If I knew the part number or name of the gas cap I needed I'd probably looked

My question to you is...Why the Hell do you care where Ed moves to? You're
not paying his bills or making decisions for him, so why not just put a sock
in it and tend to your own home.

Kootchies posts are like when watching a good show on TV and channel
surfing during a commercial break and not feeling like hitting the

Everyone is still entitled to their opinion, but it is not going to

I don't recall him wanting an opinion on the house he and his wife chose for
themselves. What, you think he checks RFC before he makes important moves,
as if they have to be approved by Sheldon first? Get over yourself. LOL

I've found stuff on eBay that could not be found elsewhere. OTOH, one
medical supply that I buy is considerably more than Amazon.
Couple of times a year I buy a Respironics filter. Amazon is 8.95 but
eBay is from $8 to $14 from various sellers. You have to look through
a lot of stuff to find the good deals.

My aunt an uncle moved to Florida more than 40 years ago and have been
there ever since. They used to back back up here yearly, usually during
hurricane season. My uncle died last year, but my aunt is still
enjoying. I hope that you enjoy it has much as they have.

The other two have such similar names I can't tell them apart until
I hear the accent.

I just re-watched the Cincinnati episode with the elephants, amazing

sorry, I'm weaning myself from this newsgroup so I don't see

Same here, there is just so much posted filth, I'm no prude either, but as
soon as I see that stuff started, I just stop reading the whole thread
usually. I guess these odious garbage mouths have never heard of the concept
involving "subtle sexiness."

Absolutely one must get even the slightest things approved by Popeye,
else he will stamp his feet and throw a hissy fit.

It's what sailors do, I guess.

Yes, no basement is very bad news. Have one dug immediately, and don't
forget to outfit it with french drains and RO water filter.

And stock it with large quantities of canned spinach.

Same here, there is just so much posted filth, I'm no prude either, but as
soon as I see that stuff started, I just stop reading the whole thread
usually. I guess these odious garbage mouths have never heard of the concept
involving "subtle sexiness."

That you have a sump pums says your basement floods. Perhaps in your
part of Canada the building code doesn't require a basement drain...
in the NY County where I live basements require a drainage system.
Whoever built your house didn't know about installing a basement
drainage system or the customer was too stingy to pay the price. I
would strongly suggest you obtain a generator, minimally one large
enough to run your sump pump.
There are methods to install
a basement drain after the house is built. not very costly or
devatating to the building. The first step is to determine where the
water is originating. Very often water enters the basement from
inadequate rain gutters, eather thje gutters are too small or the
downspts do not guide water away from the foundation.
My house gutters have four downspouts, one at each corner. Each
enters a piece of 6" piece of PVCthat goes into the ground about two
feet with an elbow attached and then a ten foot legth of PV that
slopes and exits the ground on a slope, roof water runs away from the
house foundation. Ln ly maintenence is a couple times a year I clear
any plant growth from where the water exits. When houses are dsbuilt
the ground is typically grdes so water runs away from the
house but often within a short time that soil erodes and washes
downhill, if not repaired standing water will form at your foundation,
that water will enter your basement.... what type of backfill
determines how fast water enters... a good builder will backfill to
the footings with rock and gravel and forming a place at the lowest
point where water collects and flows down hill via lengths of
perforated PVC... also form a concrete lined pit at the lowest point
of the basement floor and poke a hole thrugh the foundation so as to
attach a piece of PVc that connects to the piece running down grade.
Now you'll have a basement drain, so you can get rid of the sump pump.
You can do the project yourself, if you have a friend with a backhoe
who owes you a favor it'll cost practically nothing, just the price of
some PVC and a few bags of sacrete. When I say DIY I mean hire a
strong teenager and supply a shovel. If it's down hill to the road
and you're not too far from the road and there's a culvert you can run
the PVC to the road and dump your basement water into the culvert.
There are plenty of web sites describing how to construct the various
styles of French drains.

I'd want to escape the winters and autumns of where Sheldon lives. I'd
be happy to pay for that with a bit too much heat and humidity. Like
in Florida or where we live now.

Everybody's different. You couldn't pay me to live in Florida. Sheldon's
winters are a little too cold for me. I wouldn't want to give up May and
October in Michigan, when the weather is comfortably cool and dry. Nor
would I want to entirely forego the cold of winter and heat of summer.
I appear to live in the ideal place for me. Luckily, I was born here.

Popeye is quite comfortable in his igloo up there at high altitudes,
even at 40 below zero.

And it has a basement.

With french drains and RO filter.

And he doesn't have to mow in winter.

Mid September to November are very nice in NY State and most places at
that latitude. Mid December to mid March is cold, dark, even depressing
for some.

Popey, don't yoose think he should just doze the place and build another
house?

Second time around, he might come close to the Popeye building code,
which is inflexible and very strict.

I was born in a climate with 4 seasons and plenty of rain. But I
prefer blue skies and sunshine, which I get plenty here.

And he lives in the correct state. All the other states are swamps
that will flood soon.
