ParticipantYou’re right, it was rude and I try not to do that, but for some reason this post caught me as way too unrealistic. I have identified my specialty before, I’m an obstetrician, and I typically have a great deal of patience with women in pain.
As far as unacceptable, it is a (fairly) anonymous blog, unacceptable comments DO occaisionally occur in the spirit of the moment. I’ll behave.

ParticipantI can’t believe you’re honestly asking this question. Do you want the landlord to wipe your ass for you too? Ok, that one was probably over the top, but my point is the landlord isn’t responsible for any little imperfection in your home. Just like you would feel ill-used if you left a spot in the oven when you left and he kept your security deposit.
I used to rent a place in Lemon grove when I was a resident. During my four years there I trapped 38 mice in my kitchen, and would never have dreamed of calling the landlord thinking it was HIS responsibility.
Marion, it’s not my habit to flame post anyone, but I get a sense from your postings that you are a particularly entitled person.

ParticipantI borrowed my program director’s Prius to make the rush-hour drive from Torrance to Van Nuys once and I gotta tell you, those things are WIERD to drive. It’s kind of funny, the car makes decisions without you. the first time the engine cut out in stopped traffic my first impulse was that it stalled out. Kind of reminded me of my first car, wait for it… a 1974 Ford Pinto.
They are really nice cars, but I enjoy driving just a bit too much to have one as my primary vehicle.

ParticipantI solved the car lust problem by buying a car I intend to keep until the day I die. Before you laugh when you consider this, I bought a used '96 Porsche 911 cabriolet which has probably taken all the depreciation it is going to as long as I maintain it and keep the mileage down. I'm probably only a few years away from the car becoming an appreciating asset. Porsche will never make a car like this again, as it is the last generation with the air-cooled engine. The older the car gets the rarer and cooler it gets. Since I bought it I have not ever felt the desire to upgrade, and can seriously see being happy with this car forever. I might add I typically bike to work, and don't need to drive that much. If I was interested in a high-mileage car I would seriously be in the market for a few-year old VW diesel. They last forever and get great gas mileage, and pencil out even with diesel 10-15c/gallon more than gas. For the greenies out there that would criticise the pollution factor, the reality is modern diesels aren't nearly as dirty as they used to be, and in certain pollutants they are actually cleaner than a gas engine. For many people, myself included, a car purchase is so much more emotion than pure finances. Don't EVER think of a car as an investment no matter what the car guys say. It's an expense, albeit a necessary one. It all comes down to if you are a car-person or not. If you are, and want a shiny new toy every 2 years, the lease might make sense, but only in that case.
