Nto sure this is the right combination, but I know that when I am angry, I am not a peace with myself and what is around me.
In the moment, I am very angry at my landlord. I have waited a long time for some answers, and today, at long last, I heard from three people, one after the other. I am to be sent papers to fill out for a transfer to another apartment. I have to get a doctor's note as to why I don't like looking out my window to a rooftop with pigeons and all the crap that goes along with them. I have been fearful of opening my window because of the germs that seem to be rampant outside it. It is impossible to live in an apartment and not have fresh air. My two fans just blow around hot and 'used' air.
Thanks for letting me share and vent!

Hang in there Caressa. Do what you have to do, to make things right for yourself. My driveway was really old and needed replacing. I saved up the money and had it replaced at the end of last summer. I did all the things "they" say to do before hiring someone and even a friend of mine had this person for their driveway. By March this year there were large cracks across three of the largest slabs and the middle seam all the way down the driveway is cracked and pulled away. Since March, I have made several calls to this contractor (no return call), wrote a certified letter, complained to the BBB. Nothing. Then I got the new phone books, and I thought I would look him up to see if he is still in business. He has this very expensive ad, only he re-named his company (same address and phone though). Yep..I got a little angry. I don't know if I have any recourse...but I'm gonna find out. I hate the thought of going thru the court system, and I really don't want to...I just want him to fix it....but I am going to do what I have to do. I not only worked hard for that money and scrimped and saved...it is the right thing to do. Thanks ....Jeanne

I feel anger and peace do go together. You get angry and it distrups your peace and serenity
I am sorta going thru the same thing with landlords issue. My kitchen floor is comng up b/c of a water leak that is underneath and behind the stove. Hubby tore it apart along with landlord and we dont' know where its coming from, but said he would bring a plummer out. That was 4 months ago!! Don't have the money to replace or hire a plummer to do the floor, but I know full well that mold is growing behind the stove. ugh.
Gotta do what ya gotta do to make it right for YOU in order to feel peaceful once again.
Hey Caressa, Have you thought of putting those fake owls on the window ledger from the outside, here the stores uses them and the fake spikes too to drive the piegons away. Just a thought.

It just isn't my balcony my friend, the pigeons are on the roof outside my apartment. I have an apartment without a view, it looks out onto airducts and pipes, and other objects you find on rooftops, along with garbage.
When I moved in here, it was a saving grace from moving into the YWCA. I had to move out of my old place because someone was murdered in apt. #2, the guy who was charged and sentenced for the murder was dealing out of #4 and I lived in #7. Maybe I should just put some gratitude into my attitude, that I have a place to live. On the whole it is large, doesn't get direct sunlight, I can control my own heat which is good for an apartment, and the rent is reasonable.
