RE: Lil Then I just sat at my desk enjoying the view of my nine-acre watermelon field
Sounds nice. Out in the country too. Any cold ones, that is watermellons. The other "cold ones", twenty-four cans of beer lasts me almost a year.
I lived in Florida and one summer (early 1950's) there was a watermellon price war. Would you believe 12 mellons for a dollar. Then a sign went up. Take what you can eat. No busting mellons.
Good you got elbow-grease to work. It does wonders. 13 years on screws that most likely have not been turned? I know the feeling. I replaced BB toilet and the old base bolts took longer to remove than to install the toiler and clean the floor. Old fasteners take time to turn and if they break off, well then it becomes a job making everything right again so the new stuff fits correctly.
BTW that new toilet is dandy. No more slow flushes and it uses less water too. Motivated me to put a kit in the watersoftener control valve.
I didn't read the whole thread. I posted on the thread much later but did not see Boots posts. It was good you pointed out her postings.
I know I offer "How to fix it" advice when sometimes I should let people know someone cares and understands. I gusee I am somewhat a typical guy with the problem solving mindset. You do much better in the support and understanding area so when I read what you write, I notice how the two sides play out.
I have literally fixed so many things, sometimes I don't see the emotional side of some issues. But I cant get emotional in my professional life. Machines are supposed to work in a logical fashion. Talking to a non-functional mechanical device never worked for me. People have been calling for 40 years so I guess I am doing most things right.
If you get to a store that sells the nova-foam mattress toppers, check them out. I would put them above 300+ thread count sheets. Just one of life's little pleasures and it is non-fattening too.
