Cameo role?

If the craziest thing happens to you in the forest, and there's no high-speed connection by which you can document it ...

The Joy of Self-Exposure

Ok, obviously this whole p:mobl thing was just a ploy to get me to post. How am I supposed to resist that kind of pressure? (jk!)

(e:Mike) - you can't leave us with a cliffhanger [inlink]mike,359[/inlink] like that for long! I'm dying to know what happens. Maybe you can write in a part for Shana's long-lost cousin, once-removed, last seen heading West but never heard from again. Unbeknownst to her friends and family back home, she has been keeping tabs on them from afar. She hears of Shana's plight, and racked with guilt for abandoning her loved ones in their time of need, decides to make amends and unequivocably show her loyalty by sacrificing the 6 months she has left to live due to a fatal but non-communicable disease that thankfully does not affect any of the organs Shana needs transplanted in order to survive. In a heart-wrenching video enclosed with the bio-packed organs, the cousin professes her love for Shana and the others and assures them she is certain this was meant to be her destiny ever since she and Shana found out they were a perfect match when they registered for the bone marrow donor program when that kid in second grade was diagnosed with leukemia.

It's just one way you could go with it. I'd be happy to moblog the audition in for your consideration. Oh yeah, feel free to harvest some eggs from the dead cousin since obviously Shana's accident left her unable to conceive. That'll give you a few more twists for the next season. haha!

Ha! Maybe you can take the cast and the crew "on location" in CA for that episode. In any case, I can't wait for Ep. 3! Help yourself to any plot (e:twists) - maybe shoot an alternate ending for the special edition DVD.

You are awesome! Those are awesome that I may use if you don't mind at least in some way might use them. You will have to fly in for the cameo role!!!! I will upload the third episode soon but after that it might be a little bit because the rest are not written. Well they are but like they are old ones and I have changed it so I have to go in and change them around kinda before posting!! Stay tuned... I love to hear I have a fan!

The catch? The only way to get to the kitchen is to go down that outside staircase. I am not kidding!

(Cell phone pic does NOT do it justice)

p.s. - (e:Ajay), now that you live in the same state you can't avoid me forever. When are you going to take that new car of yours for a spin to the East Bay?

twisted - 07/23/05 03:34
Whoa! My first ever comments (except from (e:Paul) who doesn't count) and this was just supposed to be a test.

Come on out (e:Joshua)!

Have you noticed how it is always the "radical untolerant liberals"; while the right is always the tolerant one, right? (e:Joshua), you are safer in SF than a left-wing person is, in the entire south, I'd say!

Nice picture! I'm hoping my job takes me to San Fran soon. I'm not really sure I'd like to live there (cost of living, radical untolerant left wing political scenario, etc.) but NoCal definitely has its advantages. I got a taste of L.A. and really liked it but I've been told that out of the "major" cities in California L.A. is the trailer park of the bunch.

fwiw

I wasn't expecting another round of plumbing [inlink]paul,3543[/inlink] advice, so I just noticed this in my inbox. Maybe it's still helpful:

This is probably some sort of compression fitting. The end of the pipe is probably flanged (underneath that nut) and fits into the mouth of the threaded pipe from the new faucet. Theoretically the teflon tape won't help, but it might.

If it doesn't fix it he needs to undo the connection and make sure there are no nicks or burrs on the threaded pipe from the new faucet, and make sure the flange on the other side is similarly clean. With old pipes sometimes bits can actually break off or perhaps a dried bit of pipe dope from the previous installation could be stuck in there, keeping it from sealing correctly. If the old faucet had any burrs or bumps the flange would have conformed to them when it was tightened down, causing a problem when connecting to the new faucet.

Here's a very rough sketch of what (I think) is going on in the connection. If the ridge that is supposed to make the seal is integrated it is called a flange. If it is a ring that slips over the pipe it is a ferrule. I think in this case it is probably a flange. It slips inside the threaded pipe on the other side of the connection and the nut around it compresses it tightly enough to create a seal. In theory the seal only occurs where the flange hits the other pipe, hence the teflon tape won't help.

Um, yeah! So there you have it. I really have to get a life.

p.s. - I think this was the "middle" possibility before Mark knew exactly what was leaking. Relaying (e:Paul)'s IMs and describing the pictures to Mark on the phone then typing Mark's responses back to (e:Paul) was kind of like the blind leading the deaf with me as interpreter. Weird. I hope it helped.

p.p.s. - Speaking of weird, I can't believe this is going to be my last post. That is so weird. Ciao, 'strippers.
