About Me

My photo
I have a Bachelor's in Psychology, a Master's in Human Relations, and a Ph.D. in telling people what to do. I raise children, dogs, cats, and hermit crabs and cultivate crabgrass and pretty weeds. I am teaching myself to cook, not because I love to cook but because I love to eat. I love to travel, read, and take pictures; I also like to write, so you'll get to read a lot about all the aforementioned subjects plus about anything else I happen to feel like sharing with you. I'll take all your questions and may even give some back with answers if you're lucky and I'm feeling helpful (or bored.)

Are you kidding me?

What I really want to tell my renters:

Look, I know it's hot. Half the country has been and continues to be under an extreme heat wave this summer. But it's August - do you really think it's going to magically get cooler? August is the hottest month out of the year for most of the U.S. I am so sick of hearing people whine and complain about how hot it is. The fact is that you have air conditioning, and yet you still sit and bitch about how hot you are. I am terribly sorry that ONE room on the farthest side of the house from the condenser/blower is not cooling well enough to your liking, but when the temp is 109 degrees F outside, you should be huddled around the fridge anyway. There is nothing I can do about ONE room not cooling as well as the rest. The REST of the house is cool enough for you, and the air is BLOWING in that ONE room, so the problem is OBVIOUSLY that THAT ONE ROOM is too far from the A/C to cool adequately in this extreme heat. I am not replacing the air conditioner simply because you are from Maryland and you want to live in a frozen cave in the middle of Oklahoma. If you really want to cool off, try dropping 150+ pounds of the lard that pads your spoiled little bones. And don't call me again about this issue.

Sincerely,
Your landlord
