I am glad everyone in the show has the goods.
My ignorance is showing, I know, what are "plunks"?

So... bringing the peeps up to date... we were able to have the errant terlet repaired, not replaced. A Real Deal plumber said the new tank innards were fine but the seating of the tank on the terlet itself was faulty. He replaced the gasket and hardware for that, and all is well. Big sigh of relief. Well, a big sigh of relief for THAT adventure, because:
On the very day the terlet was being fixed, our washer shat the bed. It's a 13-year-old front loader, and we noticed little bits of water coming from underneath it. And then a little more water. And that's one thing you never want to notice. Right? Especially when the machines are in a laundry room on the second floor with the bedrooms. That was a deliberate decision on my part when the house was being built, and I've never regretted it. No two-story trips to the basement, etc. Fortunately, that room sits over the garage, not an indoor room, because enough water seeped through to cause a light stain on the garage ceiling. No matter, that can be patched later. BUT --- the laundry room floor must be re-tiled, AND the carpet in my closet on the other side of the wall must be replaced because some water also crept underneath the baseboard into that room.
These two re-floorings will take place on Thursday, and the temporary removal of everything in those two small rooms is quite the challenge. And of course there's the small matter of replacing the washer. That part's been taken care of, and a new TOP-loader will be delivered either on Friday or sometime next week. Enough people convinced us that front loaders are sufficiently prone to eventual failure after ten years, that we're going back to the older method this time around. It doesn't matter in the least that the two machines won't "match".
What with the tree removal, the well pump, the terlet, the washer, and the laundry room and closet floors, it's not a great time around here financially, never mind the stress factor itself. It's time for a breather, and I hope the coming months will be kinder and gentler.
I did not know that about front loading washers. I've just never liked the design or wanted one.
I did not know that about front loading washers. I've just never liked the design or wanted one.
When I was replacing the machines in 2013, I was convinced that front loaders were the way to go, for efficiency and for the heavier loads such as comforters they can easily handle. Those things are indeed true, but they also come with a higher price and with that shorter life expectancy for whatever reason. They also come with rubber door gaskets that are prone to mold if you don't wipe them down after use and if you don't leave the door open the rest of the time to keep it aired out. So, the glamorous front-loading life was nice while we had it, but we're ready to go back.
I ushered for a one-hour student performance of Black Violin. The kids really loved it. I was supposed to usher for their full performance tonight but cancelled because I have to be at work way too early tomorrow. Glad I did. While I appreciated their skill and professionalism, I had had enough after an hour.
Diane Ladd passed away today :(
She would have been 90 on November 29th.
I just did my second injection and it didn't hurt this time :) I think last time, not knowing how hard I needed to push it in, I pushed way too hard. I also let it warm up out of the fridge longer this time.

I had fun working behind the scenes with Diane Ladd in 2011, when she was doing a reading of the musical LAST OF THE BAD GIRLS, at the Actors Studio, a show which she co-wrote with Harriet Schock. Connie Stevens was co-starring in the reading with Diane.
We stayed in touch for a while after the reading, in part because a producer I'd invited to the reading had started being actively interested in helping Diane and Harriet develop the musical.

Great that the injection was easier this time!
Well, it's official: I have a cold. :P I felt something coming on over the last couple of days.
I woke up with a bit of a sore throat yesterday, but fortunately, I was able to get through yesterday's matinee without any trouble. Today, it's definitely a sore throat and congestion and achey.
On my way home last night, I bought a 2-pack Covid test and it was negative. WHEW! I'll check again tomorrow just to be sure.
At least, the show is over and I don't have to deal with that midway during a run!

That's too bad about your washer, ChasSmith. Not to brag, but I bought my top-loader washer and dryer 19 years ago (last month!) and they're still going strong. :D
PAGE THREE WASHER AND DRYER DANCE!!
Good news DR JANE.
The first subs I had as a youngster would have been at home, because there was a place nearby that had fresh Italian bread every day, and that's what we usually used for sandwiches of all and any sort.
These days, I really enjoy Jersey Mike's. When I worked across the street from a Subway in the 2010s, that particular Subway was really well-kept and made a really good sandwich.
Keith got Wordle in four.
TOD Part 2: My first sub was at some long-gone place on Woodward in Royal Oak called "Super Sub Shops." I didn't remember the name, but Google was my friend here.
Keith got Wordle in four.
Congrats to Keith!
If it's not pushing the definition of "sub" - I'm very fond of the sub-shaped BK (Burger King) Original Chicken sandwich, especially when it's hot and fresh.

I think Subway was the first sub I had. The last time I ate at Subway, which will be the last time I eat at Subway, I got so violently ill off an Eyetalian.

Oh dear the end may be near.
I had to use the pliers to turn on the dishwasher.
Tuna sandwiches were good and filling.
I would never allow relish or pickles in my tuna.

I never order tuna out. I make it my way and it's the only way I like it.
This was heavy pill day - the usual three pills throughout the day, the usual other two once a day pills, and then the eight tiny pills.

Happy to read good things about Diane Ladd from DR JOHN G....because I only know her from her insipid and annoying film performances.
