Lipstick and mascara? Yes. But.....I'm not your typical femme. I am the most unordinary person I know. And that makes me.....absolutely unordinary....in a totally far out outrageous way. I work in insurance and have always enjoyed it. I have and know a lot about Multiple Sclerosis. I'm also an astute observer of people - the things they say, the things they do...and the things they don't want you to see or know. People are...most entertaining. ;-) ~jifr! Za Mutant Queen

  • Help with leaking tub/shower unit...?

    New house question again...

    The faucet for the tub/bath unit leaks - or drips a little bit from where the faucet connects to the wall. I noticed that there is a little gap - like the faucet isn't pushed all the way to the wall.

    This appears to cause water to run along the lip of the tub to the edge where it spills out on the floor. Not good.

    I bought a simple splash guard and stuck it on the corner. I did not caulk it though and I'm wondering if I should - as a temporary fix in the meantime - because water is still running under it and onto the floor.

    I figure I need to unscrew the screw from under the faucet and take it off. Maybe a washer is missing or something but I'm not sure what to check for.

    Would appreciate any input. Thank you!

  • Need with ceiling fan lighting kit installation?

    Hi all. I recently purchased a home w/pre-installed ceiling fans but no lights. I am trying to add lights.

    I purchased a lighting kit, got instructions from the Lowe's employee...read the instructions when I got home and connected the b/w wires from inside the fan that said "for lighting kit" to the b/w wires from the light kit.

    Plugged in a bulb and hit the switch..... No light. Fan works just fine.

    So, I took the lighting kit to the other room...made the connections...flipped the switch and still got nothing.

    I tried this with 2 different brands of lighting kits as well.

    I called Lowe's and checked all diagrams and it appears I've done it correctly but still have no light!

    Suggestions, recommedations, help?

  • Grrr. Need help with current tank issues!?

    75 gallon tank. All parameters were fine except pH @ 6.0. My fish have been living in this water for a while though so I wasn't so concerned. Now - I noticed some kind of sickness in about 6 fish: 1 eye cloudy, scales look like they have been scraped. Pet shop told me that it is likely a bacterial infection. I've treated with Miracyn for 2 days.

    Uuugh - but I think I've messed with the water too much. I also added a buffer and it has made the water increadibly cloudy! The water was crystal clear before. I had already done a 20% water change before putting the buffer in - and then added the buffer when I put the water back in. After the water didn't clear up after an hour - I siphoned off another 10-15%. The water is STILL cloudy and now...all the fish seem to be hanging out at the top getting air bubbles! The filtration is great - breaking surface of the water. 2 airstones...

    HELP? Suggestions? Tips? Pointers? It is making me sick to think I may be killing my fish! thx!

  • Medical negligence?

    What kinds of things will the claims people consider when evaluating a claim for negligence against a hospital?

    The basics: I have a claim currently pending for negligence during a plasmapheresis treatment that resulted in 2 seizures and a 7 hr ER stay. It is unknown whether or not I will have any additional seizures if I was to ever have plasmapheresis again. The director of the apheresis unit agrees there are things that weren't done that should have been done.

    The general damages are just under $9k.

    What would you evaluate at? Where would you start your demand? What would you settle for?

    Thanks for any input/recommendations
