I found a wine fridge on Craigslist that will make a perfect larger incubator, so I am going to try to pick it up tomorrow, then sell my old, smaller one as an incubator. I should be able to get what I will pay for the new one.

Cool, let me know if you find anything or actually pick up some evp's.
It irritates me that I have worked at my job for 7.5 years, and I can't even get Friday or Saturday off so I can have a fucking social life.
Nobody has Monday and Tuesday off...
nobody but ME that is.
I never should have left this place. If I hadn't left for 6 months, I would still be working Sun-Thurs 3rd shift. I miss...

That blows bud. Hopefully things will change for the better, after all, it's a new year. Btw, the website looks good bro. With any luck, that will skyrocket and get you outta your job. Then you can spend your weekends at reptile shows! 
Had a nightmare last night...
My snakes were laying eggs. 4 females dropped eggs, and for some reason the tubs were flooded with about 3 inches of water on the bottom...so I am pulling eggs out to save them, but then I realize that:
A: I am not keeping track of what tubs they are coming out of...
B: I have no incubation substrate
C:...

Merci for your support on my set 
Income tax filed.
$1030 return. $400 going to a new snake rack, $500 paying off a credit card completely.
That will be nice.

I'm hoping I get $5 back, from either state or federal. I'll be happy with $5. haha

I can't wait to finish mine.
Done. Keys turned in and done.
She was like "If I can't find someone to rent the place, and it goes to small claims court, you will be held "reliable" for the rent because you broke the lease."
It was one of those moments where I actually practiced self control and didn't explode like I wanted to and just said "Ok."

Dude.
She is frickin moronic.
She does understand she has to pay to go to small claims court correct?
Just keep doing what you are doing. Do not respond to her texts, phone calls, etc. Do not talk to her at all anymore. You have the PO box.
You handled the situation perfectly.
Level head will prevail.
Also use Sara's link above.
You might be paranoid for a few weeks or a month or two. I was. I was so sure there would be a fight, but it never came.

Thank god you're out of there! She'd never win that case.
Got the last car load today. Only one box and some cleaning supplies left.
No one is home right now. I am blasting Weird Al and singing and there are no downstairs neighbors to worry about. It's fucking glorious.
This is the first time I have lived in a house.
Can't wait until the snake room/library is done. Once the snakes are upstairs, we can...

Congratulations man. I'm sure it feels so damned good to be out of that place!
Not a bad way to start out the new year.

Congrats on finally getting out of that place man.
90% of our stuff is moved to the new place. Going back Monday to finish up and clean.
Those people who were supposed to look at the place again didn't show or call.
Eh.
3 things can happen now.
1. She finds someone to rent the place, absolving us of the lease.
2. She doesn't find someone and the place goes into foreclosure again, and...

Well, the girl who just looked at the apartment is coming back tomorrow with her boyfriend to look at it again and talk to us about buying the washer and dryer....so it looks like we may end up getting out of here cleanly and easily after all.
Fingers crossed.
If they sign the lease, I want it in writing that Christine and I are absolved...

Good luck bud! How's the reptile breeding this season? Going well I hope.
Well, apparently the landlord is now looking for apartments, so I have a hard time believing she is going to try to enforce a lease on a place she is walking away from.
I think I am just going to let this one play out. Clean the apartment, take pics of how it was when we left, and leave.

laceyk:
Oh right! Forgot that one! Definitely take pics or even video.
I basically walked around my apartment videotaping on my phone and showing issues that were basic wear and tear. I didn't want them putting a hole in the wall and saying I did it.
I even went so far as to put the newspaper in the beginning but I was dealing with a psycho bitch.

So now the question remains...
do I let her attempt to find a new tentant, absolving me of the lease...
or do I call in a public health inspector and have the place deemed uninhabitable (which it really, really is) and have THAT absolve me of the lease?
The second option seems a little petty, but really would settle this shit once and for all....

I'd say take the high road... and just get the heck out of dodge.
I had a similar roommate horror story once... and rather than risk the potential escalation/fallout of reporting him to the authorities... just got the fuck OUT.

I would keep it as clean as possible.
Just move out, get the PO Box that is all.
You gave her 30 days notice which I belive is all you need in CT - were you on a month to month lease?
Either way the onus is on her to get money out of you if she wants it.
Do not talk to her, do not respond to her texts, do not respond to her calls.
If you can move out before the actual move out date (see if you can move in 3 days early) so she can't show up and make a scene. Get out of there (move as fast as possible even if you have to hire extra help for the loading - again keeping the window small at the old place).
Forward mail only to the PO Box.
You just need to keep it as simple as possible and not give her any fodder.
Don't offer her anything!
Don't fuck with her because then if you go to court it could go against you.

New low.
The landlord texted me asking if we would stay if she lowered the rent. I politely told her thank you for the kind gesture, but the new place is an opportunity we cannot decline. I told her that a lot of stuff hit me at the beginning of the month (Eddie and the vet stuff, Christine's car)
She then proceeded to try to...

As others have said.
Dont' give her any ammo.
Just keep it all really short!

Among all the bullshit happening lately, I had one glimmer of light...I found someone selling a busted soda cooler on Craigslist and planned on buying it and building a new incubator.
Turns out the glass on the door is broken...
Apparently life just wants to keep kicking me in the ribs while I am down. The ONE thing I was actually a little excited about......
