There was this small city in the middle of nowhere, there was an oil furnace called the Furnace of Fury. This oil furnace was notorious for its unpredictable behavior, often emitting flames and sparks when it wasn’t supposed to. It was the bane of every homeowner’s existence, always causing them headaches and anxiety. One day, […]

One day there was a ridiculous air filter frenzy, people were rushing to buy air filters for their A/C systems as if the world was about to end. The heating plus cooling companies were swamped with calls, plus their A/C workers were toiling day plus night to keep up with the demand. One day, a […]

In a world of humans and machines, there was an A/C system that needed fixing. But who would come to the rescue? A dashing A/C worker named Martha, that has who! Martha had seen her honest share of A/C hijinks in her day, however this one took the cake. The system was on the fritz, […]

Our house had a tin roof and poor windows. Because of the shoddy workmanship of the house, and the previous owners ignoring it, the wind always made the house feel colder inside than it was outside. I had wood-burning stoves in the house that seldom kept it warm enough. I worked all summer long to […]

We knew we needed to do a lot of work on the house when we moved in. We bought a fixer-upper, wanting to remodel the house to suit our needs. We didn’t think the work would need to be done as soon as we moved in, or we would have waited to move in the […]

My husband had a tin roof put on the house last year, and I hate it. The tin roof rattles with the wind and the rain, and it is very eerie. I wished I hadn’t agreed with his idea of a tin roof. He kept telling me how soothing it was to hear the rain […]

He said that as long as they rented, the landlord would always be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep. I wanted to own my home. I remember times when the […]

I ran into this Italian girl this morning yet again. I think she is new in town and I keep seeing her here and there. The only problem with talking to her is she speaks no English. I saw her this morning when I was going to go for a swim and spoke a bit […]

I have to take care of my flat so that I don’t lose my deposit when I move out. The only problem I have is my cats tearing up the sofa with their kneading every day. I may end up having to buy a new sofa when I move out, but I think I can […]

I have had a sore throat from allergies for six days now and I think it should be going away pretty soon. The weather has been really windy lately and a lot of dust and pollen got stirred up in this town and made my allergies come back. At least now I have more energy […]

Yesterday was an exciting day, I got to buy a new kind of cat litter for my two cats. The old cat litter was getting scattered all over the flat each day from my bigger cat FatBoy, as he is a long haired cat and the litter would stick to his hair. This new one […]

I was just listening to that song called The Safety Dance and wondering how the band felt with having just one popular song, which also came out on their first album. How do you do a concert tour with only one song that people want to hear? I always wondered how that works, do you […]
