Rugaddict, must be quite a job. I hope the nursing home doesn't have that "c.diff" smell. I have a friend who used to work in a nursing home and she said it was pretty nasty-- so many things got spilled on the floors.
Don, that sounds like a ton of work! And it sounds like someone wanted to make sure stuff stayed in place for a long time. I hope the job goes smoothly.
Jon, at least thus far I've been luckier than my friend. In the past few years he's had a tree fall on his house, was nearly killed in a wreck bc the tie rod came off his S10, and had his house burn. He's had multiple problems with vehicles he bought (a couple of them just broke down and weren't worth fixing-- last one was another S10 that had the tie rod break). People have ripped him off and stolen from him. He broke up with his gf that he has a kid with (he finally dumped her after years of her being a complete twunt-- but the most egregious was letting her 6-year-old set the house on fire and she abandoned their 3-year-old daughter in the burning house-- fortunately my friend got the kid out but she has respiratory problems now). He's still being manipulated by her. And he recently found out he has a bone spur in one of his vertebrae that is poking in to his spinal cord. If it continues to grow, it can paralyze him but the doctor's won't try to operate bc they said the surgery could paralyze him. For now it is causing him a lot of pain, but he's still trying to truck on. And yesterday he got a notice in the mail that the jerk neighbor who almost ran him over the day before is a registered sex offender (crime involved juveniles) and the jerk just moved in to an area with several children right next door to him. So, my friend is concerned about that, since his now 4-year-old daughter is there.
On to my brother's situation-- American Airlines had to pay for him to stay in the crappiest hotel they could find. He said the phone didn't work and neither did any of the power outlets. He couldn't charge his phone. He also got a tiny sandwich that cost $12 but the airline had to pay for it. They arranged his next flight for noon the next day (even though there were some earlier flights). I haven't heard from him to find out if he got on the plane ok. It's a long flight so he probably hasn't landed yet (if he got on the flight to begin with).
