Toilet was fixed, new gasket fits, tank no longer rocks, only...it rocks. Why? Because I took it apart and put it together. I'll be happy about this until the thing explodes due to my incompetence and floods the neighbor's apt.

I've given in and created a filtered friend list. I may tweak it to try and catch people I know well, trust, and who make substantive posts of any type with no violations of what I consider LJ courtesy. I don't plan to tell anyone what I think they should or should not do. I may not look at that list either - if I do LJ I'm more writing - less reading.

As always, I'm just a phone call or email away.

Rocking toilet = they make and sell small clearish plastic shims just for that at Home Despot.

Sorry - other rocking, as in rock on! It's seated just dandy, I'm just happy the thing hasn't exploded. Yet.

ya know... I read that post... I wasn't offended by it. (Except for the article about the dog) Your opinions are your opinions. I am not one to try to change other people's perceptions or opinions. I constantly clash with people about religion. (Although most of the time it is because of those trying to change MY opinion.)

I also do not dress well... but then I always hated the Preppy/studly dressers... so perhaps it is my form of rebellion. I love my jeans and t-shirts. I have even adapted over the years... and actually started to wear Blue (as opposed to strictly black) jeans and colorful shirts. but most of the time they are either ill fitting or full of holes. I don't really care one way or the other.

(Although... I definitely need to get back in the gym!)

I remember talking to a girl, an officer in GALLA, who had a bi fiance and was so proud that she had taught him how to dress. "He used to wear like, black jeans and docs..." I openly noted that I thought such outfits were fine, even hot.

I thought about it a bit...specially the stuff about dressing from dasbot (who has a smoking hot girlie). Thing is...his girl always dressed super casual, which made me think she was HOTTER. I think my standard is more about how much skin and body you show - too little and I don't like it as I don't know what you look like. Too much and you're just a whore. But the body makes or breaks it.

Exceptions to every rule of course.

Oh...and that icon...never fails to creep me out! In a giggly way!

ya know... I think they need a Garanimals Brand clothing line for adults!

But I would want the shirts to be predators and the pants to be the prey. (I mean... c'mon... we're all about preying on what's in people's pants anyways!)

So The Lion shirts go with the Gazell pants.

I don't beleive that you have the arrogance to just up and "fix" your toilet. Who are you to judge this worthy appliance? It seems to me that just because your toilet sumbits to your daily infliction of waste products upon it, that is is somehow unable to make its own lifestyle choices. What if it doesn't WANT to be "fixed". You, sir, are a typical member of the patriarchy.

*hangs head* I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend everyone with my preferences for toilet guts types. I do have my preferences, but clearly I need to manage my words and actions more carefully so I don't cross that ever-important line between having preferences and talking about them in public. I love all toilets, great and small.

I hope cutting back on your livejournal goes well for you. Remember some of us are that far away as well.

[vicar.livejournal.com]

I still loves me my Michelle, my bell.

Will remember, good point.

[cweaselle.livejournal.com]

Then why are you cutting back on your live journal? Besides my possible boyfriend might not approve of that. ;)

[vicar.livejournal.com]

I bounce between why I write - I don't think a lot of people read this, and no one comments (though you do, and that's important - wonder if I take it for granted). I've been annoyed with some people in real life, and reactions online here, so I was questioning why I do this.

I also used to meet people online, and that has fizzled - anyone that I met has moved on, and people meet in weird places I hate like myspace and facebook - plus they WANT to meet, like they're hunting. Might as well do personal ads. Ick.

I write like I talk - I like to tell stories. But I want them heard.

I think that you & Beth are the only ones that respond to my journal. I've been cutting back posting myself because like you I feel like there is no point.

I have myspace, but I only have people I actually know. I did get a msg from my high school boy friend. I would e-mail him, but never add him.

I don't know if most of the people I have as friends are people I once knew. There area few of you that I do. It's really nice that you think that my responses are important. I like when you respond because I know that you really mean what you respond.

Thanks boo :)

[cweaselle.livejournal.com]

I don't know why you're scared of me enough to say boo, but I'm used to people being scared of me. I'm glad that we are still friends.

(boo is a term of affection)

[cweaselle.livejournal.com]

Why would ghosts say something affectionate?

[vicar.livejournal.com]

Boo!

If the toilet's rockin', don't come knockin'.

If it's rocking, something will eventually break. At a minimum shim it (as suggested above) so those things that are currently sealed are less likely to become unsealed.

Sorry I was very very not clear. It's actually "rokin' " because it is not rocking. I am just very happy that I fixed it, fixed it good (say that like "Killed it. Killed it dead. Dead'er than hell.")
