LadyCrimson Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Dear Diary: I'm antsy and bored today. I think I'm going to go buy a new deck lounge chair, make some margarita's and spend the rest of the afternoon toasting the high life while blasting The Hoff's new song for the neighbors.

Hurlshort Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 After dropping the kids off at school, the wife and I spent some quality time together. We went wine tasting as well. 1

Labadal Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Been in a very deep depression these past few weeks. Not a "I feel down" period, but more like "what's the point of anything" period. I do all the stuff I usually do but am not getting any enjoyment. I'm mostly doing it out of habit. It's the first time I've felt that it has hit me so hard. I got myself a gym card, and for these past few weeks, that's the only place I have felt at peace. Or when I put my headphones on and go for fast walks.
Gfted1 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Heres hoping you turn the corner Labadal. And never underestimate the power of booze and loose women. 2 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

ShadySands Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Hot water heater is on the fritz a month out of warranty Seriously, 6 years and 1 month... 2 Free games updated 3/4/21
kgambit Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Hot water heater is on the fritz a month out of warranty Seriously, 6 years and 1 month... You know it's always the way ...... Just got the landscaping crew started. They're planting two new Green Giant Thujas to finish the privacy hedge and then they're going to spread 16 cubic yards of mulch. While they are doing that we're planting some more perennials. Nice day for working outside - 71 degrees at 2pm with a nice breeze.
Calax Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Watchd Guardians of the Galaxy featurettes.... and I want James Gunn to do a Star Wars Film... like an ACTUAL star wars film (Guardians is basically Star Wars with the marvel characters instead of the Star Wars characters). Also I almost has myself a girlfriend now. 2 Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
ManifestedISO Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Hot water heater is on the fritz a month out of warranty Seriously, 6 years and 1 month... No harm in making a phone call, maybe, explain the situation and seek special dispensation. All Stop. On Screen.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Also I almost has myself a girlfriend now. Woo! Congratulations and good luck making it official. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Gfted1 Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Water heaters are pretty easy to change out yourself (unless its located in a terrible spot). You can save yourself a bunch of coin just buying one at Home Depot. A few months ago I looked into changing mine with one of those on-demand tankless versions but it turns out they need a whole bunch of independent exhaust venting, which you cant share with your furnace exhaust, so I lost interest. Nothings wrong with my current water heater so it was too much effort to justify a novelty. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
ShadySands Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Yeah, mine is 75 gallons and also heats the house We had a guy come out and tinker with it so hopefully I don't need to replace it already as we haven't even had the place 5 years and we're the first owners On the bright side we can go a bit smaller(cheaper) if it needs replacing PS the company said they are sorry but no exceptions can be made Edited April 18, 2015 by ShadySands Free games updated 3/4/21

Starwars Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Woke up to the lovely sound of our cat having a morning puke. He threw up a freakin' huge worm, straight out of some sci-fi horror. First time I've seen a cat puke worms as opposed to crapping them out. It was incredibly disgusting. Off to the store to get some pills for the poor guy.

Guard Dog Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I haven't been around much the last two weeks. Just checking in. I see there has been some good news, Calax has a girlfriend (I know he said almost but that was a few days ago. I'm sure he's closed that deal by now) and bad news with Shady taking cold showers. I'm working long hours both at work and home learning the new job. The hardest part has been absorbing the state laws and county codes for property use and water management. I'd describe this job was 33% engineering, 33% ecology and 33% lawyer. Obviously I'm weakest on the last part to that is where I'm spending the most off hours studying. I did hear one interesting nugget. The job was offered to two other candidates who were more qualified but they turned it down because (I'm assuming) it is a public sector job and does not pay well. The offered it to me because I interviewed well and because I'm a vet and they make veteran hiring a priority. I thought that was nice. 5 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

LadyCrimson Posted April 19, 2015 Author Posted April 19, 2015 Sleepover guests! Relatives from IL. ...we did a BBQ and stayed up late playing ... RISK. And some poker. Because that's how we roll around here. I didn't win. Ok, we took them to the coast too for a few hours too, because that's what they wanted to see. Came back and now going for an early dinner then drive them to the airport. Then I can snooze. 1 “Things are as they are.
