Next, before hiring another contractor be very keen that you have a very detailed CONTRACT in hand. That way you can take him to small claims court if he screws you. Next, what do you look for in a sneaker? I like deck shoes myself, and since Airwalk screwed the pooch (they now glue their soles on instead of stitching, and if you work in them at all they fall apart), I now buy Mossimo's at Target. They're about $20 a pair and come in my favorite color (solid black). As for the neighborhood, let's hope they are all genuinely lovely people and there's not a nosy nutter in the lot of them. :) Okay, #1 being that I am a subcontractor - FIRE YOUR CONTRACTOR.

"The problem is" is better than "The problem becomes". Regardless of the time, you may be a complaining, crotchety, old boyfriend. Next time #1GF is asked to "help out" I think we may already have dinner plans... Keep jibba jabbing about CMT like that, and you and I are going to come to blows.

“The problem is” is better than “The problem becomes”.

I feel for you. If you haven’t already, I’d say you need to stop paying the contractor and let him figure out for himself that he’s doing a crappy job and that’s why he’s not getting any money.

How do you take a vacation from not working? It's highly illogical. @Doles: I don't even have VH1, so I caught the reruns on CMT. Thanks for the offer on CR. I don't know what we even need since our stuff has been in storage so long... @M-shel: It’s sad, but you may be right. How do you take a vacation from not working? It’s highly illogical.

On another topic, if you are still buying stuff for the house, I have an online subscription to Consumer Reports. Shoot me an e-mail and I'll give you my login info.

Now I'm downright petrified about your state of mind. Jon, my friend, I think it's time for a vacation...for realz.
