Having all of your basic needs satisfied and still waking up grumpy is a first world problem.

Wrestling with "where to put the couch" in a nice apartment is a FWP for sure.

can confirm doctors still use pagers. apparently they have a stronger signal than cell phones and are more reliable.

Hospitals also still have outdated policy's about cellphones effecting their equipment (like planes).

Lol. Also, the youtube Verizon commercial that came on better the vid was a serious version of the youtube. "I chose Verizon because, I couldn't stream vids, was tired of my friends phone being cooler than mine,etc."

if you have someplace to install it, you should consider an electic Point of Use water heater instead. It will only use power when demand requires it, instead of constantly recirculating which needs not only power to the pump, but also increases heating costs.

Pump power is like 15 watts. I'll do some sort of demand type control so it only delivers hot water when I want/need it.

One of our sprinkler system heads is broken. There's a small section of my yard that does not have luscious green grass right now...and the lawn care company can't get out here until Tuesday.

It sounds like you might just have to roll up your sleeves, drive your forklift out there, and fix this one yourself if you don't want an ugly dead spot in your yard for the rest of the year.

I'm expecting a nasty letter from our HOA any day now.
