There were always random cockroaches we would find in my high school in northern Indiana. I've seen a few in the schools I work in. What is probably worse is usually schools have rodent (mice and rat) problems. They really are disgusting. Of course cuts to custodial staff and funding don't help with schools being clean. Add students who hoard food and god only knows in their lockers and staff who keep food in their rooms and offices and it's a virtual buffet.

My high school allowed anyone 20 and under to go. That rule being because 21+ plus people could legally obtain alcohol. I do not understand this 19 year old thing. Our rule was basically so we could bring people who had graduated ahead of us. This is stupid.

I know I'm going to offend the animal lovers but this is easily solved with a pellet gun or a .22 pistol and having squirrel stew for supper.

I've wanted to have elf ears for years. That being said I wouldn't have anyone other then a licensed board certified plastic surgeon do the procedure. Even if I could afford it I would still need to seriously think about it. Upper ear cartilage can certainly heal improperly and cause deformity. That and I know that area does not heal quickly for me. My industrial piercing I got in September of 2010 is just now finally completely healing on the upper piercing.

I really hope Jill works from home otherwise if I were her office cleaning staff and I read that demeaning comment I would make sure no one ever cleaned her office ever again. Custodians and janitors do a VERY important job. If you've ever worked in a place with a "clean your own" mess policy then you probably know how important paying someone to clean can be.

Greyman the whole house which I was referring just screamed that someone bought it and used all of thier leftover construction materials to "fix it up." Most of which was not exactly up to code here.

I don't get how having what was obviously a salves "hey someone is throwing this away" stove that was obviously too small for the spot it was occupying in a three bedroom ranch makes me rich.

In fact the house we ended up buying didn't have any appliances, other rhen the fridge left full without power in the hor Chicagoland summer, the bathroom sink plumbing was incomplete, the gararage door opener was stolen by the seller right before closing and the man door for the garage was kicked in by said seller. Let me not forget the cut electrical lines to the 220 outlets and
The medicine cabinet that was apparently held up by magic and paint.

Oh and thr seller tried to move the fridge out and it spilled it wonderfully purtrid contents on the floor of thr kitechen, laundry, and down the back steps. I have never smelled such a stench in my life.

High standards, no, just realistic for the area we were house shopping in. The "Fun House" was also 15k more then the others we has looked at that were similiar.

It is AMAZING the crazy things you find when house shopping. A few of the more bizarre ones we found (just on ONE house):
- Bathroom walls outfitted in vinyl siding
- wood floor on addition that was bouncy
- every outlet cover was crooked
- every window was trimmed out in pieces that were crooked and did not match up to each other
- the crazy wallpaper mural from the 70's of a forest silhouette with a red orange sunset behind it
- apartment sized stove in a ranch house

I cant even imagine what the electrical was like in that house. Hubby joked that to clean the bathroom we could just hose it off. We nicked named it the "Fun House." Needless to say we did not buy it.

Melissa: Yeah the ease of storage and "download this NOW" options also are very appealing. Though, I think I will stick to buying LPs still. :)
