I am such a clutz I tend to be a bit clumsy. I have consistently been that way, and it has consistently been a sore spot for me. I used to get made fun of a lot in college for tripping over nothing or hitting myself with something on an accident. I was almost too…

My sister was getting married, plus my parent’s home would be a beehive of activities in the afternoon, then as tradition dictates, the groom plus his family would come for my sister from our parents’ house, meaning there would be multiple people. The afternoon before the wedding, the worst thing happened, the HVAC device broke…

My husband and I both grew up in the north, but when we were first married, we decided to move south. We stayed down there for three years, but we just had to move back. We could not stand the heat. We thought that we would get used to it, but it did not happen….

Winter is gone, for now. Had I truly had any sort of comprehension of what this sort of winter season weather would be like, I might have said thanks but no thanks to this job. My life has consistently been lived far south of the Mason-Dixon line. I grew up way down south and never…

The world is changing so fast it is difficult to keep up with it all sometimes. I sometimes wish I could just go back to the fantastic outdated afternoons, although I know that isn’t possible in this week’s world plus that I just need to roll with the changes. I used to just have a…

I do not want to deal with slow moving or jammed drains! Having a backup in the sink, tub or toilet creates a horrible mess, possible property disfigurement and even potential health risks… I make every effort to keep my home’s drains clear of debris to maximize flow to the sewer. I have invested into…

My sibling is almost 5 years younger than I am, and he could not believe I was going to be an HVAC professional. It was strange that a lady became an HVAC professional, but I didn’t know I would become a spectacle to the family. My sibling laughed at me and thought I was some…

My roommate thought it was so cool that he can now change the thermostat settings from his cellphone. The apartment is a nightmare. Well, not totally a nightmare but it’s super freezing in it. Outside of the disgusting trash mess that my roommate leaves throughout the apartment, the air conditioning is running 24/7. I don’t…

I believe a contemporary look will work well and to be honest, any other furniture would also work for his apartment because the aged stuff needed to go away I surprised my brother Max with a more current home office set for his birthday! Max was so blown away by the gift that he is…

Coming from a small neighborhood and moving to the town is a major transition… Not only did I have to get used to having people living so close to me, I had to acclimate to using an Heating and Air Conditioning system all the time so that I would have fresh air in my home….

We made it through the craziest part of the Carnaval celebration, however there are still two more days to go before my fantastic friend and I get back to normal in this town. People come from all over the world for the ten day celebration here and a lot of the locals get exhausted of…

I am hungry, and ready to eat my pear and yogurt breakfast soon, which will be followed by a frigid ocean swim to shake my mind up quickly. I don’t love to drink a lot of coffee, so taking these swims is a nice counterpart to this and it is a natural way to charge…

I have chased fun for over fifty years now, so I will keep doing so till I can’t chase any longer. I have tried to do numerous other things, it almost feels like I have lived a few lives. At the age of 38 I opted to throw my life a giant curveball as well…

Grandfather doesn’t care about new-age technology. What does that mean? It means anything that was made after the 1990s is hot garbage to him. Well, that’s what he says. It’s constantly along the lines of, “Things are not made the same when I was younger.” I get it, he drove good cars that were like…

I’m actually ahead of the game this year. And I think I understand now why people get prepared for Summer early. Not only does it feel good to be prepared but I love the fact that I’m not scrambling to get the air conditioning tune up done. This is normally the full extent of my…

I have one cat leaning on my leg now as I type, my girl cat named Baby, because I had to put her brother Fat Boy in the kitchen so she could eat some of the food I gave them. Fat Boy enjoys food and he usually eats more than Baby, leaving her hungry and…

My spouse is obsessed with getting a deal. When my associate and I need something upgraded at the condo he always scours the clearance inventory to see if there is something that will work. The most discouraging thing he does this with is appliances. I don’t think I can ever recall owning a brand new…

We were having a lot of trouble in our marriage, and I was thinking it could be because of the HVAC system. We hadn’t had zone control in the house, and I knew I was being unreasonable about changing the thermostat all the time. I was going through menopause and couldn’t decide if I was…

So this is the time of year when I definitely get my learning as well as house chores done. It’s mid July as well as where I live, you better have a hobby indoors at this time of year… The only time it’s okay for me to get out of the air conditioner is the…
