^^ $200 each for 15 guys is $3000, that seems like a lot for a limo bus! I could be wrong, but wow!

This is what it covers, rip off if you ask moi:

It includes cover to strip clubs and bars and unlimited mileage to wherever we would like to go. It also has Big Screen

TV's leather couches and such. It also includes TIP and tax.

I personally could care less if Glen goes to strip clubs, by all means enjoy yourself. I am just mad about the transportation to get to the girls!

Make sure u get the $$$ in $1 bills!

:rofl: good idea!!

I ran into a similar situation a couple years ago for a friends bachelor party. His brother who was his best man kept making all these lavish plans. His brother was also a much bigger partier than the groom to be. He initially made reservations for the Penthouse Suite at the Riot House (famous hotel on the sunset strip), and sent an email to everyone who was going that they needed to send him a check or paypal for $500 for the room and that alcohol and strippers would be another $250 each. $750.... and we weren't even leaving town. Once his fiance caught wind of that idea, she went ballistic. Still ended up going to a strip club and a regular bar, but it was much less money. For me personally, I don't want a bachelor party really. I've been to several, and they always seem to be either a lot of trouble for the groom to be, or no fun at all.

The brother is the best man that's arranging this stuff too! And his brother is a wild, crazy alcoholic. I've met him before and he's a serious binge drinker. He lives at home with his parents so of course all this $$ is no worries for him, but he didn't even ask any people in the real world that pay bills and have responsibilities if they can afford it.

I'm almost ready to cry.. the house sale fell through and our landlord just told us to pay him the money this month. The people upstairs are EXTRA loud right now, I"m all alone and I'm really really really frustrated.

GRRR! Is there any way to get out of the lease, due to the conditions or something? (you mentioned mold in the bathroom) you could claim that is unsafe to be around and try to find a new apartment?

THat's the frustrating part.. it looks like the only way to get out of a lease is for issues of safety (no heat, water etc).. when the lease document says we have a right to peace and quiet.. literally.. but that apparently isn't enough to get out of a lease ... bah!!!!

There is mold, but it hasn't grown and I don't think the health dept. would say we could really state this is a health concern. It's just black mold.... and most of that area is dry right now, so there's no more mold growing.. it just looks horrible this brown nasty spot with black stuff around the edges.

That's seriously brutal, you shouldn't have to live like that. And subletting would do no good because who would want to live there, you know? I would start looking for a new place 60 days before your lease is up, give your notice and get the hell outta there!

have U TREID to get the city to look at it? Why not try, would not take much of your time. Until you try, you just never know.

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

I think given our town there is very limited possibility anyone would look at it.. we live in a "nice" part of town, the landlord has a PHD and there are really no safety issues.. i can't find anything anywhere in state regulations that would be our "out".. :(

Then you need to just sit down and talk to the landlord and figure out a way out.

You need to tell him the state of the neighbors upstairs, and what they do and how they act and how its really making you uncomfortable as tenants. Maybe he'll let you guys go?

What does a PhD have to do with anything? If you say you have mold, you may have a issue! Certain types of mold can cause series types of health issues,PHD or no PHD! Al one can do is make the phone call. Just saying,lol

You are good tenants right? I am sure he doesn't want more section 8 people moving in after you leave... perhaps he'll do something.

I am not laughing but it sounds like a song flames... :lol:
