Oh no! I am so glad I am a renter sometimes. I don't think I have the ability to own without having a nervous breakdown. Also, because my childhood was spent with some weird house problems (Like the pipes under the sink didn't work and we just did the dishes in a tub and dumped the water in the back yard until I was about 18) I have a tendacy tp be able to live with things that really should be fixed.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

The Cadet III scored well with Consumer's Union, as I recall.
Toto's got a cult following. The followers are loud.

My newish toilet is also an American Standard Cadet and it's from Home Depot. It turned out to be so much better than the old toilet that I became much more cheerful about spending the money.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously glad none of that's my job. Equity, what equity, but at least I don't have to buy a toilet!

You know recycling gray water is all the hotness right now! You were just ahead of your time.

Oh no! I'm sorry I broke you toilet.....wait, that was years ago! Is it doing the same scary neverending flushing? Somehow, no toilet with a kid in residence is even worse.
I'm glad Plei was able to give you advice!
I spent today spending money. BUT! I now have a backup drive that I'm actually using, a usb hub so I can get some of these wires under control and have connected my old computer to the new and transferred stuff. I didn't do a whole migration, since some stuff I don't care about. But got my old apps and docs and everything and got that computer off my table. To sitting on a box in the corner. But it is a start! I'm waiting to hear from the brother whether he'd prefer to wipe it himself since he has more recent OSes.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
On one of those documentary series about how things are made, they visited the Kohler factory. I hadn't known that most toilets are made out of ceramic, which means they have to be cast and fired and glazed, so they have these IMMENSE kilns to do that.
And then to see if they were molded correctly, one of the workers goes down the line of freshly-fired toilet bodies and taps them each with a tiny hammer. If they ring like a bell, they're sound.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Ooh! I've been to that factory and the attached museum - they have some really crazy stuff there. Also some stuff that makes me want to have bags and bags of money.

“Not dead yet!”
Totally apropos of nothing, the two girl dogs (each 50+lbs) are playing a game of tug-of-war/keep away/I'ma chase you all over the house gimme the toy now with a lavender Wubba.
It is easily one of the cutest, most hysterical things I've ever seen.
Or it could just be I'm wicked tired that's making this so funny.

Enh, I don't mind the having to buy a toilet thing. - was even planning for it. - just wish it was not right now. We just bought a new brace, had to out of pocket the medical insurance deductible for therapy, just paid off Spring Break and have half of a summer rental to cover in the next month. I guess it is always something.
