"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's one step further. And a weird step, since it's more invasive.

I'm a little anxious about people cutting on your head muscles.

Then again, they try to do it in Krav class anyway.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Has anyone else had trouble using Yahoo!Mail yesterday or today? It's been "The server at us.f530.mail.yahoo.com is taking too long to respond." more often than not for me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So, the short version of my sewage story:

1) Neighbor's toilet backs up. Sewage leaks into our living room (carpet) and kitchen (behind the fricking stove).

2) Frantic use of towels and moving of furniture.

3) Neighbor argues with property manager about who is responsible for paying the plumber.

4) I go to my afternoon concert.

5) I return, and there is a man in my living room on his hands and knees, spraying fungicide on the carpet and the subfloor. He cheerfully informs me that it kills things like HIV and hepatitis A (but not C).

6) Plumber comes and goes, doing *nothing*, because since neighbor's toilet is flushing, there's obviously no problem.

7) Giant fans and dehumidifiers stay on all night.

8) Husband gets up early the next morning and calls work, telling them he's not coming in.

9) Husband notices new sewage. Yes, neighbor flooded her place again. Guess who was at the bottom of her call list?

10) Frantic use of towels and moving of furniture.

11) Fungicide guy comes to visit again.

12) New plumber finds a block in neighbor's line. No, really?

13) We pull out the dishwasher to make sure there's not a flood back there.

14) Since the dishwasher is now disconnected, we go buy a new dishwasher and a new stove (appliances are original to the house and would have to be replaced before we sell).

15) Fans and dehumidifier are supposed to run until tomorrow. Can't wait to see this month's electricity bill.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

OMG, Dana!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh gawd, Dana - that's awful. Did they get rid of the smell?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You must leave that place! Move to North Carolina!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh Dana! How yuk and frustrating.

Maybe ask neighbor to pay for part of the electric bill? Probably pointless, but ya never know.

Ack, Dana! That's...gross! And infuriating. Does insurance cover stuff like the appliances?
