In Washington state, you have to give notice of your intention to move out of a place 20 days before your lease is up. A woman from my apartment complex called me at work 19 days before my lease ended ( Read more... )

I am 100% jealous of your liquor-store nearness! And your liquor store, for that matter. Man, I enjoy the LCBO and all that, but...damn, I think the Yanks are onto something, what with being able to buy beer at gas stations and such!
Also happy move!

Don't be jealous. I miss the LCBO. It's nicer than the liquor stores here.

Yeah, what the hell's up with that? I swear to god, every American liquor store I've ever been to is owned and operated by some drugged-as-fuck looking smut-peddler who's always more interested in staring off into the distance than ringing up my shit. God forbid it ever occur to them to sweep their filth-ridden, Les Mis'-esque places of business a couple of times a year, too.

Sorry, I'm just pissed off. I went out tonight in hopes of picking up some Jones' Soda and found that while my local liquor stores stocked glow sticks, cream cheese, and massive selections of pornography (for what can only be tactfully described as "catering to a diverse audience"), actual BEVERAGES were in short supply.

No Jones to be found. And I was not in the mood to compensate by taking advantage of the wide range of BBW media so courteously made available.

Swear to god, the guy working the register was wearing a button-up long-sleeve shirt made entirely out of rats.

But that's the beauty of the system! If you don't like a liquor store...drive another 10 ft. down the line and stop at the local gas shop! Or a grocer's! Or hell, any store, 'cause they all sell booze!

I really have to admit that the liquor store situation was shady as fuck there. The guy looked like he was straight out of a biker gang - scraggly beard, wife beater, tattoos all over. And dark, and unclean... wow.

Secondly, it was really true that your place was near nothing. A 20 minute walk in search of some kind of coffee only brought me a little further away from the lake. And not in any way appreciably nearer to coffee.

*The establishment was dark and unclean. Not the dude. Although maybe he was unclean too... I didn't check.

No they don't. They all sell beer. Pretty key distinction.

And trust me, if you'd gone to a liquor store here, you'd appreciate the LCBO a whole lot more.

Oh, and I'm super-glad to hear your move is over. *thumbs up*
