We are moving this weekend! For those of you who haven’t followed my housing issues here are a couple of my most recent threads onthe subject. To make a long story short our apartment, which originally had seemed like a great find, ended up being horrible from the day we moved in forward. On top of that our landlord is made of liquid evil and poo so he has appeared to find joy in our problems with our apartment. We have been fighting tooth and nail to improve our living situation and, lo and behold, our troubles are over!
Someone else has seen our apartment and is willing to move in if we can be out by the 18th. We’ve found a wonderful new place (with no complaints against the building or the landlord filed with the city in at least the last 5 years) and they are bringing the lease to my office here in about 10 minutes. We are going to our current landlord’s office at 6 pm to sign the paperwork that lets us out of our lease and we have a gaggle of boxes being delivered to our place right now so we can finish packing up our stuff. Movers have been scheduled and everything is finalized or will be within the next 6 hours. We are out of here!
Turns up the radio and dances
Come dancewithme in celebration of my great fortune!
I just posted in your old thread. Congratulations!! Be sure to take pictures when you are getting ready to move out so that you can prove that things weren’t fixed to your satisfaction AND to prove that you left the place in good condition should the landlord claim that you wrecked the place.
I’d even consider getting someone to come over and see the apartment before handing in your keys. He/she can be a witness in case the landlord withholds your security deposit.
Congrats, but if your house is such a vile shit hole (based on your descriptions- I’m not trying to be snarky), how on Earth can you justify having a friend take over your lease?
**Edit:**Oh, derp. I see it isn’t a friend. Just a stranger?
Yep, we’ve informed them that there is flooding and mold that needs to be repaired and we’ve told them we have a difficult time reaching the landlord and they don’t seem to care. They really, really want an apartment with a yard so they are willing to deal with that I guess.
I have done The Robot in your honor. I hope that’s good enough. I was going to do The Caterpillar, but I don’t think my body can handle that at my age/weight. I hope that’s good enough!
The Robot I know, but what in the hell is the Caterpillar? I wonder if it is what we call the dolphin.
I wish I could see the links in the OP. Blocked at work.
I am doing the dutty wine to celebrate for you. This is a dancehall/reggae dance that is so difficult, people have been injured. I’m not kidding. I am risking my very life.
It involves flapping my knees Josephine Baker style, while all the time kind of hopping around and whipping my head around and around furiously. I will even throw in a few hoodrat booty bounces.
Pbbth, I’m glad you found something you like. I bet I would have even loved what you moved out of. Flooding and mold be damned.
Ok. I can’t play that link, but I’m convinced that the dance you are referring to is what I call the dolphin. Breakdancing move, where you are pretty much undulating vigorously on the floor?
The worm is more of a dance you would see Will Smith doing. I little head wiggle, let the wiggle ride down the body and give a little snap. You would do that standing.
I never, ever heard anyone call the dolphin the caterpillar. So interesting how different dances and names of dances spread and vary.
I’m pretty sure we’re talking about the same thing. One is able to do it in place or to propel one’s self across the floor using this maneuver. I’ve never heard of “the dolphin” before, but I can see how the name could be applied.
Check the video out when you get home. Interesting method of transportation.
Normally on all matters dancing, I would defer to my esteemed colleague, Nzinga, Seated, but in this instance I’m going to have to disagree. Sir, what you are describing is in fact the worm. In your video, he’s just more floppy.
I know what Nzinga, Seated is describing Will Smith doing, but I don’t even know what you’d call that.
