Aw, bummer. My dad doesn't get into the personal insults of that nature - particularly since he's responsible for the short and squat portion of my genetic code, but he's super big on penny pinching and I get regular lectures on how I should never go on vacation or buy anything I don't absolutely need. And my place is never clean enough for my folks, no matter what I do. Plus I have to hide all the alcohol or he pouts.
However! A key development in the outlet saga is that I checked it one more time before bed last night and suddenly noticed a small spring on the counter. And I'm betting that spring was supposed to go under the reset button that I already put on there and now can't get off. And possibly that is contributing to my problem?
