No Topic, just Chat

[Katattack]

Will do.
I must admit I'm not shy at all in general but I'm afraid if I ask they'll say no

Guess getting picked last for dodgeball teams left a scar lol

 

[Mary Kay]

They don't say no..they just don't reply..some can't figure it out and some think it means you have to give them your firstboarn. LOL
Mostly they just click allow or ok or whatever..it's just a nice way to say hiya and welcome. Also it's nice to see friendly faces all over the board.

I know logically it's not biggie.
I must put on the big girl panties and make friends

I didn't really look at my user controls for weeks.

I feel so great. Cleaned all my attys and cartos out really well. I emptied the sample bottles of horrid juice that I wouldn't wish on an enemy and washed out the bottles (to send out samples of juices and hold home mixes). I cut a 901 cart down to fit in my VK so now I have a whistle tip again. Productive evening...

 

[Mary Kay]

The lights went out last night for an hour or so. I did my refills by candle light! But my batts were charged as so was my I Pod....I was good!
Oh and we got into the habit of putting fresh coffee in a carafe so we can turn off the coffee pot. I would have had hot coffee for hours and hours!

 

[Katattack]

Woot! My fin-aid excess check has arrived

Of course being the responsible person I am I'll take care of mucho important stuff first but then...after that....
I'm stocking up! Let the juice, cartos and batteries flow like water!

Honestly, I want to stock up. Reading more and more about state/area bans and the whole limbo thing I want to have a stockpile just to be safe.

I recommend stocking up on some large bottled juice..don't go crazy on batteries unless they are for mods. batteries will lose charge and charging capacity over time. A lot of my 901's that I don't use anymore were DOA.
Catomizers are a good way to stock up too. Since they can reused and refilled for a long time. Atomizers aren't as reliable.

Ohhh you're right. I'll make sure to order a mod (inexpensive box mod) and rechargeable li-ion batteries and charger. Thanks for the tip I hadn't even thought about how unused batteries go belly up over time.

I wanna cry. I had started to notice a strange smell coming from under the house (it's a mobile home...but it and the dirt below it are OURS...a stepping stone to the next place). Well I couldn't place it at first but now I am certain something is wrong with the plumbing and that smell is SEWAGE
Plumbers will be out in the morning. I have no idea how much this is going to cost or how we're going to sanitize the crawlspace. I'm freaked out...I've never had to deal with this kind of icky situation.

 

[Mary Kay]

At least it's under your house and NOT in it! Cement foundations mean the leak will be in the house! Mom's house had that..what a mess and major clean up. Roots grew into her pipes and crushed them..so outside was soon a mess too.
Hope it's minor..hugs

 

[Katattack]

Thanks MK you're right I should be thankful. Also better that I should realize it now and not after someone in the house gets sick because of it. No matter the cost it's worth it to make our house healthy. It's just one of those things I never thought about ever having to deal with (always was a renter before).

Hey, I want a fin-aid excess check too !

Are you a licensed plumber? I have a feeling they're going to get what's left of mine

 

[bestthingever]

Too funny, Kat.

BTW, we gotta get you some tacos !

 

[Katattack]

Sweet! Best is coming down to have tacos with us!!
You can't go back on that now.

Yikes! 8-o Good luck.. and hoping it won't be as bad as it seems right now!

 

[Katattack]

Oh my gwarsh it was a MESS! Hubby's ex brother in law had installed the plumbing if you could call it that. The kitchen sink was draining onto the ground under the house and the pipe to the sewer had backed up too. All of it is repaired and in full working order now.
Now I have to go to the garden supply and pick up lime to sanatize the raw sewage under our house. The good part is the plumber didn't try to price gouge and charged less than I thought it would be (esp considering he had to crawl around in/near that stuff). I'm so happy now.

 

[Mary Kay]

Good! I am glad things are back to normal..sounds like it was pretty awful though..
I hope you spread that plumbers name around, sounds like he is one of the good guys!
The best thing about living in a small town is the service people. The AC guy knows us and always comments on the fact that we are the people with all the books and the white dog! The Pool guy who we don't see often (thank goodness) is from Scotland and he likes to discuss my family, also from His area of Scotland, Kintyre..but they moved here in 1777!
Friendly folks who always charge us a fair price.

Glad you got the (smelly) problem under control.. and it didn't hit the wallet too hard!
