But see, somehow it's all my fault. Nevermind that I called the landlord (his dad) as soon as I figured out we had no hot water. I should have been able to do more, I guess...

Unless he has some bizarre idea that you took to it with a sledge-hammer, how is it your fault? You used it too much, or was it that the water was too watery? It's one thing to grumble, another to blame.

It is definitely one of his faults to blame people for things that are no one's fault. And it's getting on my feckin nerves!!!!!!!!!

I would suggest if you tell him nicely, make sure you're holding the sledge hammer you took to the water heater.

Let him fulfill his obligation. Issue him AND his family each a set of snowshoes and a burlap bag, then let them clear a mine field.

Mr PantyFanatic, I'm surprised at you. You, in your secret identity as SuperEngineeringMan, should know that snowshoes are a loadspreading device, and as such inappropriate for that purpose. Now pogo sticks, there's another story . . .

Pogo sticks? Too small a contact area. Maybe a snowshoe fastened to the tip of the pogo.
We should work together on these worthwhile projects more often.

Many of these devices have threshold weights to stop sheep and rabbits from setting them off. Reference "Teller Mine". Pogo stick gives you sufficient pounds per square inch to go over that limit (probably). Apart from that, it makes them look ridiculous.

Yet again, it is pet "owners." I am fostering a 4 year old Basset Hound because his owners gave him up. I think they were just looking for a reason to get rid of him. They kept him and an old Lab mix out in their garage. They bought some chicks and the Basset decided that they looked tasty (he is a hunting breed...what did they expect???). So then they decided to buy more chicks and put them out on the front porch...not away from the dog. They bought a third set of chicks and left them out for several hours. Why the idea of supervising their dog or putting the chicks where he couldn't get them is totally foreign to them is beyond me. The end result is a nice doggie that needs a home because of stupid people. They left him at the animal hospital and don't care what happens to him.

Sorry to hear AV. I wish I could do something to help out. Unfortunately, we don't really have the room for any more. With 1 dog, 3 cats, 1 bird, and fish (I would like to point out here that these are not my animals they are my Dad's wife's), we don't have the room for anything else.
