No, I haven't been in jail! But, I am back in action after an unexpected house problem. That leaking drain hose on our dishwasher somehow turned into a full scale remodeling of our kitchen. We've spent hours dealing with contractors, the insurance company, and the kitchen planner at our local Big Orange. Flooring, cabinets and counter tops are being ordered. The big action should take place over the next 6 to 8 weeks. $17k could have bought a whole lot of pen blanks. However, something tells me that the insurance company would have caught on sooner or later .... probably sooner.
Thanks to all of you who have sent emails checking up on my whereabouts. I didn't realize that I was being missed. :)

Glad you have everything covered, Al! We just found ourselves facing a similar situation in both bathrooms. 40 year old house and both faucets have decided to start leaking. A lack of parts available now means we need to change things out. Ah, the joys of owning a home![;)]
 
Stan has a great idea Doc. Replace your flooring with stuff like this company has and you'll have some great blanks! This is where my flooring is coming from in my dream house someday, and I'd gladly make pens to match!

I'd better go back to screening people over at the "husbands" link though, to find that rich old guy!
 
What a coincidence Al, had the same problem this week but all I got was a new dishwasher[:(] So glad it wasn't anything more serious[:)]
 
I'd know right away if something was leaking in my kitchen as the stuff is right above my workbench and lathe in the basement.

Good luck with the remodel.
 
OK John ... I found one! A kitchen joke!!

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wiped a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.

"What's the matter, dear?", she whispers as she steps into the room, "Why are you down here at this time of night?".

The husband looks up from his coffee, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and you were only 16?" he asks solemnly.

"Yes I do" she replies.

The husband paused. The words were not coming easily. "Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car making love?"

"Yes, I remember" said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

The husband continued: "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I'll send you to jail for 20 years?"

"I remember, that, too" she replied softly.

He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, "I would have been released today ..."
