Today I painted the basement hallway which includes 5 doors and the ceiling.  It looks great. 

Then I decided to change the flange behind the handle in the shower because it seemed rusty...I couldn't figure out why.  I went to 7 stores to find the right one and when I tried to take the handle off I discovered it's rusted on or something.   Then I realized that it's leaking from the handle and I could hear a drip but not see one.  It occurred to me that it must be leaking in the wall.  YIKES!!!!

So I have turned off the water to the house (there isn't an independent shut off for the shower) and left a message for the plumber to call me first thing in the morning.   The biggest problem is that the only way to get to the pipes will be to tear out the ceramic tile.  I think the wall on the other side is cement.   So if it has been leaking in the wall, it may be going to the drain.  I can hear it but I couldn't find any damage.

So I would appreciate any vibes.  I'm going to do without water tonight rather than pay the emergency rates.  I knew that I may have problems with the shower at some point, I really don't want to have to pay to have it totally redone, but I can't have leaking water, so I'm hoping for the best.

DR Jose, the cheesecake story made me laugh.

Thanks for the photo of the liver.  Just the other day Bryan was discussing the difference between a normal sized liver and the oversized one on the cadaver he is studying.


You people make the most scintillating dinner conversationalists!  ;)


It was undoubtedly the before- and after-dinner drinkie-poos that led to DR Jane's DS Bryan's cadavers' oversized liver.

I'll bet DR Jane can't wait until he starts working on the intestines...!

Miss Allison Hayes attended many birthday parties at the Sportsmen's Lodge as the date of Mr Sy Devore...

I wonder if he was any relation to Shirley....who lived in Manhattan on 5 Riverside Drive in apartment 29 E?

It is indeed the Bell Ringing season DR Ron.

Have a safe journey home.

My 2009 Calendar "On Broadway" will no doubt be much admired. It replaces a wonderful "Movie Posters" calendar in a few days.

I hope the coming months are more than kind to DR Vixmom and the Family Vix. Likewise the the Sister of DR DearReader Laura and her kin.

Good luck with the plumbing thing, Cillaliz. I hope there's no water leaking inside the wall that will cause damage.

Thanks DR Laura.  I am just glad that I haven't had a flood from a broken or leaking pipe.  My parents just went through that and it was a nightmare.  I've decided not to stress about it. There isn't anything i can do about it, so I'll just take it as it comes.  I have just started working on that bathroom and plan to wall paper and paint. If I have to do more, well I'll have to do more,.

It was at the Sportman's Lodge I first knew I wanted to be a vegetarian, long before I ever heard the word vegetarian.   That was when they kept the pond stocked for fishing.  My father took me and we had a great time catching fish, until we went into the kitchen to watch them cut the heads off.  My fish was still alive & I begged them not to do it.  I wanted to put it back in the pond. 

Maybe the new owners can open a restaurant just for you "The Tofu Palace".

Is there a pattern in my Christmas gifts:  Babes in Toyland - Mother Goose!

Of course I am more comfortable living in my childhood (and indeed a very appreciative recipient)

We watched "Sleepy hollow" last night.  Our first ever viewing!  (Of course we used the Austrian subtitles).  What a wonderful "balanced"and paced film.   "Sweeney Todd" of course was near perfection IMHO.
