Any Texas Lawyers in the House (or anyone else)? Need advice
by TheClarinetist ini'm too stressed out right now to write this as anything more than what basically amounts to a series of bulletin points, but here goes anyway.. girlfriend burned down kitchen.. landlord wants money for repairs (obviously, no issue there) by december 5th.. landlord is attempting to apply security deposit to repairs in order to force us to pay all repair money within the next 10 days (over $1600) per the lease.
is that legal without our permission?
also, can she make us pay before she's paid anything?.

Rush's 2112
by TheClarinetist inmy fiancee and i were discussing what rush's 2112 is.
for those of you that don't know, 2112 is a piece, about 20 minutes long, divided into 7 movements.
we can't quite agree on what to call it... "song" doesn't live up to the full effect, as it has more in common with an oratorio than a pop song.

JWs and E-Cigs
by TheClarinetist inthe other night, two of my jw coworkers were sitting out enjoying an e-cig with one of my other coworkers.
i knew from earlier that there was tobacco (well, nicotine) in it.
out of curiousity, i did some minor digging with my worldlytm coworkers and am pretty darn sure that these guys aren't doing anything else questionable... are active jws allowed to smoke e-cigs now, or did i just witness some extremely minor teenage rebellion?.

Question
by TheClarinetist inwow... i never pick happy times to make posts on this board... so before i continue, i give you a puppy.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amt0nq4mvci&feature=fvst.
anyway, so my other roommate is planning on moving out in january (spoke of the craziness that's been going on lately in an earlier thread).
i asked him what his plans for his portion of the lease/rent were so that we could plan accordingly, and he told us that we could find someone to cover his portion for the remainder of the lease.

My Great-Grandmother Died This Morning
by TheClarinetist inshe's been really bad for quite a while, and passed away in her sleep.
she lived to be a ripe old age, and even got to meet some of her great-great grandchildren (not mine... i don't have any kids), which is not something that can be said for a lot of people.
she loved music, and took organ lessons for many of the last years of her life, something that we really connected on, despite the fact that she was a, for lack of a better word, crazy jw that pioneered for years after she wasn't able to attend meetings in person.. from what i understand, the majority of people people never meet their great-grandparents, and for that i should consider myself lucky, but still i'll miss her.

Jehovah's Witnesses, Voluntary Response Bias, and Other Questions
by TheClarinetist in[please forgive my math in this post.
it is very inexact and used mainly as examples.].
as many of you should know, i have a rather large axe to grind with regards to jehovah's witnesses.

Interesting Experience...
by TheClarinetist inso my girlfriend and i were walking to the post office and this really quiet guy comes up and comments that he likes my shirt (black shirt that says "lucifer" in white text).
he then goes on to say that he's a monk and wants us to have this "free" book on meditation.
my girlfriend is big into meditation, so she's like "okay" and starts looking at it, and then he tells us that he can't give it to us unless we make a donation so that they can pay to print another book.

Obligatory "Pity Me" Thread
by TheClarinetist insince my thread asking for advice exploded into a conversation about whether or not it is legal to give advice about legal matters, i figured i'd repost my craziness here and update.. my lovely girlfriend accidentally blew up the kitchen while sauteeing chicken in hot oil.
by blew up, i mean she accidentally set the stove and wall on fire.
it was pretty crazy, we had three fire trucks and an ambulance there.
