My moccasins are gone! :o(

18 years ago

Wear them to the locker room, every day, to go swim. Leave them under the bench, right by my locker.

Then put on flip flips to wear to and from pool.

Got dressed, ready to put moccasins, and NOT THERE!

Not at the front desk, either! or in another locker!

wahhhhh!

Sorry to hear that Glenda, seems like some people just cannot resist stealing from another. You like to think that the ones around you can be trusted don't you?

Bummer! I have no tolerance for dishonesty. That would have really ticked me off!

Kerdi gone wrong - or perhaps my Schluter is slipping!
Q
Comments (9)
A couple of issues have already been addressed. If the subfloor was inadequate, it should have been beefed up prior to setting the Kerdi base. Other than that, it's pretty much installer error. The Kerdi system is pretty much bullet-proof if you follow the instructions. If the base is flexing, it's due to an inadequate subfloor, an improperly set base (no thinset, wrong thinset), if the membrane isn't adhering to the sloped top of the tray again it's installer error (wrong thinset, operator error, etc). Do you know what specific adhesive they used to adhere the membrane to the base, and what specific adhesive they used to adhere the tile to the membrane? Mastic? Thinset? Premixed or powdered? Modified or non-modified? Brand name? I highly recommend calling Schluter's tech line. They're very helpful and if it's a Schluter problem, they're quite willing to fall on the sword and accept responsibility. Even when it's installer error they help out. Mongo

My sweet boy is gone.....

Linda, your grief is vast right now, as is normal when a loved one passes. I won't say the pain will end, but I will say that bearing it becomes easier and the tears fall less often. It's been 3 years since our precious Pinky passed and while I do cry at times for missing her, it's been 30 years since I lost my love Fanny and I still miss her but the tears are infrequent. Our lab boxer mix Pinky and my doberman Fanny and our dear sweet cocker Buffy will all help take care of Mojo. I thought of you all many times yesterday. I'm glad the day was such a good one. Beer and ice cream and the soft grass. He was a beautiful boy.

My 16 year old cat is gone
Q
Comments (15)
I'm so sorry for your loss. Sixteen is a good long life for a cat. Out of many, all given the same loving care, I have only had three that lived longer than sixteen, and most died quite a bit younger. It's not much comfort, but it is some, to think about what a long and happy life our pets have had. I also try to be grateful that I outlived my pet and so was able to ensure a happy life for him/her right up to the end. Nevertheless, I can't help crying when I read a message about the passing of anyone's beloved pet. Both cats in the picture look just beautiful!

My cat is gone!
Q

I found the owner. I had to do a search of Craigslist, but I found a phone number and called. She was understandably thrilled that her cat was found, especially after all this time. Her daughter is going to come down tomorrow evening to confirm that this is the right cat and take him home. His name is VooDoo, btw. Much better than what I was calling him, "Spot." He and his sister were bottle-fed rescue kittens. Her former daughter-in-law's friend/brother or someone was supposed to be looking after them. He just callously opened the door and let them out. On purpose! They found the girl, but the little boy cat was never seen again, until he showed up in my trap this week. I turned on the light and went out tonight to pick up the trap, and there fleeing off my porch was ANOTHER cat. A shorthair grey. Him, I've seen before, though. Or her. And I know the people who own him. I don't agree with the decision to let him go outside, but it's not my call. And he seems to take care of himself all right. My back porch is becoming Feline Central. The trap was sprung, btw, but no cat inside. It is wonderful to see Piper lounging on the rug, safe and warm. He's been very affectionate since he came back inside.

Hopefully someone just grabbed them up in a hurry and they show up at the desk in a day or two.

Do they have bulletin board maybe that you could report them as 'lost'?

Yep, I'd let it be known, then someone might spy them and turn the culprit in.

Glenda, that's pretty low of someone to steal your shoes. That's a very personal piece of clothing IMO. Hopefully it turns out to be an honest mistake and your mocs get back to you pronto!

Is the base of the lockers open, and maybe they got kicked under the locker?

Aww, Glenda - that bites!
Do you think it is possible that someone could have absent mindedly picked them up by mistake?
I hope they turn up.

Glenda, I sure hope they were somehow mistakenly taken and will be returned. That's a real bummer.

Maybe they took the Indian Proverb to far:

You never know someone until you've walked a mile in their moccasins.

Maybe they'll come back.

Sorry this happened Glenda, but maybe you can get them back that way?

That would work, but my printer is dead!

Before class ended, there were young gals coming in to pool area for swimming classes. And they dressed in the locker room.

Desk says to check back tomorrow.

Thanks, Moni!
