The water got turned off today. The bill has been paid. The guys said they’d turn it back on around 5 or shortly after.
It is now 5:38 EDT. No water. I need to take a shower and I’m getting a major headache because all I’ve eaten today is an egg on an english muffin and two small bags of chips. Everything in the house to make for dinner requires water.
I guess I’ll gnaw on a dry granola bar and hopefully there will be water soon.
Yep have been crying into her fur all morning. Just wish I could stop.
I’m so sorry, sweetie. You’ll get through today. You’ll get through tomorrow as well.

Just take it one day at a time. You know … the way the drunks do.

Good thoughts to you madrabbitwoman. I’ve not ever been where you are, but for other difficult times it did help to remember “and this too shall pass”. Hang in there.
In the meantime I pit myself for insisting that putting the microwave over the stove was a perfect spot and even though I have to stand on my tippy toes to take things in and out it would “not be a problem. I’ll be careful”. Famous last words. I now have a two by two inch whatever degree burn that blistered and oozes on the inside of my wrist. Worst of all, when the bowl of hot chilli up-ended on my arm it hurt so much that I grabbed a dishcloth to wipe it off and removed most of the skin. That hurt! Now it’s just oozing and annoying. Doesn’t hurt anymore fortunately.
And if I could remember not to get hot coffee at the drive-thru, that would be good too. Once again it leaped out of the cup and all over my lap and the car that I just spent five hours detailing.
The water’s back on. So that’s done now.
I am ranting at myself. I have spent way too much time and energy over the years pointing out stuff that eventually reveals itself and/or gets pounced on by the masses anyway. Damn me. 
I’m no medical expert, but that sounds like a burn that needs medical attention, and soon. Get thee to an emergency room or an urgent care, and do it now!
As much as I love CSI:Las Vegas and proudly boast that I’ve seen every single episode, I HATE the new character. Finn is pretentious and I CAN’T STAND Elizabeth Shue’s smirky face. Watch her - she always has a smirk. ALWAYS. Fuck it’s annoying.
Oh I did have to show that I currently have insurance.
For a while there, my complex was turning off the water so frequently that I got in the habit of leaving a one quart water bottle filled on the kitchen counter, in addition to the Brita pitcher in the fridge. I cycled it by using it to water plants and then making sure it was filled again when I was done.
Oh! That would not be good - forget I suggested it.
Try to view it as setting him free to find a woman who will be happy to put up with his shit.
I guess so. It’s just that I end up going to one sort of health provider or the other at least once a week - and sometimes three times when I’m having PT - so routine never gets done.
Kaylasdad, I am jealous!
{{{madrabbitwoman}}} It will get better, it just takes time.
Lynn was right, the reasons the kittens start running from humans is because the kids kick them and pull their tails and do other mean things. I have to trap them and then resocialize them so they know that all people aren’t mean.
Hurray for you and your family!!!
I’m flabbergasted that people don’t have big bottles of drinking water handy. I’m down to 30 gallons and will need to stop at the water store soon. Is this a regoinal thing?
I’m not being snarky, just confused. (I’m also the sort of person who has food to last for a month, 60 lbs of catfood and 90 lbs of kitty litter handy.)
OK, maybe I should stop typing lest I scare people about the amounts of ammo and guns I have.
Makes note to not piss off flatlined
You’re a whiny baby and you need to shush. I’m talking to you, JE.
When someone asks “when is the new girl showing up?” that person really doesn’t need to hear a 10 minute lecture about calling a coworker “a girl.” Seriously–bigger things to worry about. Really.
Jaw. Floor. Did I miss this earlier? She lets her kids kick kittens? What kind of mother lets her kids abuse baby animals?
Probably a regional thing - not everyone lives in the desert. 
Dear new colleague who deliberately mispronounces my name. Today is the day. I will be polite and give you a chance, and then I will be a bitch. You have been warned. Okay, you haven’t, but I just liked the way that sounded.
I’m reasonably sure the issue wasn’t the sardines’ native language…
Pitting myself again…less forum more focus. :smack:
I’m pretty sure they didn’t say much to me on the way in or the way out. I normally love those things!
