The pending GM/Chrylser merger. It spells disaster for us. I havent lived with this kind of anxiety for decades.

I have had enough of this fecking eczema flareup. I've been playing the denial game and not actually dealing with it properly (ie doctors appointment) for months, trying to keep it at bay with various creams and potions.
My feet and ankles have swollen up. I can't walk properly, had to leave my baseball boot laces undone. Don't know if there's an infection, or water retention, or just that I've damaged the area so much that the soft tissues have swollen up. I'm going for a lie down. @ Pico, that's horrible. Must be such an insecure feeling. |

Yeah, and mostly because everything is so uncertain right now. There is no telling whats going to happen...but if the merger goes through I'm pretty sure the factories here will be axed. This town would then die...losing 6000 jobs is quite a hit. I'm not sure what we will do. I'm currently only working a part-time. I will find out if they have a full-time position available. If not I'm going to have to start looking around.
Dana, get yourself to a doctor! But, hey, I know what its like to procrastinate getting medical attention. I feel like such a jerk once I get it taken care of, but I don't seem to learn either. |

Pico, Dana's condition is chronic, so she's probably putting it off because she knows there's no magic wand.
I agree with your advice though. Off you go girl! And sorry to hear it's so very bad at the moment. Sounds rotten. I'm still limping and feeling miserable about not being able to enjoy walking in the autumn. But I can tell it is getting better. It's just so slowly, so slowly...

my rental house has developed a slab leak. The hot water pipe that runs beneath the foundation slab (all one piece of concrete) has burst. That means they have to jackhammer up the floor in the center of the house (happens to be under the kitchen cabinets), replace the piping and then pour new concrete, then redo all of the ruined flooring.
Not a good day.

Burst pipes here are not uncommon (the cold weather can cause them to freeze if you aren't careful). Any idea what the cause was?

hot water. of course, now it is heating the floors from beneath so I suppose that's convenient. it is dipping below 80 at night now.

Holy cow. That's a lot of work. I assume you have tenants currently living there. Do you have to relocate the tenants for the duration of work, or can they work around the tenants' schedules?

fortunately, or unfortunately, my tenants recently decided to become lazy assholes and quit paying their rent, so they only had another week to move out anyway. As it stands I told them to vacate as of tonight and I would return their rent prorata. of course, 7 days rent subtracted from the zero they paid me is...

Urgh, L123 -- We're in the process of buying a house right now, and it's partially on a slab... One more thing to look into.

An old apartment, which was actually renovated from the servant's quarters of a giant old huge mansion in town, was on a slab. It was horrible when it broke (the pipes froze and burst.) We were renting, and didn't have to pay, but it's no small job! It took some time and a lot of tearing up to fix it.
