That would greatly help their business by word of month. Wouldn't that be great? Is their time greater than ours. I think not. Maybe you shouldn't have gotten me started on the waiting for repair people. <br /><br />On behalf of the ABC Wed. team, thanks for participating.lv2scpbkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05727591726116331492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920306086483142224.post-42734581040781733342010-06-22T22:00:12.069-04:002010-06-22T22:00:12.069-04:00How about the ones that want to chat for an hour o...How about the ones that want to chat for an hour once they arrive.

Berowne, I used to be married to a plumber and it seems that it is part of the screening process to become a plumber one must exhibit a keen ability to be vague about times, costs and scope of the problem.
