I have a weekend off from anything so I'm actually here  Thanks again to Cia to helping out the past couple of weeks. 

You know what? I'm at a loss for words this week. No, I'm not drunk and/or incapacitated. 

We are in our annual Victoria Day weekend in Canada, so they means we get rain and snow. No snow this year though.

I decided to start on a plumbing project in my shower, and I bought some new apparatuses and thought today would be a good day to get them installed. When I bought them at the Homo Depot™ they told me I would just need a pair of pliers and a screwdriver. They lie !!!! I had to get a plumbers wrench and then came back home and read the instructions and I need plumbers tape . Most things throw the tape in there, don't they ?

Now if you are a plumber by trade and laughing your ass off at me, go for it ! Youtube did not get me out of this mess and unfortunately when you ask at the store, they seem to sell you something else. 

Needless to say, I have the pipe coming out of the wall right now and nothing more. So baths it is until I get it installed. Or maybe I will have a shower blaster for a day or two  

So here comes my question for the week. Are you a DYI'er, or are you more of a call a professional to do something? It seems like the mechanical as in autos I can do on my own with some help with a OBD meter and Youtube. I won't touch anything electrical or gas related, not a chance in hell. Well, I did put in a ceiling fan/light in my bedroom, but I'm still waiting for it to break off and snap the safety wire and kill me in my sleep . Happy thoughts. 

On that positive note let's move onto see what happened at the GA Blogs this week.

Monday was a chance for the Review Team to attract us all to another great story:

Tuesday was time for Myr to tiptoe in and try to scare the crap out of us :

Thursday... well I have to keep a secret :

Finally on Friday, Aditus, going for 2 of the 4 blogs of the week, gave us some new Prompts:

Now what would a week without Myr trying to expand our vocabulary and to use in our literary pursuits. Question, do you ever try to speak the word of the day in everyday conversation that day? I have to admit when the periodic table of elements were being done, people were looking at me funny . 

objurgate, turophile, ambrosial, incipience, hallucinate, spartan, sappy
