I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Got in my 3.75 mile run for today, now I'm gonna throw caution to the wind and try solid food. Yeehaw.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

msbelle, I am an 8/10 and would be interested.

My water is shut off. To the tune of $200 because warrantee doesn't do emergency shut off and my inside valve is not budging so it had to be done at the street.

Main water line sprung a leak.

And of course I'm supposed to be going out of town on Friday.

Fuck this shit.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

-t, I am currently in 12s, so sadly nothing would work. Burrell, I'll take some pictures and measurements and send you.

Ugh sarameg, what a pisser. We had a leaky water main and the city took days to come fix it. Until they finally figured out the leak was happening on the city side and that we weren't actually paying for all the water pouring down the street.

And thank you, msbelle.

Yeah, this is inside the house, main line in, so my responsibility.

Looks like I'll have at least 2 plumbers coming out tomorrow - one from the plumbing company to give me an est and the home warrantee's plumber. If it is covered by the home warrantee (should be) that should be the option taken.

In the meantime, at least my neighbor is out of town and I can use her water without feeling like a creeper.

Roger, msbelle. I'll ping you if I have shrunk significantly next time I measure (I keep it to once a month to minimize obsessing about it), but that would surprise me.

Ugh, sarameg. Glad you have access to water meanwhile.

Our wings are not tired.

When I have had a water issue that resulted in a crazy bill the city has given a credit for that month. Worth a try. Also, sorry for the mess.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

msbelle, I would be interested in your size 10 things too.

So I finally emailed the president and president-elect of my choir last night to say I wasn't sure I could still be the webmaster next year. I sure hope they can find someone else; I offered to stay on if they couldn't (it's a tough position to fill and it's a little late in the season to be looking), but I really don't want to do this next year. Takes up way too much of my time and energy, and I always feel guilty that I don't check the webmaster email account every day, but jesus, if I did I would spend every single night doing web stuff, and that would not be OK.

Volunteer stuff is hard, Kate. I hope they can find someone else.

Somewhat relatedly, I feel like I should be buckling down to get as much stuff as possible done today to make up for the feeling-like-crap enforced idleness of yesterday, but it occurs to me that taking it a little easy to, like, recover and whatnot might be wise. Hm.
