  1. My wife is only one of the 4 but they are all someone's wife. They are sitting in the hot tub enjoying the full moon. All 4 are talking at the same time, for long stretches of time. Loudly. They seem to be following the conversation, but I swear to The Orange Bull there is no way to understand 4 simultaneous strains of conversation. I think one is talking about cats. Another seems to be talking about curtains. They amaze and befuddle me. To answer the obvious question, I am old, very old and have no desire to be in the hot tub with them.
  2. Scans initially read by the radiologist at the facility where the MRI was performed. One is a facility closely associated with my family. I am a proponent of western medicine, but this experience has shaken me for life.
  3. I'll try to shorten this. Mi esposa has something wrong. Saw numerous doctors in home town. Several diagnoses with treatment, but no improvement. During this she had 3 MRI's at 3 different places. All 3 interpreted as "normal". Got referral to MDA. Surgeon puts the MRI into his computer. Looks at it for about 30 seconds. Motions us to slide our chairs over to where we can see. "There it is right there". Points to obvious spot on the MRI that three other doctors had interpreted as normal.
  4. Repairing a sprinkler head in rocky soil.
  5. I guess y'all too young to remember '81 https://ahc.access.preservica.com/uncategorized/SO_add915e7-dc13-4efa-866c-62ef685249f7/
  6. My house is Austin stone with Tyvek under. How much do I need to fret over sprinklers that hit the stone? I have tried to point them away from the house but wind blows some spray on the stone. I know rain gets on it but it's never going to rain again.
  7. Caruso made his debut at the San Carlo Opera House in Naples in L'Elisir d'Amore to a lukewarm reception; two weeks later he appeared as Des Grieux in Massenet's Manon which was even more coolly received. The indifference of the audiences and harsh critical reviews in his native city hurt him deeply and he vowed never to sing there again. He later said, "I will never again come to Naples to sing; it will only be to eat a plate of spaghetti".
  8. Spectrum is running an add. Young couple taking an across the country road trip. The female takes 8-10 photos of the places they see...every one of them a selfie. Bitch, I believe you that you went to the Grand Canyon, you don't have to show me photographic evidence. Get out of the picture and let the Grand Canyon be the subject, you self-important twat.
  9. I submit that what you boys experienced was a sudden rush of wisdom.
  10. Kid is already playing behind his back. I bet his SRV licks are killer.
  11. Unfortunately it is coming through the wall. It's a small amount. Water loss is very small, but it leaks on to steel beams that support everything. Chlorine on steel, no bueno.
  12. For various reasons have not used the spa in several months. Turned it on today and there is a leak which appears to be coming from a line which feeds the jets. All the lines are in the wall that forms the outside of the spa. Any way to diagnose and fix this other than starting the demolition of the wall?
  13. I'm sure it works, and as a bonus I imagine it keeps away snakes, but the stank. I couldn't take the stank.
  14. It's a stone house and I think I'm good at the foundation around the perimeter, so I guess windows, doors and attic are letting scorpions in. I hate scorpions. Any experience, opinions re: type and technique?
  15. If there is such a thing as "The Austin Sound" it is Bill Campbell.
