Random Rants

New rant. Case closed and all items not damaged were recovered, but I'm still .

Thieves are bad enough, but what kind of creep steals a kid's book bag, rips up their classwork and homework, destroys their binders and leaves it all in the middle of the road?

Between this, the church van being stolen and the Wise Man winding up in the bayou, Point Washington is having a freaking crime wave. Lock your doors, and be sure to lock your vehicles at night.

:angry:...that really stinks. Case closed means the punk was caught, right?

Hubby keeps a wrench for me by the water meter at the street for the sprinkler system. Then he had a cutoff installed in the house for the house water line so I wouldn't have to go all the way to the street (potentially at night) to cut that off in an emergency. We've had many water emergencies (had polybutylene pipe -- Shell Oil paid for the entire house to be replumbed -- so far, so good).

Our neighbor is a contractor. He recommends turning your water off when you are out of town because of all of the water emergencies he's seen. He says he always turns his off. We turn off the gas, too, because you never know when it could spring a leak.

Glad Mr. K. was there so you didn't have to take care of it all by yourself.

Oh god I hate polybutylene, shudder, it makes for some horrible experiences in rental management. A lot of condos down here are infested with that crap because the condo board at the time decided to build an elevator or put in a pool with the settlement money.

You're kidding! They didn't replace it? OMC I can't tell you how many times we heard a loud noise and found water rushing out of the ceiling or down a wall! We had the plumbing replaced with copper (works with the water around here).

Not so much a rant as utter disbelief

So your wife has just suddenly lost a family member, is frantically trying to fly cross country for the funeral and to help out the widow w/ three traumatized kids and the one thing she asks you to do is help her figure out her plane ticket/bereavement fare ........................ and you can't take the time away from your GOLF GAME to do so! :angry:

Nope dead serious, many of the condos and townhomes around here are still infested with this crap. Some are taking the initiative and replacing it, at a much greater cost to the owners.

Going to Best Buy to buy a new computer and printer. Stand around for 15 minutes or so. no help at all. Others are standing around. :angry: FTLOC! Needless to say, I left. Went to Sams, in and out in a jif.

No...all property was returned, so no longer tying up tax dollars trying to figure out whodunit.

However, Fuzz and I are hard at work in our spare time.
