I'm currently learning Japanese and a thought occurred to me. Whenever people find out that you're bilingual they want you to say something in that language. My mind for one always goes blank, how about you? What do or would you...

Hello fellow mylotters, I'm living in a two bedroom basement apartment with my boyrfiend. The bedrooms have normal windows, but the living room and kitchen have basement windows that don't open. We moved in last March and found...

dance4life I agree with you, but I'm concerned about your situation too. If there's a fire not only are you in danger, but the other rooms around you. What kind of businesses are below you? I hope it's not a restaurant. I hope one day you will move out of there too and...

dance4life I understand where you're coming from, but is it not also our duty to report an illegal apartment that could in the future, if things aren't fixed, endanger someone's life? The ceiling height is a fire safety code she's breaking. Now only endangering the lives...

dance4life That's going to be our first attempt, trying to let her know why it isn't up to code. Considering her track record though, I don't think she'll be very reasonable.

dance4life Thanks for your insight. This would be the best way for everyone I think, but I can't help feeling that she isn't going to see it this way. She's a bit unreasonable and won't even talk about it and just gives me dirty looks every time I see her. I would like...

dance4life That's what I really want to do, but I really can't afford to lose our security deposit either. If we break the lease she'll try and keep it.

dance4life That sounds like a good idea. Then regardless of how things turn out, we won't be in an uncomfortable and sticky situation.

dance4life We were afraid that it might be grandfathered in, but the house was built in the late 1950s. We're afraid of breaking the lease and moving out, because we don't want to have to sue her for our security deposit. It's a lot of time and money that we don't have....

dance4life We signed a lease, but I'm not sure how to determine whether or not it was legal. A real estate agent showed us the apartment, and was there when we signed the lease. It's a bit frustrating because if we were told before hand about the smoke we never would...

dance4life I wasn't aware of a local tenant association, I'll get started looking that up. I don't want to make an enemy of the landlord, but she hasn't left me much choice. According to the laws that we've gone through so far, she can be fined several thousand dollars...

dance4life Thanks for the advice, and the googling info. Sometimes you need to know the right words to find the thing you're lookig for. I forgot to mention the lady who lives above me is my landlady though.

dance4life Maybe you can have a little bit of both. The bakery at the local grocery store had cupcakes all together and then frosted them like a cake (all one piece) so that you could write on it. Then you can get more cupcakes separate for everyone to share. I know that...

dance4life At my old job one of my bosses smelled bad all the time. She claimed to be allergic to deodorant, but it was really bad some days. Finally, my second boss told her that she smells a little bad...trying to be nice about it. She didn't talk to her for 2 weeks...

dance4life Okay, I can accept not talking about stupid arguments. I'm only worried that we won't be able to talk about "important" arguments in the future. But I think you're right, I'll let this one go...pick your battles, right?

dance4life You're definitely right about that. This isn't the first stupid argument we've had. I feel like it keeps happening because he won't talk about it and we never work it out. After a week he pretends like it never happened.

dance4life That's a great quote and I think it's a really good idea to put that in the kitchen. Yes it's normal that we cook and wash dishes alternately, but the kitchen is not very large so only one person can be in it at a time, comfortably. We are both working and...
