Is it a thing in America/Florida that landlords can make cleaning inspections like that?

Apartment/Rental inspections are a thing in the US, and probably other places as well.  (If you own your home, they don't usually do inspections like that unless someone reports your home as a health hazard--think of the show Hoarders--or if you're a Foster parent, since they like to make sure the kids you're fostering are in a good environment, or similar situations.) It makes sense that if you're renting you should not trash the place and if you're in a complex that your mess doesn't attract rodents or insects that your neighbors would also have to deal with. That's why a deposit is usually required for moving in.  It's a cleaning deposit that can be refunded IF they decide that you didn't leave a mess or break anything when you move out.  The last apartment I lived in, I made sure to document everything from the marshmallow smashed on the carpet to the boogers on the walls (yes, the previous tenants were disgusting) especially since we'd been told the apartment had been "professionally" cleaned before we moved in.  I took photos with a time/date stamp on my digital camera, which made them easily accessible to show anyone who needed to see them.  So when my roommates and I asked for the carpet to be cleaned, we had proof that it was already gross when we got there.

That being said, BC, it sounds like they're being super nit-picky and sneaky about how they're doing it. It makes me wonder if they're trying to come up with a reason to evict you so they can charge a new tenant more rent than they can legally raise your current rate to.

I finally got my hands on a sercret of Nimh DVD from Tradera and got it today and it's region 1, which means I can't play it on my blueray as we're region 2. Nowhere in the add does it says its region 1 and not on the cover which were the only ones one pictured. There is a small text about it on the disc. I am so dissapointed. I wrote to the seller, but I guess he wont do much. Luckily it wasn't too much but I am so bummed .

I had that happen when I ordered one of the seasons of Fruits Basket.  The seller said there was nothing they could do about it, even though their listing said NOTHING about it being region 2 (I'm in America so I needed region 1).  So they got a scathingly bad review on Amazon from me and I posted on the listing that it was Region 2 and not to order it if in the US so nobody else would get stuck with it like I did.  I flagged them as a seller I won't purchase from again.  I also reported the listing as having incorrect information so I hope that I lost them a number of sales.  All they had to do was say, "Send it back and we'll refund you."  That IS something they could do, but they're greedy buggers who don't care about running a good business.

the whole DVD region thing is very weird to me. is it a copyright thing or is it like how i have to buy an adapter to use my hair dryer in Europe?

From what I understand, it's about the companies who make players/discs wanting to make more money.  If I can order a DVD player for $5 from China, why would I pay $75 for one in America? Although, with the internet and sites like Temu is that even a real excuse anymore?  "Song of the South" was not released in America.  But it was released in Europe, in PAL format, not NTSC, so even I bought one, I wouldn't be able to watch it in America without the correct player.  There are some Blu-ray players that you can set to be region free so they play everything, but they're definitely pricier than region locked Blu-ray players. But there is really no good reason for why they can't all be the same.

For everyone with OneDrive issues, does this help?

My trivial complaint: Every year I make Pokemon coloring pages for Pokemon Day (Feb 27).  I'm SUPER behind this year and don't know if I'll be able to finish the Kalos batch.  Even if I finish the regular Kalos Pokemon, I don't know if I'll finish the Mega Evolutions that should be with that set, since that's when that gimmick was released.
It just seems like every time I try to work on them, too many other things come up and I don't have any time to devote to it.

People are STUPID.

We're building a new library.  There are fences around the library with signs that say "KEEP OUT" and "AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY."  There are port-o-potties outside.  There are big cranes and piles of lumber and metal bars.  There is scaffolding with people in orange on it.

So of course we've had multiple patrons just walk on in because "We saw people inside, so we figured that meant you were open"and then asking where they need to return their books--Blatantly ignoring the saws and other construction parafanelia ALL OVER THE FLOOR.

The people inside are CONSTRUCTION WORKERS! 

Seriously, why are you bothering to come to the library?  You CLEARLY can't READ! 

 

If they wanted more money for it they should have started the bid higher or placed a reserve price on it.

the G3 Balloon setup is for the Pick A Pony station that was at the Disney Store at WDW in Orlando.  You could build  or mix and match a Princess outfit or a souvenir Minnie outfit for a pony

I was working at WDW when they had that and got pieces for each of my nieces and myself.  I think I still have a set somewhere, unless I gifted them to my friend's daughters.     Didn't find out until later that the feet on the ponies offered in the pick your own set were actually slightly smaller than the regular releases.  How do I know?  The shoes only fit the pick your owns.

They also had a setup like that for Mr. Potato Head and they had a Teacup "ride" accessory that worked for both and a Mickey balloon in each section.  The difference between the balloons was that the Potato Head one was red and the Pony one was pink, but they worked for both.  They may have had a couple of other small pieces that worked for both but I remember getting extras of those pieces to put with the other sets I was getting.

It's supposed to start snowing today or tomorrow.  I know other people love snow, but I do not!   

I'm going to try this next year to be better about what I eat and to exercise more.  I'm doing this for myself and no one else so it's not about shame because of how other people view me but about pride for me to do what I set out to do and to (hopefully) look and feel fabulous when I get to the point I want to be at.

I want everyone on here to feel good about their goals and not feel shame for anything they are (or aren't) working towards.  Everyone is awesome and I hope everyone is able to remember that, even on days that things don't go the way we want them to.

We CAN do it!
