<div>So here’s the story:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I went to a Halloween party and talk about justified scariness… I got bedbugs. Brought ‘em home (not intentionally) and now I’m covered in bites… I look like a small pox victim.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But, you say, that’s the landlord’s responsibility! Part right. He has to pay the exterminator (first time only, I think). I have to pay:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Initial Dry Cleaner
</div>
<div>$70.52
</div>
<div>(coat + sleeping bag, paid)
</div>
<div>mass laundry &amp; heat treatment
</div>
<div>$375
</div>
<div>(estimate)
</div>
<div>mattress disposal
</div>
<div>$10
</div>
<div>(estimate)
</div>
<div>New Big Mattress
</div>
<div>$1000
</div>
<div>(estimate)
</div>
<div>Hotel during spray time
</div>
<div>$120
</div>
<div>(estimate)
</div>
<div>New Clothing (estimate)
</div>
<div>while rest is heat treated
</div>
<div>$50
</div>
<div>Further Dry Cleaning
</div>
<div>(2 suit jackets &amp; heavy coat)
</div>
<div>(estimate)
</div>
<div>$90
</div>
<div>Prescription Medication
</div>
<div>95.42
</div>
<div>(insect purge, itch cream, sleep drug, paid)
</div>
<div>Total:
</div>
<div>$1810.94 (plus credit card, GoFund fees)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And that’s only if it works. Usually exterminators require a bare apartment, stripped down to the walls. The landlord found one that only requires me to remove cloth and destroy my non-protected mattress. If the bugs come back, that means I have to remove everything I own, pack it up, have it shipped to a storage facility, then stored while the exterminator does the whole thing again. If I have to pay for the exterminator too, that could double the price.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m not (yet) asking for the “goes wrong” money. I just need to cover my initial expenses. If (when) something else goes wrong… or the bugs survive the first blast… I’ll ask again. I really appreciate this… and please, don’t tell my family members… they’re libel to give more than they can afford!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Murphy’s Law: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
</div>
<div>Board’s Law: Even if nothing can go wrong, it STILL will go wrong.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks a lot. I know my friends aren’t rich… but every dime helps.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Oh yeah, don’t forget my legal name is Michael… not Mykel.
</div>
