Blueskyhigh, I'd take a scar over other issues too. I remember getting some annoying skin tags removed when I was younger and the nurse was saying I'd be bothered by the scars. I said scars were better than lumps that caught on things and irritated me. I already have a big scar above my eye from tripping and hitting it on the corner of the coffee table as a toddler. Scars don't bother me. I saw in another thread they left a zigzag scar on you. Glad it seems everything went well. How are you feeling now?
I had to do some running around to get my bloodwork. The new girls working at my doctor's office sent me to the hospital to get blood drawn. Girl at the hospital was saying "It's going to be $218 if you get it here. I KNOW it's cheaper if they take it over there" so she got right on the phone and asked them if they would do it so it was only $89. Very sweet of her. I'd gotten the scrip from my doctor's office to get my bloodwork and then went to the hospital and waited. Then went back to my doctor's office to wait some more. As I was sitting there, I saw a guy with down's syndrome who looked very familiar. He was dressed very nicely and I commented on his hat. He was shaking people's hands and when I waved to him, he rushed over to hug me. I heard them say his name and realized he recognized me even though we haven't seen each other in over a decade. He used to visit my elderly friend's house as a child. He's the younger brother of one of my brother's classmates. Very sweet guy. His mom was saying he had heart failure recently but he didn't look in bad shape. It was good to see him again.
I'm currently trying to find out more info about tankless water heater systems. My friend is fuming right now because the city broke a main waterline on his street and it flooded his yard. He called to complain and got the "We're working on it" answer but there is no one out there working on it. It destabilized the ground his water heater was sitting on. The stand tipped, broke, and then his water heater fell and hit a cinderblock and got a hole in it. He's out in his yard trying to dig a trench to the ditch to get the water to go down but he is pissed. With this mayor they will refuse to reimburse him for anything AND the water company will probably charge him and everyone on the street for the excess water use even though its before their meters (they always do whenever there is damage). Mayor used taxpayer $$$ to buy himself a new Mercedes and is one corrupt jerk. We used to know him back in the 80s when he was ripping off the Boy Scouts.
Anyway, it took a bit for the nurse to find a vein (poked with her finger). I normally get major anxiety waiting for blood draws but I reminded myself that the last several times weren't bad and this nurse is very good at getting blood on the first try. I pinched my leg to distract myself and she got 2 vials.
Went over to the tire place afterward and had them put on my new cv axle. They said the wheelbearing was still ok but that it looked like the honda dealership broke the CV axle when they did the wheelbearing work back in December. It was driving better as I left and wasn't making noise until I picked up speed. Still making a thudding noise but it felt better when driving. Stopped to put gas in the truck & put in Seafoam high mileage cleaner. I still need to change the engine air filter. It started raining so I abandoned plans to go into Walmart.
Was going to take a shower at my friend's house tonight but that plan got nixed by his water heater busting. I've let him know that if he needs anything he can call-- even if its to bail him out of jail for punching the mayor in the face. Mayor doesn't take well to people complaining about the city. One of our friends complained when a city lawnmower kicked up a rock and broke his window as he drove past. He went to City Hall to file a formal complaint and ask for reimbursement. Mayor came by with the cops and told him he would be charged with a crime if he didn't recant. Said they would arrest him for filing a false report and demanded he withdraw or he was going to be cuffed on the spot. Fortunately, his GF bailed him out after he told the mayor to eat a ****.
So, anyone have recommendations on electric tankless water heaters? Can they be installed outside? Does my friend need some sort of reservoir/holding tank? He's got one bathroom, high efficiency washing machine, dishwasher, and one kitchen sink. They sometimes take showers while the washing machine is running, but I don't know if a tankless can manage that. Any thoughts? Recommendations?
, I’ll make a note of that.
