Yeah, that was pretty nuts.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, I hope you can have the dogs join you.
I expect that when it comes time to replace the plumbing to the second floor, it will be precipitated (ahaha! NOT) by something like this. Because plumbing of this vintage is fine. Until it isn't. And I know when it comes that time, I want to save the bathroom floor, which means going through the first floor ceiling and walls. Fun. Good to now SF is responsive- they're my insurance as well.

Ew, megan! How unpleasant.
I don't see that sort of thing where I go running--perhaps the possibility of poison oak scares them off.

I've never even heard of the ASVAB
Armed Service Vocational Aptitude Battery. Basically the test you take to see where you would fit into the military.
Javachik, glad you found a place with the Giants on tap.
Naked jogging just seems ... uncomfortable.
Naked bike riding, ditto.

I'm not sure why they would make them take it, it's not like we have mandatory service in the States.

sara, they've been terrific so far. The initial claims guiy did carefully ask me and the responding plumber a lot of questions about what caused the flood. Once he was confident that it was a "result of a 'sudden' indident" and not a long-term pipe leak or something, it was a "no-brainer" claim. Whew!
I have a 1-year home warranty too, from the sale, and I need to call them and see if they'll cover the new toilet. That would be nice. I'd intended on replacing the toilet; just not this soon!

Now tagless for your comfort.
HOLY CRAP, SPARKY! I hope it happens and helps and everything! If anyone can bring Sassafras home, it's AC! He has magic blue eyes, glistening white teeth, a steel jawline and beautiful hair!!!
Naked bike riding, ditto.
We had a group of nude cyclists go through Madison this year. I kept wondering about chafing.

That is exactly why it seemed odd. Either college or the military for you...no other options exist. wtf?

Beware the ASVAB! I took it (I think everyone had to take it at my high school?) and apparently showed scary military aptitude because I was nearly at harrassment level of recruitment efforts. And I was a TOTAL pacifist peacenick Joan Baez-worshipper who told them that, again and again. And yet the recruiter would literally wait outside of our family's apartment door and FOLLOW me when I'd walk to school or the 7-11, pestering me to join.

Hell, here in Madison, they won't even allow recruiters into any of the high schools for career days or anything. I could just see the parents getting up in arms if the high schools made the kids take the ASVAB.
