Happy birthday, Julie. Any plans?
-
*wishes a blessed, safe, and very Happy Independence Day/4th of July to all her friends at ACME and VILE.*
???
*staerted this Taco Tuesday with some tasty, non-alcoholic Mexican Coffee this morning; and had a non-alcoholic Margarita and a ground beef soft taco for dinner, earlier.*
*enjoyed watching the short film "Le Balloon Rouge" earlier today. Listened to the song "99 Red Balloons" afterwards. Lol.*
*has just heard news reports of a 4.0 earthquake in Lake Erie, in Northeast Ohio, at 10:50 A.M, that was felt in many counties, towns, cities, and suburbs, where her family and friend live--and beyond. No injuries, fatalities, or major damages yet reported. Thank God.*
you're an unbelievable ACME Detectives. We think you're the first we never liked. Yeah, like she's part of the VILE gang. You think she could be both??
*is feeling grateful and blessed, as she gets ready for bed, at the end of this Remembrance/Memorial Day.*
*is enjoying some burgoo stew and some non-alcoholic mint juleps while waiting for the Kentucky Derby to start. ?
*has spent the last 4 days helping to provide security--and watching out for her VILE friends--at an exhibit called "SHINTO: The Discovery of the Divine in Japanese Art" at the Cleveland Museum of Art, from Apr. 9-June 30th.
*wishes all her friends at ACME and VILE a very Blessed and Happy Easter.*
*is back at home, in Ohio, and while trying on her new Easter dress for tomorrow, watched the end of the "Princess Diaries" and saw some very familiar San Francisco streets.*
*says a little prayer for the people of France before having sparking cranberry-grape juice, 1/2 chicken a la broche, with cilantro lime pesto, Romesco & Porchini mushroom sauce & French fries with harissa aioli from Cocotte on Hyde Street.* -

((IRL: @Lucy2... You may have to just start a new account (if the system lets you)... we don't know who all has admin access, so 'password recover emails' might not get seen or dealt with. If you do, I'd suggest a new account, and a series of posts linking to the old account. Keep in mind, we're in Minnesota, so cold is a thing... if you wanna trade, we're open to place tickets! We can't really do anything until we hear from the appeal guy... anytime between the 19th and December 5th, so in theory move-out could be end of December (unless it gets here before the end of this month) or maybe they can stay... no idea. So, the other place door... that's what we'd have to fit everything through.)) -

((So... the latest is that the woman who reported the folks to the police, called the guy who handled the appeal (after we left the room) and told him that if he doesn't make sure to get the folks out of the building, she'd make things difficult for him. The property manager told ma a few days ago, and ma told me today. So, anyone know what that would be called? Coercing, bribery, influence peddling? Would that invalidate the eviction? This is Section 8 housing, so low-income housing. The appeal decision should in theory get here next week or maybe Friday, and they can appeal again, maybe this one would be in real court... don't know. I will advise the folks contact legal aid and see what they say.))

((Correction: the parents are caving, they are planning for the move ON January 1st, without waiting to hear what the appeal decision is, and not willing to fight it. I stormed out of their place tonight (punched the call button for the elevator... they may have heard it), because I know they could win the second appeal hands down (they don't want "more of the stress from all this", they would discuss shit when I went to the bathroom tonight). I reminded them they may not get the entertainment center through the door to the apartment, we probably will have to take the claw legs off the table for the first time ever, but they have their heart set on it. ))

((My right middle finger, behind first knuckle, left a bit of skin on the button... I was that angry. They decided this without talking to me, saying they were "tired of the stress". They're set on a two bedroom apartment ($154 more than the current, at least), it's up to me if I want to move, they said. Once we leave this place (section 8/low-income housing, the waiting list is over 2 years), that's it... the building manager retires later 2025... she pulled a string to get me in here))

((So... my Facebook got password hacked, and the recovery options aren't working. And, over the last two days, haven't slept more than half an hour total, despite my trazodone. Had like 6 beers tonight, have a couple left, will take a full pill tonight, and hope to sleep. And, finished the application for the new place, probably will have to help the folks tomorrow.))

Did you know.....The original candy canes were straight sugar sticks that were often used to decorate Christmas trees. The first historical reference to the cane shape was in 1670, when the choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral in Germany bent the sugar sticks into the shape of a shepherd's staff. Candy canes remained white until the early 20th century when red stripes and peppermint flavor became popular.

((So... the folks called me upstairs to help figure out how to get their SSI paperwork to the new landlord... we were discussing it, when the landlord emailed that all three of us are denied... mostly the main thing was "poor rental history; insufficient income (they're on SSI); no credit file; if no judgment was rendered on them after they appealed the initial eviction notice, then they gave their 30 days notice, can they rescind that (this is Minnesota, ya shure, ya betcha) and stay?

Michelangelo wrote a poem about how much he hated painting the Sistine Chapel...One translation of the poem he sent to his friend begins: I’ve already grown a goiter from this torture, hunched up here like a cat in Lombardy(or anywhere else where the stagnant water’s poison).
maybe one of the curators could dress up like him
