Jane! What unwelcome news of your flooding! I'm very glad you had someone housesitting and they promptly took appropriate measures. Are the people upstairs your new neighbors?

Vibes for an uneventful rest of your trip and journey home.

In my several months of actually being on Facebook and participating to a certain degree, I seem to have figured out how to avoid most of the things that would annoy me the most. The one thing I can't get away from is stupid -- people who are just totally unfocused regardless of the topic of discussion. Too many are there to mindlessly gab, and actually have nothing of value to add to a conversation about a specific thing. Or they are interested and excited to contribute, but they're too lazy to read anything that's already been posted, so you'll see the same "answer" or "observation" being given over and over, with greater and lesser degrees of comprehension and accuracy. And the ease with which the digressions flow and get taken up by the sheep others is mind boggling.

I'm sure this all sounds very judgmental. I guess since I'm primarily there to take part in certain groups, for specific reasons, and not just to hear myself chatter, this is all the more obvious to me. And some groups are more disciplined than others. It's the ones that appeal to a broader audience that can be the most frustrating at times.

Yes, in groups that is the biggest annoyance - the people who see a post and respond without taking the time to read the other responses, which all say the same thing.  And the usual "Anyone remember" preface to places that anyone and their mother would remember.  And the wrong information over and over again.  And finally, the same subject - every week in the LA groups we get, "Anyone remember" and a picture of the kiddie show hosts of LA.  And the same people come in and post the same thing every time.

Next door are the new neighbors.   The upstair neighbors have a key to our place and have been handling the work through their ins company and the restoration company.  Work is going on in both of our places.

I had a wonderful lunch with Rob at the Brooklyn Diner.   We had a lot of gossip about my cats and his cute little puppy Hudson.  Secret Garden is waiting on a theatre, and the creative team and producers of Dave are making changes, hopeful of moving the show to Broadway.

Yces thank you.  I was able to save the link from here.  I think our upstairs neighbor needs a couple of these.

Why would the shower cause a leak? I could see a bath. But wouldn't the shower water just keep going down the drain?  It has never occurred to me to leave the bathroom with the shower running.

It is a bit mind boggling.  He must have left it on for a very long time.
