Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
....And it looks like there's a coup in the country where most of my work over the past 8 months has been about working with the government. So that's nice.
Oops.
I am impressed Brenda! I did a fair bit of cleaning and organizing the past few days (wanted it to be nice while my friend is staying at my place and when I get back) but not that much!
Well, I had a ton of work work to do, so obviously I had to come up with some alternative.
That is the time-honored method.
Gonna put in a couple hours on the railing. In a minute. After I cuddle the cuddly cats.
Argh, so the dog groomer blew a fuse in my house when she plugged in her dryer while running her hot water heater.
So I bought fuses at Home Depot and put them in, and... nothing. No power in most of the house (happily the fridge is still working). Now what? Call an electrician on a Saturday?
Oh, man, Consuela. I wish I had advice. Sadly, all I can think of is turning it off and turning it on again.
Got all my burnt out bulbs replaced with LED (except the office and the garage which have other challenges and besides I ran out of fresh bulbs). Still have CFLs here and there, but at least there is light of some sort pretty much everywhere. So that's something.
I'd call an electrician, Consuela. I have no experience with fuses, so I can't help!
brenda inspired me, so I dusted the ceiling fans. Lotta dust. Lotta cat-hair lint. Those things gather dirt, whoa.
Oh man, Consuela. (I know that's what -t said, but she is correct!) Good luck with that. It's definitely the right kind of fuse? That's my only thought.
So, plot twist: We're going to see my father for dinner, not lunch, so I'm having lunch now. It is gorgeous out, so next is a walk, possibly with errands, but maybe not!
I called the electrician I usually call, but I remember that he's not very good about responding. And it is the weekend. I may just google up emergency electricians.
When I worked for the library catalog conversion company, we were setting up a deal with the University of Kuwait to convert their entire system. Unfortunately, Saddam Hussein invaded, and we got a call saying, "We won't be able to go through with the project, they've just burned down the library. "
