You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We had an electrician in on Wednesday to put in a recessed plug & breaker for wall mounted plasma tv. Nice kid, but he drilled up through the floor and put a GIGANTIC gouge in our trim.

DH noticed when he got home and called the place to come fix it. Kid and another guy came over and we (fortunately) found an extra 12 ft. long piece of trim in our basement (bless the former owners for saving it). The kid came back last night to install said piece of trim. Only, he completely buggered the mitre cut and it looks like shit. And it's in an open spot with a lot of traffic.

Now I'm emailing pictures of the work to the contractor to show them how bad it is so we can hopefully get it fixed.

Add this to the furnace contractor who knocked a connection loose that resulted in us having no heat in subzero weather for over 8 hours and I'm less than thrilled with the work we've had to have done thus far.

Thanks all, I will poke Ms. Havisham to peek into the thread and see all of your well-wishes!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I just heard that a friend broke her leg in a vacuum cleaning accident: I always knew that vacuum cleaners aren't to be trusted.

You know, my dog has been trying to tell me that for years.

I am sitting in a paper tech. I have already been in this meeting for 90 minutes. This is a world of wrong.

Proof, once again, that housekeeping can kill you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Happy BilHavishaversary!

Mostly lurking...

My computer hates me. Actually, just one of the programs. Grrrrr...

ETA: Apparently, I just needed to bitch about it, because not it's fine. Go figure.

Cash, I feel your pain. My cabinets are being installed today, only the manufacturer fucked up and didn't make the trim long enough, so that not only do I have an ugly hole between the cabinets, there is a gap between the cabinet and the corner next to it so that if I put stuff in the back, it could fall out because there's no wall there.

Jolly! with a knife! I am LIVID. SEETHING WITH RAGE.
