Rhizzo, I fully understand where you have been, and I wish you so much goodness. I hope everything get's much better for you as soon as possible. You are missed and many times this forums is missing a knowledgable person as you about pests. You are too humble to accept the fact that the only one that seems to know pest as well around here is you, along with use of bad chemicals.. Mike..:-) Jane, take care.Hope your well..Thanks for past help. Mike Mike

And lets get THIS one off the top of the list!! Please, people-- if it's that urgent that I see a particular post, shoot me an email! My email address shows up in every post I put up, and I check it every time I get on line. Keep in mind-- I do this free of charge, and I DO have other things going on in my life. Every time a new thread like this is added, it unnecessarily knocks another thread off the last page.

Shelf life on a hot water heater is 15-20 years so yours has had a good life It would be cost effective to replace it. That said it sounds like you may have sediment in your lines that is slowing things down. I would venture to guess the bathroom with the most hot water is/was the one least used. So that would lead I am sure to how to fix it and that would depend on many thing like the age of your plumbing and what kind of pipes they are. There are a few things you might be able to have a plumber do but not many so your water lines may need replaced also. If you got a home owners warranty when you bought your home it may cover both the tank and any water line replacement Good luck Amy

Dry here in western MD -- not affecting established trees w/deep roots yet, but certainly beginning to affect planted row crops & gardens. I even had alittle frost damage the other morning (thermometer said 34F at eye-level) on the sprout-tips of sensitive, low-hanging stuff like sourwood. Shaping up as perhaps similar to last summer -- cool w/a bit less than avg rain & zero tropical moisture.
