Random, stupid things on your mind

I found this

Very warm (too warm)plastic fittings can smell alot like chocolate, or rather a sweet sickly smell (we had a problem like this with one of our double sockets). Check out all the sockets, light switches etc.

Thank you for this! @anniem     That never would've occurred to me.  I will check all of them now.

Yesterday, I was on a 4-party Skype call with the family in Japan...

On screen, a successful author/gaming website owner, an international corporate attorney, a member of a founding family of Nissan, a landmark-ruling high court judge (similar to the Supreme Court).  Two 5-story houses and a mansion among them.

I sat here in a 3-story lagoon-neighboring house in SoCal feeling rather unaccomplished. 

Argh.

Perhaps you should rethink how you measure accomplishment.

It was an attempted 3 storey humble brag.

Think of the lagoon as your pool

I’m in a one bedroom apartment surrounded by a small town that has essentially shut down. And my artistic creativity has run dry

He's including the basement as the 1st.

You still in a poopy mood?

@anniem  Thanks again for the tip.  Turns out I did have a problem.  There was a nightlight that was plugged in one of the outlets in the room I spend most of my time in.  I've had it on for years.  Heck, I haven't changed the bulb in at least 5 years.  It was slowly burning out and causing a streak of soot on the wall.  Never noticed it.  The outlet was warm too and had some heat damage, so I went to Home Depot and bought what I needed to replace it. 

New outlet...no more night light.  I think I'm good to go. 

CHEERS TO YOU!

@KSM32   Not as bad as yesterday.  My cup of rage runneth over.  Still 'agro' but centered.  I'll put it all away until next time.  I'm good.  It never goes away for good though.  Until next time...

I meant to finish my thoughts. Bend over and smell the outlets.

@ShayP Maybe this will help.

As my wife was showering upstairs this morning suddenly water started coming out of the main floor bathroom doorway just pouring out from the top trim that surrounds the door. By the time I caught it I'd say it looked to be about three cups of water had came through. Well, this is a nasty can of evil plumbing worms that may now be open. I am not a plumber by any stretch of the imagination and because it's Easter weekend we can't get one in. I have done what I can and when all the silicone and sticky shit I got all over the place dries I'll turn on the water and see what happens. She hasn't even seen the mess I've made in her beautiful tub and around the faucet and everything else. There is no winning here - just degrees of losing.  I could end up with a mold issue, drywall rot - who fucking knows

To make matters worse I did legs before tackling the water issue and I have sprained my right ASS CHEEK!! THE WHOLE WORLD IS AN ANUS AND I CAN'T CAULK IT!!!
