Who touched the... seems to be something that is heard often in our home. I buy certain ingredients for recipes and when I go to make them, more often then not something is missing, leaving me to figure out what to make in it's place. Meal planning is a real hassle when this happens.
My husband has his own desk and I have my own, yet almost every time we need something, it isn't where it is suppose to be and you will hear us say who touched the...? Funny even with all of the who touched the..., I can most times help my children find what they are missing.
Remotes are another who touched the...moments in our home. For some reason the kids just don't have it within them to put them back in the rooms where they belong. We often find the computer room remotes in the bathroom, or stranger yet up in their rooms. I don't ask really but how does that happen?
Never mind chocolate it goes so fast in our home most people don't even know we had any including ourselves because it seems to disappear as fast as we replace it. Also if you asked who touched the... everyone says it wasn't them so I am convinced we either have a ghost or at least a borrower in our midst.

I've been here all night.
I've been here all night, OK well most of the night. We went out earlier for a wake for a friend that my husband had worked with, then out to return something to Walmart for my daughter, and then home again. When we returned we had a note on our door from our neighbors, something about bad water pressure.
Before we had left for the wake I had a message from our other neighbor that their pipes were frozen, didn't think anything of it till we checked our water and had almost no water pressure ourselves. My husband ventured down in the basement which is no small feat with an injured leg mind you and finds the water pump running non stop and it sounding like it was going to kick the bucket.
Needless to say I have been here all night talking back and forth with the neighbors and our landlord, hoping that they fix it first thing in the morning so things can get back to normal.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That is what my landlord said when I called him this evening.
I told him the neighbors had messaged me earlier that they were having problems with their pipes, and I had a note on my door from the other set of neighbors that live in the house in back of us that they had no water pressure.
He said it would be 3 hours before someone would get here. I told him my husband was going to turn off the water pump because it was running non stop and he didn't want it to cause a fire, besides it didn't sound too kosher while running.
I messaged the one neighbor back and called the other, a little while later when I called our landlord back he said his workers wouldn't be here till tomorrow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah is what I said.
While messaging back and forth to the one neighbor I find out their heater broke down a few weeks back and the landlords men have been back there every few days trying to get it fixed, and that was probably what made the pipes break in their house last night.
My husband said with the water pump running non-stop because of the break we were lucky we had water as long as we did. The frozen water is just spreading with the pipe broke. Wish someone had said something earlier about the pipe because it would have saved the pump and our electric bill, just hope our pipes don't go next.
My husband is thinking they may need a new water pump as well as the pipes replaced in the back house.
Of course all we will hear from the Landlord is...Yeah, yeah, yeah

Just don't do it!
I know most of you know of a brand that has used the logo "Just do it" for a very long time and might still, but there are times when you "Just don't do it". For instance doing drugs. Just don't do it, if a Dr. has not prescribed it you shouldn't be doing it, if they do, question it anyways and try to get away with not taking any for as long as you can, or at least look into alternatives.
I know in the Bible it says something about wine, but frankly I have tasted quite a few and haven't got past the first or second sip. Yuck. Grape juice or Sparkling Cider for me please. I really don't know how people can stomach it. I can take the strawberry daiquiri and Pina colada with or without the alcohol it really doesn't matter, and yes when I was underage I did drink several times until I had a hangover and I told myself I would never have one again, which I have held true to. I can still count on my hands how many full drinks I have had while married to my husband and we have been together for 23 & 24 years.
Just don't do it when your friends want you to try smoking. It isn't worth cancer, bad breath, stained teeth, stinky clothes, and nicotine fingers, not to mention ash trays. Yucky. When you see someone else making a mistake don't repeat it yourself, and if you are warned, take the warning to heart it just might save you heartache in the end.
I know we all want to be independent but when someone else has been through it before and they warn you of the problems...Just don't do it. There are so many more things we can learn lessons from on our own that no one around has had to endure and then we ourselves can tell others...Just don't do it.
