I'm very familiar with those joys, alas. But at least it was just the shut-off valve and nothing worse! (That's how I always try to look at it- it could have been worse...) Enjoy the Macallan.

I know. I should be grateful that the toilet didn't fall down into the kitchen sink. That would have been worse.

But thank God for my Macallan....

[shelley6441]

Yeah, right. The joys.

Is that sarcasm, Mewsie?

LMAO!!!!!

LOL. I mean #8. I rent, so those headaches belong to my landlord, but I still own a car and a computer.

I remember being SO determined to leave my apartment renting days behind to enjoy the pleasures of owning my own little nest.

To this day it still doesn't feel like home. I know, I know. I suck.

Some days, things just don't go the way we want them to. D:

[shelley6441]

I know.

Yikes!!

*sends you hip waders*

[shelley6441]

Can you now send me a reliable, multi-talented repair person to fill the hip waders?

[belleferret]

Don't know anyone who can repair leaks, but I DO know a multi-talented person. I'll send him over as soon as I'm done with him. ;-)
