Good Monday Morning, everyone. I woke up to water on the floor.

[AirmensMom]

The klunker of a refrigerator with the first ice maker ever made (invented before the wheel) decided to pour water all over the kitchen floor. As far as I can tell, it didn't get to the basement. Joani and I were going to go on an adventure today ... but it looks like our adventure will be right here, at least until the fix-it man gets finished. x(

How's your morning going? :hi: :grouphug:

[billyskank]

1. ...

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

2. Thank you, billy.

:hug: It makes me more eager to get that house built ASAP. I hate this rental house, but I'm trying not to complain too much about it. *sniff*

[billyskank]

4. It'll be done in no time

you'll see. :hug:

:*

[AirmensMom]

7. I know.

They were actually working on Saturday when we went over! :bounce: There was HUGE crew of guys putting up concrete block. I bet they're back today! Maybe we'll go over there for a picnic after the fix-it man leaves.

:*: :hug: :D

[buddhamama]

3. Good Morning, Dear.

huh. ice makers. with any luck the hose is blocked or split and can be easily fixed.

my morning is going good, thanks.

you and Joani enjoy your adventurous day! :hi: :hug:

[AirmensMom]

9. Good morning, buddhamama!

My hope actually was that the refrigerator is past repair and the owners have to buy a new one. This thing is so old and disgusting that I swore I'd never eat anything that came out of it.

I'm glad your morning is good. I hope it continues in that direction! :bounce:

We will definitely enjoy the day. There is some hope of being able to go along with our plans if the refrigerator gets done as soon as promised.

:loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

5. At least it wasn't the cats

:hug:

I hope the fix-it man comes as very soon so you and Joani can go to your planned adventure.

[In_The_Wind]

8. Good morning MissHoneychurch!

How was your supper last night?

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Really really nice

we went to eat really good Chinese. And Lurking_Argyle is as sweet as one can be. :D

[In_The_Wind]

18. I thought you'd say something like that.

I've always gotten the impression that Lurking_Argyle is very special. ;)

[MissHoneychurch]

21. He is

too bad I promised to behave last night :rofl:

He was sorry to not have met with you.

[In_The_Wind]

30. I needed

my rest before I became a grouchy raging bitch. Most of my aches are gone this morning. I think the last time I woke up feeling this relaxed was back late in May of this year.

[MissHoneychurch]

32. It is good to hear that your are doing a lot better

I explained it to him and he understands.

And it gives me the chance to listen to as much hip hop as I want to without you going nutz over it :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

42. As I went down the stairs I noticed that I'm not back to full speed yet.

My knees and hips were complaining. I guess I really do need this rest. x(

I didn't mind listening to hip hop. You're lucky I didn't want equal time for country rock tunes.

[AirmensMom]

24. And the pictures are ...

WHERE? :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

33. In the camera

:D

Once I am back we might wanna go to another trip to the store to get them developed :hi:

Did you see the pic ContraBass Black posted of him and me? :blush:

[AirmensMom]

47. I'll go look for it.

:bounce:

Just got back from getting dressed and doing my chores ... still waiting for Mr. Fix-it.

[wildhorses]

46. Good Morning, Joani!!

:hi: :donut:did you sleep well last night?:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

51. Top of the morning to you, wildhorses.

I was dreaming nicely by 11:15 last night. I seem to be right at home in Tennessee. I feel like I've come full circle and back to my roots. Now if I can talk both the men in my life into relocating it would be a wonderful thing.

Did you work last night?

[AirmensMom]

11. MissHC!

:bounce: :hi: :loveya: :hug: :*

Good to see you this morning!

Yeah, it would have been a HUGE puke if it had been the cats. It went all the way over to the buffet and got all our briefcases wet on the bottom. x(

If we can't go on our adventure, we'll just relax at home. Joani doesn't seem to mind that idea at all. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Take your time

you, not the fix-it guy.

And even if your adventure only takes you to the gazebo ... well, you know by now that you actually can have freat adventures there. You never know what fairy shows up next :D

[AirmensMom]

23. I'm sure the adventure will take us to the gazebo.

:bounce: We want to go back and see if the whole gang is working again. They have some catching up to do after last week's rain, after all. :bounce: :woohoo:

I don't know that we need any more fairies ... unless the original one wants to come back and finish up that last little spot that he missed. :rofl:

What will your adventure be today? Is this Clintmax and Greekspeak day? :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

37. Yes it is

:bounce: :woohoo:

And you know what?? He is OFF today, so I better get my ass moving so I can spend as much time with him as possible and make all the DUers jealous :D

[wildhorses]

45. good morning MissHoneychurch

:hi::donut: glad to hear you had a good time last night.

[In_The_Wind]

6. You haven't lost your sense of humor.

I haven't heard any bad words this morning.

BTW You still managed to make a kick-ass cuppa coffee in between doing the laundry, feeding the cats and calling the rental agent.

[AirmensMom]

13. You haven't?

You didn't hear me say, "SHIT, DAMN, FUCK THIS STUPID REFRIGERATOR FROM HELL!!!!" ???? :shrug:

I'm an expert multi-tasker. Of course, sometimes I slip a gear and do something dumb while I'm trying to do it all at once ... like forget to turn the coffee maker to "2 cups" when I've put 2 cups of water in. That'll make a mess every time. :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

25. I guess I had my hearing aides in but not turned up at that moment.

Or maybe my brain just filters out the things I don't want to hear.... like expletives outta your sweet mouth. Yes, Moms do swear. I know that.

[Callalily]

10. Awww AirmensMom

What a way to start the week. Well, think of it as a bonus to your rental . . . wading pool in the kitchen! Hope your fridge gets fixed quickly and cheaply so that you and Joani can be off.

And please pass around >>>> to all!

:hi: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Hello Simply

:hi:

Can you believe it? I will be seeing Clint in some hours? Ain't I a lucky bitch :D

:hug:

[Callalily]

19. Yes, indeed you are!

Be sure to tell him that we all miss him, but understand his break from DU.

[AirmensMom]

26. Lucky, yes.

Bitch, no.

:hug: :loveya: :*

I MISS YOU, MISSHC! :cry: But I'm glad you're having such a good time! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

38. I miss you too

:hug: :loveya:

And I really mean what I wrote you in the pm.

[AirmensMom]

20. I guess I could think of it that way.

And I was doing OK until harleydad called from FL and wanted to know if the water had gone down in the basement and dripped on our new family room furniture. x( So far, it hasn't. But I'm a little nervous about it. It still could be between the floors waiting to bring the basement ceiling down. :scared:

It won't cost us a dime to fix the fridge since we're in a rental. I was hoping it was something terminal and they'd have to put in a new one that actually works the way a fridge SHOULD work. (This one freezes everything in the back and lets everything in the front spoil. There ain't much room in the middle. x( )

There's just Joani and me here now. But I'll be sure and pass a :hug: to her!

We STILL wish you could have been here! And you would have been able to get into THIS picture, too! (NO worries ... there ain't a butt to be seen in this one. :blush: )

[Callalily]

29. That's a great pic . . .

Thanks for sharing it. You all look so happy!

Hope the water doesn't get into your basement. That would be such a mess. Do you have any plastic to throw over your stuff . . . just in case?

I hate those life emergencies. I thought my car was fixed, but yesterday on the way to the theater, my thermostat kept jumping around. I stopped the car and wonderful vivid green fluid was dripping out of my brand new radiator. So I just quickly drove home. Got a ride into work b/c I've got a meeting that I can't miss, but must call my mechanic. I hope it's nothing too serious. :cry:

[AirmensMom]

35. Thank you, SF!

:hug: We were VERY happy! Next time, we hope you'll be in it, too. :loveya:

The basement is full of boxes and furniture. I don't know how I could possibly cover it all. But I'm keeping an eye on the ceiling and don't see any new wet spots (they have obviously had water leaks in this house before.) Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Oh, no! This is your $600 fix? That is downright scary! :scared: I hope it gets fixed and isn't too serious! Harleydad would know what's wrong ... but he's not here to ask. :cry: Here's an extra hug for you. I wish I could buy you a new car. :hug: :hug:

[Callalily]

41. Yes . . . these are the

times that I wish I'd have someone to lean on . . . oh well!

I must get some work done now. Chat with you later. Oh, and wishing you and Joani loads of fun!

[AirmensMom]

50. Have a lovely day, SF.

:hug: I hope your car gets fixed and stops giving you trouble. :hug:

[miss_american_pie]

15. Maybe the fix-it guy will be cute

Sorry about the mess. :hi:

[billyskank]

17. Hi pie!

:hi:

[miss_american_pie]

22. Good day billyskank

How are you? :hi:

[billyskank]

40. I am okay thanks

How are you? :hug:

[AirmensMom]

27. He's not.

I've seen him already. He's not entirely un-cute. But nothing to write home about. Harleydad is definitely cuter ... especially in the pics we had taken last week! :wow:

How are you today, miss_american_pie? :hi:

[miss_american_pie]

28. I was looking for a silver lining

Sorry about that. :D

I'm okay. Thanks. Big plans for today?

[AirmensMom]

31. Oh, yes, that ...

No apology needed. And don't worry, we'll find a cute fix-it guy somewhere. :rofl: It wasn't too bad after the initial shock. The property manager has a cell phone and she actually answered it when I called at 7:00AM. My biggest worry was whether I could get her to act quickly, and she has done that.

Glad you're OK. Why aren't you magnificent? (Do you need some of this fabulous coffee? :donut:)

Big plans WERE to drive to Knoxville to look at a house that has the bricks and stone that we're thinking of using. We still might do that if the other stuff gets taken care of quickly enough. Otherwise, we'll have a quiet day, maybe buy some groceries and check out the property to see if there's any action happening on the house. I live an extremely dull life, so that's as good as it gets. :D

[miss_american_pie]

34. Dull life?

My big plans are to run out to the store for a loaf of bread. :woohoo: :D

Coffee sounds like a good idea. I should go make a pot. :hi:

[AirmensMom]

36. That would be a big plan for me.

But my plans get more exciting when someone's here to do things with. I would NEVER drive to Knoxville on my own. :D

Have some coffee! :donut: I hope it turns out to be a great pot of it. :hi:

[AirmensMom]

39. Gotta get dressed before the fix-it man gets here.

He ain't cute enough to see me in my PJs. I'll be back later ...

Thanks for coming over and saying, "Awwwww ..." :blush:

:hi: :loveya: :grouphug:

[NewWaveChick1981]

43. That sucks! I hope you get it fixed soon.

:hug: I hate it when stuff like that happens, especially when you have other plans.

[AirmensMom]

48. Thanks, NewWaveChick1981.

I just rushed to get showered and dressed in time. The property manager said he'd be here in 1 1/2 hours ... at 7:40AM. And he's where? :shrug: Not here yet!

The later it gets, the less likely we'll be to do the plans. x(

Oh, he's here now! :bounce:

[wildhorses]

44. oh....AM that is too bad!! what a yucky way to start the day...

I am just now drinking my first cuppa :donut: and thanks about the Shorty tip, gas was only $2.39 :wow: It is still about $2.57 in my neck of the woods x(

:hi::grouphug:

[AirmensMom]

49. Thanks, wildhorses.

The guy's here now ... and he can't find where it leaked. He's not leaving until he gets it figured out, though.

$2.39? :wow: I bet it's even cheaper in Johnson City -- we tend to be a few cents more expensive here. Oh, and you're welcome. :hug: :grouphug:
