Damn it!!!! Now I am sick, and angry.
I just wrote a really long post, thanking everyone who helped me move, and telling everyone about my stupid car that doesn't want to fix, and random other crap, and go figure I lose the entire thing.
I just spent like an hour writing it.
I will rewrite it later, too upset to right now.
Stupid notebook computer. So angry right now.

It's been too long...
Wow, it has been two weeks. Sorry, to any and all that read. I guess I have lot to make up for...
Let's start at the beginning.
1- Supposed to be moving within a few weeks here, and have found a place... Here's how this story goes.
We decided we liked the townhouses that are right next to my work, and so we applied for a 3 bedroom, as we were told we would have 3 or 4 from which we could choose our favorite. This was one of those companies where you have to give a deposit as you submit your application, and so we, rather, Chris, forked over $600.00. We were told we could have the $600.00 refunded if we chose not to move ther. We waited a week afterwards, and were told we were approved. We arranged everything and gave our notice to our present Landlords.
A week after we were approved, we were informed that there were no three bedrooms available, and that we would have to move into a two bedroom if we wanted a suite for March 1st. We were informed that we could transfer to a three bedroom when one became available, which could be as soon as April 1st, but was not for sure.
We, feeling like we had no choice because we had already given notice, felt like we had no other options (didn't want to stay downtown, too expensive for commuting).
Then, a few days ago, we went and looked at a 2 bedroom suite in another building. It is an apartment, not a townhouse, so it is much more secure, includes TONS MORE (I did a pros and cons list... trust me, there was barely any reason to move into the townhouse... too much extra cost, and stress dealing with these people, as you will read.).
Anyway, we were approved the same day, and the damage deposit hasn't even been given to them yet... Totally opposite end of the spectrum when we compared them...
So, we contacted the landlord of the Townhouses, and said that we 'were unable to move at this time because of financial issues', and they have now decided to tell us that we cannot have the money back unless we move in, stay for awhile and then leave, where they will take a chunk out of it anyway for cleaning and/or whatever.
I voted for the option of moving into the townhouse for a month, and giving notice on the first day to move out, thereby getting our security deposit back, and moving into the place we really want.
I like to think of it as manipulating the system...
But Chris, and he slowly but surely convinced Jarrod, and then me, to just tell them that we will get our money back, and go to the other place, the one we want, and fight with these people.
I would have had no big problem moving twice, but everyone else was against me...
Gonna have to go now, will conclude later...
Basically moving on the 23rd and 24th, mostly the 24th, and Anybody who is off and bored and feels like helping is more than welcome...
Gotta go, I will add more later.
Me.
