I gave this one a 'love it' as it is so flipping true.
This house is 101 years of age and the LL has owned it 40 years.
He's kept pretty good care of it in that time but, she's an old gal.
When repairs need addressing, he sends someone over.
Until April 1 tenant downstairs lived there for 16 years.
She was diagnosed early onset dementia about 3 yrs. ago.
Those who know her thinks it's been much longer but the
gal didn't want to go to the doc so, hard to tell.
As she diminished she may not have even noticed
if that toilet tank was leaking so wouldn't have called him.
Who knows how long it's been going on. It's pretty bad.
Toilet has to come out and probably the vanity too.
Sub floor/ baseboards/ toe kick all need replacing.
LL intended to do long over due repairs/ paint/ general upgrades/
updates etc. I don't think he was expecting the floor to be rotted though.
Thank goodness he takes care of this property and it will get repaired.
This with the toilet leak has hopefully also solved a long standing mystery.
I have been landscaping as a means to stop water from entering the basement.
For a rookie with no 'real' training, it's doing as planned... yay.
Except... there is a spot that has remained wet that may be coming across
from the back corner towards the drain.
WELL...
it happens to be right were the toilet was leaking today after I busted the line.
we shall see in due time.
I do hope that is what the water is from as that means my work at that back corner
has indeed been successful
I'm high and chatty (per usual) it seems haha.

Not currently any kind of animal keeper (unless there are rodents I am unaware of). I had two cats and two dogs at one time. I found I liked the cats, but after getting them declawed (this was some time ago mind) they seemed more distant, and began choosing corners to pee and defecate in rather than go outside like they did. Not good.
Have thought about getting a little something that would alert when there is an intruder, but yet to do so.
Not sure about cats again. Would not want to declaw (if they still even do that) them. More pondering time ..
This topic made me think of a now deceased friend, with a wonderful wit. and dry sense of humor, who stated:
WOMEN & CATS WILL DO AS THEY PLEASE, AND MEN & DOGS SHOULD GET USED TO THE IDEA.
A DOG ALWAYS OFFERS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. CATS HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT!!

Re: Medical care collapse --
Shoulda done it my way: My Witchie-poo had an upset stomach yesterday, so I told her to call Scotty and mention it. He got her all straight in no time. From 3000 miles away.
He's on a sixty-mile fargin hike on some trail in Oregon.

What an amazing picture... It seems to tell a story.
I used to stop in gas stations and ask for their old wheel weights. They were happy to get rid of them.
The hard-lead wheel weight mix was perfect for punkin balls, conicals, and .45's. Made thousands of them.
All done with Lee bullet molds.
The Fox looks to be trying to get out of Dodge..........................
We declawed our rescued cat once to save our remaining furniture and it too started ignoring the cat box and both peeing and defecating indiscriminately.

Merry Day of the Sun! All hail Sol Rex!
A gorgeous day predicted here starting at 44F and predicted to reach 67F.
After a Meloxicam, two extra strength Tylenol, the Jacuzzi, a heating pad, and an Oster Swedish Massage vibrator, my back is calmed down some from all my digging. OO raw!

We had a front load washer for about 5 or 6 years. Biggest piece of shit(aside from a 1996 Passat I once had) ever. The clothes frequently needed to be rewashed because they stunk. Had to replace the water pump probably 5 times(I got so I had an extra on hand and could swap it out in 10 minutes. We now have a top load washer and it actually cleans our clothes. Imagine that! I took apart the front load washer at one point and the caked on soap build up was an inch thick in some spots. We always used the ‘hi efficiency’ detergent. FYI-you don’t really save water if you need to wash the sane load of clothes twice. BTW-my old lawn mower(probably 20 years old) blew a hole in the engine a few days ago. The wife said we should just buy a new one. I reminded her how new stuff is junk and I bought another old mower for $70. Runs like a top.
