DH, I’m a little torn. I like to see Jets win but then I would like to see undefeated G-Men face an undefeated Saints team too – that would be juicy matchup (battle for #1 ranking in league,…)
“So my question: do any of you guys know of someone who has a spare room to rent from now until October 15th to a really nice 50-something writer and academic from LA?”
omg, what a nightmare wonton! good thing you caught it before it got widespread. sounds like you might have nipped things in the bud. i dunno about any sublets but craigslist is usually pretty good for that sort of thing i think.
Yesterday was one of the worst days I have ever had in recent memory.
I need help.
The short story: 48 hours before I’m scheduled to fly to Hong Kong (and before a very nice LA academic is due to move to my apartment for 4 month) I am awakened to find a bug on my white duvet cover. I smack the bug, and-OMG!– blood bursts across the mattress.
I spend the next several hours in a frenzy, tearing apart my bedroom, the bed, the frame the bedding. I don’t find anything but I do see one more dead bedbug on the floor. So I call the subtenant, call an exterminator, and begin packing up all my clothes, drying them at 140 degree heat, and sealing them in plastic bags in preparation.
Today some good news: the exterminator couldn’t find signs of infestation. I’m going to do the exterminate anyway, of course. They need to do it twice, spaced at least 10 days apart. I postponed my departure by two weeks. I’m dealing with this part, as awful as it is.
But my poor subtenant–who still wants to stay here–has no place to sleep (she has an office in Manhattan).

Yeah – I hear ya M4L – but i’d love to see the Jets hit Brees in the mouth.
EUROTRASH!

Got it. So who’s playing Martin Luther in this PLUSA “reformation?” I’m curious (this is getting good).
Awful, WonTon. There’s a service called VRBO that has short-term rentals that’s supposedly very good. I’ve had friends who’ve used it.
Neat clip, Dibs! Have you seen those crocheted balls anywhere? They used to be all over but I haven’t been able to find any in the last 2 years.

No way – you have bedbugs. 😉
