At my apartment complex, our post boxes are

In Reply to: I carry my mail in, sort it immediately, and put the junk in the trash. - No need for it to pile up. Toss it!

in a large mail kiosk and I can sort my mail right there, open everything and throw away all trash before ever getting back in my car or walking back to my apartment. Anything unnecessary never makes it to (1) my purse (used to be a bad habit of mine), (2) my car (used to be another bad habit of mine), or (3) my apartment. It really is amazing how much paper is wasted on advertisements that I'm not even interested in, envelopes, etc.

It can be very stressful to have all that stuff staring at you on the desk, demanding more of your time.

Met him in the apartment complex I lived in.
We were just friends for about a year and a half. I was newly divorced and not ready to have a relationship, but we became great friends. Here we are 11 years later - happy, happy, happy!!!!
I am not sure. I am chicken. I live in an apartment complex
I do walk around my house, but there is an elderly woman who lives below me and I get worried that she hears my foot steps pacing. I have a fan blowing on me, and keeping it cold to keep me awake. Maybe a cold glass of water and some sit ups. Problem with sit ups is I bet if I lie on the floor, I won't sit up, I'll fall asleep!!! Thanks for the idea, though. I wish I were not a chicken to go outside.
Complex question as others have
but obviously government policy has a direct impact on this. If you give tax cuts to billionaires while cutting basic services such as Medicaid, Headstart, etc., to the poorest what else can be expected?

Excerpt from article in link below:
"But after a decade of improvement in the 1990s, poverty in America is actually getting worse. A rising tide of economic growth is no longer lifting all boats. For the first time in half a century, the third year of a recovery (2004) also saw an increase in poverty. In a nation of nearly 300 million people, the number living below the poverty line ($14,680 for a family of three) recently hit 37 million, up more than a million in a year."

Why didn't you go through the apartment with them?

We go through the apartment with the tenant that is leaving, if at all possible.  This leaves no margin for error. 


We also state in our lease that all carpets MUST be professionally shampooed upon leaving.   Maybe that wasn't in your lease but it is kind of gross not to do this.  A vacuum doesn't pick up the 'real' crud.


It's a shame this happened to you but I'd be sure to be there when the inspectors go through, just in case something like this occurs.


Apartment questions

Hey, I'm back on the apartment scene, but this time with three little ones.  I was told when I moved in that there was a pregnant girl living alone upstairs from me.  Okay, fine.  Well, in fact, it's her, a 2 yo, and a man.  Manager and staff must not be aware of all of them and that seems dangerous to me as we were warned to tell of anyone who would be staying chronically.  I assumed in case of fire or other emergency. 


Anyway, she is a stomper.  I realize that she is pregnant and/or may just be a heavy walker, but she is up at 6 am and doesn't go to bed until midnight.  She does not work.  I am trying my darndest to get my typing done while my kids are napping and in bed for the night.  The stomping has a tendency to be a distraction while I'm working.  It's also keeping my kids from relaxing.  No sleep = no work.  I think she takes the baby to daycare because he isn't there all day, just her and she moves around constantly from room to room.  I am doing a very good job of keeping our noise level way down for other tenants.  Oh and, Ugh, I haven't even gotten to the worst part.  My 4 yo daughter and I share a room and my son and other daughter also share a room.  My bedroom is directly below the neighbor's.  You guessed it, wild s-e-x anywhere from 11 pm to midnight when she retires.  Loud moaning and groaning with wall banging, etc.  It continues to wake us all.  Thankfully, my children haven't asked about it.  They just stir and go back to sleep.  She is very entitled to her private life, but it seems to be more of a performance to me.  She may not know I and other can hear her, but common sense would seem to dictate that if she can hear others, they can hear her.  What would you all do?  I have seen her face to face and she commented on my having 3 kids.  I don't want to tell on her to the manager here.  That's bad form, plus she could get nuts on me and I don't want that.  I figure we'll get used to the stomping.  Ugh, again, I'm going in circles.  Should I just get over it?  My church friends say I should bang on the ceiling during her nightly romps.  That's seems in bad taste also.  I just don't know.  Geez, this is my only beef right now.  That's huge for me.  Thanks. 


B6 complex. I would also recommend splinting at night.
I found that it really helps me not to bend my wrist and also not to put any pressure on it.   I have had surgery for CT, but before surgery my orthopod recommended 15 minute soaks, hot, cold, hot.    Try putting a standard size bed pillow in your lap and putting your keyboard on that.  The pillow cushions so your wrist isn't taking such a banging with typing, plus it also gives you a cushion for your wrist instead of an edge on a wrist rest.   I also find that I sit straighter with my back pressed against the chair typing this way which helps with stress on back and shoulders.  
I also live in an apt complex and plan to deduct
75% of my ISP, 100% of my ULD and I am considering 50% of my utilities (haven't decided on that one yet).

The reason I won't file for paying taxes is this. I live in a large apartment complex. Most of the complex is located within city limits, but I live in the back part which is actually located in what is considered as incorporated county. So, you can see that the property management pays a different tax rate for the majority of its property from the location of my apartment and because I cannot hand the IRS a statement showing I paid XXX amount in property tax, I will only claim the square footage...something I can prove in writing by printing out the floor plan, taking pictures of the office, and having a copy of the lease.
they all have their own boxes plus
she is in another part of the house with her own food and water separate from the others to make sure everyone gets enough of everything. she spends the majority of the day outside, comes in for a snack and straight back to the door to go out again. over night she has her own bedroom so that there isn't any trouble over night.
A "home" can be an actual house or an apartment. So,
to answer your question, you CAN say YES you rent a home.
Hi PP - there are still 2 boxes left....sm

wanna come visit and have some truffles?  *lolol*  Congrats to your DAUGHTER!!!!  Smart cookie she is!! 


My daughter has a beau for 6 years now and they are engaged and very serious.  It's MOM (me) who questions *if it isn't broken, don't fix it* - *LOL* - but I'm 200 percent behind them and am very supportive.....I just FEAR marriage (after one very_long bad experience) and yet I try not to put that on her.  *grin*


Well you and I are about 15 miles apart....just a hop, skip, and a jump for you, eh?  *HAHAHAHAHA*


Be well, sugar!!!    


The three boxes are supposed to
look like that. That is normal. You do not have to X and close them. What are you trying to change on your monitor?
I seriously doubt that type of work is as complex as medical reports.

Heck, coding is complex, but definitely FINITE and physically non-demanding. sm
Typing can get to you, physically. And coding has SO many resources, catalogs, books, online resources. Once you understand the concepts and rules, it's kinda like playing a card game, and not that difficult. I think MT is way more demanding, mentally.
I hate wireless internet. I live in an apartment and
trying to get it to stay connected it almost impossible.
Sorry! missed the part about apartment and elderly woman below you
So I'm thinking the jumping jacks and/or the exercise video aren't the greatest tips.  How about an exercise bike? 
big kitties and litter boxes
I have three cats and one of them is a very big (long) Himalayan who always manages somehow to go on the edge of his litter box or hit the floor, so I have put a scatter rug under his litter box and I purchased a longer litter box.  I tried the ones with the tops and he could not fit in it, so I just make sure he hits the box and if not clean the rug of the litter or debris on it.  I don't let any of my three cats out because our vet told me it is not a good idea here with coyotes and rabies, so they are all in the house.  I also always make sure the litter box is clean for all of them to use.  I found with multiple cats that Cat's Pride scoopable is the best.  My vets recommends shreaded paper if you have one or two cats.  I tried that with three but what a mess that was, and out of all the litter out there on the market, the Cat's Pride Scoopable is the best for my cats. 
Over the door lock boxes
I pick up work from a local family practice and our schedules conflict a lot of times.  It is hard to be there exactly when the doctor finishes his dictation and they forget to give me a 30-minute warning since I am about 30 minutes away.  Sometimes I have to make a trip every day to fit his schedule.  Does anyone know where I can buy an over the door lock box (like what Lab Corp uses to leave blood work, etc.)?  I would love for him to leave the transcription tapes, etc., in the box and I pick up and drop off on my schedule so I can get to the work faster and also pick up after office hours.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 
Yes, 13.50 wouldn't rent you a studio apartment where I live. And agree

Some boxes, like Mrs. Smith's pies, say distributed by
Schwann company in So. Carolina, but they are all made in Mexico (my cousin is long distance truck driver, sees them transferring the boxes from 1 truck to another.) Fig Newtons made in Mexico. Big problem with the border guards from US because their uniforms and ID badges made in Mexico and many of them are stolen or sold in Mexico which allows access of illegals into US. Nothing is made in US anymore.
In Word I can't see my field boxes anymore that I use F11 to skip around to. Does anyone know ho

Might be meaning the 3 boxes left upper corner??
the 3 little square boxed in the right hand corner, see them. The middle one makes a bigger screen. Unclick it and it goes back to regular size. This this what you meant.
I use Word 2003 and I have text boxes I jump to using the F11 key. I have no idea what I did, but

using the F11 key, but I want to see the boxes where I enter the text. 


Any ideas on how to fix this?


TIA


Check your boxes and stuff for some sort of customer service...
I think you got a bad one. Return.
the USPS supplies boxes and supplies free of charge..but you have to "order" it sm
by phone.  I'll see if I can find it.  What is sent to soldiers is what is allowed by military protocol..beef jerky would not be allowed in a country that considers beef sacred.  They (military) strongly enforce being considerate of the countrys culture.  within those guidelines, send anything..if the recipient does not want it..it goes on a public area and free for all to share..they love doing it too.
Should just post all their open positions in one post and only be allowed to post one of those a day

Ignore my post. I finally found the post on how to do this. nm

Yes, I tried to post same last night about 10 times, and it won't let me post.
I used to breed lab puppies (please no activist flames)! I had a champion female white Canadian lab, and people would be on a list for years if by chance I bred her, which I did twice, and so that I could continue her line.  Anyhow, she's my sweet Skye who passed away 2 months ago? At any rate, we had the same problems with kids in the "hood" who wanted to come over and play once the puppies were old enough to be exercised daily and played with.  At first I thought, how cute, right? Puppies and little kids - what better picture! Well, the majority of kids were adorable, but there were always 1 or 2 sick ones who would smack the pups, smash and hold their heads in the dirt (a real common thing, but I don't know why - psychiatrist anyone).  At any rate, I finally had to ban the whole group due to the 1 or 2 creeps, had to call the police, the whole 9 yards, and that's EXACTLY what the police officer told me - next thing is there will be poison meat or a donut in the yard. He told me to always go out and patrol my yard, especially alone the fence line every day before I let the dogs out, particularly at night. I went out with a flashlight.  It was about a month later, but sure enough - poison meat.  Because there were so many kids involved, we obviously couldn't pin point the exact family, but the police went and read the riot act to them all. It would stop and not happen again for a year or so, but every now and again we would find something. My dogs were NEVER out and barking, so it was nothing like that - it was just over the puppies and the cruel kids.... Not trying to freak you, but that's the way these kids and their families are.  You can really judge someone's character by ill treatment of a PUPPY, of all things. And the parents??  They sound whacked.  Please be careful.

Yes, she had post partum depression AND post partum psychosis. I posted on this a while back, and
it explained the two. The psychosis actually develops after the depression. Scary stuff.

Thank you for your post
You posted it like it is.  What about this young boys parents??  What was he doing out at 2-3 in the morning??  What kind of parent would allow that??  No where have these posters who are blaming the victim even tried to put blame on this boy.  Amazing.  I hate to say it but the old cliche is true.  very few women stand together or help each other, the claws come out and they attack each other.  This young boy has told several different accounts of what happened that night.  My take is that they put a date rape drug in her drink, as some of her friends said she was acting strangely.
