That is the time-honored method.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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. "

That sounds amazing, -t.
I picked up some green chiles at the grocery store, so I had an omelet with minced ham, fire roasted chile, cheese, and tomato for lunch. Yum.
