Plumbers...well, they get called other things...
The_Kitchen_Guy said:The 8th and 9th dwarfs that you never read about were Sparky and Leaky. At least, Snow White never had a hole put in her house.
Probably was thinking I was over reacting- which I admited to DH I did- I apologized for getting so mad I slammed the front door... MY HOUSE WAS SMOKING- I was upset- I like having a house- it keeps the bugs out!raebates said:Glad to hear the disaster's been fixed. Also glad to hear you didn't resort to homicide. I'd visit you in prison, but I'd rather just have lunch with you someday.
I told The Furry Guy about your DH's adventure. He just laughed and shook his head. I honestly don't know whether he was empathizing with you or your DH. I was afraid to ask.
The_Kitchen_Guy said:Plumbing isn't that difficult but it requires the use of a special vernacular that is best kept away from the ears of children.
raebates said:I can assure you he wasn't shaking his head over you. Other than, "She's ticked!" I didn't mention your response. I concentrated on the fact that there was now a hole in your house. When he comes in from tearing apart the dead Maverick in our yard, I'll let him know it's been fixed.![]()

pcchefjane said:Hey...no better "firefighters" than angels! Glad nothing was seriously damaged, including him! LOL! I love your "Everything will be okay in the end. If everything is not okay, it is not the end!" I'll have to remember that one!
