  I've got a not-good neighbor situation. Help?

  1 0 I mentioned this in response to a similar question a week or two ago, but: Do these neighbors own the house they live in? If not, can you contact their landlord to complain? You could possibly do it anonymously via a letter. Many landlords hide where they really live quite well (my former landlord had her other rental property as the contact info for my building and vice versa), but you can try to find a landlord's mailing address through the King County parcel viewer: http://www.kingcounty.gov/operations/gis/propresearch/parcelviewer.aspx Look up your neighbors' house, and then look at the property record. keshmeshi answered in Whatever 2 months ago Answer, comment & read 8 more answers »

  Do you need vaccinations to visit Buenos Aires?

  1 0 I think it's only too late if she can't get an appointment somewhere. The UW Medical Center once got me an appointment at their travel clinic at the last minute, although that was ten years ago. Looking at the CDC's list, the only thing that jumps out at me is typhoid. I honestly think the Hep A and Hep B recommendations are kind of ridiculous. You can get both in the U.S. too. Malaria and Yellow Fever aren't going to be an issue if she really does stay in Buenos Aires, but it's not too late even for Malaria; you need to start taking the meds a week before exposure. keshmeshi answered in Long Distance Travel 2 months ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  0 0 I've been getting them too. I guess it's possible that Myrna and I have the same malware, but it seems unlikely, especially since I've only seen pop-unders from Slog of late. keshmeshi commented 2 months ago

  0 0 You're also not supposed to donate blood if you've traveled in countries with a prevalence of malaria in the past few years. That's not bigotry either. keshmeshi commented 2 months ago

  Why do i look fatter?

  3 0 Are you doing weight training? A good weight training routine is really important to replace some of that fat you're losing with muscle. A 14-lb weight loss is also really fast for just one month. If you're not doing weight training, I recommend you start doing that while cutting down on high intensity cardio; my totally amateur opinion is that 30 minutes of intense cardio per workout is just about right, unless you're training for a sport. keshmeshi answered in Fitness & Exercise 2 months ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  0 0 Well that blows. I'm not sure what pisses me off more: douchebags doing douchebaggy things or the people whose job it is to deal with the douchebags refusing to do anything about it. Anyway, I guess report the camper, give your good neighbors a heads up, and then gird your loins. keshmeshi commented 2 months ago

  1 0 Another thought I had: do your neighbors rent or own? If they rent, you could try to appeal to their landlord to curb their behavior or kick them out completely. Again, if you live in Seattle/King County, you can try to find out who actually owns the building using the parcel finder. keshmeshi commented 2 months ago

  Camping/Campers on residential streets?

  3 0 Do you live in Seattle? I'm asking because in Seattle, at least, you can't park on any given block for more than three days at a time. You can use this link to report the camper anytime it's parked in a location for more than 72 hours. By law, they'll have to move the camper within three days of getting a notice to move. Unfortunately, they only have to move to another block, but, if you keep up with it enough, they might get sick of it and move on. You have to give parking enforcement the make, model, and license plate number of the vehicle, so I recommend writing that down for safekeeping. If you don't live in Seattle, try looking up what the law is for how long a vehicle is allowed to park on the street. How dangerous do you think those neighbors truly are? If you think their actions will stay limited to vandalism, and if reporting the camper doesn't work, maybe you could band together with your neighbors to drive the motherfuckers away. Take turns reporting every possible incident to the authorities, keep an eye on each others' property to catch vandalism in the act, and maybe even consider setting up surveillance cameras. keshmeshi answered in Other - House & Home 2 months ago Answer, comment & read 3 more answers »

  Keeping the dog after a break up

  4 0 I highly doubt the police are going to get involved in this; they have better things to do. Worst case scenario, your ex takes you to court, but it doesn't exactly sound like he's in a great position to hire an attorney. If I were you, though, I would be worried that he might try to steal the dog back and would take extra precautions to make sure that didn't happen. Have you changed the locks to your place since he moved out? If he were more reasonable and responsible about this, maybe you could work out supervised visits with the dog, but it sounds like that ship has sailed. keshmeshi answered in Dogs 2 months ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »
