Then Darklar was right, he's at a strip joint :lol:

Nah, turns out they had a lot to do today and had to connect an outdoor wood stove to heat a house and the water because the people had no heat and a bunch of other stuff.

You don't want to live up here with no heat.

Poor Dane has been up since 2:30 am though.

I dunno what to do for dessert. I wish we had furniture so we could have people here.

Oh the upstairs tub is leaking. Filled up two big bowls. Enough that it makes the drain leak too. Have to call a plumber. But not until hubs has a mole removed and we know it's not cancer. Thankfully we have two showers. And we have water hammering in the pipes but I think water hammer arrestors will fix that and having the pressure turned down which is at over 110 psi.

Stupid high deductible health plan. Grumble.

Where is the tub leaking from?

[NikLR 13,228]

The faucet.

[NikLR 13,228]

We took off the tub faucet and it's right from the pipe. May need some new fixtures for it but the leak is beyond my husband's repair capabilities. We are not do it yourself home owners. We can put up a fence, start a garden, paint, change fixtures, etc, but nothing like fix leaky plumbing.

Well, plumbing isn't for everyone, I wouldn't do my own, but my husband is good at it, so I'm lucky. Also lucky that he's learning HVAC now too.

We've had to do a lot of plumbing since moving in too. Yikes.

no.

you don't buy the stuff to eat at home.

you buy it to give to clients.

you have clients? i should ask - what you do for work this quarter?

I work on computer stuff. Not in the position to give gift to clients

Ouch man, may she heal quickly.

Oh boy not fun. Hope she recovers quickly!

I hope it won't be too painful.

hope Mrs TB feels better soon!

Gracias, si men and ma'ams. In short, Mrs. T-B. doesn't need her gall bladder out at this time, no man. The number of episodes, the normal lab results, and the computed tomographic findings didn't indicate surgery, no slice man. The diagnosis is gallstones and "biliary colic," which sounds both impressive and yucky, impressively yucky man.

1. ug - i remember ex #1 had hers removed, i helped her during her recovery phase.

2. Well, at least you two are still married, so it's easier, yes?

1. Hers sounds like traditional surgery, slice-&-dice man. They now do it laparoscopically, usually on an outpatient procedure, amazing man.

2. The rubias are very disappointed, sigh man.

So now I know why the trains practically hold on their horns through town. No less than Many cars I just saw try and beat the train and one came really close. Seriously, people are so freaking dumb.

Only if the roads are icy and traction is in question, see ma'am.

Good luck. I hope you didn't use this guy.....

Gracias, si man. We escaped for the emergency-treatment copayment of $Many, escape man. Were it now next year, we'd have been clobbered, different plan man.

1. dude.....Many cars is like 2 miles long! at Many, it'll take about Many minutes to get thru.....

2. Tarkculus equation.....

1. Polish math corrected AGAIN, incorrigible man.

2. Oj nie nie nie...

Many weeks of unadulterated chaos at work starts Monday.

Would you rather have adulterated chaos, huh man, or chaotic adultery, huh man?

Construction estimating and cost management.

People try designing buildings and I tell them to can the frou frou to save money.

Well, FINALLY he speaks in other-than-riddles, riddle me this Caped Crusader man. Froufrou indeed costs $Many, true man.

[TBoneTX 45,572]

Why is everything a ###### double post??

More of you to love, Niki-Bone ma'am.

1. On large scale construction projects, the best time to start construction work is as soon as winter lets up and it becomes possible to break ground. Backtracking on the schedule, estimating workload tends to intensify from October through February, turning into buyout in the run-up to starting work on site.

2. Or, the designers want to get their sh#t done before the holidays and the couldn't give a Flying Burrito Brother about anyone else's holiday plans.

1. English-only outside the regional forums, oj tak.

2. English not inside the regional forums, si man.

#### man, it is Many:Many and my husband isn't home yet and his phone is off. I'm kind of worried.

I'd worry only when it's Many:Many, relax ma'am.

[TBoneTX 45,572]

I tell him all the time he can get a mistress

Where were you when we were single, huh ma'am?

Ya, I'm gonna miss out on Thanksgiving this year. No one, not no one that knows me or us, would have predicted this. No one.

We've been invited somewhere or would definitely invite you here, Bro D man.

Poland is close to Denmark, so I suppose there could have been some Polish slaves brought back during the Viking raids?

Why would Vikings want Polish slaves? Did their shoes or helmets need Polishing, huh man?

[TBoneTX 45,572]

i am bringing appetizers

We always knew that you were appetizing, Singapura ma'am.

(This deserves a +1, si ma'am.)

Those heels would make brat Many ft tall.

I love Many-foot Singapuras, whee man.

Glad Mrs T-B doesn't need surgery.

[TBoneTX 45,572]

Thank you, D ma'am.

Most of the plumbing is fine I think. All copper pipe or pvc and new sewer line in 2007.

I'm glad Mrs TB is going to be okay tbone!
