. Fine, good. Then he read me the ridiculous amount they have charged us for DRY CLEANING all the slipcovers!!!! We even were charged for "upholstery cleaning" the outdoor cushions, which I always wash! So, I just washed slipcovers that were recently drycleaned (I told them to never do this). :bang:

Thank you...I feel better. I will be having a meeting today. :biggrin:

Go ahead...rant away! :wave:

What do you attribute this behavior to? Drugs?

I wish. I don't take my happy shingle drugs anymore, but the euphoria has lingered. I have drugs to make me drowsy to the point that I shouldn't even operate a Tonka truck, but I still can't make it to la-la land.

I have no idea why I'm so stinking happy, but I can't seem to get in a witchy mood anymore. I don't know what's wrong with me.

I found an old thread about site discussion, but will ask you here.

Do things look different on sowal.com? Brighter, cleaner?

:floor:...I can't say clean anymore without laughing.

You know, I was born with a head full of brown hair and have never been blonde in my life, but whatever you just said completely blew past me. I know you're making fun of me, but I don't get it. :confused: :blush: :wave:

I am NOT making funn of you! I am asking a question about the appearance of sowal.com...it looks brighter (the cleaner part had to do with the ranting of the inspectorladyperson).

I think kurt was only washing it every 6 months. Thanks to her "educational" rant he has seen the light and gotten out the bleach. :rolling:

I caught up on my reading today and just have to say that I could have lived without it.

I have a big can of Lysol in my office, a big can that stays at my house, a little purse sized can if I ever need it, and a can that I will take with me if I don't quite trust my lodgings. Lysol can cover a multitude of sins.

I hope that we've all learned that it is a matter of simple courtesy to turn down or remove the comforter if we're going to get frisky and bump uglies in a rental house. (This is why no one will rent to Phead, though. I'm afraid I'd have to burn the comforter where he stayed...)

So, it's Monday....the sprinklers came on. Molly went outside and I called her to come in, but she did not come. It was dark and I heard water. FTLOC...half of the backyard was under water!!!! I got Molly in, dried her footies and went out with a flashlight to investigate. There is water bubbling out of the ground on the side of the house! I have called the water department. They are sending an emergency truck out...I had to wake Mr. K to tell him to get in the shower, stat! Guess I'll be waiting on a plumber today. :eek:

What a pain! Was it a sprinkler head? Why didn't you turn off the sprinkler system or the water meter at the street? Hubby taught me how to take care of all sorts of such problems because he used to be out of town so much, and invariably he would be out of town when this stuff hapened. Thankfully hubby is a do-it-yourselfer. He just goes to Home Depot, buys a new sprinkler head, and fixes it himself.

Gosh, I guess poor Molly was a mess with her long hair.

It's tax time - so I am going through ALL my paperwork - and found this steaming pile of hooey!

I have always been against the use of credit scores in determining auto insurance rates, but this is the last straw!!!

Apparently my credit report was used to calculate my auto insurance premium and I did NOT receive the lowest possible premium for these reasons (even though my info was "very good" in their words) because:

1) I applied for credit at least once in the last 2 years
2) I had no reported auto loans or leases opened in the last 10 years
3) I had a payment past due in the last 7 years


So because I got pre-approved for a loan (but didn't get one), didn't finance my only car ever, and was late on a payment sometime since I was 22, I have to pay more - even though I have never made a claim, gotten in an accident, or gotten a ticket!!!

Pucking insurance companies!!! :angry:

Holy Crap! That's just not right!....:boxing:
How does one find out how their insurance is calculated?

By law they have to inform you if they use your credit report to figure your premium and then give you less than their best rate. They bury this info in the pages and pages of crap they sent you w/ your insurance info.

I am still VERY po'd about this BTW and our elected officials will be hearing from me! There is ABSOLUTELY no reason credit info (from a company who doesn't even have my age correct BTW) should be affecting my rates for PREPAID car insurance when I have been with said company for years!!! :angry:

I love how all this use of credit scores didn't keep people from borrowing money they couldn't afford to pay back and pucking up the WORLD'S economies - it's just a way for them to justify jacking up prices.

Also on the news this morning they are talking about how banks are cutting limits or canceling cards on people w/ scores above 750, so obviously it's a giant crock tha they get to pick and choose when to utilize these scores! :angry:

Wow - above 750? That is very odd~~~~~~~:blink:

Yep, they don't actually care what your credit scores are, they're trying to cut their losses.

I listed ALL the reasons they were using to justify my car insurance increase - how many people do you know w/ great credit who wouldn't have the exact same things on their reports?

Wow - sorry to hear that, Scooterbug! I knew credit was being cut on lower credit scores, but above 750?

My insurance prem. went down this last renewal on everything. Of course, I did get a little squeaky with my agent....

No...it was a main line for the sprinkler system. The plumbers dug it up, but I am sending them on their way with their high hourly rate and my landscaper is on the job! Mr. K did shut the water off. I am sure I could have figured it out, but why do that when I have a strong man at home? :biggrin: BTW...I lucked out since Mr. K leaves for France today!

I hate when people complain.:wave::wave::wave:

:lol:.

Hubby keeps a wrench for me by the water meter at the street for the sprinkler system. Then he had a cutoff installed in the house for the house water line so I wouldn't have to go all the way to the street (potentially at night) to cut that off in an emergency. We've had many water emergencies (had polybutylene pipe -- Shell Oil paid for the entire house to be replumbed -- so far, so good).

Our neighbor is a contractor. He recommends turning your water off when you are out of town because of all of the water emergencies he's seen. He says he always turns his off. We turn off the gas, too, because you never know when it could spring a leak.

Glad Mr. K. was there so you didn't have to take care of it all by yourself.:wave:

New rant. Case closed and all items not damaged were recovered, but I'm still :pissed:.

Thieves are bad enough, but what kind of creep steals a kid's book bag, rips up their classwork and homework, destroys their binders and leaves it all in the middle of the road?

Between this, the church van being stolen and the Wise Man winding up in the bayou, Point Washington is having a freaking crime wave. Lock your doors, and be sure to lock your vehicles at night.
