The two sisters who hate each other both threaten to come to every reunion and play chicken until the day of. They always try to get me to take sides but my response is to give them a joint of their own because I’m not sharing my pipe with anti-vaxers and then show them kitty pics. I just really get ticked at what they are doing to Mom because they always get her in the middle of it.
The whole thing is so stupid and hateful that it embarrasses me. Gahhhh.
I’m ready to pack up and leave now. I just took my frame stand apart and my basket o’ threads and stuff is in my small rolly suitcase. I wasn’t planning on doing any more stitching tonight, but now that I can’t, I’m getting a little twitchy.
George isn’t either. But of course, he still doesn’t get that bags have an inside. The easiest way to break him is to drop a fuzzy ball into a standing up paper bag. He can see the ball when he looks in the bag, why can’t he see the ball when he looks at where the ball would be from outside the bag?
hehehehe. I knew you were my sort of people!
Our first place was a trailer that had been added onto, so I might have some advice. Let’s start with is it a trailer, a mobile or a manufactured home?
There really are differences. Trailers have really crappy plastic plumbing that is known to fail catastrophically. (wow, I speeled that right the first try!) They have metal exterior walls, horrible insulation and paper thin interior walls. My advice would be to not buy a trailer, no matter how pretty it looks.
However, I think you probably mean it is a mobile home. They are much nicer, they have better plumbing and insulation and you can hang shelves on the walls. The exterior walls are a sort of fiber particle board that look much nicer than metal and is easier to paint, plus they don’t get as hot.
We had a mobile as well and many of my coworkers with stick built homes had about the same maintenance issues that we did, so we thought it was acceptable.
Our current home is manufactured and the only way you could tell is because it is on a brick stem-wall. We have had a few minor issues over the years, but that happens with any home.
We have always had septic and it really isn’t an issue as long as it isn’t abused. Don’t flush chemicals or lots of cat litter or dog poop and you won’t need to worry about it for 5 years or so between pumping. Getting our tank pumped has never cost more than a couple of hundred bucks. Bidet attachments for your toilets save paper from going into your tank. Be sure you know where your leach field is and don’t let any person or dog dig around there.
Your son is doing it wrong, you shower before soaking in the tub cause otherwise you are just soaking in your own funk. I learned that one in Okinawa, those people are fanatics about proper bathing etiquette. But anyhow, I was able to install a hand held shower attachment to a soak tub after watching a couple of you-tube videos, I’m sure you can as well.
Well, of course!
Can you rig up some steps for him to come up to you?
