Thanks for the article, but Stupid Autocorrupt got you. You need to edit the two instances of "corporate welcome" to "corporate welfare." Unless I missed something.

This is wonderful. Maybe Oregon will be next. Maybe someday All the states will come to their senses. Thanks for lightening my day.

Re: Author of "Evicted" Says No-Cause Legislation Won't Address Heart of the Problem

Your exemption makes sense, pdan, especially as there are rules already in place governing how much you can raise rents in a single year for current tenants. If you aren't allowed to raise the rent after evicting someone, and you can raise them only a certain percentage per year, it's going to keep landlords from evicting just so they can get more rent. I like it.

As a small-time landlord, let me just chime in here. My husband and I have reached the conclusion that the only way to safely evict someone is through no-cause, except in the event of non-payment. The only times we've evicted for other reasons--violent people or their friends scaring the bejeebers out of the other tenants with their fights, not to mention destroying the apartments they were in--they've come back with lawsuits. Yes, they did it with outrageous lies, and yes, we would probably have won, but it would have cost, literally, tens of thousands to fight. We ended up settling out of court, which still cost us thousands, while the tenants continued to live on the property, doing more damage, and literally threatening other tenants with beatings. We've always kept our rents artificially low, because we don't believe in gouging, and we love our properties, but with the current moves to make things easier for renters by making things much harder for landlords, we're doing what many small-timers will do: selling out, getting out. I worry about what will happen to our current tenants under new management, but not enough to stay in.

Lol! Oh, yeah. Reasonable requests always make me hate people!

I'm so glad you made the video. It was a good thing, and I think we're all going to still love you even more, especially with the Cheat Sheet you tacked on at the end!

Hugs from Anitra

Well for Pete's sake. It would never have occurred to me that a lack of projects would be a Good thing, but when you put it this way...!

WOW!! That's amazing, and wonderful, and Grrrreat!! (How about a tutorial? I wanna know how you did that, and I'm just betting I'm not alone!)

Smiling at the mention, and it does work better with the seams turned like that! Wish I'd thought of that Before I made mine, lol.

Re Twitter: Lethal was taken?! That is just WRONG.

Wow. I think you've stuck a chord with a lot of us, or maybe a vein! I've been thinking about this, too There's so much to actually DO, it's begun to feel burdensome to keep up with the blogs I'm subscribed to. And then I feel guilty when I don't.

I'm realizing, though, that the ones I most enjoy reading are the ones where I feel a connection to the person, where somehow that person's spirit makes it through the screen and into my mind an heart. Hmmmm.

That looks like so much fun! (And that's saying a lot, coming from me, because I normally find baseball second only to golf in the Boring Category!)

"Kills creativity" You said so much with those two words!

If you watch little kids, you'll soon see they're willing to try Anything, up to a certain age. That age, that "certain age", is the point at which they realize they may be laughed at, scolded, or criticized. It's hard for an adult to step out in front of the world with a new idea, hard to even come up with something original, if they have a slap-down hanging over them.

Great podcast, Diane. Thanks for maybe making the world a kinder place!

Whoo HOO!!! Not that I'm surprised, but congratulations!

Love the place mats, and have to say we must be on some kind of ESP wavelength, cuz I was remembering paper bag place mats we made in (get this!) kindergarten just the other day and thinking it was time to try them again!

Am eager to read the Storque article now....

What a riot! And I would NOT want to go up against you, even if I could get that far, lol!

Re: That’s right – I said “Towel Animals!”

Anitra_Cameron — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:19:59 -0000

Oh my goodness. This takes me right straight back to my childhood. There was a comic book character named "Little Lulu", and it seems to me that at the end of every comic book there'd be instructions for making an animal or person from Kleenex! The towels are just like that, only bigger.

I found a link to a photo of a golden book with several on the cover. Check it out!

See, that's why we love you, Diane--because you do all that pesky testing for us!

Too clever and sweet by half, as usual.

Hugs to you.

Sure wish I could have come. I was painting faces at the Portland Pirate Festival though. Drat it. Why do all the wonderful things happen on the same weekend?!

Wow, Diane!! I stopped over specifically to congratulate you on being in this week's edition of Parade Magazine, and you're in Woman's Day, too! I am DANCING for happiness for you.

And you totally deserve every bit of recognition you get!

Hmmm. Well, aside from my habitual ADD defense mechanism for getting into new things ("Step away from the craft. Step AWAY from the craft!) what struck me was the cover.

I Love the photo you've chosen for today's entry, and wonder if you could use it large. The six photos on the cover now are, to me, too small, and the colors don't have that suck-me-right-in quality that today's big photo does.

Hope the comment is helpful, and won't be hurt if you read and delete!
