January 25, 200916 yr ... I got a throat infection and lost 65 lbs in a week and a half. That landed me in the hospital for another week ... Are you sure that's not a typo, maybe a missing decimal point? 6.5 lbs would be a dangerously rapid weight loss, but 65 lbs in a week and a half would put anyone in a casket.

January 26, 200916 yr ... and then went on with other life distractions. Later came and went and came and went, until it became ....................TOO LATE! This evening I was working in my rental property next door, trying to fix an icemaker installed by a former tenant who suffered from the delusion that he knew his @ss from a hole-in-the-ground when it came to home repair. I decided to just remove it, and came back to my house to get my tools, and as I came up the back steps I heard water running. Not just the normal flow from a kitchen or bathroom faucet, but the full-on roar that you get when you open a garden-house faucet wide. When I opened the back door, I was met by water running out the kitchen door and across the floor of the enclosed back porch. Following the sound to the cabinet beneath the kitchen sink, I found that a flex connector for the hot-water faucet had burst. Enough water had come through it to exhaust the 40-gallon water heater, because the water was no longer hot. I shut it off and got my shop vac and sucked up about 25 gallons of water. The floor is one-piece sheet-vinyl, so I don't think much got through into the chipboard underlayment. I won't know that for a few days, when I see if any spots bubble up. I installed those flex connectors as a temporary measure almost 20 years ago, intending to replace them after I got some other pressing matters (like finding a job) taken care of. I never gave them another thought. I'm just glad it failed when I was only gone for an hour, and not when I was away for two or three days or weeks. Just the water bill and the gas bill for a constantly-running high-capacity water heater trying to keep up would have been devastating, not to mention additional damage to the house. Next item on the agenda is to replace all those flex connectors with tubes.
January 26, 200916 yr yes lucky you weren't at home. Thank goodness you were at home. Do you have a heater?
January 26, 200916 yr ^Wow; at least the floor must be clean now. Yeah. I knew my kitchen floor needed scrubbing, but I didn't think it was so bad my house would rise up in protest. I just now remembered my basement darkroom, location of the water heater and directly beneath the kitchen sink. I vacuumed up about three gallons of water from the carpet there. Thank goodness you were at home. Do you have a heater? I have ceiling fans and floor fans, and I've turned the thermostat to about 75. The outside temp is 10 and falling, so the air is very dry, things are drying out pretty quickly. It's nice when an old house sags the right direction, and the water runs out the kitchen door instead of into the dining room and living room with their hardwood floors and rugs.

January 27, 200916 yr Funny. The park around the corner from where I lived in Seattle was apparently the big meeting place for some of these "real life RPG'ers". Most days they would be there, like the baseball players or hikers.
January 27, 200916 yr meanwhile, in other not so light-hearted religion related news, that azzhole osama bin laden is still heaping pain and injury on us to this day. :whip: * Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:30:02 GMT Construction worker breaks leg at toxic WTC tower NEW YORK (AP) A construction worker has broken his leg in an accident at a toxic ground zero tower where two firefighters were killed over a year ago. The accident happened last week in the basement level of the former Deutsche Bank tower, where workers were removing debris. Officials say an excavator struck the LVI Environmental Services worker and he broke his right leg. New York City's Buildings Department cited the contractor for not providing enough shoring or netting for fall protection. The accident is the most serious at the site since LVI took over the job cleaning debris and dismantling the building, which was badly damaged on Sept. 11. Prosecutors last month indicted the former subcontractor, John Galt Corp., and three construction officials on manslaughter charges for the firefighters' deaths in a 2007 blaze. http://wcbstv.com/newyorkwire/22.0.html?type=local&state=NY&category=n&filename=NY--ToxicTower-Accide.xml
January 27, 200916 yr Four things... 1) In my architecture class yesterday, I had a professor give a lecture on Environmental Footprints (EF). The lecture was pretty standard, but one point caught my attention. We were looking at a graph comparing average EFs to populations of countries. As usual the USA was at the top. But then the professor decided to comment on it by saying that America is a very large country, much larger than Germany, and therefor we NEED cars...so maybe if we cut back on our use of trains and planes we could reduce our EF. I'm curious what you all think because I just about killed him. If it wouldn't have been a class of 200 I would've spoken up. 2) I was at my boyfriend's house last night and his cousin walked into the room (they live together) while we were talking about Cincinnati. Mat (the BF) thinks that Cincinnati is simply ultra-hyped by me and nothing more...so he decided to "burn" me by telling his cousin how in love with the city I was. So she responded with the same things I say about it. "It's beautiful, I'd live there in a heartbeat, I desperately want to go there after my degree, the hills are breathtaking, the architecture is incredible, and culture is vibrant." Apparently she went to OSU for a couple of years and took regular trips down to Cincy. MY POINT IS that everyone I'm spoken to about Cincinnati gives one of two reactions, either they've never been there and think nothing of it or they've been there and absolutely adore it. So maybe all Cincinnati really needs is a little more exposure. Get "Good Morning America" to pick up a few more segments there, make sure the MTV appearances are high profile, get some movies shot there, etc. The city has it all, except the exposure. 3) Psycho Teddy is terrifying 4) Presbyterians tend to be pretty liberal, and I think they're more likely to support dogs than Catholics.

January 28, 200916 yr ^Word. Sometimes people get so caught up in their own city that they can't find merit in any other place, and in fact attack other cities out of felt inferiority of their own home.

David, David, David. Look what you've done. You're going to get edale in trouble with you. Where and when in the above post did I say or imply any of that Cinci was racist or oppressive? Please indicate. How can you claim to measure my knowledge of Cinci? Who are you, Ms. Cleo? My statement about ProkNo5's boyfriend were simply because he was razzing him and giving him a hard time. Nothing more.

January 28, 200916 yr Speaking of studying, UO has completely destroyed my meager attempt at it today. Thus, I must banish myself for a couple of hours.

January 28, 200916 yr ^ I'm not sure, but here in midtown Euclid looks fairly clear outside my window
January 29, 200916 yr We were supposed to get something here in Taxachusetts, Why do they call it that? Taxes in Massachusetts aren't that high :? Boston Tea Party or somethin' :? This website is so cool. Check it out and click around. I don't know anything about industrial design but it's fun to see what all they're up to. http://www.core77.com/reactor/
January 29, 200916 yr I don't know if it's still true, but Massachusetts used to be legendary for its horrendous personal property taxes, especially on things like expensive cars.
January 29, 200916 yr I've always heard that Wisconsin is #1 for property taxes, but I'd never actually looked it up. Well, according to MSN Money Massachusetts is #6 and Wisconsin is #9. New Jersey is #1 Ohio is #21 I also know that overall, the taxation on Milwaukeeans is one of the lowest for a large or mid-sized city.
