Has anybody had problems with Sears Home Services? Because in my never-ending quest to find somebody to replace my furnace, they seem like they'd be a logical possibility....

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Heh. Yeah. People! Stop assuming I'm judging you!

Heh. See also:

Random person: Want a brownie?

Me: No, thanks.

Person: They're really good, go on, have one.

Me: No, thanks, I'm vegan, and those have egg.

Person: You're vegan? So, like, you think I'm a murderer for eating this brownie? God, you vegans are so judgmental.

Me: Buh?

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

You're vegan? So, like, you think I'm a murderer for eating this brownie? God, you vegans are so judgmental.

Oh dear.

KILLER BROWNIES.

Dang, Hil, I can FEEL YOU JUDGING ME FROM HERE for the pot roast I have in my fridge!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For the record, I judge everyone. It's just easier that way.

Is that who Pix had the nightmare with? It was someone similar to that...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is that who Pix had the nightmare with?

Yeah, the air-conditioner fiasco.

OTOH, the Sears in my neighborhood has a great reputation for appliances (I'll be able to report firsthand after this weekend). Since they subcontract for delivery & installation, I'm guessing it varies widely by individual location.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'll give that HomeRoutines app a try, Jess. it looks like it might take care of some of the things OmniFocus doesn't do so well.

My folks had Sears out to fix their dishwasher which led to a complete remodel. Not recommended.

Sending the ~ma to Perkins, just about on time.

I'm judging ita for her judginess. I'm sneering at you (from a safe distance.)

You're vegan? So, like, you think I'm a murderer for eating this brownie? God, you vegans are so judgmental.

I think that the appropriate reply here is "Yes, I'm judging you, but not for eating the brownie, for your attitude"
