The guy that does that make-safe job for the insurance company I bet enjoys his job. Seems kind of fun to deal with random off-the-wall problems that are temporary patch jobs rather than the tediousness of constructing something pretty and brand-new. I'm sorry you have had this trouble. There is a sickly-slimy feeling of violation whenever something like that happens.

In the seven days leading up to Friday when he did mine he'd done 70 make-safe's. (We've had storms.) He must earn a packet. Judging by his tools (the quality of them) I'd say a little more than a packet. (I tried to steal some...was unsuccessful.)
It's not something I need right now all things considered, but it's life and I'll roll with it. Yeah, the feeling of having one's space intruded upon isn't nice...I just wish I was there when it was happening...
You are one of those rock personalities, and that is wonderful. Everyone needs a rock in their lives, and how nice to be one so that you don't need one.
I'll take that as the compliment (I think) it was meant to be. Thank you.
Ha, yes, it was a compliment. I had a conversation just tonight with my teenaged niece about rocks. She has a fair amount of anxiety. Somehow the genetics that I got skipped my sister and ended up in my niece. We are very similar. She talked about needing people to help her cope with anxiety, like in a moment of panic how she would seek out a friend to calm her. It is great to have those solid rock people that do not waver in your life, but it is also really important to be sure some part of you is that way too. You can't be sure there will always be a friendly rock around to support you.
I hope your niece can deal with her anxiousness; it's good she has someone to lean on though, a friend to calm her down - I hope she finds it within herself to do that though, moving forward.
It is in deed, solid-rock-people can make a lot of wrong things right for so many...and yes, even rock-people need rock-people sometimes. A rock-person who says he/she doesn't...is lying.
