Inara ,'Serenity'
[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.
Oooh, already a difference of opinion!
Now, I know precisely jack and shit about cars, so there may have been a better way to phrase it. But it was just so clear in my brain that I was agog that he thought it meant one thing while I meant another. We actually had the following exchange:
Dad: "But you said, 'from the catalytic converter to the tailpipe.' "
Me: "Right! FROM the catalytic converter to the tailpipe!"
(Also, Who's on first.)
I would think (A), but I would ask for clarification, too.
Trudy, so glad your aunt's surgery went well!
Yay Trudy!!
Just because I recently made the same assumption, I think mechanics need to be asked "So the catalytic converter needs to be replaced?" when they say the following:
"From the catalytic converter to the tailpipe"
or what a mechanic recently said:
"Pretty much the cat back to the tail pipes."
I really need to ask them again, as I, too am puzzled.
My assumption is that the phrase "from the catalytic converter to the tailpipe" includes the catalytic converter, under the theory that in any car repair scenario, the answer is the one that costs more.
Yay for successful surgery!
I vote for having DCJ around for many years.
I'm sending all the ~ma to Drew.
Jesus Christ, did his great-grandma bone THOR?
Well, he is blond and blue-eyed and owns several hammers. Back in the day, he had long hair that he braided into his beard. Ah, the '70s in California in the Forest Service. I so wish I had pictures of him then.
Ha! All the lead paint docs I need to read are in PDF form and I'm on my iPhone. Time to go read some Inception fic!
I'd have assumed "from the cat convert" included it.
Clearer, to me, would be "From AFTER the catalytic converter to the tailpipe would need to be replaced."
Time to go read some Inception fic!
Awesome plan!
