Backstory: I am the youngest of 4 children, my mother was terrified for me to leave home and live on my own. I finally found a roommate and a place we could afford, this was her answer to my email informing her of our plans. The funny part is, we aren’t immigrants…
Grumble,,….grumble,…. You don’t know this girl very well….she could leave you stranded with a lease……she could stab you while you sleep…..she could pour boiling hot coffee on you at breakfast…….valley park??? It floods there!!!! There are bugs there!!!!! They don’t rent to immigrants like you!!!!

She could stab you while you sleep!

I know exactly where this is. lol It does flood there and they do have an overabundance of mosquitoes. However, its not a bad place.

hmm…valley park in st louis floods all the time as well…
May 30, 2008 at 2:49 am
I’m from STL and I know where VP is. Too funny. I hate to agree with yo momma and all her crazy logic, but Valley Park? You’re not an immigrant, but they’re all crazy and hating out there. Of course they probably have good deals on rent now that they kicked out all of the immigrants.
May 30, 2008 at 10:07 am
Hahaha, this is very funny……Has anybody heard about Lindsey Lohan and Eugene Osei, I’ve read she is pregnant with his child…
May 30, 2008 at 12:20 pm
THIS is very funny to me because I live in St. Louis and know Valley Park floods AND they are anti-illegal immigrant! Hope you have healed from your coffee burns!!!
June 1, 2008 at 12:53 am
I used to live in VP but i got out of that hell hole and moved up in the world to F*TOWN!!!!!!
June 1, 2008 at 8:27 pm
It DOES flood in Valley Park (from a fellow STL dweller) — maybe your mom was referring to the ban VP put on renting apartments to immigrants? (Although, it does not explain why she thought YOU were an immigrant…) :)
Hilarious!

Your mom sounds a whole lot like my mom. PS – Valley Park does flood and parts of it are seriously sketch. There’s affordable housing in lots of places that won’t require a pontoon boat for travel!
