No pain for Scola! I decree it.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I decree it.Not recently, you haven't.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Tom!
Thunderstorms here totally knocked my internet out for a really long time! I did not like it! OK, possibly it was longer than it needed to be because I didn't think to physically unplug the modem for a while, but STILL. Phew.

Ayiyiyi! Glad you are better, Tom. My friend's poor husband had multiple passing outs from pain before they got him all fixed up, same thing.
I'm not a superior being (re: neighbors) I'm just a profoundly grateful one.
Whenever the crappy mgmt of the complex (like, still no hot water. Another bucket bathe and scream tomorrow morning! If only I knew how to light the pilot ) drives me to think about moving (or hell, homeownership) my pause is my neighbors. Can I take them with me?
Tonight I leant out my keys so another neighbor could access the laundry room. That probably earned me the..oh, fruit salad.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
there will be no more pain.
Betsy, so nice to see your font around again!
sarameg - your neighbors made my day. It would be better if someone brought me good food - but that's just a good thing.
I might even make a good dinner for me. I was thinking boreing.
There is no way in hell I can chose a favorite restaurant. that's insane. There are two back in Ct- neither of which has anything close out here. I have one chinese, 1 pho , one french , one vietnamese/american breakfast to dinner place, one italian and one mediterain( i give up - it looks wrong no matter what I do ) in my town. and I love to cook ....

No more pain for Tom. I still think it's ridiculous he had to suffer as long as he did.
If only I knew how to light the pilot
Not actually hard, and some water heaters have helpful instructions on them, or at least settings called "pilot." The trick is that you need to have a clicky stick fire thing.
t /called plumber twice before I realized the problem was that I just wasn't getting the flame back far enough

It's a monster boiler for 40+ units with locks I don't have keys to. So I can't do it. Alas. I'd be kind of freaked out to do it ,even if I had access. Not sure why it went out. Don't feel like going BOOM.
I do know how to relight my furnace pilot, though! It still scares me, in any case.
