...

My entire vinyl collection is stored in the basement. 50 boxes, even, of LPs, 12" singles. 5 boxes high, 2 boxes deep, 5 rows. Each box supposedly holds between 60 and 75 pieces. On top of those are five smaller boxes of 45rpm singles, all in plastic protective sleeves.

Yesterday, the mass decided to tip over a bit (found the boxes to be damp, molded, mildewed) sending 5 of the LP boxes crashing and splitting open, and ALL the 45rpm boxes opening, the records sliding all over the place due to the plastic sleeves.

I did not need that extra work....

Hus discovered WHY that happened.

Saga coming on Monday or Tuesday.

Unhappy bear awaiting plumber. :( :( :(

on a saturday? bad news, bear! :shock:

Frozen-in-winter slab-with-water-pipe-under/above part of the house?
Plumbing problems suck.

Flyby. Hi all.

SUPPOSEDLY the plumber-yet-to-depart does not charge extra for weekends or off-hours. Plus I am on their "advantage plan" and have a 15% coupon. Regardless... bad bad bad timing.

Nutshell: main bathroom shower drain (elbow) totally corroded away. GAPING hole. Who knows how long it's been like that... it's above a rarely-traveled part of the basement. Hus found standing water (rooting for church rummage sale items) because the trench around the floating slab is sorta-kinda blocked. But not blocked enough for all the album boxes (downstream) to wick up water... then collapse due to weight. I *should have known* something was going on... never had water/dampness problems in the basement before. Who knows, too, if I'll need to have the basement de-molded or whatever they call it.

On top of everything else this past week.

If I make it through tomorrow, I'm going on a bender Monday.

can't stop making memories! ;) here's spark's favorite



Good afternoon Snails,

song aside, when they look like that cover who needs music? Uffda I am an Oak, I am an Oak I am an Oak <<< There Im all repaired now.


FranC: Is Creedence Clearwater Revival classified as a country band? I always like them too.

Atty: yeah top ten is impossible, I completely forgot abt Joan Jett. (I completely forgot abt Tina Turner too, oops <<< MY bad.) But Joanie was a late 80's dig anyhew. >>> have to put Her in the 90's club. BTW, aint she stunning? FranC should like Joanie's "Crimson and Clover." but i suppose i should take Alice Cooper out and put Joanie Jett in there. Alice Cooper should fall for some of that stuff he produced later on. But once upon a time he could really bring it, "Only Women Bleed.", and other stuff. Cooper wrote this song one time called Billion Dollar Baby, I believe, to the best of my knowledge the story goes something like this: The Billion Dollar Baby was the nickname of a Las Vegas Show Girl. For good reason. She stood abt 5 feet 8 to 9 inches, had a natural tan and flawless features. She had thick musclar thighs. why? She was a Karate black belt. She was in a word rahter indescribable. She was shocking to look at. I met her one time when I was a little kid. She was funny too, they said that they would let her only once a night when she danced do a Karate kick and punch when she did dance. Thus, the nickname Billion Dollar Baby. Cooper kind of spun it differently, calling the album Billion Dollar Babies, and made it into an anti abortion theme. Wether Cooper ever met the real Billion Dollar Baby, I dunno, but I'm quite sure he did. And messed up with her as well.

Tibs: a No to Barry Manilow?, but it took you a while to think that thru, no? hmmmm. It must be the 70's Elvis stuff then? because afterall every queen needs the king of musac. <<< oh my. If this doesnt work out, and I suspect it wont, how abt anything that sounds better than a vacuum cleaner?
