Suppose to rain on Friday.

I don't know what to say. Idiot landlady was down again. Brought me my mail which I didn't think would be here for another week. Came in and looked around, complained about a bit of toilet paper that I hadn't flushed in the toilet, began worrying about her pipes. Commented AGAIN that I have so much stuff which is none of her flaming business. Also moaned that they had their toilet back up which is not my fault.
Then she also proceeded to tell me that her sister who have not rented from in 5 and a half years blames me for a pipe bursting after I moved out.

I could just scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In America, there is no IQ test to qualify for home ownership, nor landlady status.

Is your mail addressed to her? Or is she allowed to mess with your mail?

Had the CT scan done as well as molds for my new falsies. I told the guy doing them that he was probably going to pull a tooth out when he did them and he said that my step-bro-in-law said the same thing. He assured me that he hasn't lost one yet, and true to his word it's still in my mouth. Told him I wasn't really too worried about it since I just want them all out anyhow, but was just a bit worried that it would screw with my speech until we come to the final solution.

I know this guy isn't a surgeon there, but he could be training to be one. I had mentioned how my step-sis had said she was concerned that my bone loss may have been too severe for dentures. He told me "nah... it's never too late for dentures", which really put my mind at ease about the whole thing. I'm not sure what his full qualifications are to make a statement like that, but I can't imagine it would be good for business for an employee to make concrete statements like that without knowing for sure they were true. Five minutes earlier he was looking at my scans from over 3 years ago and was able to correctly guess the two teeth that I have already recently lost.

He let me know that if it's decided that we're actually going to remove all of my teeth that I'm going to be presented with two options. He also says that nobody picks option number two. The first option is to be immediately fitted for a temporary pair of dentures for the first 6 months that will need to be replaced with a 2nd set when things adjust. Option number two is to go without any teeth or dentures for 6 months.

Do you think my frugal ways are bordering upon insanity when I'm already considering letting people at work know that I'm not going to be speaking for 6 months, but I'll buy a boxing style mouth guard to keep in my mouth so my face isn't gross with my lips sunk in until I get the permanent dentures?

Do Right, Be Right. :)

There isn't in Canada either.

All mail goes into one mailbox and so she can see my mail when getting hers.
My mail has my name but this address on it as I am renting a basement suite.

Your landlady is a byatch. For example

NOTHING prevents her from putting up a second mailbox with your name on it except sheer cussedness.

But the housing situation in and around Vancouver still sucks ... Chinese are still laundering money thru real estate there, the prices are still out of sight, and the supply is very tight. So keep on looking for an alternative but don't get discouraged.

I know she is and I know they could do that but they won't. Even if the suite I am is illegal.

Well, I do get discouraged and frustrated with the whole thing.

I guess what I meant was ... don't beat yourself up over this. It's not you, it's the situation. So even tho being frustrated with the situation (and your landlady!) is natural, don't for one second think that this is your fault.

I know it's not my fault. It's also tiring.

But I keep going along.

She doesn't ever actually open your mail, does she?

Not sure about Canadian law, but that's kind of a big deal around here.
