Nanny Goats Soap Box
What a picture! Loved it!
Sherry at EX Marks the Spot
If you become so cantankerous that you're putting out signs like that, just sell the damn thing!
I can't believe I'm second to comment! And it's after 5p.m. Everyone must be on vacation! Good for me!
Okay...that goat picture?
Um...wow.
You're paying for my therapy, right?
I am emailing this link to my friend - she is a "landlord" and this is going to be right up her alley!!!
Hmmm, I didn't think Kevin needed braces but you never know....
[whew] I thought you saw me yelling at passing cars and were gonna give me that award. [wiping brow]
LOL!!

Love that sign. Sometimes you have to be firm ya know?
The goat. Not so much.
You never fail to create genuine, out-loud laughter when I visit, I love it!
I must say, I've been lucky with landlords, though I am a good tenant - so that my have something to do with it.
First time landlords...the tenants, stole the washing machine, cut a hole in the door for their cats (At least they COULD go outside to poop, didn't though), left a camping porta potty in the living room (evidentally they couldn't figure out how to cut a hole in the bathroom door for themselves), left two junk cars in the yard, broke several windows, AND then sued us for not returning their deposit. (Didn't get to court, momma went a little nuts on their crazy ass) Sold the house, last time landlords.
Oh and goats don't have upper front teeth, so that goat is a orthodonic MIRACLE!
Oh I wish I had some disturbing news to report about tenants.
A nice childless middle aged couple with a small dog dressed in people clothes sounds like a good choice of tenant.
Loved the pictures, the post, the everything. Bahahaha. Thanks for it all, Margaret. 
That sign is great!
I've always been a renter and I've always taken good care of the property I'm renting. I would never think of destroying something that wasn't mine.
My animals are all housebroken and don't have accidents anymore but when they vomit on the carpet, I clean it up as soon as I see it, or in most cases step in it.
I have no landlord/tenant stories to tell, although I'd probably tell more from the side of seeing bad landlords. I've never been a landlord myself. I don't know if I'd like an...ahem...old goat like yourself being my landlord.
As for Crotchety, he deserves the award. Nicely done.
I have never been a landlord or a tenant. Unless you count living with my mother, which I did until I was 25. Which, now that I put that in writing, seems awkward and sad.
We were landlords once. The renters had their grown son and his young child move in and they had to lock the door into the garage to keep the son out of it so he wouldn't steal from them.
Nice....
Once they left, we fixed up the house and sold it. Enough of that BS.
As for Joe, he's the best and I hope he is well soon. I think his blogging friends mean a lot to him.
You're too funny. Wishing you the best of luck in your new adventure. All I can say is screen, screen, screen your tenants.
Presendital faces of pee....that's a keeper. I'll ask my dog if he can do Nixon.
Lords of the land, land of the lord, either way it sucks.
Nice Crotchety award! I am sure if you print it out and shellac it to a piece of wood he'd wear it proudly.
My wife and I were landlords for 14 years during the last housing crises. It was great! We never, ever had a single problem! Really, I swear! Once you've gone landlord, you'll never go back to being a common serf! It's great! Loved it! Very profitable! Enjoy yourself! You know what? I think world peace is right around the corner, too! Wow!
Love the award for DOM and I have to say, I did not brace myself enuff before I scrolled down to the goat pic
I've never rented or been a landlord...but good luck!! Hope you have tenants who are the cream of the crop!
And man - what a dedicated blogger that guy is!
I'm not sure I would characterize that sign as PASSIVE aggressive, exactly ...
Maybe you should get a third house between the two cities. That way, you can stay there to regroup when you feel like your life's overly complicated.

That's one of my best landlord stories.
Awesome award for the old man!!!
Love it!
So that's why you commute!
Good luck with the renting. I'll drive by your house and stalk your renters to help keep them in line if you want
Happy 4th!
You know, I'd love to keep your house company and would offer my services for free!
now that would be the ultimate Calgon bath getaway! a gal from Appalachia to turn up in LA! ha!
Happy Fourth!
p.s. my teen goat has braces too!
Soweet Grillz!
i just made a grover cleveland on the patio hee hee hee!
I SOOOOOOOOOO need a sign like that for my renters. lol. Maybe another one that says "Pay your fucking rent on time or GTFO!"
Ahhh, i feel MUCH better now!
They do presidents? All I can pull off is shapes of clouds...
i LOVE that picture!
no tenant/landlord horror stories. just wishing you good luck!
Here's a sign for all the I'll-Do-It-Myself-Cuz-I-Control-the-World landlords out there:
TO MY LANDLORD:
Because I pay my rent on time everytime and I take care of this home like it's my own . . . Answer your fucking phone and emails when I call to tell you the house you leased me has problems that you are responsible for fixing! That warranty issue with the water running down the inside of the wall? That's you! That dead-for-8-months dishwasher? That's yours! That water bill you keep forgetting to put in my name? THAT'S ALL YOUR FUCKING RESPONSIBILITY!
Sorry. You brought it up.
Oh, man! Feel better, Crotchety! I had no idea . . .
Meanwhile, goat grill? It's awesome. It's what all the fashionable goats will be wearing in 2010.
I have no stories to tell....although we found ourselves being homeowners AND renters for over a year. I L-O-A-T-H-E the propery manager that we paid our rent to every month. In cash. On the first. She was pretty impressed with herself. I think she was the only one.
Hope your blogger friend recovers quickly. I left a note for him...and spent a couple of hours reading some of his older posts. He's a hoot!
The goat with the braces frightens me. Reminds me of something that would show up my dreams if I was ill with a 102 degree fever.
That goat has very scary eyes.
That? Is the GREATEST Sign EVER. Your landlord is awesome even if he is a dick.
I am a big fan of Joe's...He's the first thing I read on Wednesdays (caption this contest day)...
and I am going to show that picture of th goat in braces to the 9 year old ...if she doesn't stop chewing pen caps and ice - this could be her!
You are a class act, Margaret. That was such a nice shout-out to Da Old Man.
