would anyone like a condo-burst-pipe update? - Andie Jan 15, 06:04 8
- Sounds like a silver lining to the burst. Hopefully everything still keeps going well. -- nm - spamlet Jan 15, 06:54
- make sure they actually replace any soaked beams drywall. You don't want mold growing in there if they just repaint -- nm - decline Jan 15, 06:14 2
  - beams 'or' drywall -- nm - decline Jan 15, 06:14 1
    - that seems to be the plan, but i will confirm, for sure. -- nm - Andie Jan 15, 06:16
- are they repainting *all* of the bedroom walls or just the damaged ones. "the paint won't match. the old stuff is faded." nice job! -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda, 778 Jan 15, 06:10 1

        I agree with that, but also think Snowden is as well. -- nm - Inigo Jan 15, 06:33 6
        
        I have a problem with this. How is someone outing a traitor called a traitor for doing so? - ty97 Jan 15, 06:42 5
        
        Because he took the job for the express purpose of betrayal. - Inigo Jan 15, 06:55 4
        
        Look at how Congress has reacted to the leak. That's all the proof you need to realize that avenue was unavailable -- nm - ty97 Jan 15, 07:04 1
        
        The avenue is there. Snowden admitted to it. It might be ineffectual, but it's there. -- nm - Inigo Jan 15, 07:06

  - You'd think he'd try to push the envelope, ya? - Strongbad Jan 15, 05:29 1
