Apartment ... okay ... job, stupid

I can see why apartment managers would care, but an employee is not going to have to pay his boss, so it's unfair to use credit against a potential employee.
People end up with credit issues for a variety of reasons and it's not a fair assumption that they will not perform in their jobs.
So many ways people struggling financially get pushed further down ... savings gets below a certain amount - the bank charges a fee; a person misses a payment or pays a little late - another fee, etc.
I can see if someone is just not paying, but when people are in hard times, it's not fair they can push you further down!
Obama said last night on Jay Leno he is going to do something about the credit card companies ability to charge ridiculous fees, so that's a start at least.
I have also known people trying to make their way off welfare, but everytime they earned a little extra, they were shorted funds from their welfare and could never save to get out of the hole.
Our government and society surely needs an overhaul!
I wish your son all the luck, as he, and all of us needs it!!

renting an apartment
 What to you think of the idea that landlords should lower the rent money?
House or apartment? When my child was 8, got 1
What was once a really cute little bunny...within 3 months grew up to be a HUGE rabbit - and the litter box was far worse than a cat using the litter box for #1. It got to be too much for apartment/condo living and so we gave it to Pet Supermarket for their weekly Sunday sales and/or giveaways but given to Pet Supermarket as a donation. We then went to cats only for condo living. Hope you have a house. 
Last week one of the gardners at my apartment - sm
complex (aka 'Leaf-blower Nazis') - actually stole my tiny little hummingbird feeder! It was a little globe with a red flower on it, mounted on a stake in the ground. They were removing old plants outside my bedroom window for the winter, and I saw they had knocked over the feeder. By the time I had put on my jeans and shoes and gone outside to refill it, (about 3 min. later!) it was already gone. I can replace if of course, but it was a gift from my best friend, so had sentimental value.
I HATE dishonest people!
I once came home at night to an apartment -
I used to live in, to find the front door was WIDE OPEN. (Thank goodness I didn't have any cats at the time!) I woke up the building mgr. and made him go in there with me. Turns out, while I was at work the complex's UNhandy-man had come to fix a gaping hole that had been in the bathroom ceiling for 6 months (after he'd "fixed" the leak in the upstairs shower pipes that was rotting the ceiling and causing mold to grow. It was right over the shower, so when bathing I'd have to stand right under this giant hole with cold drafts & spiders coming out of it.) Anyway, 6 months later, out of the blue he decides to come back & finish the job, so I got no 24-hour notice, and he not only left the front door wide open, he left the bathroom window wie open so the paint would dry faster. Amazingly, nothing was missing from my apartment. Another time, their gardners (who did nothing but blow leaves from one side of the complex to the other with a noisy leaf-blower) stole a couple bird-feeders I had outside my bedroom window. I'm glad I don't live there anymore!
No tree at all; apartment's too small! - (see mssg!)
(Hmmm... maybe I could......)
Hang mistletoe over, or from the PC?
Or some bright-colored lights on the kitty-cat tree?
Or dress up the rabbit-ears on my TVs,
With tinsel that shimmers and blows in the breeze?
Yeah... that sounds quite festive; it's what I will do.
And it just might improve my reception, too!
We were next door neighbors at an apartment complex.

Hydroponics is an answer for apartment dwellers.
Can grow up to six different vegetables on your kitchen counter. 
I've never lived in an apartment building that
even ALLOWED smoking, and that was 15 years ago!
Maybe she's thinking of large apartment complexes??
I would think it would be a lot harder to stop people from smoking in those types of apartments when there are maybe hundreds of apartments in a lot of different buildings like they have in big cities. I can understand not smoking in a one or two family home type apartment.
Are you saying you have to be stupid
My IQ is 126, not quite Mensa quality. I find MT work challenging and interesting, and I enjoy it. I'm one of those high earners that people on this board disbelieve.
A high IQ doesn't mean you're called to a career in rocket science. Quite a few actors are members of Mensa (in the top 1%), including Geena Davis and Steve Martin. I'm sure there are plenty of actors with low IQ's as well. People do what they enjoy, and that's not always Einstein's work.
so stupid
 But people will do anything for attention (negative or otherwise). I just wonder if people really LIKE watching those grotesque stories??
This probably sounds stupid...
BUT, my husband is a veeeeerrrrry picky eater. I used to fix dinner the way I liked to eat. I love veggies and fruit, and he hates those things. I used to make a kick-@$$ lasagne with sliced zucchini and ricotta cheese and those are two things out of many that he hates. I haven't had my lasagne for many years, and I'm not going to make lasagne for myself! What's worse is now my 2-year-old daughter is just like him!! Now I'm never gonna get what I like to eat EVER!! (unless my 7-month-old ends up eating like me!) Anyway, yeah - a little resentful when I make dinner and there is 1 ingredient in there he doesn't like so he makes himself a sandwich! 
Probably because that's a stupid comment?
Just plain stupid
I think an average dairy cow produces about 12 gallons of milk a day. I don't think women are going to be able to meet production!
Stupid is the right expression.
I think not many are going to watch, it's disgusting.
Stupid, I think they should leave the growers alone. NM

all that make people look stupid.

Do marketer's think we're that stupid?
I know you've seen the commercials with Lindsey Wagner, Cheryl Ladd, Sally Field, Marie Osmond, Heather Locklear and others hawking their products, but have any of noticed just how many filters are used on the actor's faces and not on the product??? Lindsey Wagner is barely recognizable on her Sleep Number bed, she's so blurry. Same with Cheryl Ladd, Marie Osmond and Heather Locklear. Sally Field is a bit more natural, but you can still see the difference.
He!!, if I had a filter over my face, I'd have no wrinkles either!
And don't even go there with Babwa WaWa!!!!!!!!
My meter reader is stupid. ..sm
My meter happens to be in the back fenced in yard, which is my pit bull CJ's yard. He is a inside dog but when he goes out that is his yard. Well I put a sign on the gate that says BEWARE OF DOG to let people know it's not a good idea to just pop in back there. Hint, Hint, meter reader. All he has to do is come to the front door and make sure I have CJ inside when he goes back there to read the meter. Well that dummy just opens the gate with the sign saying beware of dog. He sees this big bulldog growling at him, and he just keeps on walking on in the yard. Well my dog cornered him up by the meter and was really growling and barking so I run out there and I had to grab my dog by the collar and tell him ok go ahead and leave. Some people have no sense. If I saw a sign and a big dog in the yard growling at me I would not go in the yard.
she is way to stupid for grad school...
if she wanted a master's, she should have done that BEFORE having the litter. It would have been a lot easier. I struggle with having two kids (11 and 13) and going to school at the same time and having a job, etc., etc.
Too bad that all of those with cancer are just too stupid to see the light...
smoke a little pot and - presto - you're cured! I imagine with all of the hippies coming down with cancer these days that, if this actually worked, we would all know by now, but I might just say that to make my not-a-pothead-self feel better about the cancer I will someday not be able to cure because I don't smoke weed, right?
Stupid question - false eyelashes sm
How do you keep from ripping out your own eyelashes when you take the false ones off?
Just soak the glue off with water before trying to remove them?
Stupid link didn't post, sorry.

FEELINGS. . . SOOOO sick of that stupid thing! NM

to write 'more stupid' is 'stupider' than stupider.
From a dictionary:
stupider
A word so commonly used in place of "more stupid" that it should be its own slang word. And with the creation of this definition, it is.
The phrase 'more stupid' takes more time to write out and is much Stupider then just writing 'Stupider'."
makes me thing Anna Nicole wasn't so stupid after all. NM
