Not Now!!
Sometimes life just has to kick you in the shins. You know, things are flat out busy enough, and then something happens to just topple it over into chaos and frustration.

So goes my day.

My Russian houseguest just called to tell me that when she went to get some clothes out of the dryer this morning, there was water all over the laundry room floor. Thinking that this was a repeat of a previous plumbing problem, I asked her to check the hose draining from the furnace.

"Nyet, Leenda, это будет подогревателем воды, им очень плох".

In case you're curious, that's Russian for "No, Linda, your water heater is hosed".
$%#@$&&^*

A week of extra showers, toilet flushing, running the dishwasher every day, and extra loads of laundry have apparently sent my 18 year old water heater to it's death...

Sigh....I asked her to make sure it was draining into the sump pump, not to use anymore hot water, and I would call the plumber...
