Welcome to the Machine.

What the hell is a HUD inspection?

Housing and Urban Development. Trust me you want to stay far away from them..

i've never heard of them either...

Well, when you hardly make enough money to pay your rent (not to mention the other bills) HUD is a heaven send.

I don't get it. Why would the check your homes? What is it for? I'd call that an invasion of privacy no?

And why would you have one, you live by yourself Jan?

Basically, they either pay your rent or give you somewhere to live. Which is nice. The catch is; there's so many rules to follow you can barely find time to get on your feet again. I checked into it once..

they help us pay our rent. Our rent is $900 something, we pay $100 something

Janiel, ive got to say, that girl in that there box is positively disturbing. what the hell, is she TRYING to make herself look like a freak? its sad, she might actually be pretty if she got that stupid stuff out from under her eyes, fixed her hair so it doesnt look like she's never washed it, and wore a dress that doesnt make her look like a doll.

shes scaring me..........

Thank's for the insight

Man, an inspection? Sounds like the Secret Police, or something. Sorry, man.

So you have to remove the land mines? Dammit, getting past those used to be an accomplishment.

Hopefully they don't deem those kitties unsafe. Good luck, since I nearly killed myself more than enough times to warrant a count while I was visiting.

hehe, we have to hide the cats We aren't suposed to have any...lol

Well, I would offer to give 'em a sleeping place for the night, if my own cats weren't such... animals. I don't think you'd want me to return them in multiple pieces. !

Nah, we usually hide them in the laundry room. We also say that room is the neighbors, because it's like uncleanable.

Well, if they ever do the white-glove test and find cat hair, then what? I hate sterilizing the house >_>

They aren't THAT picky...they just want everything to be spotless to the naked eye

Do they actually step inside? Or do they just poke their heads in and make a few notes on a clip board? Actually, RIGHT after the inspection I need to come over, just to see the differences

Hey, I should bring my camera and take some before-and-after shots!

1. Yes, they come in all the way, they test things to make sure everything is safe. Lights etc.

2. NO! I won't allow you to take pictures....ok...maybe i will....maybe

Aww, you KNOW pictures would rock. Granted I don't kill myself walking around inside.

I'm surprised there haven't been any nasty accidents yet

I bet they would notice blood stains on the carpet, though.

nah, I i just toss a throw rug on any nasty little stains, if they ask i say it's grape wine, works everytime
