There's an old French saying, "Lache Pas La Patate" which is sort of to that effect. Something like "hang in there" or "stay strong".
That has been my motto since the storm.

What's the status? I feel that so long as you have a sound roof, the rest can be strung out over time, but that might not be the case down there. Up here, the air is so bone dry (are bones REALLY dry?) that everything ends up desiccated. We don't worry about mold. The sun will bleach out wood and other things, but mold isn't normally an issue, so a structure with a sound roof can survive for...well, for centuries, based on ghost towns in the west.
Once the roof goes, though, the end comes swiftly.
My sister lives in La., she claims mold is the state flower. :p
Yeah, it pretty much is lol.
We got our roof done like a week after the storm. We just got the exterior done maybe 2 months ago which includes the back patio which blew out from the storm. This is all the interior which is the last of it all.
Mostly it was just finding a contractor. We had so many give us estimates then never call us back.
Last I heard, you couldn't even get an estimate up here. The housing boom may be slowing down. It certainly looks like it is, but for a time, anybody who could swing a hammer was booked up solid for months.
I was taking the mickey out of Obama Birtherism. The fact that I had to explain strongly indicates that it wasn't a good joke:rolleyes:.Quote:
I pretty sure this is a joke but I don't get it. Sorry.
Well, SH seemed to enjoy it. So it was a good joke, you just told it to the wrong person. lolQuote:

I'm currently riding in a car back across a part of the US, while writing this. What an interesting world we live in.
Didn't seem worthy of starting a thread but I thought it was interesting food for thought.

About parents that want to collect sperm from their dying son.
Aggressive grandparenting.
That's a good description. lolQuote:

I don't understand it from either one.
I can understand the parent and I understand the judges decision. I find the girlfriends willingness surprising.
I thought the situation was a good example of how advancing technology is going to bring up new questions/decisions. Though this technology isn't all that new, this type of decision wasn't a problem a 100 yrs ago.
It's not going to get any easier, either.
There is no particular reason why aging either has to happen, or has to happen at the pace that it currently does. If some treatment for that is found...we're gonna have some strife over it.
Hopefully, it will require the drinking of blood from living humans, so that the situation will be pretty clear.
I have a bit of a mystery. Two parts of a pen showed up in my dryer. The key part, the ink cartridge, has yet to turn up. That could be bad. The dryer managed to disassemble the pen into two parts, though I suppose it might also have been the washing machine. Either way, it's quite odd.
It depends which sauce you use.
