How much stupider could california be. Jay walking will now be legal in california.

But accidentally hitting one of them jaywalkers will cost you big time.

Robert is insisting we use glue on the plumbing and Kevin is insisting we dont. He said there is a putty that can be used if needed. He will come tomorrow at 6pm to try and fix it. This is getting old let me tell you. I need my sink back.

Have you looked on YouTube? They usually have good advice. Check a few different ones, though

Putty won't work for plastic pipe, Granny. Not if it's not threaded pipe. It needs to be painted with primer and then pvc glue used on it. We always use plumbers tape with threaded non pvc pipe or with threaded metal pipe.

They have a new thing out called alligator pipe fittings. No glue needed on them. They are pricy but we saw our plumber back in IL use them. Easy peasy and no leaks. When we replumbed our shower and installed an on demand hot water tank for it we used them. never had a leak.

Well, took the tree down today. Decided that next year no big tree. It's too hard to lug that thing up and down the stairs to the attic which is really an unfinished upstairs room that we use for storage. DH suggested two small trees and set them on the TV speakers where we can enjoy them. I have the trees so I'll make it so next year.

Two roosters with frost bite. One will lose a couple points and the other will lose half his comb. Big dummy. I can tell he didn't have his head under his wing deep enough. The shed has enough air leaks that I'm not worried about ventilation and the fact that none of the other bachelors with big floppy combs have damage tell me the whole story. The two points the other rooster has damaged looks like he had his head under his wing but not far enough. I'm glad we are coming out of this rough spell. I'm tired of hauling hot water out to the coop 4 times a day with the wind so strong it hurts and makes my eyes water.

Thank you MC, I really need my sink back. Its a pita trying to use the bathroom sink. Its just too small.
Sorry about your roos. and I think 2 small trees will be perfect. I wanted to do that on each side of the fireplace but no one sits in there anymore

Something's wrong with my ManChild, I think he is broken! He has been snacking on carrots and celery, and tonight when I served a frittata made with potatoes and onions and broccoli ... he ATE it!!! And then ... he had a second serving, and then a THIRD! And now he is in the spare room working out on the BowFlex! I just don't know who he is any more!

So sorry, MC! We had a BJG that lost half his comb and at least half his wattles in a severe winter a couple of years ago. I felt so bad bc it was really our fault, my fault. I'd built one of those no-waste feeders out of a 5-gal plastic bucket and 4" PVC ells. His comb and wattles were just too big. When he put his head in to eat, with snow on his head, he was damaging his comb and it just couldn't take it. And his wattles were so bi ... when he drank from the bucket, they'd get wet, and then freeze. He really suffered. We fed him from a flat pan because he got so he couldn't eat, his wattles were so sore, poor guy. We lost him that spring to a coyote, we believe, trying to protect the girls. Such a sweetie.
