Project Fix The Damn Toilet Myself has been canceled on account of The Bolts Are Rusted In Place And I Can't Loosen Them. So, plumber. Turning this $8 project into probably a $100 project. Bleargh.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
OK, my kale/quinoa/potato/beans/leeks stew has finally finished cooking, but the split pea soup that I'm trying to make doesn't even remotely look like split pea soup yet. This is getting annoying.

I've had to do thet with The Fucking Nuts Are Airjacked On, So I Can't Change the Goddamned Flat Myself, Jessica.
It's very annoying.
ETA: I mean, I didn't have to call a plumber, obviously, but did have to call Roadside, back in the day when I didn't have it on my car insurance.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Remember when I said I was going to do 8 hours of work this weekend? Yeah, that was funny. I'll be lucky if I'm done moving and cleaning in time to watch the Saints at 7 pm.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have found, consistently, that AAA is worth the money I spend on them, even if it's because I'm feeling really pissy and I don't want to get that dirty. However, tows, jump starts, every year since that winter in MI where I first signed up--it's been cheaper to be a member. And I know I'm not taking advantage of their other services.
I'm watching Drumline right now. Nick Cannon's character better get a clue sometime soon, because he's really putting me off.

See, changing a flat myself makes me feel all RAWR I A WOMAN; it's a PITA, but I've done it many times. And when I CAN'T do it, because of the stupid nuts, it makes me feel like a weak little girl, and I hate that.
It's not rational.

That shit takes forever to get off my hands. I'd rather punch someone in the face to feel all womanly. Blood washes off skin much more easily.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah AAA is totally worth it for us, and we don't even drive clunkers anymore.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Jessica, at least when you call the plumber you have the satisfaction of knowing that you tried, but the job needs a professional. So you don't have to look back and say, think of all the money I could have saved.
I'm a big believer in Due Diligence. Give it a try, and if it really is beyond what you can reasonably do, spend money on a pro with a clear conscience (if smaller bank balance.)

I had to call road service for my last flat tire for that reason, Erin. I practically stood on the lug wrench and couldn't budge them.
I was probably happier with road service, though, since the spare on the truck is attached underneath the bed with a system that assumes that trucks will always be on lifts in well-lighted places.
