Crack v No Crack

Ok, so we got our 3rd opinion on the "crack" in the furnace. There is no crack. What? We thought we saw the crack. The 30 plus years experienced furnace man came over tonight to show us that it is a line of rust on the outside of the duct work and NOT a crack. There is nothing coming out of that spot. He even put a scope with a camera through the entire venting and duct system to show us there is, indeed, NO CRACK! Furthermore, the original furnace company who came out to clean the furnace and the A/C really did not do a good job and he showed us the gunk in the system that was missed. So he didn't charge us anything (???) and said we should wait a month and then have our A/C cleaned out the right way, and in the fall have our furnace cleaned out. They should be done seasonal, not together.

"And oh, by the way," he said, "I remember your Mother. Dolores was her name right? Yeah, I've been here before. Is she home? Oh, I'm really sorry........."

So, when we thought the first company had screwed us, we stopped payment on the check. Then they came out and proved there was a crack, (or so we thought) so we wrote them a new check. Now we found out they actually did screw us. Oh Good God! Live and learn I guess. At least we have a regular furnace man now who also works for the home warranty company.

Aaron requested egg and bacon sandwiches tonight so I obliged. They really are so delicious. He has 2 and I have 1. I try to make them with everything else light and diet because I just can't eat fake bacon.

After dinner I had to run an errand to CVS and I'm hurrying up and down the aisles, then get to check out and put everything on the counter, give the young man my CVS card and he says, "Have you been cooking?" "Huh?" "Have you been cooking...before you came here tonight?" "Yes, I was frying bacon, why?" He says, "Oh, God, that smells so good! They should have a scent that woman can wear to smell like that on a date!" I laughed and said, "What, like Essence of Bacon Cologne?" "Yeah!" He said, "and garlic scented candles!"

OMG! I never thought I'd be ravaged at the CVS counter by a 22 year old!

Hmmm, things are looking up!
