lol, we feel the same about bottled water... our massage therapist gives us a bottle of water each visit. we save them and give them to the people at the greenhouse because their water isn't drinkable. it takes a pretty extremely rare circumstance for me to ever buy bottled water. Mom has one of her friends that drinks the small bottle sizes and goes through 8-16 cases a month of those. all that plastic makes my stomach turn at the thought of it. i can taste plastic too easily as it is... ah well... :/ off to the races...

called lowes 1=800 customer help line yesterday " hello my name is alberta" i knew after that everything was going to be fine with a name like alberta, explained our situation....
well all i need is your phone number and name on the order...
give all that to her....
give my a moment ..i see you purchased in kernersville..
yes..
i see that they called you about the discontinued range, oh my you got a nice free upgrade..
???
the range you will be receiving is 110.00 more good for you....
great...
give me a second, i see that you range was delivered to lowes on friday, they had to order it direct from the factory... they have you on the delivery schedule for tomorrow... i will put a note in there to be delivered before noon....

no word on exact delivery date on the range the best i can see see it's going to be after the 1st... i went looked up lowes/ home depot stores all across the usa same thing...backordered even induction ranges....

best i can figure out is ....your president pisssed off china with his tariff, so they placed all ranges on the slowest boat possible, knowing darn well we need a new range....thank you comrade trump...

on to happier news.. we will be having a carpet company install the carpet and vinyl, they were 500 over budget but we said enough is enough we are tired of waiting, so 1/3/19 the carpet will be installed, and then the vinyl will be put down after the kitchen get sheetrock paint and upper cabinets are finished. then the vinyl goes down and the lower cabinets and countertops....... so things are slowly moving along.....

So happy to see that you got your new stove, and an upgraded one at that!
Yay!

Nice that it didn't turn out as bad as you anticipated.

Don't forget to count your blessings, friend.

lets add to the saga..... this morning got up used the toilet it did not want to go down,,got the plunger out all it did is push water into the tub, figured it was a blockage so grabbed the shop vac blocked the tub and sink put it on the shower drain..thats usually clears it up..not this time.grrrrr
went outside and checked the upper clean out. slap full of water..not good.......

yes we had 2" of rain ,but we have had 6"+ and never a burp... asked the dw when was the last time we pumped the tank...4-5 years, she started to call septic companies are closed on the weekends she found one, should be here shortly...

update.... holly crap we were full of sh!t... the honey wagon person asked how old the system was.. he suggested that we start pumping 2-3 years... due to the type of soil we have..carolina clay..

payed the man 275.00 worth every penny..

so now i can sit on the royal throne and dispatch royal documents......
