| Is your refrigerator running?Apparently my old fridge grew legs and walked out of the apartment complex. I’ve had a heck of a time with my fridge since I moved in, in June. It just wasn’t keeping food as cold as I like it… or cold enough not to spoil (I lost a lot of milk and fresh produce). I talked to the super about it several times. When I signed the lease he offered to sell me the refrigerator for $100, promising it was in excellent condition. Two weeks later I was already tired of dealing with it. It’s been two months now. I asked him several times to fix it. He didn’t have time. So, I decided to get a new fridge and sell this one on craigs list. I found a buyer who was supposed to pick the fridge up tonight (Friday). Being a single girl living alone in the basement apartment I decided I didn’t want to have two guys whom I’ve never met come into my apartment to pick up this refrigerator. Last night, after much debate, I decided to move the fridge into the hallway. Only the superintendent, my neighbor and myself have the keys to get into this hallway. It’s full of clutter (kind of the super’s work space). I thought it would be a safe enough place for them to come pick up the fridge. I opened the door when I came home from happy hour to find the fridge was gone. No note. Nothing. I have no idea who took it to where. It’s a good thing the guys who were going to buy it had a change of plans. They would have come all of this way for a now non-existent unit! I don’t know who really steals a fridge! I left a voice mail for the superintendent saying he can keep it if he’s the one who took it but I’d like my $100 back. |

| Is that your sling-shot?The other day I was in the computer lab at work. A female client, probably in her mid to late 50’s, was using the computer to look for jobs on line. I had on a pair of pants that has a hard time staying up. I walked out of the room to meet with a client. When I came back the woman asked, “Was that your slingshot I saw?” I knew what she was asking. I told her “it wasn’t” for two reasons. 1) I was actually wearing granny panties that day; 2) If it had been a “slingshot” she wouldn’t have been able to see it. Her response was, “If I was your age I would wear them too”. As though I weren’t telling the truth! To make it even more awkward, the room was filled with men! We were the only two women. I see these men on a weekly basis. She had no qualms with them over hearing our conversation about my underwear. What an embarrassing moment. |

| Roach Motel?This was just so funny I had to share it with everyone.... I cut and paste my response to Joe and Katie about the roaches I caught "doing the deed" in my bathroom Tuesday night: Danilo actually killed them. I've had two roaches in the shower with me... so now I check the whole area before I get in. I saw what I thoguht was a huge roach. I shouted and Dani came to kill it. That's when we realized it was two!! While he was killing those a third one ran towards him and started to crawl up his leg! I was screaming. He was dancing all around. I'm sure it was quite a sight to behold. I laughed so hard. They are all three dead now. |

| Another article we would never find in KansasPrevent Window Falls This Summer: Make Sure Window Guards Are In Place Five children have fallen in the past three months Open windows offer relief from the summer heat, but for kids in a vertical city, they also pose hazards. To prevent needless falls, the Health Department is urging New Yorkers to make sure their window guards are in place. City law requires apartment building owners to install window guards in units with children under age 11. Likewise, anyone caring for kids age 10 and under must inform the landlord and install approved window guards. |
