In my market it is pretty standard to just tear out the carpet and charge the outgoing tenant. I guess in Atlanta the carpet installers bribe better than the carpet cleaners.

If you are Camping rather than RVing or Backpacking you might want a good chair. having a comfy chair to relax by the fire makes all the difference. you can get a cheapie almost anywhere but I recommend getting a quality one. I love my MaxxDaddy I use it all the time because it works just as well in non camping portable seating settings. Smaller people might not need such a throne, but you will probably be spending hours by the fire and sitting on a log is not very nice.... [more]

Start thinking about all other people as "things" remind yourself that none of it matters and we are all different arrangements of chemicals in big fat meat computers.

I would suggest that you Over react to the Sneaktism. Just coordinate with your SO. You get all angry and forbid any contact of any kind between the kinds and ML over the issue. your SO gets to step in and broker the peace. ML knows you are serious. You get to get your angry on. and SO keeps ML.

Four more exits to my apartment but

And leave it all behind.

alternately, you could log into the router remotely and block their MAC address on that network.

they can't surf any more porn or whatever.

when they go away, allow the MAC address again.

it wouldn't stop them from using a word processor, but email and web surfing would be kaput.
