back when I was in 4H we did a summer camp thing at this one campsite every year and there was this huge raccoon that lived there named rabies :3:

I give you the gift of friendship. Also gently caress I deleted all my other quote quoting from everyone in the thread.

Poop kitty: Eve is bronies in space but instead of ponies its space ships they obsess over.

Avs: poo poo sucks horoscopes are great though because they are written with a godly vagueness that anyone who reads it could interpret it as applying to them.



Okay now lady thread I need some advice. My new neighbor just moved in like 24 hours ago. And I was planning on introducing myself last night / today as they live right next to me. I am now however terrified to do so.

As throughout the day at random times I will hear her in the thralls of passion moaning so loud the whole apartment can hear. (It actually got some dogs outside to start barking at one point).

Now the thing is they're studio apartments, the walls aren't exactly paper thin, and I haven't heard anyone but her from the apartment. Shes done this like 5 times so far today and there isn't any way she doesn't know everyone can hear her. I've played some music stomped around the kitchen a bit and talked loudly while on the phone to kind of make the point the walls aren't thick here.

How the hell do I handle this? I mean sure I can understand having sex with or without others everyone does it, but its like all day long. What the hell is she doing in there? I haven't seen or heard anyone come and go and I live right next to the front door to the building so I hear everyone come and go. I'm terrified to go knock and say hello because now its like "Hi I'm your neighbor! I HEAR EVERYTHING." My initial thought was to say "Hi I'm your neighbor the walls here aren't exactly the thickest, so if I get too loud let me know, and I'll keep it down." But I think I'm beyond that now. I may still try that approach, but I mean holy poo poo. Who has time to get off / have sex that many times in a day? Especially not the weekend?

Thoughts on how to handle this? I'm thinking I may just walk out the door to "check my mail" at the same time they start to leave to introduce myself to avoid going over knocking on the door mid their whatever they're doing at random throughout the day.

I can respect that.

Here's the thing though. She has a sound system, that can go up fairly loud I've heard it. She chooses to leave it off while doing her coitus.

Also if men could make money doing camming I probably would have no shame and do it myself.

Alas, unless I dress up as a girl and put things in my butt for creepy old men that will never happen.

I can vouch for it. We had a family living under our patio furniture set back at my parent's place throughout the winter.

We opened it up when spring was coming and pulled off all the covers and like 8 raccoons came rushing out. We had to use a garden hose to chase them all away and off the deck. Scared the living crap out of my mom.

LADY POLL (although anyone else can answer too): what climate are you in/where is your thermostat? I had to turn mine from 64 to 68 due to possible freezing of husband. It's 62 at night, though, and 64 while we are at work.

I once asked this to my ESL conversation group and everyone said low 70s/high 60s and this guy from
Morocco was like 78.

Im in Chicago, it is 10F or lower here. I don't have a thermostat and the building's radiator doesn't kick in nearly enough. I'm robed, clothed, wearing socks slippers and still freezing my rear end off.

I have taken to heating the oven up and opening it up to try and get warmth to fill my apartment. As well as taking aluminum foil and building a vent hood around my radiator that i connected a fan to to summon heat towards me when it does grace me by turning on.

Its like 50 or lower in here.

I'm in an end-unit townhouse and the gap between my house and my neighbor's house is some sort of mega wind tunnel. It is horrifying, so I feel for you. Also I have a cat curled up with me but she is not snoring (yet).

65 F at night and when we're not here, 70 when we're chilling in the evenings after work or on weekends

It's like 4C/40F outside and my thermostat is set to 22C/70F. I'm terrible at the F/C conversion, so even though 22 is a little high, I have to have it at an even # and 20 is too low.

E: I also do not pay for heat (electric) and if I did I would likely keep it lower.

New theory: your new roommate is having constant sex because that's the only way she can keep warm.

I hate that type of house-weather because you just want to bake bread all day as an excuse to keep the oven on, but there's no way the bread will rise :(

I agree with your theory and holy poo poo i've baked 3 loaves of bread so far. I keep the dough warm in the oven. Preheat it to 250 and turn it off after i put the bread in.

I live in a duplex with big old iron radiators. My neighbors control the heat (it's a really old house and the set-up is kind of odd), but whatever they have it at seems fine. I think it's around 65 degrees? We have a space heater for super-cold nights, most of the time we just wear layers or build nests of blankets

A couple years ago we decided that we could keep the heat up or just buy these awesome fuzzy blankets from target. We chose the latter and that investment has paid off. There is one in every room of the house and they are amazing.

yeah in bed is fine for me. I have plenty of blankets. out of it is intolerable. My bathroom is at least 40.

I think the thermostat is in the basement I'm tempted to go down there and find it. I've gone down there before because I am on a single 15Amp breaker and if you run the toaster and the convection oven at the same time.. POP! So yeah there's that being the reason I don't have a space heater.

I'm in Texas and it's 31 right now. I don't really have a thermostat, my house only has one gas space heater. I've got it blasting and it's only got the temp up to 64 which is way too cold for me; I'd prefer 70+. I generally don't use the heater at night unless it's just ridiculously cold, I just worry about something bad happening when I'm sleeping.
