Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Oh good lord, Sue. That's aggravating.
Baby! Yay baby.

"I think we're going to stay with you tomorrow night."
"I think I'm going to turn out the lights and lock all the doors." How can they think that's acceptable unless prefaced by "Cousin is having a plumbing emergency, and we've called every hotel"?
Plumbing emergencies come to mind because the water main break fix didn't hold. There was supposed to be one of those "Slide the City" giant water slides in Decatur today, which they had to close after a couple of hours because water.

Wow, Ginger! I know from working at the NO S&WB that water delivery infrastructure is generally old and in need of replacement, but when cities just can't deliver water they really fail one of their chief purposes.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Your poor roommate, shrift! And also, did you need one more thing to handle? No you did not.

Sue, I don't much like your sisters right now.They are getting stern looks from Texas.
I got my nails did and went grocery shopping. E is supposed to have a friend over, but he slept until past noon and his friend IS STILL NOT UP. I swear they were both up until the wee hours online with each other. Friday night is the only night I do not monitor his bedtime and he has zero self-control. They will be lucky if they get 2 hours of time together today.

A contractor hit a hydrant, causing a break in a 48" county water main. The can reduce the pressure, but they can't shut off such a main completely, so they have to use pumps to try to clear away enough water so that they can patch the pipe. It looks like a miserable, muddy job. I suppose they could offer the opportunity to "Slide the giant mudslide."

I guess I'll go boil some water now, since that's what the cool kids are doing. Yes, we've worked our way to the boil water advisory.
I've got some gallons of bottled water, so it's hardly an emergency.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Did they call on the land line, Sue? Or your cell? Because if cell, you just lock up and give yourself a weekend vacation somewhere nearby. "Oh, I was on the road to _________ when you called. I won't be back until very very late Sunday night. Sorry to have missed you. I guess we should coordinate ahead of time, in future."
I am a horrible, terrible person, but I have done it. Had a nice relaxing weekend in a quiet, clean motel with a pool and a decent restaurant, and not a shred of a guilty conscience.
ETA: Ginger, I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. Good for you for having a bottled water stockpile.

Yeah for good quiet Motel, Bev. Boo 9n inconsiderate relatives and broken water mains.
Jack had his first obedience class today. He did darn well. Of course, the majority of the class was teaching the humans more than teaching the canines. Our first goal is to get him the AKC good dog certification. I'd love to see him certified as a therapy dog after that, but one step at a time.
