There WAS a lot of laughter over the flooding, though… thanks for the visit, Bhing!

Ky was mourning the fact that she didn’t have the video camera at hand… and although I have to admit that it would have been hilarious to YouTube the event, sitting in the washtub in my underwear with water splashing straight into me, I doubt I’d have had the guts to post it.

Oy vey. Surprisingly, I had a three-day old load of laundry in the washer and ran it yesterday morning.

The good old flood days come, well, flooding back to me. Poor thing! Thank you for making it pretty hilarious even though you're probably still drying out. <em>Les Says: I imagine it will get a little less hilarious if I discover mold spots all over that last load of laundry...</em> It sounds like you’re living in my old apartment!

That is a terrible, hideous nightmare! I mean, sure, good thing there was the teeny hole for the water to run to the sauna, but how are you ever going to relax enough to fall asleep again!?! Poor Les! <em>Les Says: Worse - I discovered (HOURS LATER) that the shut-off valve shuts off the water to the ENTIRE BUILDING. ROTFL!!</em> NO WAY! That is a terrible, hideous nightmare!
