So sorry to hear about the difficulty Shan is having with her eye-sight!! “HELLO, paging Dr. Intra-Lasik’s bedside manner…has anyone seen him?” Sounds he should watch the movie, “The Doctor,” or read the book “A Taste of My Own Medicine.”

Mark, you are getting to be a regular handy-man. We’re impressed…next thing you know, you’ll be quitting you day job! Love the zoo pics!!

It is hard not to say “hot water heater” when you’ve heard and said it all your life. I think I’ve broken myself of it. Another one is, “I’m making tuna fish salad.” Maybe it’s just a colloquialism, but I’m pretty sure “tuna salad” is descriptive enough without including a redundancy.

Not sure where we got those stats. I don’t think it was from the doctor who performed the surgery. The source didn’t say why there is a variance. Frustrating thing is that he came recommended by more than one person — but they didn’t have any complications. Much easier to deal with jerks when you don’t have to ask them to do anything but the basic required interaction.

I was confused with the “hot water heater” thing for a moment. I’m not sure how I refer to it since all of these phrases are in my head now, but I will be sure to say it correctly in the future!

Attic storage is so wonderful. You’ll be so glad you made the effort to lay the flooring.

Best of luck to Shannon…..**rubbing my eyes for her

I am very careful to say either “Water Heater” or “Hot Water Tank”. But you can’t hear the capitalization when I say it.

I can recall quite vividly the very last time I experienced anything with shoplifting. Since I don’t know the answer to your query about the statute of limitations, I’d best not say any more either.

Well, it sounds like your wife’s surgery didn’t go exactly as planned.
Do they say WHY that 5% doesn’t work so well?

“No, it’s not a ‘hot water’ heater.”

Yet, at times, I just can’t stop myself from saying it. And every time I do, mentally I say, “Sheesh.”

Thanks for the help, AB. :)
