Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Plan B the Plumber

My showerhead has been giving out less than stellar water pressure the entire 2 years I have lived here (I have always blamed the low-flow feature on it) but recently it has been near non-existant to the point where it takes me a good 5 minutes to get the shampoo out of my hair. Ridiculous!

I mentioned to Ron at lunch that I need to buy a new one and he suggested I just take it apart and remove the gravel buildup that was most likely the culprit of my lessening water flow. When I mentioned it was low-flow he also told me I should just remove that device while I had it apart. I *heart* him!

I got a pipe wrench and headed home to tackle my shower head. Turns out all I needed was some needle nose pliers. The head came off relatively easily and I was able to remove the gravel buildup with no difficulty. Still bad pressure so I took it upon myself to dismantle it and see what would happen. I ended up not breaking it and with enough power to rinse my hair in seconds. All of this without an astronomical bill or plumber's crack! I'm stoked.
