Talked to them a little while ago, they're getting the lease packet put together for me now. Apparently my credit is better than I thought..

That's awesome dude. Credit is weird though. I bought a house and my credit score went up. :confuoot:

Hah, that is weird.

My credit isn't great - my score is in the low 600s - but the only negative entries on it now are from old medical debt.

I may have been screwed in another month or so - my student loans come out of deferment sometime this month, which will significantly increase the minimum monthly payments being shown on my credit.

Oh don't worry, that smell will very quickly be displaced by :420: smoke. And a lot of farts, since there's a ton of taco places around there (including one that's open 24/7).

Downside: I thought I was getting a 2nd floor unit. Turns out this one is on the 3rd (top) floor. :doh: But there's a lot of trees around the building, so hopefully electric won't be $rape$. I'll just have to figure out where the hell to go if a tornado drops by to say hello... probably the bathroom in the fitness center..

poo poo, dude, I'll take 3rd floor over garden level! At least with 3rd (top) floor you won't have to worry about people thudding around above you; that's your job now.

The heat is exactly what I'm worried about. I like to keep the ac slightly warmer than "meat locker". There's no ceiling fans either, though I own a couple of floor-standing fans.

I've always preferred a middle floor. Bottom floor means you have a greater chance of someone breaking in, and a lot more insects. Middle floor, yeah, you get people above you, but you're also insulated against both heat and cold a bit, so you wind up with a lower electric bill. Top floor offers no protection if a tornado decides to drop by and cause trouble, that entire floor is just gonna get blown off of the building.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each floor, so its probably best not to worry about it.

We did not have air conditioning because I live in Canada, and all the windows were on one side of the condo building so it was swelteringly hot with no cross-breeze even with the windows open.

A few times I had to rig up stuff like swamp coolers because I was afraid for the health of my cat.

It was pretty nice in the winter though, I never touched the thermostat and it never ran. I have to assume the American refugees on the floor below kept their thermostat jacked at "temperature of the sun."

Also, the insurance company claims there is no damage to the fuse box, so my truck might be repairable. On one hand, I might get to keep my rolling plastic shitbox, but with electrical issues cropping up all the time. On the other hand I was all psyched to fund myself a cheap mazda 6 with a stick. :(

People are finally starting to get that Mazda is the new cheap Toyota/Honda etc and it's nice to see cars with a semblance of personality to them. We still have my wife's '05 6i that we will probably drive forever because it works every time and there isn't a lot of cash value in the thing. She's had it for over 8 years.

What kind of phone?

I just bought my daughter a brand loving new iphone se 64, last one in the store, and she had it for 6 days before losing it. This is after 2-1/2 years of owning a dumb phone, never breaking it or losing it.

The school checked the video footage and nobody got in to her locker during the time she told them to. Now they're checking to see if she actually put the phone in there that morning, which she probably didn't. She was confident that she did but at this point it looks like it fell out of her pocket between the car and school, and she was in morning zombie mode so she didn't notice until 1PM around lunchtime. She's an 8th grader in her last 2 weeks of junior high so she's halfway to summer vacation already.

I don't know about you, but I treasure things I am given as gifts. Some people just don't respect things period, whereas sometimes mistakes just happen. I've never lost a phone, but things have definitely fallen out of my pocket without me noticing for a couple hours.

My 14-year old daughter got an iPhone for her last birthday in November, but it was my 4s when I pried a 5 out of the woodwork for free from work. She's perfectly happy with it as long as it plays YouTube videos. She's also aware of what happens when she loses her stuff - she's lost a Nintendo DS and her MP3 player, and neither got replaced until she bought her own (used) 3Ds (she just kept bugging my wife to borrow her iPhone...)
Oh, and first thing I did was make sure that Find My iPhone was on, and added her to iTunes/iCloud Family.
