'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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.
Back to work today. I'm hoping a lot of my doctors took the week off making it quiet.
Wow msbelle, your moving efforts are so impressive. Almost every time I moved it was via U-Haul truck with me packing and unpacking everything. Also, as is evidenced by my attic and storage unit, never getting rid of anything.

Additional quotes absolutely seem in order, Theodosia!
Gris, that sounds like a nice restaurant—and I didn't realize Brazil time zones were so far ahead!!
Sao Paulo is one hour ahead of Eastern time during your summer and two hours ahead now. Add the hours to California time and it's crazy!
Is today birthday twin day for Jesse and Theodosia? Happy birthday!
Thank you! I missed the garbage pickup, but if I hump myself, I can catch the recycle guys.
it is! Happy Birthdays!!
Hippo Birdies Theo and Jesse!
Petunia got a bunch of toys, but she seems to want the wrapping paper and the wrapped toys for Maria's and SylviaKs cats! I had to cut her out of the gift bag handle because she trapped herself there and was running around with a large gift bag attached to her!
Happy Birthday Theo!!
Happy Birthday Jesse!!
I was impressed that Scully and Mulder didn't destroy the packages under the tree. The curly ribbons were super irresistible.
I didn't take a lot of pictures yesterday, just a couple of my sons, but my SIL took a number and I posted them all. I know my other SIL took a bunch so I'll see if she posts them. It was very nice. The only political discussion was of the "I can't believe anyone thinks this PoS belongs in the White House" variety, so that was okay. The only contrary person to that notion wasn't in the room at the time. We all know better than to discuss anything with her.
New plumber guy seems a lot more reliable than the first, but my hot water may have to stay off for a week because of scheduling. There is leaking inside the tank, but because the systems are on different pressures, it's forcing the extra pressure back into the furnace, hence the emergency discharge.
I'm somewhat relieved that the problem is a real problem, not bullshit, but the replacement should come in to well-under $6K (It'd be about $2500 for a free-standing new system, by comparison, new-plumber said.)
I'm sorry if I'm being boring here, but it's good to be able to share thoughts about this.
