My reprieve from yard work yesterday turned sour when the heating guy showed up
to find out why the heat on the second floor isn't working. Flash forward to
midnight, where I am paying off the plumber for a few hours work installing new
relief tanks, a few other new fixtures, and a new pressure reduction valve, as
our old one had failed, leaving our home plumbing to deal with water pressure
intended to distribute water over several square miles. And at the end of it
all, only one radiator out of three on that floor actually gets hot, and the
other two just warm up a bit, so we never even completely solved the original problem.
Joy.

Guys, take your pointy tin foil hats off. How did they get the information that she had mental health issues? They googled her. You can to - look up her name: Ellen Richardson.
Or maybe you prefer to believe that the NSA hacked into Canada's healthcare database and then turned the info over to customs.
Also: I hear that there never was a Soviet Union, much less a fall of the eastern block. It's a lie perpetrated by evil capitalists meant to discredit the virtues of communism.
The real story here is how stupid some people can be by spewing info like that all over the internet and then be surprised that the government can in fact use public search engines. And then there is the fact that apparently no one else uses a search engine - they just take it for granted that some reporter is not trying to slant the story.
