    Argh, craigslist flaggers!

    I wish they'd just get rid of the pets section entirely. I love it for everything else, we sold a car on there pretty effectively and its free. But the pets! *sigh* It's heartbreaking to read some of the posts, and it makes it way too easy for people to give away free kittens/puppies. Or...

    Married/Cohabitating couples: How do you split rent?

    I'm really bad at math, but is that right? Should it be 1/3 and 2/3? I was trying to figure out a proportion of our incomes that when added together would about equal the cost of rent, and came up with ~35%. 1/3 of the rent is 50$ more than 35% of my income. Oh gosh I believe I've scrambled my...

    Am I being unreasonable? (rant)

    Did they ask you to do this, or just make you do it? Is there a way you could quit doing the weekend bit and keep your regular job? Sounds like it's way more of a hassle than they're paying you for. Keep in mind that building managers get free rent to deal with those same things-- way more...

    Married/Cohabitating couples: How do you split rent?

    Wow that's quite the variation We can't really move somewhere cheaper-- university housing situation. Everywhere requires a 12-month lease, and besides I've looked and there isn't anything cheaper anywhere near here. Studios are only a couple hundred dollars less, and about 1/3 the size. We...

    Online Retailing

    1) There aren't any pet supply retailers around, and I don't want to pay shipping from online, so mostly I'm stuck with what they have at the drugstore or grocery. 2) When I do buy stuff online, it's always toys or scratching toy corrugated cardboard refills. 3) Iams and Friskies Indoor...

    Married/Cohabitating couples: How do you split rent?

    Our rent is pretty steep (but good for the neighborhood!) SO's income is three times as much as mine. We were splitting the rent something like 60/40, but that wasn't really working out for me and it meant he had to pay for EVERYTHING else because I was so short on money. Now he's paying all of...

    Grrr. Had to get ANOTHER Cell phone!

    I get a new one in March. I don't really need the cutting-edge crap, runs out of battery too fast. But I would like a keyboard if it's free (get 200$ towards it). Like a camera too, but don't care that much. I have an old Motorola. It has been very dependable and nice, but it's almost 2 years...

    Asthma?

    Sounds like asthma to me. Allergies and asthma both are just your immune system overreacting to environment, and many people have both. I do. I have had very severe asthma most of my life. It got better at the beginning of college, got worse again. Common triggers are being worse at night...

    I took my PRAXIS this morning!

    I am in a MS program for education, and this morning I took the Praxis PPST on the computer. It's the test you have to pass to continue on in the education program, and you have to pass a bunch more for licensure. Well, one bad thing-- we had a fire drill in the middle of the test. We knew...

    So, who is the President...

    Zissou thinks she is queen. Simon says he doesn't understand the question, and continues chewing on a paper bag.
