Primary election day is not a good day to call for a plumber, but I finally spoke to one who was referred to me by the first plumber I called because he couldn't come any sooner than tomorrow. The second plumber can't be here for TWO HOURS because he's babysitting their foster children while his wife works the election polls, so he was very apologetic about it taking him so long to get here. I chuckled to myself because two hours isn't long to wait at all. I just hope the plumber doesn't have some kind of emergency and calls to cancel.
When I woke up I told Jimmy to let me call the plumber and ask for help because if he called then the plumber would be thinking to himself, "Why don't you just fix the leak you Bozo?" but when a woman calls they expect her to be helpless in these situations. Now I hear you thinking to yourself, "why isn't Jimmy fixing the leaks himself?" Well, he was going to fix the one under the bathroom sink himself and let the plumbers work on the main water line leak, but I won't let him and you ask why??? Because he was HOT HOT HOT all night long...
Jimmy was and is running a fever, but like a man he insists he doesn't have one, that this is just his normal body temperature...well it's not! and I should know. It's been 2 days since the birthday party and one of the babies he kissed was sick and we all know that when grandparents kiss a sick baby chances are they're going to get what the baby had, but Jimmy can't help himself...if there's a baby or small child around, he's going to kiss it, and especially if it's sick and doesn't feel good.
Don't forget to get out and vote today.

Jimmy should have been a politician.
Sometimes you need to get a plumber to crawl places a older man need not be. As big as I am crawling under a house is a chore and I do not come out until the job is fixed. That means carrying everything I need the first time under the crawl space.
I carry a charm bracelet of tools around my waste under a house.
Dennis: waste = waist
Sorry. I was in my Scrabble mode.
I certainly hope Jimmy is feeling much better very soon.
