Where are you located? I had that happen in the first house we owned in Florida. Turns out that lots of things like to grow in the condensate line, and it got plugged up so the water spilled out of the collection tray and out the big register below the air handler.
If you know where that line is, check it, and snake it out if you can do so. Once it’s cleaned out, put a 1/4-cup or so of bleach into the line every so often.

I am a fairly nice/quiet non-complaining person. I don’t like to stir up the bees. Leave me alone and I won’t bother you. Usually. I don’t like confrontations but I will defend myself. That said. I hate people who attribute words or feelings to me, when I never said or felt that way. Person you don’t know me, you don’t have a clue as to my thoughts or feelings. Quit doing that, check your facts and quit lying about me. IOW …STFU!
I live in Cornwall, England. In the local Facebook selling group (which has a name clearly stating it’s in England), we get a couple of ads a week for stuff in Cornwall, Ontario. :rolleyes:
Or they only respond to the last sentence and ignore everything that went on before that, which supported the final sentence.
It’s really annoying in Craigslist ads, also. “Toyota Prius for sale, power windows, AC, cruise control, ABS, GPS, CD player, no body damage.” First question a buyer asks: Does it have power windows and cruise control? :mad:
If someone assaults me without cause, I have every right to defend myself. Placing yourself in a position where you are showing the other person a fucking weapon and thus threatening them with it is illegal and FUCKING STUPID.
You know what? I’ve thrown exactly two punches in my entire 38 years of adulthood. But you spray me with mace because you’re losing your shit and I haven’t done anything, I’m going to feed you the damn mace and leave you in a pool of blood. Doesn’t matter to me who the fuck you are - your gender is irrelevant.
And the whole ‘things in other people’s heads’ thing is delusional. I can’t read her mind or know her history, nor can someone else read my mind and know my intent or my feelings about it, other than by the look on my face, which as I said, I kept neutral despite my irritation. Hell, I didn’t even look in her direction or say anything to her because I expected she’d panic and attack me.
Defend her all you want, but she’s the assailant in this scenario and I was just an innocent person in an elevator. Her being a woman or her history do not enter into this and they’re not an excuse for her behavior.
But hey, you felt the need to jump in, assail and insult me and white knight some person you don’t know from 30 years ago, about a situation you know very little about. Feel proud of yourself? Fuck off.
When I checked my Facebook feed today I was treated to a picture of my cousin and her seven month old baby in a tattoo parlor waiting to get the baby’s ears pierced. Yep, there was my holier-than-thou, ultra-conservative-Christian cousin standing with her baby in front of a wall plastered with various art and stickers, one of which proclaimed “FUCK NICK BRYANT”. Considering that this is the same person who thought Lady Gaga’s last Super Bowl performance was too obscene for public viewing, this has amused me today. Either she never noticed it in the final picture, or she’s so sheltered that she doesn’t understand the message. Or maybe she hates Nick Bryant.
(Who is Nick Bryant, anyway? The only thing I’m coming up with in a Google search is a BBC news personality.)
You said you would have “likely beaten her within an inch of her life”.
Your own words here:
Not self-defense. Ripping the mace out of her hands after being attacked with no provocation? Sure. Nearly beating her to death? No.
I’m not personally a fan of the Interweb Association of Message Board Psychics, who think they can unlock all the secrets of another’s personality from a few random sentences of dickless internet tough-guy hyperbole. Nevertheless. It was a creepy comment, and talking about a "pool of blood’ is another creepy comment, and your current spin that you were talking purely about self-defense, without the over-the-top violence, is simply post hoc backpedaling.
You were writing violent macho bluster, and got called on it. Grow some thicker skin.
Have you ever been sprayed with Mace? I have not, but I’ve had it on my arms and my face as part of security training. Don’t underestimate it or blow it off.
Obviously you’ve never read any of my stuff, don’t know who I am and have decided that YOU TOO can jump in and insult me and assign your ideas to me with zero knowledge of me as a person.
I’ll keep your need to jump in and feel superior in mind in the future when I think about why I have you on my ignore list.
You should probably re-read that and then read a bunch of Mechaforce threads to see why I reached that conclusion. What I know of him, I got from his responses to me and to other people in threads I read, and only at the point where I had to step back and stop interacting with him because he is quite clearly insane. Oh, and I didn’t “call” him that, I speculated.
Do you think you can find people on this board who disagree with me on that, who have actually read this guy’s threads?
Dude, you’re white knighting Mechaforce. Something has gone seriously wrong with your life.
Someone who doesn’t work at my office comes and sits in the lobby, which is open to several floors, and listens to videos on his phone with the speaker on. :mad: I very much want to drop ice water down his back from two floors up where he couldn’t see me, but I keep talking myself out of it.
A boy aged 19 who graduated with my daughter last year has just died of esophageal cancer. Another young man her age (18) has some weird tumor in his chest, close to his heart. It is inoperable. He is going through chemo therapy right now, and not doing too well. This is beginning to sound scary. Neither boy had any childhood cancers, like luekemia. How unusual is it that 2 boys would be that sick in such a small population like that of her class? There were less than 100 kids who graduated with her.
ETA, both boys were obese in highschool.
I HAVE read your stuff, and I know from what you’ve shared that you’re knowledgeable and experienced in your chosen fields of employment; that you’ve had a difficult relationship with some family members (often over matters of personal beliefs), and that you’re generally an upstanding man whose sense of compassion and critical thinking skills are the kind I’d be proud to claim as my own.
I’ve also learned that, particularly in the last few years, you’ve been facing financial and health challenges, some of them quite painful, that I wouldn’t wish on my least favorite people.
What I HAVEN’T read is you lashing out at other Dopers with the degree of hostility you just dished out to Kimstu and Hellestal. That the fundamental incident you’re discussing is thirty years in your past merely enhances the feeling that I ought to ask for you this question:
I have utterly loathsome neighbors. Jerks who will park 10 feet from bedroom windows, then leave their headlights on and stereos thumping away for 15+ minutes. After 10pm. And who respond to civil requests to turn off said lights and stereos by stepping up the volume.
Yes, building management has been notified, with license plate number of the offender. I do not care if poor widdle 20-something wannabe-gangsta “just got home from work”. He is waking up neighbors whose jobs require them to get up as early as 3am, and doing so intentionally, so far as I can tell.
