'It’s always something…' and you sound so good through it all. That's not only because we missed you, TC; it's your writing that makes us laugh; make 'good trouble' and try to curse as convincingly as you do. _ _ _ _ _ _ _!

That's actually a laugh and a chuckle and a big smile, but substack doesnt hve the emojis for all that. Thanks Fern!

TC, I hope it goes more smoothly than I think you are expecting, and I especially hope that it doesn't put a significant dent in your finances.

We'll all miss you, but I'm sure we all have empathy for your situation. IF I lived nearby, I'd bring you coffee, and tell you stories to make you laugh, or do whatever helped you get through it all.

Fortunately the landlady is covering it since the plumber (who she knows and trusts) told her it was long-term neglect (i.e., her fault).

Very glad to hear that!

I guess I wrote what I just wrote because I hadn't read a few messages down. you're very fortunate if it's not coming out of your pocket.

and on top of that, a REALLY reliable plumber...plumbing problems will be fixed. period.

I know about those old washing machines. I've had the same "illegal" one for as long as I've been here ( a few timers and something replaced) and the washing machine repair guy says to never get rid of it. he well might have said it was "built like a tank."

My washing machine is probably at least 30 years old, and might be a lot older than that.
