RN we had a water pressure valve installed. We were having problems with things dying before their time because our pressure was too high. Like the whole house water conditioner, water heater, the mechanism in the toilet tank, faucets, etc. Now the clothes washer and toilet tank take longer to fill, and the shower doesn't blow as hard, but it's worth it not to have to replace the other things. The water pressure was so high, that when that valve in the toilet tank would blow, it would blow the tank top off and the water shot to the ceiling.

RN, I'm really glad you got that fixed but also have to thank you for the mental picture of your toilet lid hitting the ceiling. I needed the chuckle.

RN..hahaha, the lid doesn't hit the ceiling, just the water. The lid sort of gets blown off to the side.

RN, Lol. It's still funny though, although I know it would be far from funny when it actually happened. I know it would ruin my day.

Naja, are you having to pay for these repairs out of your own pocket?

Because if you are on a public water system, high pressure like what you are explaining is their fault.

RN...I didn't know that, Glenn. I will mention that to DH. Thank you. I just thought it was our responsibility to control it, and I am pretty sure DH thought that, too.

Right Now, it would be really terrific if y'all dropped off some belated birthday wishes AND perhaps some get well wishes, to COUCHTOMATO, as her birthday was 3 days ago and she became ill that day with painful kidney stones (as per her note to me in my folder), plus her daughter has an upcoming operation...

RN I'm looking through bread recipes and found one that you BAKE it before you let it RAISE. I'm not an experienced enough cook to know how to do that!

RN my hubby keeps sending me messages on Facebook instead of just talking to me. We're in the same room! Could touch each other if we wanted. I could understand if my brother was still here but it's just us and the critters!

RN I just posted a new pic of Sierra in my folder. I guess I forgot to tell you guys that Mandy, Sierra, and Mandy's hubby, Chris moved to Tallahassee, FL because Mandy was offered a great job there. She's the assistant director of student housing for FL State University. She not only has a good salary but they also got a free 3 bed/3bath apt. They've been there about 2 months now and she loves it there. And since they are only 4 hours from Orlando, Sierra still gets to spend plenty of time with her Daddy. They meet halfway so each only has to drive 2 hours.

RN Sierra is such a cutie and so grown up! RN2, I'm doing anything and everything in order not to start working on our taxes. With the move, we're gonna owe big this year, first time ever owing. It's nice the company pays for relocation costs, but it's counted as income. Still, it's better than having to pay for hotels and plane tickets and movers.

RN (well Friday but it's been a hectic weekend) 17yr old dd just got her driver's license!! She is so excited, finished her lessons in the summer but had to wait for a strike to be over to take test. DH and I are just thrilled (insert tongue in cheek) to add almost $2,500 to our annual budgeting for insurance. {sigh}

RN now my dad's fund raiser is going on at his church. I can't attend because I am in another state. He's been in the hospital for a month with his 3rd recurrence of Hodgkin's and his insurance has run out and they won't pay for his bone marrow transplant. He's 63.

Oh (((Naja)))! I sure hope they raise so much money that finances won't be a burden for him anymore and he can concentrate on getting that transplant and getting well.

RN (actually in a couple of hours, EST) Extreme Home Makeover is showing the 2 hour special that took place in my neighborhood, 2 blocks from my house. The week it happened was in November so the weather was pretty nice, thank goodness. Its so cool to see what actually happens. The block that the work was going on was lit up 24/7 like it was daylight. I sure wouldn't have wanted to try sleeping in a house on that street. But it was very exciting. We saw HUGE equipment going down our street all week and hundreds of people. It was very cool.
