Ok. I just e-mailed the department chair asking her again to help me with the independent study incomplete. I was very careful in my wording and made it sound like she'd be doing me a huge favor and I'd be forever appreciative. Hopefully she'll be a little more positively responsive this time...

I hope it works this time, vw. Also, my sister works for an AC company so I will ask her about the mold thing.

Lake Lanier is about 14 feet down.

Wow, I knew it had been bad. We have had a very wet summer and are in better shape than we were. Still do not mind getting some more to refill the thirsty ground.

Grateful for the Olympic coverage since I am home today. A friend is there for her 5th Olympics this year. Javelin for the Bahamas. She did her qualifying thing yesterday but did not advance. Still, she totally rocks being there at 43 years old.

Why does DHs laptop do weird things when I attempt to use an apostrophe? Also refuses to copy and paste. My cord is shorting so I am without my dear laptop until later in the week. Miss it. Might have to name it.

Hey, it's up from 20 feet down. A lot of the other lakes are doing better, but Lanier is the main reservoir for the Atlanta area.

Anyone have any ideas about removing mold from the inside of a window AC unit?

Vinegar and tea tree oil both kill mold. Recipes for sprays

I would say wipe clean whatever you can and spray the rest. Warning: tea tree oil, even in small amounts, is reputed to be VERY bad for cats. Go with vinegar instead.

I'm on jury duty, there's no wireless, and I don't see an outlet to recharge the iPhone. I thought Monday was yesterday.

Oh, awesome smonster! Thank you! I'll have to track down a spray bottle and do that.

I heard back from department chair. She was on her way out but said she would get back to me tomorrow to discuss how she can help finish the project. Maybe I caught her on a bad day last year.

GC, that's just terrible! Though, I greatly enjoyed my jury duty. I read a book and did some embroidery. Everyone else was bitching about how boring it was, and I was all, "A WHOLE DAY TO DO THINGS I NEVER HAVE TIME TO SPEND A WHOLE DAY ON!" I was actually disappointed when they dismissed us early.

I know. I'm weird.

Does the unit have a drain, vw? If that's blocked, the moisture build up can encourage mold. Also, what kind of filter does it have?

Does the unit have a drain, vw?

It does have a drain. I have no idea how to check for blockage without removing the unit, which I can't do on my own.

It has a screen filter. I've cleaned that recently.

Greg is off on Sundays and Mondays, so today is my Monday, and it's behaving like one. Aidan jumped on my head until I told him to drive like Gordon. And then brake like Gordon. And then drive like Gordon. And I had to answer to Percy and Kara had to answer to James because she was wearing red pajamas. Kara started the day whining because she wanted to wear heavy tights and I told her no. Reduced herself to tears within 5 minutes because I'm mean and hateful and the tights wouldn't fit right when she pulled on the waistband (I TOLD her to pull them up the legs, showed her how, so she demanded that I do it. As if Miss-I'm-Almost-Seven). Aidan got angry with me because I wouldn't stand over him at his father's computer and show him all the screen savers. And my doctor's office won't answer the telephone.

I tried to call in and ask for a script yesterday, explained why I wanted it, waited for a call back for an hour, finally went to run errands, got home after the doctor's office closed to find a message that they want to know why I want it. I repeated it three times! This morning I woke up to another infection that responds to a different medication and I don't know if I can take the two together and I don't want to ask because then they'll want to see me and I don't have the time to go, wouldn't be able to wrangle the babies, and don't have the car.

I feel all hulk smash today.

Oh, Deena. I hate Monday, in any guise.
