MsShad: Heh ... we have not been there for quite some time. At least 5+ years. Should be, interesting, with 2 5yr olds.

Shower: I had the same thing happen to me a few years back. The catch is getting a tool to remove the remnants of the threads out of the pipe; thus the plumber.

What was pointed out to me by my plumber was that kind of pipe breaking (barring the kidlets swinging from it for fun) may be high-acidic water. I have well-water, so that's not a surprise. You're closer to civilization, so it may not be an issue, but you may need to check that.

Charlie: We do not have water here ... it's liquid crap. I don't let the kids drink water that much out of the sink faucets, we have a filter in the kitchen and I have to change it every 3 months. When I do, I'm shocked at the amount of crud it has captured. Atrocious. I've already replaced 4 s-traps with rubber ones and the recent drain-snake adventure required some plumbing mods as well. All too much fun.

Charming photo. I love your little gardeners.

About the parking thing: Some people just don't get it. At the shopping malls here, there's a sign over the HP that says: 'Hoot if you're disabled'. Ha ha. Then they come and removed the chain for you. If they leave it open, then non-disabled people park there without a second thought.

Never mind your CHILDREN repeating your wise words! Can I borrow "I said no, that would be like putting lipstick on a pig."???? Geez...where DO you come up with this little gems?!?

Don't you think you should learn that you and any sort of water pipe in any form make a bad combination?

So, did you have to pad, naked save for the bubbles, into your kids' shower? Wish I'd been there! (Just confirming my image as a dirty old woman.)

Did you answer my question about what HP meant? I'll have to check back ... yes, you did. Now why does HP = handicap? We have those wheelchair symbols too. (And I parked in one yesterday but only for 2 minutes as I rushed into the doctor's to pick up a prescription! Sorry!)

Maggs: It's all for show. The minute they are not being monitored, they resume their work on the intelligence subversion ray. World conquest and all, don't you know.

As for the HP-Hostile woman ... I'll have my way yet. I will brook no insubordination!

Liz: Indeed ... I should replace all my exposed plumbing with flexi-hose. Certainly would make for a simpler life. And no ... I actually had a towel and did the rest from the sink. Mmmm, sponge bath, slowly passing over my rippling abs and brawny pectoral muscles to sop up the beads of glistening water. (Chuckle .. under an inch of blubber!)

Alas, you could have a 'blue card' no doubt if you ask for one. The whole MS Fatigue thing is nearly a guarantee on top of any nasty medication you get to imbibe in.

I once saw a healthy middle aged man in a sporty convertible zip into the one available handicap space at the grocery strip mall lot. He did the OJ leap out of his seat, not needing to mess with pesky doors, and in his sporty Polo tennis wear sprinted into the liquor store. I drove my age-ed land yacht (dad's old lincoln, don't laugh, it's paid for) and wedged into the blue striped accessable area of the spot leaving him no room to jump back into his drivers seat. When I returned from my shopping, he was standing there. I had no lipstick on me, but shrugged and told him that neither stupidity, or being a bonified jerk qualified for being disabled.

Oh, please, I've already having hot flushes!

Liz: Hot Flushes? Heh ... you do need a plumber!

Bubbie: I'm certain he was morally or ethically disabled.
