Actually, it sucked. I was sick all day from the new treatment
protocol.

Thanks for asking though. :)
Sorry to hear, Tom.

I hate these "experimental" treatments even though I volunteer for
them. :)

I had done that at one time with a serious bout of GERD.

As my internist says (she has quite a sense of humor), my situation is
so unique that it practically begs to be used as a test bed. :)

It's not a bad gig either - they pay my travel time, give me a stipend
for the day, allow me to pretty much have the run of the place
(because I'm interested in technology and medicine anyway), they know
that I'm not a complainer so when something ain't right, it ain't
right.

Yep, been there done that, though it sounds like my guinea pig days
weren't for as severe treatment as yours! Now, my guts? I can talk a LOT
about those!!!

The down side of course is that these things can get ugly occasionally
- I have spent some hospital time due to a reaction, but overall, it's
been worth it. I'm not in a wheel chair, still mobile, still have a
sense of humor about the whole thing and I appreciate that the
researchers enjoy some of my antics from time-to-time.

Yeah, same here, after my second reconstruction op, I had made friends
with a lot of people in the hospital, so it was okay......I guess.....
I HATE the hospital, though!

Altough I must admit, the time I lit up a Cuban while in the infusion
chair (heck - I was going to be there for 10 hours - you know what I
mean?) didn't go over too well, but they eventually got over it. :)

Joke 'em if they can't take a f*ck.!
Glad to hear you're doing well.

I had the roofers in to strip & re-shingle my roof.
They are finishing up today.

Had mine done about 6 years ago with 40-year shingles.
Hip roof, standard bungalow, about 40'X30'.
Tear-off, and they put about 4' of membrane on the edges.
New power vent. $4k.
Saw the guy and his crew doing a house in the neighborhood when I was
coming home from work and nabbed him.
No complaints. But I found out later a work mate who lives by me had
trouble getting the same guy back to fix something done wrong on his
split-level.
BTW, I worked at a major insurance company and was surprised to find
that 3 guys I worked with had got free reroofing from that company by
calling out an adjuster after hailstorms.
Gravel in the gutter? Hail damage, reroof.
Unbelievable. But true.
Not saying that if I carried that homeowners I wouldn't give it a shot
myself. $4k is $4k. And theirs roofs were bigger than mine.
One was going to redo his roof and already had estimates of $10k when
he received a godsend. Hail. He wasn't even thinking of the roof,
but had a couple dings in the siding so he called out the adjuster.
Adjuster went over the house. Gravel in the gutter, free roof.
Don't know what influence being a company employee had on this, but
it sure didn't strike me as wise business practice.
I probably pull at least a pound of shingle gravel out of my gutters
every year when I clear leaves.

Converted to yankee dollahs...I'll be paying about what you did.
My main roof isn't big but it's a full two story with a 8" in 12" slope. A
bit much for anyone not comfortable with heights and fairly steep roofs.
They did three small roofs ................one over the front doorway & two
captain windows also.
The roof on 'moms addition' is only 7 years old, so I'll wait for a year or
two to do that....... at least until after I paint the back next year.
I went with fibreglass 'architectural' shingles this time...instead of the
usual three tab, felt based standards.

Uneventful for me. I just paid some bills so I could write 9/9/9 on
the check. I thought about writing it upside down on the Comcast check
but I thought it would be redundant.



After four months of "romancing," I landed a new client yesterday, and got
the contract via an email .PDF this morning. :)

I did my ma's roof, which a 2-story and pitched real steep. Made a
"chicken ladder" to hook over the ridge. Roll roofing.
I was young and strong but it was a real PITA anyway.

Same here. Don't know about the fibreglass though, but they look
good. Oh, that included my detached garage, a 20"x22"
I really like those red 1/4 round tiles they use a lot of in Florida.
Wouldn't look good on my house though. Expensive too, I think.
If I knew I was going to be in a house for 100 years I'd go with
steel.

You can get metal panels that have that look. And the fiberglass just
takes the place of felt, holds up a little better, but certainly won't
solve the gravel problem.

They are expensive. $18,000 for a new roof on my house (40sq) the last
time I checked. Fortunately I won't need one for 10 years, or so. The
upside is they really last for 25+ years. Asphalt shingle warranties
are prorated for a reason!
