Becki

Hugs and love to you as well 💜

An Amazon driver just stopped to thank me for my #ProtectTransKids yard sign (which made me cry). Wasn't delivering anything, just stopped bc they were a trans man and wanted to say thanks. Support matters! 💜🏳️‍⚧️

I like the echo chamber idea! Slam dunk that one!

Is there a rule about "per my last email" types of responses that precludes me from replying with a "per her last email" message when someone requests a response to something that already had a response provided...?

Aww, that really sucks. Poor doggo. I'm sure it was a Very Good Dog.

I have a few... one is even in the basement! (And I tested it with the plumber. It does work.) I think my basement is just drafty. Thank goodness for that! So, not enough usage to create a ton of CO, and not enough has accumulated at one time to set it off, but I'm still replacing the whole thing.

Ehhh shit. And that can't feel good to hear about from afar, either. Not much you can do, either!

The tank is just over 10 years old anyway, though, so... better to just get a new one that's safer with the power venting feature and call it a day. I'll let you know if it craps out in the meantime, though!!

Damned of it is, the tank is technically still working! But the vent (through chimney) apparently is not, so it's dispersing the CO into my basement. 😬😬😬

I guess the older the house gets, the more likely the chimney will deteriorate, so even if they clear it out, it's likely to get clogged again

Not my jam, but also doesn't hurt to try it 🤣

I keep forgetting the butterfly app exists. My apologies! Things have been batty in my world. Lots of plumbing issues. Which led to the plumber pointing out that my hot water tank was basically trying to unalive me. (That will be getting replaced next week.)

Gonna look into selling feet pics. #hmu

Zoinks! I think he was trying to talk to me about parts and/or the lifespan of it (he was talking about both, long story). Catastrophic failure sounds, uh... pretty bad?

Lol, right? It was my dad, and I think that part was when he was trying to tell me how to figure out the warranty timeline on it, but I'm pretty sure I'm past that now.

"If you read your water heater's instruction manual..." ok, first of all, we are clearly different people...

Only time I file one in that situation is if I snag it... but I would try to keep it down and to a minimum. And I wouldn't clip. So gross.

I think I'm opening neither of them, mostly. But, yeah, agreed.

Very cool!

At the top of the photo, the bottom of the woman's face, including the chin, lips, and jawbone, as well as the bottom of the ear. The background is a yellow wall and a white door to the right, plus a metal case to the left.

The text "don't mind me over here partying" captions the top, above the feet. A geotag of Pitt Orthopedic Research Labs - Pittsburgh, PA, is across the bottom, which is across the thighs.

Hello, science? Yes, it's Becki. Please study me.

Yw! I feel like I ask you that every year bc I always think I have it wrong.

@sheepthemoon.bsky.social happy sheepday...? Is it today?

I feel like I have heard/said this before

Oooh that's cute!

Sending love to you & your family 💜

I hate it too. Trying to avoid it has not resolved the problem though (I've waited way too long to do this and had 3 other providers since confirm that it needs to happen so I can get diagnostics, which need to be ordered by the people who specialize in it...)
