A rant in pictures

I have been having a running issue with my landlord.  Rather than ranting about it, I thought I'd share a few pictures of my place along with my commentary so you can decide for yourself if it's just an old man ranting or if you think I have some legitimate concerns. I'm confident you'll agree with me though. My landlord is an uncaring and greedy crone, who has the common sense of a turnip.

Pictured below are the step to go in my apartment. The drop is 18 ½ inches and it's been like that for 2 years now. She has had the other exits to the building for other tenants fixed but not mine. Keep in mind I'm over 80 years old.  My entrances was the most dangerous one of the bunch and she had even said so herself but she had the other ones fixed and not mine. When I called the man that had repaired the entrances he answered that he would have to call Judith. That tells me that she had never mentioned mine at all to him.

This is a picture of the hole in the wall going into the kitchen area.  

In the picture below, the ceiling has a hole in it.  They came in to fix a leak in the upstairs bathroom from the another apartment. Now it doesn't impact day to day life but it's unsettling to be eating and not only hearing the people above flushing their toilet but also to hear them going to the bathroom.  I mean every detail of it can be heard. 

Now in this case the first leak was fixed.  But when the second one happened and then fixed the landlady said "I’ll leave it like that to make sure it doesn’t leak again after it's been repaired".

The plumbers fixed it but the landlady never bothered to inquire about whether there are still leaking issues.  It's been over 3 months now. When people walk upstairs, if there is any dust we get it and our kitchen table below it and when one of those drunks vomit in the toilet we hear it as if it was down here. In that case there goes ones’ appetite or it comes back up. 

And she has the nerve to ask me for more rent, telling me that I was the paying the lowest rent of all the tenants here.That’s too bad for her. I signed a lease for $595 a month and that’s what I’m going to pay until the end of my lease (which is the end of September 2017). Then I’m leaving. So if my lease is renewed it will not be my doing. In fact she will be getting an email to that effect like she does with everyone else. After 18 years where I was living before moving here, that house was demolished to put up a triplex. Anyone can see I don’t like moving and I still don’t, but it will be a great pleasure in moving from this place.

Here are a few more pictures for your consideration. This one is a wider angle picture of my front entrance. The stove that I moved when I came in to put up my stove

When I moved my stove in and the old stove out, these are the stairs I had to navigate.  Speaking of stoves, this was also supposed to be cleaned when I moved in. This where the old stove was. 

One more gripe I have since I am on the subject.  My granddaughter drives from almost Toronto to come and see me.  It's a 4-5 hour drive for her. She can only spend about an hour or two here before having to leave to return home. I had asked the landlord if my granddaughter could park just at the start of the driveway and she said okay. But this guy with his little car started to park there and I told the landlord about it and the answer I got was that she didn’t promise me anything. In the meantime there’s a long driveway that no one parks in for the building.

The war on Christmas

I watched this video and had some thoughts but there have been so many lies on the internet about the end of the world (and other things) that it's hard for a person to make up their mind as to what is the truth and what isn't. So I would suggest that you watch this and make up your own mind.

Trump

Everyone it seems, were trying to crucify Donald Trump when he was running to be the next president Now that he has been elected they are still after him.

I mentioned in a previous blog post that he might act as like dictator and in some ways so far he would seem to be acting like one. But he hasn't taken office as the president yet. Until that time let's see what he does once he has started as the president, and after he's finished doing what he said he was going to do. So far it's way too early to tell what sort of president he will be.  Why not just wait and see before condemning him without knowing how he's going to act?

How to go about losing friends

 

I found a new way to lose friends without saying anything to them. I say that because sometimes it's good to rid yourself of people who claim to be your friend but really just want things from you. Anyway, all you have to do is to lend them money and then they don't want to pay it back (or they can't afford to pay it back) so they stay away.

Those are the type of people that come along and say can you lend me $10 or $20 until my welfare money comes in? But when their welfare comes in, they forget where you live. Just one thing that they do wrong; they forget that if they had to borrow before their welfare came in they will probably have to borrow again. Well my door will not open for them they can starve if they must.

What a disaster

What I call a disaster is what we have now in Canada: a person that has never managed a country and also a premier in Ontario that has never managed a province. One is running down the country and the other the province of Ontario into bankruptcy.

Those two from the Liberal party are trying to convince the people that carbon dioxide is a pollutant and according to a commentator on CFRA, premier Trudeau mentioned carbon dioxide as a pollutant six times during a recent speech. I guess those Liberals think that by calling this carbon dioxide a pollutant people will finally believe them.

I don't give a damn what politician calls this a pollutant. But I figure that if they can convince us carbon dioxide is a pollutant then the people won't mind paying a tax on it. Well I don't listen to those half- baked money hungry fools the Liberals. I listen to the radio and one professional that works to find out what is a pollutant stated that carbon monoxide is not a pollutant but food for plants, includes trees. Can you imagine a planet without any plants or trees? Carbon dioxide has been in existence long before we humans were and now some stupid people want to tax something that is good for the planet.

While I'm on the subject of premiers, did anyone pay any attention to what the premier of Ontario said the other day that she should have paid more attention to the hydro bills? Was this meant as an apology? If it was, it sure was a dead pan one. That is the kind of apology that comes just from the lips only because there wasn't any emotion in how she said it that could be detected whatsoever. 

How could she help not hearing the complaints about their hydro bills? Because every day there were complaints all over the place. No, that is another Liberal that would like to put a carbon tax on the people that she has been picking on ever since she took office and trying to screw them out of all the money she could scrounge off them even to the point of telling the people what they can and what they can't use to heat their homes with.

I will say that people with her kind of thinking don't do any justice for the party that she belongs to because she is a disaster and she brings down the reputation of her party instead of propping it up. I would like to know how many in the Liberal party would like to see her out of the party.

Be right back

It's been a while since I have posted anything. I have been having issues with my hands so I got help posting this note. I hope to be back in about a week or so.
