Backaches, Bimbos, and Breakups

1. there is likely only like 1 acupuncturist.

2. most of the pain seems to be a bedtime issue so I'm not sure how much it will help.

Many. We have a high of Many here today. Toasty.

1. Name & location, please, si ma'am -- good researchers on staff around here.

2. What else has helped? (= nada, no man.) Acu can't fix mechanical stuff but can sure help with the symptoms, see ma'am.

Many. You call "Many" Many, huh ma'am?!

I guess I never even mentioned I broke my leg in Many places and went through a couple operations, one still yet to go. But I am not exactly in a hurry to do it, remove the plates, even though there are broken pins and it's moving around resulting in pain. Just happy to be walking again.

Didn't know and sorry to hear it, sigh man. Will even forgive your failure at Polish Math, sympathy man. How did you break it, huh man? Do you still have a leg left to stand on, huh man?

No it doesn't.

Lower Hudson Valley vs. Canton or Massena, huh man? Spit out the region, si man. (If close to Canadia, spit oot the region, eh man.)

Ugh my tooth hurts. It never hurt till they fixed it

Like Mrs. T-B., who just got some antibiotics from the dentista (sidebar Q, query man: why is "dentista" feminine in Spanish when Many% of them are men, huh man?) that are working well, D ma'am.

OK, si man: Here's what my two VJ Gringos have to say about our air conditioning, see man:

Laid-Back VJ Gringo Who Got Hosed at Guayaquil Even Worse than Most of Us, sigh man:

"I have to question their intent and how much they really know. The insulation you have is nowhere near specs here. I saw places in your attic that were bare. That's like having a window open. You know attic temps can get Many to Many degrees. Have a real insulation contractor come out and get his take. Also get a real gringo AC company to just give you a price and opinion."

------------------

WCG (World's Cheapest Gringo) says, see man:

"Wow, the joys of casa ownership. The problems never end. I feel your pain. I seem to remember you replacing the evaporator several years ago but I could be confused since my sister replaced hers. I did some research and it's not uncommon to run a larger compressor like in your case. If anything, it should increase cooling efficiency especially if it was previously working too hard to cool down your casa.

"You need to get more bids on evaporator replacement. It should cost no more than $Many to replace just the evaporator. Another option might be to hire someone who can fix the evaporator. This is done by using a leak detector and soldering the damn crack. Of course, they don't want to do that because they might be able to rip you off for $Many.

"I suspect Sequential Mexican #2 ripped you off royally. He probably charged you for Many lbs of freon and used 1 lb. I also found out that regular BBQ propane can be used in place of their highly controlled freon. I am tempted to try it out in our system one of these days. I have literally nothing to lose if it doesn't work or blows up.

"Your system is obviously running better with more freon in it. Whether you'll see any savings next month is the question. Your last 2 bills for $Many were obscene.

"I still think you need to add more insulation to your attic. Get Mrs. T-B. to call her favorite Mexican handyman to do the job. To test whether or not more insulation will help, go buy a non-contact thermometer from Harbor Freight with a Many%-off coupon and point it at your ceiling in various areas. My guess is you're going to find some high temperatures up there. You can also have the handyman install elbows for a lot less than $Many. An HVAC license is not required to buy elbows. That said, I doubt it would make very much difference. It might take Many years to recoup the $Many. The 2-stage compressors do use less electricity but they're more expensive. You would be hard-pressed to recoup the cost."

Monday report, see man:

Doing work at home Sunday paid off today, whee man.

Drove warshed T-B.-mobile with pride, si man. Rain starts tomorrow through weekend, wet man.

Got acupunked again*; going to skip a week or two to gauge if more is needed, evaluate man.

Played alphabet jigsaw puzzle with Mini-B., wee man.

Did more bring-home work instead of napping, si and no zzz man.

Left some chocolate ice cream for others instead of polishing it off, temptation man.

Dished the warsher and now must de-dish it, domestic man.

Cat prep zzz man.

No matter how much I brush cat, she resents my stopping and tries to eat my leg, miu man.

*Nola, see ma'am: Acupunker told me on first day that the early treatments tend to take an overnight before their effect can really be felt. That's how most of mine have been, and that's fine, si man; however, many people also get immediate relief, si man. WCG's sister is an acupunkess. Desperate lady with back pain like mine came to her after regular docs told her that she'd simply have to live with the pain. On a 1-to-Many (2x2x2+2) pain scale, lady estimated the pain at Many x 2. After first treatment, she judged it to be barely Many (2+1). If your local acupunker is any good (send name & address), it can only help, see ma'am.

De-dish cat prep zzz man.

Oh, great, oj tak; Asia un-Absents herself just in time for me to cat prep zzz, oj tak. Nothing like having massively intelligent conversation with myself and then someone even better comes along (really not possible, but we want +1 inventory bestowed, see man), oj nie.

Good Asia! Good, GOOD Asia!

So what happened next, huh man?

His presumed adult children led his cart to the side so passage was possible. Still you feel about 2 inches tall when you're asking a blind man to get his butt outta the way

Where is everyone this morning?

Stretch, are you here sleep modding and deleting all the posts?

[SAT 9,609]

I'm laying around....

[Caryh 5,206]

I'm laying around....

Being lazy and skipping work today?

[SAT 9,609]

I can't skip work, unfortunately. But I'll just go in real late and look around.

[Ontarkie 14,145]

No sleep modding here, it's just slow.

Lucas is waking up early and not sleeping longer then 2 hours at a time lately. I want my 5 hour stretches heck 3 would be good.

[Caryh 5,206]

Everyone's ran off on vacation, kind of like Steveklar being stuck having to work.

I'm stuck having to work, but I'd rather be skipping out now to.

You're a mother of young ones. You're not allowed to ever get enough sleep.

The junior guy is back this Friday. So I'm free for the rest of the year.... (I hope)

Saw a 419 scam spam come in to the mail server today, its to our generic published corporate email address used on our web page. Apparently we were scammed, and as payment for that scam, we're gonna get 15.5 million dollars. We just need to give them all our banking information, and anything else they ask for. Wow I should contact them, I could really use 15.5 million dollars

I thought you were quitting before the year ended?
