After Hurricane Katrina, a city close to New Orleans passed an ordinance that said homes could only be rented to blood relatives.

I personally do not sugar coat my responses and do not attempt to simply make people feel good about them selves or their decisions.

I walk my dog 3 miles a day, everyday, and so far in three years I've had $200-300 in vet bills, and in the last 6 months cleaned blood off my dog 4 times, in 7 different fights.

Tenants and prospective tenants are really like sharks that smell one drop of blood in the water.

I was like that, but I did it with the sugar approach.  

Front-loaded with sugar on top?
