I thought not axing a person in the face after they apologise with alcohol is very dwarven. The incident has been noted in my book of grudges though and there will be payback at a later date.

It still hurts. But yeah, my scars are a lot smaller than my dad's were. He looked like he'd been gutted and was down for weeks with the open procedure. Big nasty.

I hate gallbladders. They're like as stupid as an appendix. Just waiting there......doing nothing much of anything.....waiting to get infected or clogged and be removed. The sooner humans evolve to be born sans gall bladders and appendixes the better. I'd be for genetic manipulation to get rid of them both.

ADVENTURES IN HOME OWNERSHIP #91
(91 is one of my favorite numbers because you may think it's prime, but it's prime factorization is 7 and 13. Number are funny like that.)
I was preparing a lasagna for a coworker. This guy is raising his granddaughter, a cute junior higher, because his daughter is bipolar and unable to care for her daughter. His wife has leukemia, diabetes, and is currently in intensive care because she's just been diagnosed with congesting heart failure. I could not, unfortunately, get the oven to turn on. After trying a few times, I got online and began to take it apart to see what was going on.
The oven igniter wasn't working.
since the broiler igniter IS working, I decided to go ahead and try to move the broiler igniter to the oven, and see if tht fixed the problem. It wouldn't cost me anything but time and effort, and the worst that would happen is I have to buy a new oven (well, except for house explosions, but I knew to turn off the gas valve), which, considering the stove came with the house and I think is original from when the house was built (i.e. is abot 30 years old), made more sense than paying $129 plus parts to have a repairman come out.
I fussed and struggled and cursed wished I had more tools, but eventually got the igniter off the thingy that realeases the gas (techincal, I know. Hey, I just observed the operation of the thing. Terminology is beyond me!) only to discover it had been replaced before....by an a@#*&%! that broke the original screw shafts off inside the original installation holes, and then somehow drilled through 1/16" of metal with another screw taht broke off while I was getting it apart. I have no way to make yet ANOTHER new hole in the metal connecter thingy on the gas releasing thingy to attach the igniter in the right place....so...it's looking like new oven time.
But you know what? I got that sucker apart. I got the broiler igniter ready to install, and if someone hadn't messed up a previous repair, I would have gotten my oven back. So while I may have failed, I consider this a moral victory.
Go me.

ADVENTURES IN HOME OWNERSHIP #91
...awesome stuff...
Home ownership is not for the faint of heart, that's for sure! Good job. But remember, if you can't do something, you obviously need more tools. I'd start with either a Sawzall or Dremel Mototool. I've no clue if they would be useful to you, but they're way cool.

Mornin' folks. Going to treat the BMW/Mercedes dealership this morning. Nice place, two kitchens, private gym, etc.
Seems like an awful lot for a freaking car lot to me.
The wife and I got upgraded once to a Mercedes when we were in NOLA a few years back. We had requested an SUV and they didn't hold one for us, so they upgraded us. It was sweet. One of the best cars I've ever driven.

Yes, congrats on the victory Jess. As a fellow homeowner, I love fixing/replacing things around the house. My most proud accomplishment was replacing 3 light fixtures: one in the kitchen, one in the dinning area, and one outside the front door.

My wife is worried that I love My Little Pony. I have no idea why. It's such an adorable show. A bit heavy handed with the morals, but I would love to watch such a show with my kids. And I love Pinkie Pie, she's so cute.
