Are you getting a kickback for promoting those Ooma Telo things, or do you have something against Vonage?

Why would you consider ANYTHING that is connected to the internet as "home security"? When the internet goes out, so does the phone!

And by the way, if you have Vonage and don't make very many calls they will send you a special offer of $9.99 (includes taxes, fees etc.) for LIFE, and their FREE box pays for itself instantly. No Joke!

I want to know what the vertical brown things are lined up across the top of the living room wall. TY

Just a story for all the nasty landlords...I rented an apartment because I liked the location, but was rather depressed that they couldn't have bothered to paint the place after the last smoker/tenant moved out. The walls were yellow & you could see where every picture and knicknack had hung.

I planned to stay for quite awhile, and I painted the livingroom a terra cotta and sponged a light peach over it. It looked really nice and was a major improvement.

One day I had to have maintenance in and he looked around and told me "well, you just lost your deposit". I thought "what an a@@".

I had to move suddenly so I looked at my lease. It said "the apartment was to be left in the same condition as it was found". Kind of hard to replicate smoke stained walls. I called for a move-out inspection to be scheduled for the next day. The landlord laughed at me on the phone and asked "Why?" I replied that it was my right to have one, and it was scheduled for 7:00 a.m.

At 3p.m I went for a 5 gallon pail of white paint. I spent the whole night painting four rooms, ceilings and all. Then I took pictures.

The next morning the landlord was standing on my stoop grinning--until he came in and couldn't pick his jaw off the floor. I asked him to do a walk through and he told me it wouldn't be necessary; he would go to the bank and bring me a check for my deposit right away.

When he came back, he did manage to "man-up" enough to tell me the paint job was better than his maintenance crew had ever done.
