Thanks sissy, yes she is a sweetie pie! Sorry about your mess w/ the darn fix it man. Not nice at all to say that to you about regular customers taking priority over you. Report him and call the main company too that makes your product. Tell them he won't come fix it. Don't give up!

Lou I heard that on the radio yesterday and what a horrible tragedy. Glad yours weren't those African ones. Guess you better make sure you have all holes, cracks plugged from now on in your house and any outbuildings!

YaY you won Sissy and glad it has worked out for you w/ your air unit. We have to stand up for ourselves in what is right and never give up or we will continue to just get walked all over. Hope it stays working right for you now.

Agreed Yay Sissy! Lets hope you can keep your cool.

I know we need bee's but I don't care for them. As a teen I used to have to cut an alpha field with a huge stack of hives at one end. I never had a problem but it always worried me.

Africanized bee exterminator arrived just at sunset tonight. We had to turn off all interior and exterior lights. After puffing in 16 oz of a deadly pestiside powder the bee man provoked the hives with his flashlight. The sudden buzzing volume was amazing. Within minutes the buzzing got less and less until all was silent. In the next 21 days bees will hatch from the same hives and immediately come into contact with the powder and die. It is very sad that the wonderful European honey bees are falling victim to those African invaders.

Sunny and I must remain inside for two more days. A man will temporarily tighly seal the siding tomorrow. Once all the newly hatched bees are dead the company will send a person to remove the lifeless hives and dead bees. Then we can have the siding replaced and painted. We still have not decided on all new siding or having just enough new siding modified to match the 20 year old style. No use to worry about anything. We will face each task in due time.

( Syfy bees be gone relieved smile )

Good night my friends.

that could include adult children these days .koiguy .I can remember when I moved out of my parents house I never moved back in .Good old days when you scrimped and saved .Not I want because I want it even though you can not afford it days now .I guess I taught my sons that because they are the same way ,they can't afford cell phones so they don't have them and they can't afford new vehicles so old is good .At least I can say there bills are paid with no help from me .

So Lou you really did have the African bees? If so you are lucky you didn't have a run in w/ them! Glad they are leaving for the big bee Heaven in the sky! Gosh make sure there is no way for anymore to get in there again. Oh it gives me the shudders thinking what they could do to you after that one news story about that poor man!
