I learned to swim as a kid. I just could never beat that skinny Chinese bitch in my class.

Took me waaaay too long to get

Chula Vista

Funny, when we were together this past weekend it was almost like when we had first started dating (minus the constant bunny ****ing). No stress, lots of laughing, and really comfortable with each other. It'd been 6 weeks since we'd seen each other. Hands down the longest we'd been apart since we first met back in 1979.

I just got off the phone with her and we were actually flirting a little. As we were saying bye she slipped and let loose a "Goodnight Hon".

Getting divorced might just be the best thing that's ever happened to our relationship (the two kids aside).

Update on the house fire - I later learned that my tenant that started the fire was fired from work the same day, so he now has no money to find a new residence, nor money to pay me rent, nor to pay me the $600 he owes for his electric bill. The worst bit is that he's stuck with me for the foreseeable future and every day he stays is a continued risk of burning the house down.

To top off all this good news, I got a check engine light and my furnace died so I'm sleeping in the cold until I pay for repairs next week.

Not my favorite month. Just taking it one day at a time and I'm grateful the place hasn't gone up in flames yet. Got to focus on the positive.

How soon until you can legally evict him?

We have no written agreement, he was just a friend who asked if he and his unemployed fiance could live upstairs in my home. Technically he pays month to month so I could give him a 30 day notice to vacate.

He's one of my only remaining friends after I left my abusive spouse so I hope to maintain the friendship. I think I'm going to give him a verbal 60 days and then a legal printed notice at 30 days, as I understand it takes time to find a job.

He claims he's good for the money so I don't want to damage that potential or the friendship. I'm just concerned for all of our safety every day he stays. I'd rather not have my house burn down or die in a fire.

I know you’re pissed that he overloaded your house’s circuitry and flipped the breaker back but it also sounds like your wiring is old. These days almost everybody has to use power strips. No money is an issue but friendship is another. Can’t you talk to him about fire safety and be like I know it’s inconvenient but your room can only handle two or three appliances at a time? I think if he gets it now it should be cool.

I appreciate your input. I had building inspectors and electricians thoroughly examine everything. The wiring is all brand new - I had the floor wired specifically for him. And they confirmed that everything was 100% to code and that it was his gross negligence that caused the fire.

The fireman, the electrician, and my fireman co-worker confirmed that he was overloading the circuit and that space heaters should NEVER be plugged into thin gauge extension cords, especially if they are in turn plugged into ungrounded outlet adapters.

He runs the heaters 24/7 with no one home to supervise (for his cats). A single 15A heater was confirmed to push the circuit beyond 80% of its max load and he has 20-odd other things Daisy chained onto the circuit.

Even the massive fire hazard aside, he lives in absolute filth and treats my home like his dorm room. I'm exhausted spending all my evenings cleaning up after him. (I've tried asking him to do it but he is useless.)

It's also unnerving that I have no privacy - they sit in my dining room and stare at me while I have guests over and I have to sit in my car if I want to make a phone call. I haven't felt comfortable entertaining for the better part of a year.

It will be an incredible relief to have a clean home to myself again once he's finally out. (Sorry for the rant.)

I feel you, man

Company and fish

It also sounds like y’all are just on different ends of the courtesy spectrum.

I’m not trying to put you on blast but I’m just wondering if you’ve talked to him directly about **** or do you just expect him to have enough common sense?

I’m so direct it freaks people out but it gets things out in the open. Once you pass a certain age it’s hard to accept new habits and new people in your ****.
