Sometimes cold air. Sometimes just air.
If it's 86, it's probably just air. I know what the problem is. ...hold on let me go find the file. Brb

I couldn't find that file but boy did I get lost in some other nice memory ones.

Once a year when I lived in Florida the AC guy whose name was mark would have to come out and replace something that was $60 and then it would blow cold for another year. I I think it was a conductor

I figured out that the file I need is probably back where the spiders in the basement now apparently like to hang out.

And I have a tank top on.

I'm very sorry washing machine

Do you have to troubleshoot before calling home warranty? I just call them and let them send out an A/C guy to figure it out.

I mean, maybe google it to make sure it's not a $3 problem, but the minute my problem reaches $101, I call the home warranty.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
