Thrilling Saturday non-ES report, see man:

 

We actually got Many (2x2x2 -1) hours of zzz on Friday night, exhausted we man.

 

We took a boxful of Mini-B.'s clothes to the store that buys them, financially savvy we man.

Remembering last time, we even took stuff that they'd rejected before, calculatedly risky we man.

 

They took Many -- yes, Many -- pieces, jackpot we man.

They offered us $Many ($2x2x2x2x2 +1), delighted we man.

We had found Many (2+1) items to buy for Mini-B., approximately $Many ($2x2x2+2) man.

Our net profit would have been $Many ($2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2), nice deal man.

 

Store had a promotion:  open a plastic Easter egg to get a potential discount, 0 to Many% man.

Our egg yielded Many% (2+2+1%), that's fine man.

Accordingly, our net profit was $Many ($2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2 +1), overjoyed we man.

Every time we've visited that store, we have left with items + money, Business Typhoon we man.

 

 Kids' store is right down the road from an Aldi, convenient man.

This Aldi had corn dogs, All Is Right With the World man.

We got $Many of stuff, prices have soared in just 2 weeks man.

 

Lunch was the remaining half-bag of garden salad from nearly 2 weeks ago, still good and ingest we man.

 

After necessary ES goose-chase, returned to casa for a nap, zzz we man.

Then went to Costco, Many (2+2+1) items for $Many ($2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2) man.

 

Din-din was some "egg/bacon muffin-shaped" contraptions from Costco, not bad, quite filling, and ingest we man.

 

Now partying with the rubias, incorrigible we and SWAT team positioned outside man.

 

Break from partying to put away our Many (2+2+2+1) pairs of brown shoes and unbag our Many (2x2x2+1) pairs of black shoes, tired of brown motif we man.

 

Polished & shine-sprayed all the black ones, sorely in need man.

Retired 2 pairs of brown shoes, hurt our feet man.

 

Now to vacuum the upstairs of the casa, rubias can party by themselves man.

Thrilling Wednesday (and mini-miu) report, see man:

 

Miu-sneezes are loud sound just like an air hose coming off a tyre*, exactly man.

     *British spelling

 

Lunch was Many (2+2) gut-bombs from Arby's, WUOC financially savvy we man.

(We were in the neighborhood on an errand, convenient man.)

 

Din-din was at a BBQ place with Mini-B., ex-Mrs.-T-B., & Cousin Mini-B., gaggle man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. reminded us that the place had a promotion to support Mini-B.'s skool, OK man.

We didn't really care to eat out twice in one day, but place is pretty good so OK man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. reported that the ex-Mrs.-T-B.-ex-mobile, which she had driven the heck out of for years and then sold to an Ecu who gave it to an amiga of his, was totaled in a wreck, sad man.

The chica ran out of gas* on the freeway and was slammed into, demolition derby man.

      *everyone here remembers those stories, surely man

The chica apparently wasn't hurt, amazing man.

But it's the end of an era, bye ex-Mrs.-T-B.-ex-mobile man.

 

Miu still sneezing but acting more normal, recovering miu man.

Miu came upstairs during bed-prep for Mini-B., usual routine for miu man.

Miu also found a bag of rubber bands and deposited them all over the casa, typical of miu man.

We are hopeful that miu will soon return to normalcy, cat-daddy we man.

I want to scream, I want to strangle manybodies and I want to run away! I'm so tired of this house and the issues that never seem to go away.  I couldn't even sell this place with the way things are going. I'm ready to go out buy another place and say too bad I'm done with it let the bank deal with it. 

 

I'm 100% positive that the previous owner knew about the plumbing issues and never said a thing. We've had issues since moving here in 2008.

 

So even with my service line warranty because my main line is not in my yard they may never get it fixed. It goes a 130 feet through my neighbours yard and the warranty won't cover that,  says the latest plumber. I'm hoping he is wrong. It's orange burg pipe and is collapse. He said they can't reroute it that he has to go to the main tie in. OK well that should be interesting as they cannot find where that tie in is yet. But I know it's more then a 130 feet as the city has that much figured out.  It is mind boggling why he doesn't just go the 20 or so feet to the road, but what do I know I'm just a women who knows nothing.

 

On top of the issues with my fridge not keeping safe temps the roof is leaking again. This roof is barely over 5 years old. I'm fighting with everyone and I can't take anymore and just want to :girlwerewolf2xn::girlwerewolf2xn:

 

Ok off to cry again😭

Oh and the plumbing is 6 feet 7 inches deep on my side of the retaining wall. It goes directly under the retaining wall that I would have to pay to fix myself. There is only about 4 feet between the house and the wall. Guess I'll be sliding into the neighbours house soon too. We live on a hill, it won't take long.

You would feel much better if you reviewed and used your P-math, si D ma'am.

We are very sorry about your casa problems, si and sigh ma'am.

You really should call the consumer advocate at the local TV station, si ma'am.

 

It will brighten your day to hear that miu has apparently recovered, recovered miu man.

We had a rousing game of "toss & chase the miu toys" last night, re-energized miu man.
