My new nephew arrived last night. I can't explain how happy my family is. A perfect little burrito sized kidlet.
Also: legacy.

Ok, this may be a stupid question....
I listed my house for rent and I've already gotten probably 4x the response I was expecting. I set the rent at my mortgage payments + 45%. I wasn't really looking to make money - just break even on it and keep the property in case NYC doesn't work out for us.
So...ethically if we show it and have several people who are interested, is it ok to let them know there are several people interested and let them make a higher offer?

Yes. It's not like you're instigating a senseless bidding war...you're merely sitting back and hoping they start one of their own accord. Whatever the people want, right? 
It's 5:51am and I just finished my paper.

^^It's not SENSELESS...it's a "help a soon to be broke college student" bidding war.

Dear Cube Neighbor,
It is going to be 90 degrees outside today. You do not need to have a space heater plugged in. Wear a sweater if you're cold. Take some iron pills. You're effing up the temp for everyone. The heater makes the AC work harder.
Love,
AmIblue

Oh, for the love of...
Would you idiot headhunters stop calling me about full-time jobs that would require me to relocate to East Buttfuck?? ALL my profiles CLEARLY indicate that I am looking for additional part-time clients and I WILL NOT RELOCATE.

Well, I may not have done as well as I hoped, but I'm almost finished with conducting classes FOREVER!!

It's too bad you can't suggest to the girlfriend that she tell your roommate the following: "It's too bad you don't know how to GIVE a woman an orgasm." I'd love to see the look on his face........

Hahahaaaaaaa I would too. But that would be awkward.

She giggles a lot and her response is kind of muffled. She's definitely suffering, but I doubt she's cheating...unless she somehow fits cheating in with always fucking being here.

Hahhaa maybe when I move out, but thanks for the support. I would rather them figure out orgasm when I am no longer sleeping in a place where I can hear them through the vent.

Renting is different than selling, though, and bidding wars don't typically happen. I would recommend that maybe you sort through all the applications first, get everyone checked out (charge an application fee to cover the cost of credit/background check, and GET THE CREDIT/BACKGROUND CHECK), then go from there. Or you could pull it down and then list it at a higher price, if you choose to do so.
I can guarantee you that if I saw an apartment listed for $1,200 online, went to see it, and then the landlord came back at me with "lots of other people are interested" I would say "Then I'm really not." Since I'm renting, my "feelings" about the space don't matter since I can live any place that meets my standards.

I would also suggest getting a management company to collect rent, be on call for repairs. We have used one for our old place in Atlanta. Being a long distance landlord is incredibly challenging.

Auditioning for a solo while the choir director's 3-year-old grandson runs in circles around the choir screaming was ... interesting.
I did my best. Unfortunately I'm up against another strong alto and 3 or 4 sopranos for each of the solos/duets. I know I nailed the alto line on the duet, but so did the other alto. And none of the sopranos can project.  So I guess we'll see...

I see bidding wars pretty regularly. It's not the most ethical thing, but then again I live in the most competitive rental market in the country so maybe my views are a little skewed. Stuff like that may not fly in other places.
Landlords say "lots of other people are interested" all the time; brokers are even more vicious because they're working on commission.
