BTW, QUEER EYE FOR A STRAIGHT GUY is back. New cast and now it's just called QUEER EYE. I loved the original, but wonder how good the new one will be. I'll give it a try. It's on Netflix streaming.

I'd heard about that and want to see it, too.

This was my bus reading today. The book is based on the true story of Leo, a cat rescued from horrible experiments into human vision after being used a a kitten by another lab to test vaccines. The book was published to call attention to the plight of lab animals. Leo was a lucky one to be saved.

He has a Facebook page:

I just wish I didn’t hate reality shows, including the original Queer Eye.

I know nothing about Queer Eye. If it is a reality show, I am in complete agreement with DR John.

DR Jeanne, paint peeling is bad enough, not having proper heat is inexcusable.

Vibes the gas company will be helpful.

I am beginning to think we were very lucky not to have management problems during our rental years. I also don't remember anything ever needing to be repaired.

I was very lucky, too! The only trouble that I can remember is when I had ants come into my 2nd floor apartment! The owner, fortunately, dealt with it pretty quickly.

Good for the owner.

I like ice cream when it's kind of melty, too.

George · « **Reply #105 on:** February 08, 2018, 05:57:45 PM »

...not completely melted, of course, but not rock solid.

A friend rented an old house in the Silverlake area, only to learn the heater didn't work. When he pointed it out to the owner, she replied, "You expect luxury??!!" My friend spoke to the LA housing department (good luck getting through to them). They fined the owner and required her to have the heater fixed.

The owner is dragging her heels and doesn't want to spend any money. Our building inspection was Dec 8 (BK's birthday) and very little has been repaired so far. As one person put it, "What's the point of having an inspection if you're not prepared to make repairs?"

Well, I should never be allowed to shop for a computer by myself again. This one is cheap. I think it is really a travel computer that was on the shelf a long time that they wanted to get rid of. I think it is almost out of space already. I installed a virus thing, Mozzilla, Office, and downloaded one long document, and I think it is almost out of room.

Jeanne, there's an apartment complex here in town that made the news yesterday. A couple days after rent was due, the City inspected the complex and shut it down completely. The tenants were put out on the street because the building wasn't safe. And no rent refund. They are now homeless.

I have no interest in most reality shows. What I love about QEFTSG is that they took guys who really needed some help and gave them--or their living quarters--a makeover. Tom Filicia, the interior designer, was particularly clever. I was very impressed with what he did. The guys needed help and were really pleased with what the Fab Five did for them. They hadn't known any other way to be. I suspect that in many cases it was really life-changing.

I know! Did you see the episode where the guy had been wearing a hairpiece for forever, and even though his wife had known that his hair was a wig, she had never seen him without it...and their kids didn't even know that it wasn't his real hair. They FINALLY convinced him to remove it and, as cute as he was with it, he was really much more attractive without it.

That's horrible! I have renter's insurance to cover expenses should I not be able to live here, but I'd still hate to have to find substitute housing. Comparable apartments are 50% higher than what I now pay.

Yes, he needed a push and they gave him the courage to do it. The kids were really amazed!
