Love...Oh Bob, not to worry, I also shop at Lowe's. Love um!!! This wasn't a Home Depot issue, it was a Peerless faucet issue and Peerless delt with it just fine, I only wish I could have received a credit rather than a replacement faucet. When the package arrives from Peerless I'm thinking of taking it right up to Home Depot for a refund!!!! I'll use the credit for a better faucet!!! I refuse to replace a crappy faucet with a new crappy faucet! And it shouldn't be a crappy faucet...it was expensive! Oh...the joy of home repair.<BR/><BR/>Mosquitos. Don't get me started. I grew up in NY. Home of the mosquitos from hell. To top it off, I was also allergic. A mosquito bits would result in a welt 5"x5". No joke. Oh, forgot to mention...mosquitos were attracted to me like bees to honey. Moving to CA saved my life. Barely any mosquitos! But I digress. I once watched a Monty Python skit that nearly killed me with laughter. I've only seen it once. The fellows were out hunting mosquitos in the woods with army fighting vehicles equipped with machine guns. *Buries head in hands!!!* Still funny to this day. <BR/><BR/>I'll tell you a really funny story. My sister and I were just laughing about this the other night because she asked me if it really happened. Oh yes, it happened!!! Back in the 70's, teenagers watching Saturday Night Live in the bedroom. Really stoned. A squirrel ran behind the TV. We all looked at one another in utter disbelief. What should we do? Call Daddy? Nope, too stoned, he'd notice. So we just watched Saturday Night Live and then Monty Python with a squirrel in our bedroom. Then went to bed. The squirrel obviously had a way out. Apparently the same way he came in. When Laur brought this up the other night we couldn't stop laughing. Our memory was so similar. Is it just our family??!!! I can't believe stupid stuff happens only to us. This was also the night Saturday Night Live did a hilarious skit about pot brownies. We were so stoned we couldn't stop laughing. Those days are long gone but oh so precious. <BR/><BR/>XOSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111045716713716292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62281500375499776.post-73573806872597453792009-02-02T22:00:00.000-05:002009-02-02T22:00:00.000-05:00OH, and bob?you have awfully quiet mozzies. ours g...OH, and bob?<BR/>you have awfully quiet mozzies. ours go<BR/>"eeeeeeeeeeeeeee" from the other direction "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"<BR/><BR/>just as i drop off to sleep "eeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"<BR/>then when they get right in my ear "bzzzz bzzzzz eeee bzzzz"kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964475783207438103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62281500375499776.post-79576267646577520762009-02-02T21:57:00.000-05:002009-02-02T21:57:00.000-05:00*bang*GOTCHA!*bang*<BR/><BR/>GOTCHA!kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964475783207438103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62281500375499776.post-18770646859305553882009-02-02T21:07:00.000-05:002009-02-02T21:07:00.000-05:00BUZZBUZZjust bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06686002034670653764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62281500375499776.post-22380107134266533962009-02-02T21:06:00.000-05:002009-02-02T21:06:00.000-05:00theres been a mosquito following me around and it ...theres been a mosquito following me around and it has suddenly disappeared but my nose is awfully tickly and weird feeling.<BR/><BR/>i'm wondering if i breathed him in?kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964475783207438103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62281500375499776.post-78883121266835513722009-02-02T19:30:00.000-05:002009-02-02T19:30:00.000-05:00I went to Lowe's a couple of weeks ago.

You're safe with me! Oh, and rather than worry about how "it" would be preceived you should have considered how "you" would be preceived!!!! NO CECE, I CAN'T HELP MYSELF!!! Oh crap I'm laughing too hard. (You know I wub you honey!)<BR/><BR/>Why am I here? I was trying to call Calphalon for pan replacements, but they're closed. They're on east coast time the little bastards. I've needed to make this call for the past year and finally I make it and what do they tell me? Yup, "Our hours are 9-5." Damn. Lazy bastards.<BR/><BR/>I've been on the phone for three hours trying to find the right plumber at the right price to "snake" the tub (it's backed up and I can't "unback" it!) and while they're at it replace the garbage disposal. Rob thought he could do it but wasn't able to get the old one off (it's an older Kitchen Aid and rather complicated), so we've been without a disposal for about 2 months and I've HAD ENOUGH. I'm the one who does all the work around here and I REFUSED to replace the disposal as most of you remember, so rather than call a plumber or handyman Rob informed me "I'm going to do it." I said "Good luck." He didn't read the instructions ahead of time so had to go to Home Depot for supplies before he'd even finished unpacking the new disposal!!! No, I didn't laugh at him, but did take the opportunity to inform him that when you tackle any home improvement project it's important to read the instructions well in advance so that you have the proper tools and supplies on hand. Could I have gone to Home Depot for him? Yup. Did I? Nope. He needed to learn a lesson. Could I get under the sink right now and probably figure out what's wrong and fix it? Yup. Will I? Nope. I'll tell you why. Because I've done every bit of the remodel on this house and I'm exhausted and because I told him replacing the disposal would hurt my neck and back, so I refused to do it and still do. He never hired a plumber or handyman to complete the project, so the disposal water drips into a dishpan. I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!! When the tub is snaked the disposal can me replaced as well. Most plumbers, believe it or not, charge between $300-$450 for both. It's pathetic. I called about 15 of them! My neighbor just informed me to call a handyman. As soon as I get off this contraption I have to get back on the phone and start calling them. <BR/><BR/>I'd hoped to spend the afternoon pruning roses because I'm weeks late and only have about 15 done and about 150 more to go. They should all be done by now, but at this rate I should have them all done by August. Wish me luck!<BR/><BR/>Good news. While pruning a very expensive climbing rose I bought at Capital Nursery last summer I discovered it has "root gall." Gall is fatal and the plant has to be destroyed. I called Capital Nursery in between plumber calls and explained my problem and asked it I could please bring it back for a credit or replacement. I was told "with a receipt." I informed him I didn't have a receipt because I never thought something I bought at Capital Nursery would go belly up (they're a very expensive nursery). He informed me they only have a 90 day guarantee, but I informed him I'd spend one hell of a lot of money on that rose bush and had only had it for about 6 months and was now going to have to put $35 in my trash bin (you can't put it in the compost pile or recyling bin). He said nothing. I waited. He said "Without tags and things like that, there's nothing we can do." I replied "Oh, it still has all the tags and it's in the original pot because it was too hot to plant!" I walked outside with the phone and read off all the tags, including the orange one with the name "Capital Nursery." Yup, "Bring it back at your convenience." Thank you. Thank you very much.<BR/><BR/>I also got the new kitchen faucet problem resolve today. Rob was supposed to call Peerless months ago and never did. We had a new kitchen faucet installed and from the moment it arrived it was a fiasco. Obviously defective. The kitchen consultant at Home Depot advised me to call the 800 number for Peerless because it has a lifetime guarantee. Months later, I made the call today. Peerless was fantastic, the new faucet will arrive in a few days. Unfortunately they can't replace the faucet with another or just give me a credit. I have to get the same faucet. I don't want it!!! I'M AFRAID!!! It cost almost as much to install as I paid for the damn thing!!! I don't want it. I told the young guy on the other end of the phone, "Honey, listen to me, I don't want it. I'd just like a credit so I can buy something more expensive and hopefully avoid this problem in the future. Do you know what I payed to have it installed?" "No, I'm sorry, I don't." "I payed almost the cost of the damn fixture, what if it goes belly up again?" His reply was golden, "Well, it has a lifetime guarantee." I said "You missed the point!!!" We both laughed really hard and he told me it was the policy and all he could do. I said "You know I'll never buy from Peerless again, don't you?" He replied "Yes."<BR/><BR/>Okay, so that's been my day so far. But I'm really proud. I got so much done. It's now after 4pm and I still have the dishwasher to load, the kitchen to organize, the laundry to do and God help me...at least one rose bush to prune. It's a gorgeous day here (70 degrees!!!), but here I sit trying to gain strength for what's about to come. Wish me luck!!!<BR/><BR/>Love to all. And if you got this far, you're a "Dear Friend!"<BR/><BR/>SuzySuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111045716713716292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62281500375499776.post-51048970506668693472009-02-02T19:12:00.000-05:002009-02-02T19:12:00.000-05:00NoYesYesNo... they are inherently perfectNoYesYesN...No<BR/>Yes<BR/>Yes<BR/>No... they are inherently perfect<BR/>No<BR/>Yes<BR/>Yes<BR/>No<BR/>No<BR/>Yes<BR/>No<BR/>No<BR/>Yes<BR/>Yesjust bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06686002034670653764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62281500375499776.post-23630908870152636002009-02-02T19:05:00.000-05:002009-02-02T19:05:00.000-05:00Great post, yes I have have have have have. and it...Great post, yes I have have have have have. and it beats always worrying or always whining, <BR/><BR/>always WoNdEriNgAvid Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11941594574518793056noreply@blogger.com
