OT Venting Plant theives in the night
Comments (88)I have been watching this post and am just disgusted! Ron, I hope you not only frighten them, but find out who they are so they don't go down to your neighbor and steel from them. This person-or people are taking far to much from your yard to be just one 'gardener' it has to be someone who needs many plants, and they can not be just doing it to you. In otherwords, someone is selling your plants and whoever it is needs to be outed to your area. This is wrong and they need to be punished, not just frightened off. I feel so bad for you-I had this happen to me twice-but I caught them and it was teenagers getting the 'newbie' in the neighborhood. The police were called and took care of it after that :o) They don't do it to anyone anymore I am guessing. LOL ~Robbi...See MoreOT Vent
Comments (10)Reading these experiences, now I don't feel like such a chump about my boiler guy. He was not licensed to fix boilers, but he was recommended by a friend and certainly was experienced at fixing them. Thing is, he would never show up when he was supposed to, and then it would turn out he was fixing a boiler at an apartment building or a factory, i.e., where he would be paid a lot more. He had been paid the previous year to clean out the boiler but turns out he actually hadn't touched it, and it was so clogged that the boiler spyhole glowed red hot from the heat having nowhere to go. Lazy jerk could have killed me. And I had no heat when it was 30F out, but he didn't think that was a big deal and said he would be back "first thing Monday" (this was Thursday!) to clean the boiler the way he was supposed to. When he blew me off Monday, I told him I wasn't going to pay him anything for what he had done so far (leave the boiler in parts and put the wrong fuel nozzle on) and if he didn't like it, he could take me to court. I got someone who was actually licensed to work on boilers. He did a good job and on time and he had plenty to say about the work that had been (not) done on the boiler. Lesson I learned - pay the money to get a professional who not only knows what he is doing but conducts himself in a business-like manner....See MoreSlightly OT: Cleaning vent hood question

Comments (66)Flevy, I am the b*tch too. How dare you make my child learn? Usually they change their minds after they start the next grade. They realize that they learned a lot from me. One girl said to me this year that this year was the first year she has retained anything. Sept actually said in staff meeting to only teach math and reading...nothing else. I told school board press in Dec that I was leaving in may. This was my first year there since we moved south. I also told supt that I refused to only teach math and reading. So I am not a team player. My fifth graders had five tests. Flevy,, I have been saying it for years. We are not always sending our brightest students to college. Some get grants to go and put little effort out. Why should they? They aren't paying for it. That is a beautiful kitchen. Love the cool green tile, window light fixtures, and glass doors. What is the cabinet on the left with the mixer on it? Unusual base cabinet....See Morecarolyn_ky
