I'm glad water is on it's way. Sorry about the pump.Thanks I live in the woods and don't have city water. It isn't too bad to change out except for pulling out the old one it's a rather easy fix. Our local plumbing supply store always has several in stock so as soon as we double check which one we need we'll grab it and drop it in. I'll have water by sometime today
Crush!
Hubby and I always laughed at Dilbert. His life mirrored hubby's. I think he was an engineer, too!

Well, she was definitely overworked. But they hired the second manager a month ago to take over some of her responsibilities, so stuff was still falling through. I really liked her, but had no idea how much stuff was getting forgotten until I really got into it.
At a certain age, that is beyond creepy and closer to factual. Laugh while you can!
Thanks Figgy!! We got through it fine. Only wind here. DD had some rain and wind. DH still in midlands of SC working outages. He had it the roughest there last night. But no tornadoes so we were both happy.
Thanks Bets! We are all fine!
Oh, I don't disagree at all. He is looking at the grim reaper things as having beaten it. So, yes... naturally one can laugh at it. However, at a certain time the grim reaper will come calling again and there will be no beating it, with or without cancer. That is called old age or what is sometimes referred to as Supreme adulthood. That tends to take the comic edge off it completely. Not lost entirely, but, cause for much more serious thought then we had before reaching that spot.Maybe it's 'cause he's already stared down the grim reaper as a youth and beat cancer, and made it well into adulthood.
I think he has every right to laugh all he wants...!
Me too. I think laughter relieves pain, in many areas! I've used it all my life. I was a terror in art class, I drove the new teacher, in the back room to compose himself. Such a fun class, we never got into trouble, as we got our work done, with lots of laughter! I got all A's.Maybe it's 'cause he's already stared down the grim reaper as a youth and beat cancer, and made it well into adulthood.

I'm so glad to hear that. I was worried about tornado's they are unpredictable.Thanks Bets! We are all fine!
Not for me, I may go out kicking and screaming, or with a smuggled tequila.Oh, I don't disagree at all. He is looking at the grim reaper things as having beaten it.

I know I made is sound melodramatic, but, I don't really dwell on it either. I think about it more then I used to, but, I still plan ahead, like buying a new car financed over years like it is a given that I will be around to pay it off. Hopefully I will be, but, it is something that people of a certain age do think of more then we ever thought we would, but, we don't carry it around like a giant weight either. I think we just find a way to accept that it is the future, at some point, whereas we never did that 20 years ago. Invincible was our name... living forever was our game.This reminds me of when DWiffey told me when I first met her grandfather on her dads side that "He's been 'dying' for years!".
He lived well beyond that and died at age 89.
My pop is 83, and since we was replumbed, he lost a bunch of weight and is doing awesome.
I know there is no way of knowing when our demise will be, whether it's a health issue, or being hit by a truck, but, I don't find it useful to dwell on it...we can take precautions in certain ways, but, yep, we're all gone at some point.
But, I'm also not as "old" as you...yet...!
I'm superstitious that way.
I feel the same way. Getting so old you aren't yourself, or can think is much worse than dying, IMHO.This reminds me of when DWiffey told me when I first met her grandfather on her dads side that "He's been 'dying' for years!".
