A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2493 - This one is opened by me !

I am so sorry to hear that, Sunny. here we have the regulator for the gas go out on our fireplace. Rod called and is going to get a replacement part for it on Saturday. It seems to never end, ya know ???

I am sorry your DH's work pay works like that. That is going to be one rough 5 weeks. Esp. with pumps going out.

I have clothes in the dryer. next up is some paperwork.

I am so sorry, Sunny. You cannot live without water. And what a strange pay schedule.
I go out in a few minutes and get somethings done in the world. Meanwhile, I'm resting and catching up.

Going to bed soon. Sweet Dreams everyone.

Sweet dreams, Carol. I'm on my way too,

Good morning.

Yesterday's bill came to $682...the pump had blown. That hit my emergency funds hard.

Today will be a day of running water to clear up the turbidity and bleach treatment. Then cleaning up the mess in this house that came along with it.

Have a good day everyone.

Ouch, Sunny. I am sorry.
Good morning. I am looking forward to this day being over. Then it will be Friday and the weekend. I'll shop a little after I get Teddy to school.

OH MY GOODNESS, THAT is a lot of $$ and right before Christmas too. I am so sorry. Glad it is fixed now though.

Enjoy your shopping, Tina.

I am off to begin my day. I have laundry, dishes, & more bookkeeping to do.

I wish you all a good day.

Good afternoon. I got all done that I intended to this morning. And some additional outside work. So I'm good until dinner time. I think I'll nap or at least rest a little.

THey moved "The Big Bang Theory" to Thursday nights. so I watched a new one of those tonight. Then I watched half of "Grey's Anatomy"..all the while Rod kept asking me what was going on..I finally said I have no idea, I missed the first 30 minutes of this.

Then we watched "Doc Martin" on PBS. Now I am listening to it rain while I am on here talking to you.

I think we are getting the storms tonight that we were supposed to get last night. (I just saw a bit of lightening)

Poor Beowulf is afraid of storms. He just went down the hall to be by our bedroom door.

Poor Doggy. My dog also hates thunderstorms now. He didn't use to.

Storm is past now--which is a good thing.

I will say that Beowulf has some "Doggie medicine" to calm him if a storm gets too bad. So at least I do have that.

Sweet Dreams..it is bedtime in this house.

Good morning, hoping your storms are done Junie.

Today is a day of cleaning and cooking...grandgirl will be waiting for me to pick her up when she gets home from school. I was told to have a cake made for her

Well, you better have cake then.
Good morning. I see I didn't come in to say good night last night. I started feeling badly about bed time. I hope that is over now. I have plans to shop for the weekend after I get Teddy to school. I hope all have a great day.

Yes, sounds to me as if you had better have cake, too. I am thinking your DH enjoys these edicts that your Grand girl hands out.

OH MY, Tina. I do hope that you re not getting sick. I hope that you feel better as the day goes on.

I have some errands to do--then I think I might do some window shopping. You know to get me "in the shopping mood".

Good evening. I wonder if Sunny made a cake for us?
My issues were just digestive and over by the time I got ready to leave. All is well now. I did take a heavy duty nap today and I'm still trying to shake it off.

Well, if Sunny did make us cake, I did not get any.

I am glad that you are feeling better. I am betting the nap helped a lot. I think I will go to sleep a bit earlier tonight. I think a good night's sleep will be a good thing.

Sweet dreams, Carol. It'll be awhile for me yet.

Good morning. It's a pretty day and very windy. I'll get some things done around here. I hope everyone has a great day.

Good afternoon!

We have been busy today. Went to a fireplace store & bought a few parts for our fireplace. Rod is currently putting it in. Then we went to a home improvement store & picked up a few items.
and oh..we stopped at a Casey's convenience store & bought coffee & donuts. I got a pumpkin spice latte..

I made chocolate cake and an apple pie. Bring me a latte(I've never had one) and I'll be ready to share

I hope your fireplace was an easy fix....we have been dealing with plumbing issues all day. Pulling up the pump and adding a new one has stirred sediment and clogged every tap and pipe bend. We had EVERYTHING tore apart...and now finally back together.

Grandgirl and I are playing with Lego's now.

I've never had a latte either. I hope you are done with plumbing for a few years now, Sunny.
I've done some things around here today. Not enough but it will have to do. I didn't get to Home Depot this morning. That'll have to wait for tomorrow. Now to figure out what I want to fix for dinner.

To my notion, a Latte is basically a milky coffee. perhaps a little foamy as well. (so no low fat milk (usually)

The fireplace is NOT fixed. so we will do w/o one. Heavens forb id he ask the place that put it in to come & fix it. Better we went & spent nearly $100.00 on parts that do not work.

I am in a fit as on the way to visit my grandsons we found out that the oldest was sick so we came home.

My fireplace is gas too. But I guess its simpler than yours. Just on and off. No regulator. And the only part that messes up is, about every ten years, it gets too clogged to use or something like. I can manufacture a new piece for that. And I only use the gas portion to start a wood fire in it and then turn the gas off.

well we will hope that it was not something so simple wrong with our Fireplace as with yours. But for the time being, we will do without. He told me to call the place last week--he should have just left it at that. Makes me so angry.

I am going to sleep soon. night night. sweet dreams.

Sweet dreams, Carol. I am going to bed soon myself.

Yay, we're back! This morning the site wouldn't work at all. So I made my run to Home Depot. $250 there. But I think I have all I need. I also filled my tank. So I am good for the start of the week.
And I'm here in time to wish everyone a good afternoon.

Well our plumbing woes hit us today as well, we had to tear apart EVERYTHING in the bathroom. Things have been reconnected and soldered and recaulked....and if anything else acts up I am moving to an apartment.

I guess we all have our run of bad luck from time to time.

Sorry for the latest malady, Sunny. But yes we all have our turn at the bad luck it seems.
here is what I think....we buy or build these homes at one time & buy the things in them at one time--so it stands to reason that they will wear out at the same time causing huge expense-----all at one time. I hope that you are done for a good while. I guess the people that can & do replace things every so often just because they can have a point. (sadly we cannot)

Good news is Rod got the fireplace to work this morning..so we are now prepared for bad winter weather.

WOW Tina,---that is lot of cash. I do hope that you got all that you will be needing for awhile now.

Sorry about the server's AM hiccup today; not sure what happened, but the webserver crashed around 4:30a and I didn't get it back up until about 9a. Normally there are tools on the server capable of fixing such issues, but when the webserver crashes it likes to not allow them to restart it immediately; will probably need to figure out how to make it let it rest for like 5 minutes before trying to restart it...

When my computer takes a nose dive, I give it a five minutes or more to rest. I have to, so I don't do physical damage.
I am sorry you had such a bad day (or several), Sunny. I hope everything is in working order now.
I am glad you got your fireplace working now, Carol.
I'm tired and about ready for bed. Sweet dreams all.

Thanks Tina, I am happy the fireplace is on working order as well.

James, thanks for working so hard to make sure AGF is working well again.
I got lucky this morning as I did not have time to come on here, so the first I knew of it was when I read Tina say it "Had" been messed up earlier.

It is bed time & I am wide awake..

Sweet Dreams, Tina.

Yeah, I made a couple of configuration changes this afternoon too, a little longer of a timeout than what was there before; hopefully that'll make the server play nice next time.

YAY for us !!!

Good morning.

Wow, the reply box is large now....I like it.

Tina, did you have repairs as well? That's a chunk of money to give Home Depot.

I am glad you have heat Junie...do you all have registers with gas? Or just fireplaces?

I know I complain at times, thanks for listening. As bad as repairs have to go...I am thankful we had the money to pay for them There were times in the past that we wouldn't have.

We are supposed to get a nice day today...I will tie up shrubs that need it to reduce snow damage and such.

Good morning. There are definite changes to the forum but it is not awful.
There are always things falling apart around the house, Sunny. And I do need some major repairs. But meanwhile I have "bandaids". And a few things I am stockpiling for later use.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day. I am going to do some shopping after I get Teddy to school. That's as far as I've gotten in my planning.

I am SO MAD. I was backspacing to make a correction & my whole post is GONE. and yes, I tried to go back to where it was and I ended up back in a PM I had made. Then, I had to repost that. The post in this thread that I lost was too long to redo.

So let me say we have gas heat in the form of forced air via registers in each room to heat the house. The air is forced by blowers. They are run by electricity. So, we need the fireplace when the electricity is out. Plus it is nice to have to sit by of an evening to stay warm.

I do not do change easily, but not to worry, the forum changes will soon be usual to me. Plus I am thinking I will soon come to appreciate the advantages.

I will go to Emily's at some point today to pick up some decorations that I took there to decorate the yard for Luke with. Momma will not be doing it when they move.

And oh..they will not be coming here to stay until they leave this weekend. They will be living in a hotel. I am guessing that rather than live with one set of parents or the other, a hotel is neutral.

I wish you all a good day.

Development on the software pretty much *stopped* until we extended the offer to work on things; all of the competing software are miles ahead as far as how things work, so we're trying to play some pretty hefty catchup (the upgrade in January was all behind the scenes, and the one last year was just a security update; I don't think there's been a *major* update in like 5 years).

Also, if any of you check the forum from a tablet/phone, you'll notice that the software is now optimized to display correctly with your devices (cellphones in landscape primarily, but portrait still displays pretty well).

Sweet dreams all. I'm tired. It was a long day.

We also changed how the TimeZone thing works, you're no longer offsetting the server time, you're instead just choosing your timezone; this can be located in your Preferences under "My Stuff".
