Well, she's not naming it Bunnie.....

Maybe that is because you don't spend enough quality time here with us, Julie. Don't be a stranger.

Hey! Where's Patti? I hope she didn't freeze in a snow pile!

Hey! Where's Patti? I hope she didn't freeze in a snow pile!

I'm here--we are having a floor installed in my son's kitchen and laundry room. It was supposed to be done yesterday, and suffice it to say that everything that could possibly go wrong did.

The installer--whom we have known for 15 years and did mucho work for us when we lived here--decided to remove the hot water heater, which is the right way to do it. Hyjinks ensued when he turned the "shut-off" valve and it proceeded to spew water all over the place. (he missed the real one underneath the unit ) It ended up phlooding the floor, got all over the walls, and even soaked the phone.

We had to put in an emergency call to the water dept, who came within 10 minutes and shut off the water to the house--and this is where Karrighn's snow pile comes in....they had to dig through about 2 feet of piled up snow to get to the valve. (once it was under control, they turned it back on) Since the water heater spent the night on the back porch, we had no hot water last night. The floor guys are here now, the plumber will be back around noon and hopefully it'll be done by this afternoon.

I did have a quiet break in the afternoon yesterday when I drove Matt to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. Got to sit in the waiting room and watch Animal Planet

Why do they do that? My house has 2 shut-offs to house - one 8 inches above the other. Plumbers have never been able to explain that.

Glad you are OK. You are usually on here all the time but when you weren't I started worrying. Then my mind started going in wild tangents. I hoped you decided to chuck all this snow & had just run off to Tahiti. But then.... I remembered you had been sick. There was a thing on the news about what happens to your FB if you die. One of J's football & lacrosse teammates dad died suddenly so we have had that on our minds. So I started to leap to horrible thoughts.

Hadn't thought of Remodelling Hell.

Holy crap. . . . .. . ....well, you haven't just phlipped over a big number.. . .. ....Patteigh, you need to ask your son if he is posting on any online forums, and if so, to check his post count. This Deluge Clause could be present in many other forums, for all we know.. . . ... .. ... . . . ..

Aw thanks Twas a rare thing, but I wasn't on the computer at all yesterday. Mark had to go back last night to get back to work (he took yesterday off), but I'm thinking I'll just stay till Saturday so he doesn't have to make the trip to come get me after work. I just hope the washer is hooked up tonight--I've been here since Friday night and don't wanna run out of clothes...

Mmmmmm--he does participate in a car oriented phorum. I'll bet he just phlipped over a whopper

On second thought, this makes what happened yesterday look good

I didn't know WIH to do wif all the wet towels, so they are in a phrozen pile on the porch

[jerseyangel]

....and whilst I was gone, Nik had a baby girl who may or may not be named Bunnie??

Put them out on the front lawn as an art installation. A commentary on the weather and our society.

Was thinking maybe a name made with all our first initials but we don't have enough vowels.

Well, on Wheel of Fortune we would have to buy you....I guess that means you're special, course we already knew that

Does Canada have short buses?

I'm sure they would have need of short buses , but dunno if the phase has meaning to Canooks

My dd wanted to know what it was like to live in the 1900's

I started to make a list of alternative names for the short bus, in case the Canadian group knows not what I mean, but as I was typing the list, I felt dirty and ashamed, so I erased them all

[curlyfries]

I saw that on fb......1978

You're just 2 yrs older than my son. Hmmmmm....Haven't shown off my boy, lately. Some of ya'll have never seen him

How come I can't post a pic anymore?

I'm so confused

[celiac-mommy]

I tried to do it last week and couldn't. I tried for an hour changing formulas, picking different pictures.... Nuthin

Well, I was new to the short bus (although sometimes feel I need to be on one - see below ) Had to google it - that's one bit of technology I have mastered to a fine art

I tried to do it last week and couldn't. I tried for an hour changing formulas, picking different pictures.... Nuthin

Hahaha - welcome to the world of the technology challenged. That's what it's like for us all the time. Although I have scrambled out of the 1900's. Instead of saying "I wanna Iphone" I kept saying "I wanna Ipod" Of course, being of short bus calibre I didn't know what they even looked like, but said to hubs, if I'm going to put in the miles on the damned treadmill, I gotta have me some decent music, and sent him to not only buy me one but to put the music on it too Now I toddle along to my heart's content listenin' to the happy beat with my happy feet. Couldn't believe how tiny those things are, but my humungous head has such little ears stuck on it that the speaker buds are almost too big to stay in

You need the ones like ear plugs that you squeeze, put in ears then they expand so they stay in better. Or just the old school headphones like earmuffs

Re: the pictures... I used to be able to do it no problem... before the update...

Well, at first I thought "short bus' must be a term used in Wheel of Fortune. . . . . . ... . . . .."Pat, I'd like to buy an E, and you can put that on my short bus to pay in the next round" ...er some such thing.. .. . . but now I ain't so sure.... . . . ..
