I had to go through 5 shipments to get this monitor here in one piece...its a Sony G500....great tube.

Anyway I come home to find one of my three cats knocked the picnic basket off the top of my bookshelf down onto my keyboard and put a 12" mark on the screen...

I was able to rub it off :) I think my landlord comes in here unannounced at times, my cats are used to him now, but while he is out of the country his son may have come by.

Normally this wouldn't be as jaw-dropping, but I am sick and had a day from hell.

:(

rant off....whew.

Hmmm, I think I would be more worried about this...

1/10

You got 1 because it involved a 21-incher. You would have gotten more if you'd included pics of the cat with the CRT.

Without chicks in your life I didn't expect you to understand...but yes at times I am in technicolor.

Tell your landlord that can't simply enter your place without prior notice, and his son certainly shouldn't be under ANY circumstances.

Dude, it's not 1951, no one takes their lady for a picnic.

Proof is a very hard thing to do. Also how much of a battle are you going to get in on a guy that can raise your rent if he desired?

He keeps the place immaculate. My rent is ultra cheap for this area. I can respect him trying to protect his investment even though I hate the invasion of privacy.

His son is on the deed (it's under a LLC), though and is a valid 'landlord'...it's just rare he comes by.

My wife and I have been on two picnics this week and plan to go on one tomorrow. There is life beyond the city.

When he finally gets a chick naked he may understand this.

I think he scores his prowlness with number of drinks he buys everyone while still going home alone...'man I should have totally asked for her phone number or at least email address".
