BF - Happy Late Saint Stephens Day!!!!!!!!! :Heart:

Dear Mari,

I'm glad things are going fairly well so far with dad's visit. You are being an excellent hostess! :) I hope you can get some sleep in for yourself during his visit, too. :o :hug::hug::hug:

I hope mom continues to feel better also. :Heart:

Plumbing and feeling a little grouchy
 

Hi,

At 5:00 p.m. a plumber came out to investigate whether the pipe connecting our place to the city water was leaking. It was.

By 12:30 a.m. the leak was fixed and new copper pipes were installed.

I took my meds, hubby and I walked my father to the car so he could go back to his hotel, and I fell asleep on the couch with the t.v.
Hubby told me after I woke up that the plumber came into our house to turn on each faucet to see that the running was running clear.

I am a little bit grouchy about the whole event.

New Siggie
 

I changed my signature. I felt it best not to refer to water after the day and night we had at our place.

Ugh! :(:eek::mad:
I would be too.
I would not like a stranger crawling about the house, unbeknownst to me, when i have fallen asleep thinking i was in private. :hug::hug::hug:

Haha, i can appreciate that. I like your new siggy, especially the beautiful pic of the full moon over snowy mountains. It is both calming and inspiring.

Mari I had a situation where I had leaking pipes somewhere on the property. My brother in laws office manager asked if I did anything different with the water in my apartment. I said no. The water department charged over 300 dollars for one month.

To make the story short,they wanted that bill to be paid before they fixed it. It was paid. They brought out people to dig. I said watch out in that area,I have a Sat. TV cable right there. One of the guys turned around,and said that they know it. Then they struck the cable,and I was without Sat.service. I was so angry that I walked out on the porch,and said I told you about that. I was furious. They said that they can get someone to fix it that afternoon. Well it was not till the following afternoon. I didn't have TV till more then 24 hours later. They brought a machine to plow the ground to put a new pipe in. They said that I need to move my car. It sounded like a command. Why didn't they just ask me to move my car please. grrrrrrrrr:mad: at the whole thing. Then they charged the office over a thousand dollars. grrrrrrrrr:mad:

When they left I turned all of my water faucets on,and flushed the toilet until I had clear water. The land was plowed where I have to park my car because of the trees loosing branches,and acorn problems going down in my cars vent system. I think that I have that part fixed,but I don't want to take chances. Now I have reddish brown soil splashing on my car after a storm. The soil gets on my tires also,and I hate that. I like a clean looking car.

Don't plumbing problems (and all problems) know to wait until after the holidays?

Glad it's resolved now. :Heart:

BF - about your satellite - I wish people would listen when other people talk.

about the mud - that sounds really annoying! I like a clean vehicle, too. Hope you're not stepping in the red soil and getting it on your floor mats. :Heart:

This was about five months ago. I think that I may have vented about it on the Bipolar Disorder forum at that time. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Thank you Butterfly. I try to walk where it's dry when I get out of my car. I have a mat in front of the door.

There's a service station about a mile from here where I can power hose clean my car,and tires for four quarters.

When I walk in,I take my shoes off,and put this old Ionic Breeze shoe ionizer in both shoes,and let them do their thing. If there's any dirt in front of the floor from the yard,I clean it up. I have other Ionic Breezes that I have used for years. I've cleaned them thousands of times it seems. I was using air purifiers with Hepa Filters,but those filters,and pre charcoal filters are so expensive. So I turned two of them off.

I have a thing about clean floors. Then I can walk around in my socks,and not worry about getting my sofa dirty. BF:hug::hug::hug:
