the owners of the building care because if they don't have it well maintained, they can't have their low income housing tax credits, and if they don't have their tax credits, then they can't lease the apartment out to low income tenants...or something like that.
$675.00/month including water & trash for a 2 bedroom apartment, partly furnished (comes with fridge and range) is REALLY cheap here in Hawaii, considering that regular rent for a 1 bedroom apartment is almost $2,000/month...so I really shouldn't complain, but...it's annoying.

Swimming!!?? Well, I got to swim in the Sea of Galilee and turn somersaults at nighttime!! Yep!! I miss that!!! And finding smoothed pieces of pottery and ancient glass, too....oh I wish I was there again to collect some wirewrapping goodies!!...now that I do wirewrapping!
I have a confession to make!! I once had to go number two on the top of MT. Arbel...a cliff that overlooks the Sea of Galilee. I was with a class(I went one semester of school in ISrael back in 1992), and suddenly got an upset tummy and there was no bathroom..and had to go behind a bush!! I left a part of me in the soil of the HolyLand!

Most shocking-I can't say, so many things that I used to do, that I no longer do, because the Lord said to stop.
Me-That too? I gotta stop that too?
Lord-Yup.
Me-Oh darn, how in the earth am I going to stop that, I like doing that....grumble...grumble..grumble.. .and so on repeat until I change....
and then I stop.
That is my shocking confession, I am a reluctantly moving santified person....Thank goodness God has mercy and patience on me, or else I would still be stuck back on square one.
In truth it still shocks me to be so radically changed.
Funny-I really thought the PTL channel was a satire the first time I saw it. Found it rather a creepy satire too. Now there is that one where the lady has purple hair, and I think that is bizarre.

Back when I was filling the hole in my heart with all the wrong things.....
I would serve on church committees as a bright intelligent promising teenager and later seriously kiss my boyfriend at the time up in the church balcony.
I didn't go to all the Youth Convocation seminars Feb. of 1983. I had -a boyfriend from just about every previous camp I had attended. One on just about every floor of the dorms we stayed in......well, lmost.
God bless the youth pastor that made sure I didn't run away that year-I was pretty messed up.
I cheated on an AP History quiz-the class Valedictorian gave me the answer.
Yep-I was a sweet, naive, "good girl". "tis a wonder I didn't end up any more messed up.

One more confession.....some will laugh hysterically.....enjoy at my expense
I grew up in a very liberal UMC home. Hell was not an issue nor was sin or homosexuality or anything else.
I ruffled family feathers when I decided the Bible was true and I would be sold out to Jesus, not the UMC.
Recently I attended a powerful, intense healing seminar. Now I'm not only a right-wing, fundamentalist waxko, i think I've turned charismatic as well. As Rachel Ray would say....ON MY GRAVY....
Please don't tell my mom. I will neither confirm or deny this and I will destroy all evidence etc etc etc

I read the first 6 pages of this thread so I don't know what's in between here and the end of page six, but here's my shocking revelations:
I always wear a suit and tie to church. Never shorts & flip-flops.
I have a giant 6 inch in diameter blue M&M on my desk to remind me of the end times.
I never tell my wife that something makes her look fat, even if it does.
I have to take notes during the pastor's sermon so I don't fall asleep.

Now...here is the "shocking" part. As I drifted off to a very restless sleep the night before (I drank too much caffeine...OH NO!! 
) the auditors came, I thought about buying a mannequin/dummy and leaving it on the kitchen floor in a pool of fake blood like a CSI crime scene with a hidden video camera, just to see what reaction I'd get out them auditors. Yes...I THOUGHT about it! 
Dressing up chickens in doll clothes that would fit (sort of). 
Telling my mother my sisters were up to "no good" with some neighbour boys who they were meeting with one night. My oldest sister really hated me after that. I was egged on to talk to mom by one of the boys younger sisters who was my age. 
Writing on the blackboard "the teacher is a pig" as a joke.
