If her name is on it, then she's legally just as responsible for damages, fees, etc. as you are. Tell her to go pound sand. -- Reno "If you can't say something nice about somebody, you must be talking about Hillary Clinton." -- Jeff Foxworthy

Look carefully on the lease for the answer: If she signed it, and there's a phrase about "jointly and severally liable" for damages/fees/etc., then no, she doesn't. If you are the only person that signed the lease, then you've got a tougher road. Then, too, she'd have no way to prove she ever paid you any money for the security deposit (unless you gave her a reciept, in which case you could, perhaps, show that the reciept was for a share of the deposit, and thus that she DID live there...) Complicated enough yet? Read the lease. If she's on it, she's equally responsible for the money. That's the ideal outcome. Beyond that, get a lawyer. -- Reno "If you can't say something nice about somebody, you must be talking about Hillary Clinton." -- Jeff Foxworthy

I don't know about that... I've been known to sleep in till noon, crawl out of the tent, make it all the way to the hammock and beer cooler, then drink beer and read my book until I pass out in the hammock. Later that evening, I might wake up, take a look at my ropes and gear, think about climbing for a few minutes, and then go to sleep for the night. -- Reno "If you can't say something nice about somebody, you must be talking about Hillary Clinton." -- Jeff Foxworthy

Yep. I used to get pretty nasty migraines before I learned what my "triggers" were... haven't had one in years. But Imitrex... Best medication ever made. I had the injector, and migraines went from 6-8 horus of pure hell to 30 seconds away from no more headache. -- Reno "If you can't say something nice about somebody, you must be talking about Hillary Clinton." -- Jeff Foxworthy

Got it... "moo chess grassyass" -- Reno "If you can't say something nice about somebody, you must be talking about Hillary Clinton." -- Jeff Foxworthy

OK, so I've got a total Wuffo/Gumby/nOOb question that I've got to ask. Bear with me, cause I ain't all that bright, and sometimes I'm downright stoopid: I get an e-mail when someone here sends me a PM. While I don't mind the PM at all, and actually want to thank everyone for making me feel welcome, I would like to turn off the automatic e-mail notification when a PM is sent. How do I do that? . . . We now return you to your regularly scheduled forum. -- Reno "If you can't say something nice about somebody, you must be talking about Hillary Clinton." -- Jeff Foxworthy

Um, I'm here to represent. Or whatever. So... who wants to talk politics? -- Reno "If you can't say something nice about somebody, you must be talking about Hillary Clinton." -- Jeff Foxworthy

Pretty accurate, really. A few hairs to split, though: 5.9 is more of a moderate, middle grade. 5.12 or so is where the line between "mere mortals" and "crazy-sick gecko-people" is usually drawn. Anything harder than 5.12 (as of now, the highest grade is 5.15, and only three or four people in the world have done climbs that hard,) typically requires dedicated training, frequent climbing, etc. Those poor saps like myself that can only get out and climb two or three times a month (I've got a morgtage, a girlfriend, two dogs, three horses, and a cat....) don't often get much better than 5.11. Some terminology: Free climbing means using your hands and feet on the rock to climb up, and gear to protect you if you fall. Aid climbing is a different animal, and uses the rope and other gear to move up. Soloing is climbing alone (and can be done with a rope or without.) Free Soloing is free climbing without a rope (you fall = you die.) Best, -- Reno "If you can't say something nice about somebody, you must be talking about Hillary Clinton." -- Jeff Foxworthy

I will not come to the dark side. I will use the force only for good. There is righteousness and purity in my heart. Fear and anger are the path to the dark side... I must resist...must not give in... must... keep... going... ;) -- Reno -- Reno "If you can't say something nice about somebody, you must be talking about Hillary Clinton." -- Jeff Foxworthy
