This was key for me too. And my resolve was my strength. Some days we need to dig deep, but ok, we dig. We don't smoke.

I am so grateful I have a job. I am grateful I have a job where I can get OT. Sometimes I can clear an incredible amount of work off my plate in short order; other times not so much.

Congratulations Stu!

So far, no smell, no lights, no sound, nada thing. They may not be home. <shrug>

Actually, I didn't laugh it off. Ever feeling the smoker's shame, I did as they asked and sulked away with my ashtray in hand.

Folks, I need some help. Smokers have moved into the townhouse unit next to mine and the stench permeates my place. Sealing the wall between is impossible as we share utility piping and well, the construction is simply not tight. I'm wondering if any of you have dealt with this and if you have tips on what works and what doesn't. Other than talking with them about it, or their rental agency, or the homeowner himself, I don't know what can be done. I don't think I have a leg to stand on other than pleading my case with them. Those good old fashioned handshakes just don't work in this world anymore. Are there any air purifiers that you swear by? Right now I'm dousing my furnace filters with essential oils and diffusing some in my humidifier. But that's just a bandaid. I'm not just bummed. I'm spitting fire mad about this. Woke up at 12:40 AM to thick, suffocating stink. I need to do something, I'm just not sure what. Advice? Thanks! (heading over to the cursing thread)

Capitalizing on recent news soundbites, I will adamantly say I do not sound like Sarah Palin. In fact, no one in Alaska sounds like the unique buttercup. Like Coloradans, Sourdough Alaskans are known to have a "neutral accent". (unless you're Sarah, or from a native village). Cheechakos have all kinds of accents.

I hope you're healing quickly. Such a drag.
