Ok, I am starting to feel a little worried about this move. Roomate seems real nice guy. He calls last week and told me that he was robbed. Suspects his friend that moved out.

In the meantime, I am packing and having stuff shipped over there.

He just called again and said that he could not pay the rent and could I give him more money and he will cover me the next month? I already gave him a 750.00 security and I am not even living there yet.
now he asks that I to pay another 700 or rent will be late this month - and I will not even be there until next month?

I trust him. I do. But is this the kind of stuff that is going to keep happening? How do I know that he will have money next month?

I will be broke again. And I have to pay the movers yet. And gas and tolls.
There's red flags all OVER that.
No housing option that doesn't involve a roommate?

Just be thankful that you're not already sitting in Monday morning! :biggrin2:
(I barely slept last night, had to go into the city sometime after 1:00am to meet a bus. Got home well after 2:00... 'hi Monday, how the frick are you?' :sleepy: )
You know, Flake, when I'm having a really crappy day, I always think about how, for you on the other side of the globe, it's already over. It makes me feel better. It helps me know I'm not going to be living in that crappy moment forever. I am kind of ready to get to Monday and get it over with. It's always madness in my office on Mondays, especially payroll weeks, which this Monday happens to be. And so much going on. You were out late last night girl. Hope you were picking up someone special.

That's worrisome n_n.

I think you shouldn't give him more money!

Happy Monday!!

Hope all had a great weekend. I was off from work Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I and Juho did a trip Friday/Saturday. We stayed
overnight at Juho's cousin's house and came back home Saturday. Why we did this trip was that I needed a bookcase so I get my all
SK books home. So we went to IKEA to buy that bookcase and found a great one. Now the bookcase it's piled up and finally I have all
my books in the shelf. Juho took it well that I own so many SK stories. He realize that his girlfriend is a hug fan ;-D

Weather was rainy last week. But today's been sunny and warm. :cool2:

Have a great day everyone. Take care, be well and stay safe.

This just sounds too dodgy to me, there must be another way that doesn't involve giving someone you hardly know large amounts of cash, it just seems all wrong.

I think anyone who travels from Finland to Maine for the first King Kon deserves the title of 'huge fan'! :cheerful::encouragement::love:

Not here! Today is Victoria Day in Canada. I did have a bad night, though. I woke up at 2:30 a.m. with acid in my throat (forgot to take my Pantoloc yesterday). Went downstairs only to realize that the power had gone off.

It finally came back on around 2:30 p.m. today so it was off for 12 hours. Manitoba had a big storm last night with very high winds and we had about an inch of snow on the ground.

After chewing up a big handful of Rolaids and then taking my Pantoloc, followed by lots of water, I managed to get back to sleep and slept until noon (just getting up once to go to the bathroom).

So, overall, a pretty unproductive day, but I will get a load of laundry in soon and make something good for supper.

Happy Monday! Hope it was good for everyone, even if it was not a day off

And gas and tolls.

I read this as "and gas and trolls".

Arrrrrrrgh! Thanks, I called about the rent thing and he said it is taken care of. I don't feel like talking to him right now. I probably did have other options, but I was in a panic to get something done and have a place to live. It will be fine. not forever, but fine.

Someone tell a joke! Not one thing went right today. Woke up late and in a bad mood and pissed because of the apt stuff. The last thing I need is to worry about rent again. Nope Nope.

Got shower before work. Dropped the soap 4 times. I broke it. slipped. Got out of shower and forgot to bring the towel in. Broke deodorant putting in on. Toothbrush fell on the floor. Many curses.
Go to get dressed. Zipper broke in my pants. Had to run back in bathroom but forgot I put my socks on and got them all wet on the towel-less floor. aggg! the worst! Out the door. Traffic and 2 accidents to get around on the way in.
Big trash truck one lane road. Traffic backed up behind it for a mile. Home. called about mattress pick up, they can't find my order. He did after I repeated the invoice number and my phone number 12 times. Helloo. McFly!

I am going to try and cheer up. Sometimes you just have to laugh.

I will be Scarlett. Tomorrow is another day.
