On another note, kinda curious what "doing some weird stuff" means...

1. Spending two hours in the bathroom pooping. I guess it's just a bowel issue though. But it was weird to the rest of us.

2. I have a very, very nice dining room set. I purchased it with a small inheritance that I got. It is sort of my pride and joy, in that I always wanted a nice dining room set for people to gather round the table, etc. It cost a lot and it has quite a bit of sentimental value.

Instead of using a BOTTLE OPENER that was just a few feet away, he opened a beer bottle on the edge of my table, gouging it. When I told him we needed to talk about it, via text, he began to avoid us like the plague....to the point where he snuck out his bedroom window to come and go.

I talked to him, finally, and he was quite apologetic, and I asked him to NOT use the bedroom window as a doorway. Things were fine after the convo. Never charged him or anything. Didn't yell at him or berate him. IDK why he felt like he needed to avoid us to such an extent.

3. 2 hour long showers....might be related to #1 above. Not that "weird," but definitely annoying when someone else wants hot water

As an update:

Had an exterminator come and it seems as if the problem is taken care of....there is a "wait and see" period. We used heat. House was heated to 177 degrees and it stayed hot all night long. It actually made all of us feel sick, so I'm sure it made bugs sick and die because the 177 degrees was sustained for 6 hours.

We are all sick from the chemicals (family of asthmatics and people with COPD), and so that sucks, as there may be an ER visit, doctor visit, meds, etc...costing more

The cost to have the treatment was $2540.00 Pretty pricey! And then, my family of 6 has been eating out the last couple days because we are all feeling sickly and I haven't really been up to cooking meals. Also, the day of extermination, we had to eat out....

The woman who was living in our house (for 3 days) is now in a hotel. We paid for a 2 weeks for her to stay there. After that, I think she's essentially homeless. So I feel like a real biotch for doing that to her. Husb really wanted her out though. After we dropped her off, that VERY DAY I went all over town looking for her.

However, not only did she bring in bedbugs, but she brought in a SERIOUS infestation. The exterminator couldn't believe how bad it was for just being in the house for 3 days. And we were still thinking of having her stay.

BUT....I saw LICE in her hair. She's very short, and I asked her to stay in the one room to try to contain the bugs, so I would go to the room a few times a day and give her food, water, etc. And I could SEEEEE the lice!!

So, I asked her...."Is there anything else that we need to deal with and get cleaned up so that we can move on?" She gave me a DIRTY look. Acted like she didn't know what I was saying. So I said, "Do you have lice?" She got huffy and gave me a dirty look and pulled herself up in a haughty way and made me feel so bad for asking, that I changed the subject. She never affirmed or denied, but I saw them, so she had them. (They are hard to spot, but I made a point of looking closely with my best spectacles, and sure enough....)

So, based on the fact that she never told us in the first place about the bed bugs....and on the fact that she didn't seem to want to admit to lice, with admission being the first step to getting help, combined with the fact that we were all sick as a result of this fiasco, we decided it was best to send her on her way.

I'm not a jerk. I could have helped her with a step up....could have gotten her and her environment cleaned up and helped her replace all stuff that would have been thrown away if she stayed....and she would have been able to take an exterminator bill with a new address to work and gotten her job back (her job let her go BECAUSE of bedbugs. Apparently, told her 2 weeks ago that until she brings in a bill showing it was cleaned up, she couldn't come back to work)

But I won't go through all of that with someone who hides the truth from me on many occasions. I mean...jeez. We already had a tough convo about bedbugs. Can't get much worse than that. What's she got to lose to admit to lice and agree to do the treatment??

yehh most weeks we atleast hit the first one and at the weekeneds we can hit 2/3 depending how busy town is :)

That's great news :) Often when I buy something from someone who works on commissions, I will ask them when the best time to make the purchase would be....they might be far away from their "goal" one week, but close the next.

Bubble up - I booked today off work to go to a new bank and open an account, so instead of getting up at 03.30 I only had to get up just before 08.00, and I had a day of not being in work.

Bubble down, I didn't get a good result with my bank, and I've just discovered work has put today through as abscent rather than a holiday day off so I just lost out on a days wage.

Awww....that sucks about your job. What a load of crap that they didn't count it as a holiday, but....still good to have a day off and do things you want to do and an unexpected "relax" day

Bubble up: I ordered a new desk and chair and they arrived today! This is my first time actually buying office furniture for myself which is crazy seeing as I spend 90% of my waking hours at a desk/computer.

Bubble down: The chair is too high and the desk is too low. It's manageable, but makes this purchase fall short of a perfect decision.

All I can say is that it's a good thing you ordered it NEW. Learning a lot about my issue of late, and buying things USED is a major risk factor. And a desk and chair is the first place I noticed the little critters....ugh

Can you adjust the chair??
