It's within 30 days for Tennessee. Thanks for the tip!

My current problem with the apartment overlord is that he is taking forever to return the deposit. I wish my roommates hadn't been so nonchalant about it.

Just like Edinburgh is said as Edin-burra.

This one is for those who are from Pennsylvania.

I have the 10.10 OS loaded for experimentation reasons and to also see if I can break it.

German W's & V's in English (V = F & W = V)
