Sinus Surgery and Houses
Added 2018-08-21 19:59:10 +0000 UTCHi guys, long time no post. My life has been a hot mess the past couple months. Here's a short summary: my sinuses are terrible, and nobody wants to rent a house to us :(
- Sinus Surgery -
I've been suffering from sinus problems long before I knew I had sinus problems. They become infected 3-5 times a year, and cause drowsiness AND dizziness for a couple weeks at a time. Apparently sinuses can mess with your equilibrium. To try and fix the issue I had balloon sinuplasey surgery a couple weeks ago (they reluctantly let cameramanjohn film it all). Surgery involves permanent expansion of your sinus drainage by inflating a tiny balloon to "remold" the surrounding bony tissue (there were crunching sounds). The picture above shows the guide light illuminating my frontal sinus. So far it feels like surgery was successful, but we'll see. This will be the next video.
- Trying to find a new place that doesn't have wheels -
Long story short instead of buying a house we've decided to rent a house with another YouTube channel. Not saying who, until it actually happens. Only issue is the rental market in Ventura is tight.. I think we've been rejected from 7 places so far. Not like we failed the application, but the landlord had an applicant willing to sign a longer lease, or they don't like the idea of adult roomates (idk.. it's dumb). Check out my spreadsheet showing all the rentals I've contacted:
Thank you for the support, and I promise to post Patreon updates more frequently.

I'm very likely going to get this done soon too. Chronic sinus problems suck a lot. This doesn't look as bad as it sounded the last time doc suggest it.

2018-08-22 06:05:48 +0000 UTCI'm ready to try that. I could not have predicted how difficult it was going to be.

2018-08-22 05:30:39 +0000 UTCYou look like Iron Fist, except it's your face... Iron Face! π Seriously though, hang in there. Would it help to ask in a video if anyone knows of any rental opportunities in Ventura (in passing of course)?

2018-08-22 02:33:57 +0000 UTCWilliam Osman I love you and want to smother you in peanut butter. Would that help your sinuses?

2018-08-21 22:56:09 +0000 UTCThis sounds like they'd need to flat out deny you, like leaving the rental vacant even though you applied and qualified. Thank you though :)

2018-08-21 21:09:04 +0000 UTCShould I delete it, or buy another dog?

2018-08-21 21:00:30 +0000 UTCIf each of your patrons sent you a brick and a 2x4 in the mail, you'd be well on your way to being able to build yourself a house. Btw does the top tier on your Patreon still stand? Because you maybe ought to add a caveat to the description. #RIPBarkley

2018-08-21 20:42:06 +0000 UTCJust an FYI - if landlords are actually refusing to rent you because you're a group of adult/unmarried roommates, this may be a violation of CA fair housing law, which prevents discrimination based on "marital status": <a href="http://www.gblafairhousing.org/marital-status/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.gblafairhousing.org/marital-status/</a>
