QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 03:21 PM) What city do you live in? And are they trying to keep a "security deposit" or a "credit application fee". They are trying to keep as it as a non refundable first month's rent deposit.

I live in Chicago Soxbadger. Also she used her debit card so I'm not sure how that changes things but the only thing I think we should be paying here is an application fee which I am more than happy to give to them but after this debacle, I'm ready to tell them to go kick rocks and give us everything back.

Got a new event. My gf and I decided to move in together and rent a place. We filled out the application got approved. We decided before any leases were signed that we didn't want the place anymore (over the span of 2 days and they are trying to rent this place August 1st mind you, this happened last Wednesday). They basically claim they can keep the deposit since we're reneging. Mind you that no leases were signed just the application which had legal jargon up the wazoo stating that if you sign this we can keep your deposit. However, the criteria that wasn't met because the lease wasn't signed. So they charge her credit card and are refusing to give it back. I'm letting her handle it since it was her credit card but this situation just seems shady. Most places, you just fill out the application and if you're approved, you sign a lease. I've never heard of putting a deposit down to fill out an application. What do you people think? Update: They rented the unit for August 1st and are trying to charge her $408 instead of the $1679. To me that screams they are some shady f***ers.

Normally they'll ask if you have any planned vacations.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 12:58 PM) Damn, if it was the Deerfield location I would've been able to drop you off easily, but Round Lake is pretty far out from where I work. You work at Baxter?

Had a phone interview with Baxter labs yesterday and they scheduled a face to face interview for next Tuesday. The problem, it's in f***ing Round Lake, IL. straight. f***ing. boonies. I plotted a metra course but it only gets me 3.0 miles away from the lab. Anyone live out or near this area that could give me tips?

Tflo doesn't lead the league in SO if that's what someone said earlier.

Get that trade value up Gordo.

I took Germany just because of Neymar but I'm not really a soccer expert so.

Ok guys, the key is me not watching the games. Whenever I have watched, they have lost. So I'll be signing out for a while.

I don't get teams that don't attack. The Swiss just let Argentina barrage them all game.

I almost want to say, it's soccer and anything can happen but I can't see powerhouses like France and Germany losing today.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 29, 2014 -> 07:58 PM) How did Campbell play today for C.R.? I tried to wake up at 4 a.m., then 5 a.m. around halftime and couldn't quite motivate myself to get up... Yeah he did. Scored on his PK too.

Greece deserved to lose that game. You can't have a man advantage that long and not capitalize.

Won that bet haha. I bet on a tie at the last minute and squeaked by. $100 turned in to $215.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 29, 2014 -> 02:31 PM) He can be a career backup easily. I think Tflo was more efficient as a back up for sure.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 29, 2014 -> 01:15 PM) I wrote that Mexico should've kept attacking. Holland went foward but Mexico didn't try and control the ball, they just went to full defensive mode with way too much time. They had this game but didn't go for the kill, this game was winnable. The Robben penalty was a flop but the ref didn't call the clear one near the end of the first half. Anyways, it was a nice showing considering Mexico looked like crap in the CONCACAF tourney. Yeah I agree with this. Get that second goal then consider the turtle. I hate that playing to preserve a lead strategy; play to f***ing win.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 29, 2014 -> 12:58 PM) Yeah, I agree. They don't play teams like Netherlands very often, but I don't recall seeing Mexico play that defensively. Pretty crazy ending. They didn't send that many men forward. I know you want to avoid counter attacks but still, they need a 2nd goal before you goal full blown turtle.

Damn Mexico should have just kept attacking. That turtle s*** can always back fire.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jun 29, 2014 -> 09:59 AM) That is a horrible way to decide who to bet on. Plus the group with Italy,Uruguay and England isnt looking that great now that we've seen how those teams played. If I had to play this game, I'd take Greece at PK +100 for first 90 minutes. If it ties then the bet is canceled, if Greece wins then I get paid 1/1. Alright I'm going with your advice zen hopefully you don't let me down or else... What about if I bet tie for the first 90? That seems like it would be a solid bet.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 28, 2014 -> 07:13 PM) Yes sir. Ok will both games finish in 90 or extras?

Would the wise bet be Netherlands and Costa Rica for victories tomorrow?

Glad that monkey is off the Sox back.
