that will even work with the newer valves with plastic stems? I think the soft plastic gets scratched on internal mineral deposits when you turn it off, and then when you turn it back on, it gives you a little leak.

It looks pretty much like this:

No one has mentioned plumbers tape. You need to put some kind of silicone tape on all new connections. Will at least prevent leaks around the threads but it doesn't sound like the kind of leak you have.

Just in case anyone was wondering, plumbers tape does NOT work well on a propane leak.

i don't know where else to put this. my ex-roommate from back in the day came over last night. with a vid i had sent him last year. this vid is important. disturbing. true. it is my ex girlfriend who lied to the police and i wound up going to prison. this vid is of her breaking into NBN's house after i was already incarcerated. she threatens to send him to prison in this vid. i don't know what to do with it.

what exactly is she threatening to send him to prison for? And/or is it true?

basically here's what happened. i was locked up. she wanted into NBN's house. he didn't want her there. she broke in. he shot her in the arm. (lousy shot). anyway he's screaming for help even before she broke in. then when the cops did come they arrested nbn. after watching said video twice they then let him go. did she get arrested? no.

Well then it has no legal purpose other than being some mighty fine drama

I would rule that shit out of my life immediately, and banish it to another location.

I'm alternating between freezing and HOT FLASHES.

I get to go thru menopause twice!

One time with chemo and now for reals.

I can hear Mum on the phone again, teloling the story of the Epic Fall.
It always starts with the story of Grandad's broken lamp, as this is integral to painting Mum as a victim as opposed to just clumsy.

The story will go up to and include the fact she had no help from any of us (lie).

Funnily enough, it doesn't end with her shit-fit over Christmas.
It ends with a description of how she feels now - and possibly a suggestion that she is still getting no help (lie).

I got shouted at the other day.
Mum had gone to Grandad's and then to Tesco.
A friend of hers called, and that's what I passed on.
Why was I shouted at? "What did you tell her that for? I spent half an hour telling X yesterday I was still laid up! She's bound to have told Y! Now she'll wonder what I'm doing going to Tesco - you should have just said I was out, you're as bad as your father, he always gets it wrong as well!"

I calmly called back, "If you didn't lie to people you wouldn't have to worry about what we said on the phone."

Serves her right.
Roll on tomorrow when I get to leave for a couple of days.
Even though I know it means she will clean my bedroom for me - translate, poke about and then tell me grim-lipped about how filthy it was.
