Our wings are not tired

ND, wtf, you have to re-pipe the whole house? That sucks!

We have known that we'd need to do it since we bought the house. It's all galvanized pipes that are over 50 years old. There was a dream that we could wait until we could afford to do a bigger remodel of the house, but we won't be able to do that for quite a few years yet, so we are getting bids from companies so that we can get this take care of.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

And now my boss has brought in lumpia! I'm going to explode, but what am I going to do, not eat fresh lumpia?

Yay for the thumbdrive, Zen! Boo for the sick.

I hope the repipe goes smoothly and doesn't cost too much, ND. That sounds like a project and a half.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mmmm....lumpia.

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

Sadly I cannot wait to look for a job until after I move. Insurance for me and Mac would eat away at all savings and into retirement I fear.

I have never had nor heard of lumpia.

It's basically Filipino egg rolls. Delicious!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Sorry about the re-pipe, ND.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Never heard of lumpia either. They might want to think about changing the name.

I'm sure it sounds pleasanter if you speak Tagalog

Lumpia are delicious! (Or should that be lumpia IS delicious? Not sure)

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I think I would go with "is", meara. And YES, lumpia is delicious! I always get a big order of it for potlucks and parties - and never see any leftovers!
