Columbia Red Label - very nice looking label
Liberty Records
ABC Paramount was probably my favorite label with a great logo.
Buena Vista was also very nice.
Warner Bros. Red Label was nice....I didn't like the orange label as much.

The manager of the building has informed me that "management is no longer responsible for air conditioner maintenance."  I have no idea when they changed this policy, given that it was still in effect in 2012 when the current unit was installed.  I also find it curious since this building was constructed so that every apartment had an AC unit to go into the wall.  If I remove my air conditioner I have a hole in my wall about 18 inches high and two feet wide going out to 82nd Street, and any insects, vermin, birds, whatever can get into the apartment from outside.

That STINKS, DR Elmore!

I mean, what do I know? But to my simple way of thinking, those were furnished by the building to be uniform and correctly spec'ed, fitted, and functioning, and are theirs to maintain. Just like heating and radiator systems. And plumbing. And stove and refrigerator.

Also to my simple way of thinking (God, I'm such a simpleton), if that truly was changed at some point, there had better have been some provable BIG ASS attention drawn to it for every tenant before it went into effect.

Window air conditioners generally don't require any maintenance that I know of, other than cleaning the filter every few months. If the unit no longer functions will they replace it?

I think it's time to get to know the people at the housing authority. Also time to review your lease. Your rent is based partly on having a working AC unit, so if it's not working and they won't maintain it it does seem like overcharging.

Can you contact Val to see what he knows, ie, is there a way to repair your AC? He should be familiar with the AC units in your building and know what options you--and other residents--have.

It's a drag, but it's best to know all your options.

Picked up some packages and came to the realization that Moron Day must have extended to today.  I've never seen anything like it, really.  At every major street where there's a separate left turn lane, the line was so long that it spilled into the other lanes, which caused back-ups two blocks long - I don't get it - what, every moron in the Valley suddenly only needs to turn left?  And at the corner of Laurel Canyon and Riverside, where the mail place is, cars were backed up for three blocks with no respite in sight - why?  Why today, when it's NEVER like that - no street work or anything like that.  Just morons.

Then I came home and made Wacky Noodles, which were very good, proofed and fixed a chart for the Kritzerland show, and while today has been VERY slow in terms of Indiegogo, we did go up to 169%.  At this point, I truly believe the Facebook BS algorithms are working overtime to make sure NO one sees these posts - they want advertising money, which I have given them twice - they want more and therefore my posts go unliked and unshared.  Very annoying.

Val has not been our super for about a year.

Window AC units and through-the-wall models are basically the same vs. a heat pump
that has ducting going to various rooms. I saw no mention of maintenance in the model description. My guess is that when it conks out you replace it.

I suggested Val because he's familar with your building. He'd know whether the ac units can be repaired in any way.

A problem with through-the-wall models is that the new models may not be the same size. Window units tend to be standard sizes. As George pointed out, they simply may not want to deal with the problem.

Jane, I'm improving, thanks. I can now take short walks and short drives. This morning I was able to do a load of laundry without assistance. I'll be returning tomorrow for my follow-up.

It sounds like you are healing in a reasonable time frame.  Vibes for a complete recovery & successful surgery.

~~~Ditto and Ditto!!~~~

Thanks, George.

DR elmore you have mentioned seeing Val on occasion and it is possible he would be willing to give you a quick answer, if he knows if they can be repaired & if so who to call, regarding the air conditioner.

Starting to watch The White Crow, Ralph Fiennes' movie about Nureyev. I didn't expect most of the movie to be in Russian, especially since David Hare wrote it. But it's fascinating. The actor playing Rudolf doesn't have the original's arrogance, but his dancing has grown as the character progresses.

We're currently at 173% but unless I'm as bad at math as I am, I think we're really at 174% and I think when I looked on my phone that's what it said, but it sure hasn't updated elsewhere.  I mean, we were at 173% and then someone took a 75-dollar perk which should have immediately brought us to 174%.

Still at 173% which just doesn't seem right at all, given that we're a mere 1300 bucks from doubling our goal.  Who is good at math?

No, vegetarian, though.  We had real cheese, but the "meat" was vegan crumbles.  It was all quite tasty.
