True Story Tuesday - Could that be the reason I am not married anymore




Part 5


I started blogging in February 2009 and since I started
I have done 4 other of "could that be the reason I
am not married anymore". That statement started
innocently enough but grew into a standing joke
in the office. I would be so happy to post
the links to the other 4 post only for some
reason I have issues in being able to do that
with AT&T as my internet carrier. One day
I will try to figure out what that is all about .....

But alas, this is not about my issues with AT&T.....

My ex had a thing about his drill!
He drove a Gremlin that he bought from
my Dad. After a while he had some issues
with the muffler or the exhaust manafold working
loose. He would take it by K-mart and have it
tightened up every so often but at some point
they decided that they were afraid the bolt was
going to be stripped so they stopped doing it.
That meant my ex had to take things into his
own hands.....the drill.

One day I was getting something out of his
car and I noticed the floor mat in the back
was moved and showing a HANGER. What the
crap! Upon inspecting this I noticed that two
holes had been drilled in the floor, a hanger
hang out one hole, around the manafold and
by into the other hole, then twisted off.....

My problem with this, my baby rode back
there when the ex would pick her up...

I put my foot down and told him that she was
not to ride back there again, exhaust could
come up from under the car and move up
into the back seat!

The drill thing did not stop there....we lived
in a rental home and had window air units.
Each winter we took them out and stored them
in the garage and would reinstall them in the spring.
This one time I noticed that the water from the
air was spilling into the den. I knew that all that
was required was that the unit needed to be tilted
back just a bit so it would run outside, but I was
pregnant (BIG) and I could not mess with it.

In telling the ex what needed to be done, I go out
and sat on the swing. Here comes the ex with the
drill, and before I can say anything, he drills a hole
up into the air conditioner (his thoughts, a drainage
hole) but what happened, the unit started spitting freon
everywhere!

I was never more happier then the day the
drill died!....and could this be the reason
I am not married anymore?

Thanks for stopping in,
Pam

Hmmm... I suppose it could be a part of the reason, ESPECIALLY if the drill "died" under mysterious circumstances. Drills and hammers... they can do wonders, but they can also do a LOT of damage!

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Hot Water Heater Mishaps

Image
 As I stated the hot water heater sprung a leak, from the bottom.  My younger brother came to help  with the issue. Problem, the  value at the bottom where you screw in  the hose to drain the tank, was  all clogged up.  It sets so close to the bottom  that it is hard to slip a  bucket under to catch water if we were to get the clog undone. There was no moving it till water was drained off the tank. We opened the top value, and leaned it over to drain into buckets. I have a great big  plastic tub, like this one. We filled it by leaning the  hot water heater over. Finally got enough off to be able to slid onto the two wheeler  and move out of the garage. Once we had it there,  we lowered it to the ground and let it finish with the drain. Mark went to Lowes and got another one, installed it and  had me up and running. The damage had been done though. With the unit on the  other side of the BR, water came under the wall and flooded the BR,  and the carpet in the den.  Yes, the same two roo
