The snow collects the good with the bad, as can be seen when it melts. This blog is my snow, holding onto my experiences.

Giosué Orefice: "No Jews or Dogs Allowed." Why do all the shops say, "No Jews Allowed"?
Guido: Oh, that. "Not Allowed" signs are the latest trend! The other day, I was in a shop with my friend the kangaroo, but their sign said, "No Kangaroos Allowed," and I said to my friend, "Well, what can I do? They don't allow kangaroos."
Giosué Orefice: Why doesn't our shop have a "Not Allowed" sign?
Guido: Well, tomorrow, we'll put one up. We won't let in anything we don't like. Why don't you like?
Giosué Orefice: Spiders.
Guido: Good. I don't like vampires. Tomorrow, we'll get sign: "No Spiders or Vampires Allowed."
Life is Beautiful as quoted on amazon

Mine would say, "NO FIRE ALLOWED."  or "NO IGNORING ME ALLOWED."  Those are things that I am most afraid of, and not being or doing the right thing at the right time.  There are things that make me turn away, like operations, and some pyschological things get to me, but not most things.  As far as being ignored goes,  I do really like and admire others, so sometimes it's hard to not be acknowledged.

"It's as slow as Christmas." (said an apartment reviewer about the internet connection.)  Have you ever thought of Christmas as slow?  Sometimes it seems like it is a long ways away from me, but then the next thing I know, I need to finish wrapping gifts to make it on time.  I wish Christmas day was slow.  For my family (and I'm sure many others,) it is a rare treat to have everyone together.

"Life is Beautiful" is a phenomonal movie. Do you guys have any apartment choices in March?!? Where to next!?!?

reply to hopie26:
I think Guido does an amazing job of dealing with the situations he finds himself in.
There are a number of apartments in the area, but the more affordable ones (within 25% of our income) are either in a dangerous neighborhood, out-of-the-way, or infested with rats and cockroaches. We may get a third roommate in September, so that would help... right now Florida looks good- the cost of living is better, plus pools, but there is a lot going on here, and I don't know about the job market. We're not stressed- we'll take it as it comes, and maybe we can even stay where we're at.

That's a good one. And funny. Like librarians loudly telling patrons to be quiet.
