The ghettoist trash
Just when you think it is the worst it can be, our ghetto trash tenants can top it. You have no idea how much I resent social welfare. I was always such a liberal pay your taxes, help out your neighbor kind of guy until…

Grouting Tiles Is Not So Bad
I spent most of today working on the rental property. It is rediculous now that I pay $500 a month and make no money on it. It is making us so poor. Just imagine paying your rent or mortgage and then pay an extra $500. …
