Time Lapse Takeover

A year ago we bought a condo for the man cub to live in during the rest of his time at MSU.  Made sense, overall it will be cheaper than rent, and putting in a roommate practically covered the costs.  That was the plan.....

1.  We said no pets.  In comes a kitten.  We said cats ruin furniture

2.  $1100 couch now has holes in it.

3.  We said no pets.  In comes a dog.  We said dogs ruin furniture.

4.  IKEA chair chewed up.

5.  We said roommate stays.  The rent is your spending money.  Last month of spring semester, roommate is told to move out.

6.  Girl friend officially moves in.  Still under a lease for an apartment.  Not paying rent.

7.  $1100 leather couch with holes gets sold to shackup's sister for $200.  Are you kidding me????

8.  Nice plush oriental rug is retuned to us. 'It sheds".

9.  All living room furniture we put in the condo is now gone.

10.  Another pet.  A great dane, plus the cat and other dog.  (Shackup's parents have great Danes)

11.  Kitchen inventory slowly being replaced.  Coffeepot gone.    calophon cookware replaced with cheap set that can be put in the dishwasher.

12.  Satellite TV contract canceled, now TV used for internet stuff.  No local news, no TV football, etc....

13.  Second bedroom now a storage room,  closet full with you know what, and second bathroom now occupied.

14.  Complaint that the comode bowl has too much water in it.  Guessing her water pressure is causing a splashback!

15.  Condo no longer has look and feel of a male college abode.  Shack up has officially moved in and claimed it "hers".

16.  Both will graduate in May 2016.  Man cub will got to work.  Shackup plans to go to Vet School at MSU.  Condo will be listed for sale June 2016.


Man cub is an honor student majoring in electrical engineering.  So far all A's and just one B.  Studies all the time.  Doing the CO-OP to make sure EE is the right occupation choice.  Shackup has the implant, hoping it continues to work.  Hurts to see all this happening to him.  Keeping mouth closed, trying not to drive a wedge.  June 2016 can't get here fast enough.

This one didn't make it to FB for obvious reasons.  Head clearing time......
