What a Ride!!

Just realized I missed my Blog Anniversary :(

Tree days ago...

Uh... I mean three, like September 6th.

Been hanging around the woodlot lately, can you tell... ;-)

Good Morning :)

Needing some Plumbing Advice Plz

Here's the situation:

A few days ago, I was alone at my daughter's apartment, dropping off some things for her. Then all of a sudden I hear water pissing in the hall closet where the water heater sits on a shelf. Thank God the shut off valve was right there, then I flicked the heater breakers off and called the landlord. He sent his maintenance guy over to check it out. We had to leave it as is 'till he came back the next morning with the replacement part. The pressure release valve had failed.

Now here's my concern...

The month prior, we only flicked on the breakers to the water heater for a few hours at a time when we came to clean and prep the apartment as no one was living there yet. I never thought to shut off the water line too, as I've never really dealt with this particular situation. Now I want to prevent another "accident" as my daughter and her roommate will be leaving the apartment 'til next Tuesday... 

Is it better to leave everything on? The girls are concerned that it might decide to leak again and damage their stuff and the apartment with no one there to keep an eye on it. I am concerned about that too. Or should they shut off the breaker and the water line, and if they do.... is there a risk this might happen again when it's turned on.... or was it most likely because the water line was left open??

Common sense tells me turn both off.... Anyone out there with some valid experience on this matter?

Nice Paint Job ;-)

I wish :P

Mine are below... 

They look kinda sad. But hey,

you gotta start somewhere, eh ;-)

      These are suppose to be pretty hardy. The one on the left is called Winnipeg Parks, zone 2b. The second one is zone3, I forget the name. I debated getting them because I've never had much luck with roses in the past, except for wild roses that spread fairly easily. I just couldn't resist starting my flower garden with them. The layout of the lot lends itself perfectly to so many different garden concepts. I've got high sunnier spots, and low, nestled private pockets. I can see you, but you can't see me kinda thing. One thing's for sure, I'm gonna enjoy planning this layout over time ;-)

Finally Done!

Tax Time... Ain't it fun... :/

Gotta love phone tag with "foreign" people???

Yippee!! At one point, I was on a chat thingy for the program I was using, attempting to work through a software glitch. I waited over an hours while the following four lines alternated about one per minute....

One of our Customer Specialists will be right with you.

All agents are currently busy. Please stand by.

An agent will be with you in a moment. Thank you for your patience.

The next available Agent will be with you in a moment.

Needless to say, the screen was full of shit :P

Then I get the message:

Onisokonikumen S: How may I assist you?

Oh great, I thought, and proceeded to write out my issue.

Then he answers:

Thank you for your patience. It will be another moment.

Several minutes later, he comes back with... 

Looking into it. 

Then I get this fucking message:

Thank you for contacting us. You may now close this window.

Your session has ended.

Like seriously!?

What kind of fucking customer service is that??

After more bullshit, I finally got to the nitty-gritty of it.

And I have to say it was really easy, compared to the previous years.

Looking at a bigger picture here, if feels so weird to do these "simple" things, not thinking about how it could affect EVERYONE else. To live just for me, and my daughter of course as she is part of me. I just can't remember ever having this feeling.

And I'm loving it more and more everyday :-)

Happy Easter Everyone :)

Hmm... What to nibble first? ;-)
