Difficult Mission, wonderfully played.

Heather was a pro. And had us all discombobulated!!

 

[CarolM]

So, two left.
@Pistachio's Pamperer Heather's Mission related to her forum name...........And connects to Jason in a way.
Cameron @jaizei, what sort of cheese? It's a historical Cold Dark Room thing.

You guys must think I'm some kind of lush! ? Actually, I don't drink.

Anyway...we had our two dogs with us in our truck, a little yorkie-poo, and a cocker spaniel. The evening before I had sprayed them with flea spray. I sprayed them outside the truck, but lifted them up and in right after.

You know how dogs rub themselves after a bath? Well, they both jumped onto the bed and rubbed all over, including my pillow. That night I slept on that pillow, and inhaled the spray residue. I had poisoned myself with a powerful neurotoxin!
Incredibly stupid ??

Wow, Glad you are still around to tell the story.

Did it all go well. How ate the wrist and knee doing now.?

Oh boy, someone ate your wrist and knee? Wow, no wonder you are regulated to the recliner.

Well I didn't get solar panels. You are right they boasted about a double 25 year warranty. They have been in business for 5 years. Your comment kept playing in my mind. The second company that came out showed me the real numbers and to find out. We would have not produced enough energy to cover the whole electric bill per month. Over a 30 year period I would have saved 14000 dollars. But I am 63 plus I wouldn't have seen the full 26% tax credit because I don't pay much in taxes now.
The first salesman was pushy so I had some fun with him. The second salesperson was honest and their warranty wasn't too good to be true.
I gave them both a referral to a friend of mine. He asked me to do it. I told him about the first salesman. So he is going to give him the New Jersey treatment.

What is the New Jersey treatment?

 

[CarolM]

I am getting a better attitude. Hopefully I will be active in the CDR. I miss you all!

Good because we miss you and Ray and Rose as well.

[CarolM]

Yes, so who has the job of wrenching the Wooden Spork away from the steely grip of Kris @Lokkje ?
Well, I may have moaned, but it has to been the devastatingly huge minuses incurred by our own @CarolM
Never in the history of the Cold Dark Room has such a massive minus total been achieved.
I am flabbergasted.
