    What should I put on my balcony?

    Dear Trollers of MMO-Champion, I call upon you!

    I have recently received notice of a possible eviction, if I do not clear my balcony of objects to which they reject. This singular object is a good condition rubbermaid tote. I have looked over my lease and there is nothing that says we may not have items on the balcony. (Only things banned are things hanging off the balcony.) Christmas lights are also banned under these new "rules".

    So, what should I put out there?

    My lease disagrees.

    Is a gun emplacement with a .50 cal an option? If not, flowers are in this year, I heard. Also, chairs and a table. If it's fairly protected from the elements, how about a fridge?

    Reminded me of this for some reason:

    For at least two days, neighbors at a city apartment complex noticed an acrid aroma, black smoke and leaping flames coming from two barbecue grills on the balcony of a second-floor apartment.

    What, neighbors at the Red Oak Place apartments wondered, was going on in the unit where 27-year-old Timothy Wayne Shepherd lived? What was he burning at all hours, for days at a time? The answer turned their stomachs.

    According to law enforcement officials, Shepherd dismembered, and then burned the body of his former girlfriend, Tynesha Stewart, a 19-year-old Texas A&M University student. Nothing remains of Stewart’s body, Harris County Sheriff Tommy Thomas said at a press conference Saturday.

    “I just don’t know what to think about it,” said Louis Evans, whose balcony faces Shepherd’s in the quiet tree-lined enclave in northern Houston. “I thought he was a nice normal person. I guess you never know what your neighbors are doing.”

    Authorities said Shepherd has confessed to strangling and dismembering Stewart, a college freshman who was home on spring break, because he was angry that she had started a new relationship.

    Officials first thought Shepherd had disposed of her remains in a large commercial trash bin that had since been emptied, launching an intense debate in the area about whether the Sheriff’s Department should conduct a massive and expensive search of area landfills for Stewart’s remains.

    Stewart was last seen March 15 and was reported missing March 19. The next day the Harris County Sheriff’s Office homicide division launched its investigation.

    On March 16, neighbors said they first noticed the unusual activity _ and the unpleasant odor _ on Shepherd’s balcony.

    “The smell was awful,” said Evans, who also became alarmed after seeing a blaze shoot out from the grills. “I was wondering: What is he burning? Not cooking, but burning. There is a difference.”

    At times, Evans said, the flames from the grills leapt dangerously close to the roof of the balcony. Evans says he called 911, but when firefighters arrived, the flames had calmed and Shepherd assured them everything was under control.


    A leasing agent at the apartment complex also noticed the thick dark smoke and the intense flames and asked Shepherd what he was doing, Evans said. Another neighbor, 18-year-old James Hebert, told The Houston Chronicle that he often cooked out with Shepherd, and even left his grill at Shepherd’s apartment. When he wasn’t invited over, he asked his neighbor what was going on. Shepherd replied that he was cooking for a wedding, the newspaper said.

    Dionne Whitaker, 31, who lives in the complex, said she saw Shepherd carry the grill and smoker to a garbage bin a day or so later, the newspaper said.

    Well for one thing: I'd remove the storage tote

    What do your neighbors have on theirs? Are they getting threatened with eviction?

    Nah. They are okay with tables and chairs. Same with barbeques and flowers.

    Edit: Everyone is being threatened with Eviction. Other people are storing items, childrens play houses, bikes, one or two have clotheslines, some have exercise balls, fences for pets, hanging blinds to hide the sun

    Sounds like the managment never heard of 'you attract more flies with honey than with vinegar'

    they should post a list of acceptable items, and not acceptable items, and go from there. Threatening with eviction right off the bat is not very smart.

    Balconies have neither balls nor fanny, they are just balconies, so why do those crazy languages have that masculine and feminine crap? Do all you crazy foreigners go around shagging inanimate objects or something?

    Actually, don't answer that, I don't want to know.

    Get one or more of all of those things and put them on your balcony.

    Also get a sign that says "Any such items" and put that on the balcony too.

    Then maybe start looking for a new place to live. Probably do that regardless of if you do the above or not.
