BLASPHEMER!

I am at a loss for words to reply to this heresy. And now I have to go reassure my three tubs of ice cream in my freezer that they are indeed wanted here. You have hurt their feelings terribly. :p


One does not do car disco to counteract what one ate. One does car disco because it is fun.

Last time I had ice cream soft serve kiddie size cone from the ice cream joint, my Daughter counted I vomited three times on the way home. I used to be able to ice cream like a champ, just can't do it anymore. I can eat yogurt and some other dairy stuff. Milk in the form of shake or drink even flavored is of the devil. I do not nor have I ever liked milk or milk shakes. Gross, gross, gross. I imagine myself as a baby spitting milk out with my head spinning like Linda Blair's did in the Exorcist.

Oh that's sad, Jen. My first thought is that your body's no longer producing enough of the lactase enzyme. That's the enzyme that breaks down dairy in our tummies. Those who are lactose intolerant are deficient or lack that enzyme. I don't know why one would produce less though unless maybe a person stayed away from dairy products for years and the body just didn't need to produce it for a long time... but that's just a theory that I heard somewhere.

It has a lot to do with having Gastric Sleeve Surgery. Many Bariatric patients can no longer eat ice cream, cottage cheese, cheese, and yogurt seems to sit fine with most of us, ice cream just doesn't sit well in a half of a stomach. Anything with protein I can handle well, as well as vegetables and some fruits. I can't drink or eat anything to sweet, I vomit if I do. I tried a small amount of sweet tea for the first time ever on July 4th, I will never ever drink even a tiny amount of sweet tea again, 1. It's disgusting and 2. It's disgusting. Tonight for dinner I had a small piece of steak and some beans and was filled up immediately. Protein is amazingly filling with this stomach of mine. I will have a little glass of wine or share a beer with my Husband sometimes, but if drink even a little to much it doesn't work well. I appreciate that I can't physically eat a bunch of food anymore. Honestly shutting that down saved me.

Check the seal on the inner ring on the tank (not the gas valve cap that you put on to turn on the gas for the stove)...it's probably the rubber inside the gas can valve itself that is either chipped/ripped.....use a flashlight and if you hear gas leaking chances are it's not your gas CAP but the valve stem rubber seal inside the connection of your gas tank....
you can change it out if you have another empty propane tank....just use a small watch screwdriver and pop out the old rubber seal and insert the new one or one from another propane tank :)

It's usually a gray circle rubber that you can see inside the metal ring of the gas cylinder/can (not the gas cap/valve) but inside teh gas tank stem....

This is what I'm talking about hopefully I made sense lol....but inside the stem of the can look inside the metal ring w/ a flashlight and if it's chipped/ripped that's what's causing your gas leak and you can fix it by putting a new one of these O rings in or using an old one from an empty can and replacing it using a watch screwdriver/flathead to pry the old one out and then use your finger and thumb to push the new one in....


I had a dimwit give me a gas cylinder that leaked and i figured out it was this rubber seal on the tank itself....tried it out after replacing it with a spare seal and boom it worked with no leaks and we got to cook food! :)
One of the cans itself was leaking, and so I connected it to the camper, so if it was leaking, at least it was being used. However, the connections are leaking too, so it doesn't matter what we do to the cans, the connections themselves are faulty as well. two wasted canisters of propane, and $47 later, I'm on space heaters and frozen water. It's the camper's life for me.
We've decided not to wait for a $1,200 surveyor, and just to go ahead with what we're doing without it. Might be against something to do with land planning and zoning, but I just happen to think my dad can do with his property, as he desires. That, and I also think my need for a house is a little more important that some zoning board's opinions.
I'm getting my septic system put in this week, dangit! I'm done waiting. There isn't time anymore, to cater to their rules.

Only one problem.......if you sidestep zoning and land planning and proceed without the necessary permits those agencies can legally force you to remove whatever you build.......leaving you out the money you spent on materials and labor and still without your property improvements.

Yes, while that might be true, it is my dad's property, to do with as he pleases, and we're still planning on going through with the surveying, we just don't have time to wait for it right now.

I have to correct myself and apologize about a remark I made yesterday in here regarding the Vice Presidential debate...

I said that there were no questions about Clinton's email scandal and well yesterday I only caught the last 3/4 of the debate... Now that I'm re-watching it, turns out that the very first question was about Clinton's email scandal... Sorry guys! :(

Sounds like even better reasons for anyone wanting to own land to go through the process of obtaining allodial title to it instead of a simple deed.

I hope and pray that you guys get done whatever u need to get done to pass the survey. Whatever happens though, remember that its according to God's will and He'll see you through it if He has to.
