Q. California - is it legal for 3 people to live in one studio?

the three people living above me are terrorizing me every day with their stomping. their studio apartment is exactly like mine: 14 * 11.6 feet for the living room/bedroom. this excludes the kitchen and bathroom area and the closet. the problem is that with 3 of them, there is very frequent stomping from above, which disturbs me a great deal. is it even legal in california to allow 3 people to be living in a studio of this size?

Q. Is there a portable air conditioner that does not require draining of liquid condensate?

i live in southern california on the second floor of an apartment complex. there is one wall mounted ac in the living room, but it doesn't even begin to reach my room when turned on full blast. i need to get a portable ac for my bedroom (relatively small in size) since the window configuration does not allow a traditional window mounted unit. of all the ones i've looked into, the only fault customers have consistantly complained about is that a tray of some sort needs to be placed under the air conditioner to collect the water removed from the air, and it tends to spill all over the floor when trying to drain. is there a model that would allow the draining of the water through a tube connected to the window in small amounts (i don't want to rain down buckets of water on people walking down below), or maybe even an innovative new design that bypasses the need to collect and empty condensate all together? thanks :d

Q. A nice house or appartment to rent that allows large dogs?

i'm getting out of the army in about two months and i plan on moving back to california. my spouse and i have been looking for a place to live online, but it's very difficult to find an apartment or house that would allow us to keep our german shepherd. almost all the places i've checked have either said they don't allow dogs at all, or dogs under 50lbs, which our dog is not. i am not re-homing my dog. he's family. i'm just asking you fine people if you may know of any places, apartment or house, that will allow us to keep our dog with us? i'm looking for something that's at max, an hour away by regional transit of american river college. i'm hoping for a 2 bedroom apartment/house, but will settle for 1bedroom (no studio) if push comes to shove. would love to have a fenced in backyard (doesn't have to be big, i just want to be able to take my dog out there once in a while besides his walks). i'm looking at a price range of 800-1000, but will go a little higher for a nice area and a good roof over my family's head. thank you in advance for all your help. -k.r.

Q. I need help... please...?

my name is angela decker and i am 21 years old. i turn 22 in march and i live in lodi california. my boyfriend aaron roth and i both share a home in lodi california, a cute and clean 1 bedroom apartment and we have a son, noah lee roth, who is going to be 4 months on february 6th 2008. noah was born on october 6th 2008 at lodi memorial hospital. he is the best thing that has happened to the both of us. aaron works at st. peters church/school as the maintenance manager. he started december 1st 2008. he loves his job and they love him. me, i'm a stay home mother, at least i was. i was diagnosed with epilepsy when i was 12 years old; the condition came out of nowhere, however it is controlled by medication. one of the emotions that can trigger an episode of epilepsy: extreme stress and or depression. aaron is a diabetic and has type1 diabetes. aaron is insulin dependent, his condition is controlled by this medication and he takes very good care of himself, which enables him to take care of his family, myself and our son noah. prior to meeting aaron, i was not familiar with the disease (diabetes), however despite our own medical conditions we have been able to live a good quality of life learning a lot from each other. some people in the world may feel their different because they have a handicap, i do not feel that way, i feel we are all alike and everyone deserves to be treated fairly and without discrimination. as a young parent, as some would describe, in my mind being a young parent is actually a blessing. i also believe in god and that he would not allow me to make such decisions as having a baby if i am not yet ready to do so and i believe babies are a gift from the lord himself. our son means the world to us.... he's our life.... with that said, i am officially reporting and it should be so noted that on december 20th 2008, cps took my son away from my boy friend and i, and the events leading up to that action are unfounded and unwarranted. i am also writing to report the un-professional, disconnected and zero public relations cps staff has/is demonstrating are appalling and unacceptable. myself and family members have been miss treated and treated unfairly by the state agency so named as child protective services(cps), but above all and most importantly i feel it necessary to report the neglect cps and perhaps some doctors involved has demonstrated regarding the health and welfare of my son noah lee roth. example: my grandmother is opting to divorce my step-grandfather in effort to maintain the squeaky clean living environment required in hopes to receive custody of noah form cps custody. in short, my grandfather, in his younger days did something very childless, nothing malicious, but apparently against the views of cps as suitable. again we are talking one small issue 30 years ago (streaked across the parking lot on a silly dare). to think my grandparents divorcing over this is ludicrous as they are happily married and would do anything for their great-grandson. what happened on december 20, 2008 and noted below will surely prove the worst thing that has ever happened to me and my family. my new wonderful life with our son had just begun and was brought to a halt abruptly and perpetuated any parent's worst nightmare. noah was 8lbs, 20 1/2 in. full head of hair and the cutest baby ever. noah's due date was october 9th. but he came on the 6th, by a c-section due to my seizures. we stayed in the hospital for 4 days. when we were discharged noah was 7lbs 15oz. he had a little bit of jaundice. but otherwise the doctors sent him home and felt he was ok. it took awhile for me to heal from giving birth, but aaron was there all the time, an excited daddy. when noah made even a peep at night, dad (aaron) was awake and looking and checking over him. when noah was 11 days old (oct.17, 2008) i made a doctors appointment, i felt there was something wrong; his right upper eyelid had more redness than normal. i noticed noah had been grabbing at it and it looked swollen for 2 days. i contacted dr. stammers' office, we went in for a appointment and they prescribed noah medication. noah is now 2 weeks of age (oct. 24, 2008) again, we contacted the doctor because he had diarrhea and vomiting for 2 days. my niece had a viral gastroenteritis and he was exposed to it, so the doctor recommended we watch for signs of dehydration. again, we were sent home with noah. noah is now 3 weeks of age. (oct.29, 2008) we took noah back to the doctor, he was still vomiting, dr. stammler stated noah is ok and healthy. noah is now 4 weeks of age (nov. 7, 2008), still vomiting after every bottle, so we took him back to the doctor (10-24-08, 10-29-08 and now 11-7-08) why haven't dr.stammler found anything? we changed his formula to soy milk advised by dr.stammler to add a small amount of
