Help me remember the name of a juvenile sci-fi/doomsday book?

Posted on April 28, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

I read this when I was about nine years old (12 years ago). This kid and his family were all living in this crappy little hot-as-baalls apartment in some southern region. It might have been postwar, or after a nuke, or something like that. Anyway most of the family packs up and heads north to an old house and the kid’s all amazed because it still snows up there. I’ve been racking my brain for about ten years trying to remember that book because it was really good when I was little! The title might have had sun or red in it, and the cover was red or yellow.

What could cause this bizarre plumbing problem?

Posted on March 26, 2012 by admin| 6 Comments

This is all apartment building gossip, but maybe someone can help out.

On Friday the the unknowledgable superintendent, who happens to be the landlord’s son, was here “fixing” the fourth-floor’s clogged kitchen sink.

Today the third floor people came home from a weekend trip and found “food” backed up into their toilet, clogging it to the point that they cannot plunge the problem away.

It seems that the clogged sink must have had something to do with this.

Did the super really screw up? We live on the first floor. Do we need to worry that this might have messed up the plumbing for the whole building?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Where should we have our daughter’s first b-day party?

Posted on July 7, 2011 by admin| 8 Comments

My baby is turning one this month and I have to send out the invitations soon. BUT my husband and I can not agree on where to have the event. I wanted to have it at my sister’s house because she has a nice big house in the suburbs. She always entertains so she has everything that we would need. Plus she has a “man cave”(poker table, pool table, flat screen etc.) in her basement to keep the guys from getting all mopey about the social gathering. My husband says that he doesn’t want to feel like a guest at his own daughters b-day party. I understand where he is coming from, but I don’t want to have her party at our crappy apartment in the city. We don’t have enough space, or air conditioning.

We already thought about a park or forest preserve, and have decided that it is too labor intensive bringing all the food, tables, chairs, grill, and all that. And Chuckie Cheese is really not our style. I need help I need to send out the invitations soon! Does anyone have a suggestions?
