They have deadbolts/doorknob combination sets that you can re-key yourself in about 30 sec https://www.homedepot.com/p/Kwikset-Juno-Satin-Nickel-Exterior-Entry-Door-Knob-and-Single-Cylinder-Deadbolt-Combo-Pack-Featuring-SmartKey-Security-991J-15-SMT-CP/100597328?MERCH=REC-_-searchViewed-_-NA-_-100597328-_-N&
Thanks for the recommendation. If I was a landlord, I could see the benefit to those adjustable locks but I don't want to incur additional expense and then risk receiving grief when explaining the technology to the old lady. During my short stay with that other old lady, I somehow broke the hinge on her toilet seat. I used to tipttoe around the house because she was very strict about noise so I replaced the seat with the now common and more expensive quiet type. She was upset when she saw it. "I just want one like the one you broke!" She demanded, while forcing the seat to close. "Don't worry," I said, "If you keep forcing the seat down like that, eventually it will be just like the one you had before."
I'm not sure what you mean. I was explaining why I don't want to purchase a more expensive re-programmable lock for this old lady. Another consideration is that if the re-programmable lock malfunctions, it could cause additional problems. In the case of the toilet seat, if the soft close fails it becomes just like a regular, cheaper toilet seat. The other lady was prickly by nature, her husband saw the value in it and told her to settle down.
Once a tenant's lease runs out they have no rights as far as accessing the apartment - in fact the landlord could have used the security deposit to defray her costs in having to get rid of the old tenant's junk.
The month to month lease began at the start of this month. The landlord allowed the girl to move in with only a security deposit and a promise of rent because she was desperate for a tenant. The girl left after only 3 days. My willingness to move in at the middle of the month afforded the old lady the opportunity to offer the girl a resolution that would hopefully end the harassing phone calls she was receiving. The old lady should have accepted my offer to be present for the exchange. It's done and aside from mentally spooking me, there probably wasn't much damage.Dr. Octopus said:

$25 is many cans of beans to a homeless person. The local hardware stores no longer carried the same brand seat in the cheaper style so I knew there was going to be a complaint no matter what I did. I'm staying at a gay lodge right now, though. In the short time that I spent with that other old lady, I was wrongly blamed for all sorts of stuff. There were a ton of crazy rules but I would have gladly stayed there if only she could have continued cooking. My health has been rather poor, injuries no longer healing, kidneys in stage 3 on recent blood test, etc. Being homeless will be challenging as my body is more demanding than most.belljr said:
I don't think there is going to be a payoff, at least not of a sexual nature. I'm not into the GILF scene. I'm completely sober and not really interested in girls at all. A couple years ago I was a shrewd strip club negotiator. I started a thread about that and got my account perma-banned within minutes.This feels like a poor man's Arizona Ron thread - here for the payoff
Or they were a couple of chaps from England talking about their currency vs the Euro.
Sounds about right. I recall they were excited about getting 25 pounds out of one car. As I said, I am jealous of any one with mechanical skills. Regardless of how annoying loud modified cars are, they could be doing worse things. I can reflect on all the times when I was a nuisance to others and it is my own current issues that are leaving me so susceptible to being bothered.
I've never been more underweight. 6'7 and 175. When I was counting calories, 3,500 seemed to be my maintenance level but I can go well above that without gaining if I'm active. Last few years have been rough with IBS. I'm still trying to figure out a healthy diet that works for me.
Too late. I'm already living with the old lady and now I'm emotionally invested. She shares her meals on wheels and any time I do something, even just putting a screw in place, she will sweetly ask how much she owes me. I told her from the start that it would only be a short stay. She hopes I will change my mind. I hate to disappoint but I gotta do what's best for me.
Lol, sadly this is no fairy tale with 3somes and 8balls. It's raw, pathetic and real. I don't expect many people to be interested. I passed through a homeless camp this afternoon and saw a lady resting in the tent while her dude was scavenging supplies from the bushes. He paused and asked, "You live near here?" "Yea, just passing through," I replied. This trail is a shortcut to the 99 cent store. He nodded but once I was a little ways along, he started shouting. I couldn't make out the words over the din of the highway but it sounded aggressive. I didn't bother to turn around.
Isn't it better that I seek attention here in this fantasy world rather than exhaust the people around me in real life? Also, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one sticking it to the man.
