Nothing to apologize for. We've all posted stuff before that was ignored, and it's not a good feeling. We want people to value our contributions.

So do you have lab results back from the other day? How are you doing? If you're in a better mood, hopefully that means everything is good.

My basic lab tests were all good - bone marrow, liver, and kidneys all functioning normally, hooray! And no suspicious elevation of calcium, double hooray! I'm waiting to hear about my C15-3 cancer marker, and if they saw anything on 3D ultrasound that merits a closer look they'll call me this week. But I'm feeling good and expect it to be no news is good news.

I've reached the point where I rarely worry. The day before an appointment or test, though, in spite of knowing I'm doing fine, it's still tough.

I wondered about that, too. Is the cat in pain from having ingested sparrows?

Trying to drive nails, with no depth perception. Wonder my thumb doesn't look like 3foots.
Also trying to cut my candy into squares.

My total septic system failure, which causes all sewage for my house to drain into the back yard, has frozen solid in the 10F overnight temperatures and now all sewage for my house drains into my basement... again

I'm sorry UT.

That puts minor gripes into perspective. I know you're trying to be the model reasonable tenant, but when does it become untenable? The landlord is supposed to provide some value for what you are paying. Functioning plumbing is probably written into law, even in Pennsylvania.

Well the landlord is now on the case, and has a call in to the owner to see how they want to deal with this. They will probably have to dig the whole thing up, but I imagine they will at least want to wait until it's thawed.



The landlord thanked me for being "down to earth" about it, so there's my reward.

I was just trying to be silly...

I hope your trials and tribulations don't last long.
