All I want is for a contractor to show up at my house, do what he was supposed to, and have it work. WITHOUT SOMETHING ELSE NOT WORKING!

We got a dishwasher installed yesterday….now there’s no water pressure in the kitchen sink.

I was finally able to look up the actual ordinance about noise…stupid old bat should be aware of the law before she threatens someone with it.

Sec. 19-58. Excessive noise declared a public nuisance.

Well, Izzy’s first HOLIDAY season was quite a success! His Christmas saw a new swing hanging from a tree at his granparents, some clothes and some toys. His Hanukkah saw more clothes and more toys. I think he was on too much overload to pick a favorite.

I can’t wait to see what happens during the annual Gonznonian New Years celebration!

Aaah, the joys of the holidays.

Merry Chrismahanukwanzakah everyone!
