I was told talking to the wolves is fine. Just be sure its normal conversational tones and quiet, not "dawww puppwwwp who wuvs you" talk.

What's wrong with "dawww puppwwwp who wuvs you"?!

If you do it wrong, you make the sort of high pitched noises that food makes.

The last thing you want to tell a wolf is "I am food"

wait. you work with actual wolves? Awsome

Just got a water bill of over $500 (more than double the usual). Alarmed, I checked our water use and it's almost doubled.

So we have a leak.

There is nothing so relaxing as:
(1) Checking the water meter and confirming that yes, you do indeed have a leak. You're not a water hog.
(2) Turning off all your fixtures and seeing the water use drop to 0. The leak is in something easy to fix, like a dishwasher or a toilet.

Now there's the fun while everyone else is out of the house of turning on the fixtures one at a time until I find the culprit. Given that the studio toilet was making weird noises just last week, I already have my primary suspect, but I'm obsessive-compulsive so I'm working my way from the front of the house to the back, 10 minutes at at time, and it'll be another half hour before my suspicions are confirmed.

But if it *is* that toilet, it'll be the fourth new valve I've put in since 2008. That would be pretty appalling.

well, the big question is:where did the water go? Just down the toilet, is good news, but a leak in the wrong place godd do serious damage like mould in the walls

are 5 psts in a row already a Blitz ?

Is that an apocalyptic observation or is there just some law that is going into effect?

In certain circles where posters are unfamiliar with how the US government works, there's a massive misinformation campaign that the government is switching to permanent daylight savings time. Or permanent standard time. They haven't quite got their stories straight. But they're absolutely certain that the government has lied to them, either way.

In reality, nothing has changed

Congress Cant Reach Consensus.

Not likely to pass this year and the bill dies when this Congress adjourns.

What's more cryptic to me is that Arizona is one of the two states that don't observe Daylight Savings Time. So TOZ's post is a mystery to me...

EDIT: Ah! Since all the states around them change and they don't, sometimes they're in Mountain time, and sometimes in Central. Or some such. Now I get it! (Don't know whether they make it all the way to Pacific, and our game just started up again.)

here in the European Union they held a online referendum if DST should be abolished wich resulted in 98% voting to get rid of it, now they discuss for years what to do with this and don‘t know how to proceed

Ooh, I’m even in Europe, though I have no Playmobil! :-(

Hi NobodysHome,

It was the partially collapsing wall that touched me.

"Watch your feet!" Co-worker said right before the wall collapsed on my leg.

No worries, tis only a flesh wound.

Also, you can drink beer and wine at 16, and the hard stuff at 18. Seriously. My unit was involved in a REFORGER exercise, in 1989 (I think). And it was around Octoberfest, and I saw teenagers drinking beer. No lie.

yes, of course you can. here out in the countryside traditionally you get introtuced to beeer mixed with cola or lemonade by uncles or sport coaches one drink at time when you turn 14. at 16 you can buy beer and wine.

but you can't drive a car under 18.
and if you comit a crime you are treated as a minor until 21

Doing pretty well, though kind of out of it from a massive anxiety attack at my son's birthday dinner last night. But it's much better now. I love my son very much, but all I could think of was getting back to the house and my dogs. As soon as I did the anxiety began to dissipate. Today I've been hit by waves of ideas for the future of my current campaign and I just keep writing and writing them down.. lol..

How are you things with you?

lot of work at, well, work but good otherwise

hi john

hi Cal, how are you?

hi FHDM

her 13 year old had never taken public transport alone

a french co worker some weeks ago got a call from her 8 year old son who, while walking alone through paris, somehow walked right into a huge political protest and didn't know how to procede

second point:
kids have a lot of freedom.
iwe expect kids at age 7 or 8 to take public transport alone and at age 10 to go alone to be unsupervised in a public swimming pool - in canada apparantly not

a co worker moved here from canada, her strangest points about living in Germany:

- she never thought there would be a place where you need a color coded anual calender to bring out the garbage - yes you do, of course. we have 5 different (color coded ) waste bins with different schedules and intervals

like last monday: the kids sleep the wife is doing zumba :-)
