3. I would have to vote for Abbott
Only because I've never had to clean up accidents left behind by either the M.A.T.C.O.M Triad or Death

4. Don't be too sure...
...I might have turned right, when I should have turned left in the middle of the night while I was there. :o

I guess I'll have to write an essay on "How I spent my summer vacation entertaining the parents".

15. I voted for Abbott the Stealth Piddler, too
My new kitty keep his business in the business box, where it belongs.

And he's almost as cute as Lil' Abbott!

Or have I only see kitten photos of him, making me think he was Lil'

Man, my kitty is a mere 11 lbs.

7. Thank you, GOPisEvil and everyone, really
I am so honored that I have finally inspired an insipid Lounge poll! At last my life is complete. Thank you all - you don't know what this means!

Now, as for my spiders and untreated lumber - any advice?:evilgrin:

Is the wood rotten? If not, try Thompson's Water Seal. </bob vila>

18. No, not rotten (yet) just sagging
Like when I walk on the porch it starts to dip. It's a cool porch too, so it kind of sucks that I have to completely rip it out.

The bedroom has this awesome Juliet-style balcony on the back - also built with untreated wood.

So, I need to replace those two things AND find a guy to serenade me once it's finished. Damn, the life of a homeowner is never easy.

20. Oh Fenris and I will serenade you. No problem!
You might have to replace all that wood, though. The deck might need more support joists, too.

22. I think the whole thing needs to be ripped down and rebuilt
I keep getting conflicting info, but the supports are all cracked and are not looking good.

Yes, witness the new widow as she examines the structual integrity of her home! Amaze at her powers as she crawls under the deck to install her new outdoor lighting!

You:loveya: and Fenris:loveya: are going to serenade me? Will you only sing songs from The Queen is Dead? LOL

I can't imagine a more lovely evening. :D

23. Yikes...if the supports are cracked, it's best to replace them.
I want a deck, now. x( All I have is a small concrete slab about the size of a postage stamp. When you've perfected yours, come help with mine. :D

Sure - Fenris and I take requests. :loveya:

Isn't home ownership fun? :bounce:

24. I'll take before & after pictures
It is actually a cool front porch - big enough for my insane container garden, my water garden and my bbq.

The little deck is only big enough for me (and maybe a friend) to stand on while we're being serenaded.

Wow - you and Fenris are coming up to Seattle to serenade me - I haven't been this giddy at 10 am in a long time. Makes me want to break out in a horrible rendition of an already-horrible show tune.:loveya:

27. I don't have a front porch either!
Damn! I got hosed! :P

The only good thing about my back porch is that if I do add on, it faces east, so it gets the morning sun, but is shaded from the evening sun. I might have to add on with concrete though. Bleh.

I'm sure my boss won't miss me. He'd understand that I'm off on a religious mission. :D

32. I really do need to take pics of my house
I live on a great street - everyone has an amazing garden. My house is 90 years old, as are many of them around here, so the yards are also old. Nice, big shady trees, but we also get lots (by Seattle standards, at least) of sun. I've already harvested about five heads of lettuce, Swiss chard, peas and I have about six dozen tomatoes ready to ripen at any second now.

I even have a small palm in the front of my yard - that way I can get my California kicks without having to fly down there.

Do you have to have a minimum of people to form this religion? I bet we could come up with maybe five or so people here.

Like any good guru, I will feed you well and house you.:D

34. Wow...a house with character.
My house is just inhabited by a character. :D

I would have loved a house like that, but I couldn't afford one. I get the best of early 1980's construction. :eyes:

Since I moved in too late for veggies, I'll have to wait for next year on those. I also have to do something to make grass grow, and not weeds.

I have a few pictures of my house. I need to host 'em somewhere.

42. Here's one out-of-focus photo
It was from the Realtor's website. And so all the interesting, plush furniture is no longer here.

When the old owner stopped by once, she commented, "I love what you've done with the place. It's so minimalistic" (read: we don't have any furniture).

It's amazing what you can do with rugs, floor pillows, a sitar and a harmonium, though - the place looks okay!:D

I've got the tiki drink glasses, bbq and hors d'oeurves waiting - all I need is 24 hours notice!:D

You're such a good devotee. You will be greatly rewarded in the afterlife I'm just now dreaming up.:D

47. Woohoo! You're a great guru!
Just no grape kool-aid in the tiki glasses, ok? :D

Can I get some earthly rewards, too? I can be kind of impatient!

If you ever want to visit your southern temple, give me a shout. :hi:

You should expect it before the next full moon. Let me know if you don't get it - sometimes these deities can be soooo forgetful.

10. Rick Santorum
"I would argue that the future of our country hangs in the balance because the future of marriage hangs in the balance," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a leader in the fight to approve the measure. "Isn't that the ultimate homeland security, standing up and defending marriage?"

Is there a Matcom Triad after death?

'Cause if there is it's pretty annoying under any circumstance.

(Or even a kiss from Abby the Stealth Piddler...)
