Somewhat related to fucking goats, I never realized that "fucking the dog" was a Canadianism, which I learned in this article: [link]
And lead to the discovery of this QI bit: [link]

Still waiting for plumber. I got bumped to the 5-8 slot. 'Emergencies.' YO, I CAN'T FLUSH THE TOILET. I SCHEDULED A WEEK AGO.
Not the plumbers fault except by over-extension. Which the warranty people will be made aware of.
Unamused.

WTF, sara--yeah, they may be thinking you scheduled therefore aren't an emergency, but....no. Just luck/timing/holidays/generous neighbors!
An old coworker saw me post on FB I was in the airport, and stopped by to say hi. How fun! I haven't seen her in probably 5 years?
I'm hoping Thursday/Friday to get some organizational/onerous work done. Fingers crossed no new fires popped up over the holidays that I will need to deal with.

No, they know.

Are you still waiting, sara? That's nuts!

I had an 11-1 slot (I groused about that when I scheduled last monday.) At 1 I got a call saying it would now be 5-8. Went swimming, worked, waiting.
And yes, it is nuts and the warranty company will get an earful, when I get a hold of them (will also be emailing them.) I didn't have the patience to sit on hold today. 24 hr service needs to be just that.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
If the harmonica player at Target hadn't lost for me, someone at Burbank airport's ringtone would have lost me LDB. Ho, ho, no.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I lost LDB yesterday when I finally sat down and watched the Sing-Off finale. (They did the LDB/Peace on Earth medley) At least it was after Xmas...

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I had a warranty co - and got screwed by the plumber - who after taking everything apart and turning off the water - said the job will be more. I paid -then after no satisfaction from the home warranty co - I went to my real estate person. and got my money back

Plumbers are here.
Yeah, that's one thing I worry about, though they have to negotiate everything through the HW, HW presents me w/cost for additional work. Also, similar situation in that I still have a good relationship with my real estate agent, and she's a top performer AND the company is pretty damned big, so there is leverage there.
Crossing fingers. There are things I fear.
