    If it's cold enough you still have to be careful since the "drop" can freeze into a column and then you have the backup/burst risk again. I'm certainly not speaking from experience.

      LOL. Had this happen once with a light snowfall and then the shoveling turned it all into a crispy, green-flecked carpet of grass-snow. Quite gorgeous and really bizarre.

        I get the stalagmite formation where the high-efficiency natural gas furnace exhausts from the side of the house. The nat-gas the last few years has been really "wet" and I'm out there about every two weeks in the core winter months hammering away to keep the exhaust clear.

          Huh. What is in that exhaust steam? Is it just hot moist air or are there chemicals in it that are going to turn your pee fluorescent?

            Just moisture condensing from the nat-gas exhaust.

            Most of it condenses and goes down the drain at the furnace (condenser in exhaust system; furnace room cooler than flue gas); however, whatever doesn't condense exhausts outside. Let's just say the dew/condensation point outside might be a tad lower than in the house so any remaining moisture in the exhaust gas immediately condenses, drips off the exhaust pipe, and 'stalagmite'.

              Finally getting a job in my field, 13.5 years after I graduated from NMU: Anti-List. New job is working with autistic kids age 2 to 10. Still have to pass training, an observation, and a 90 day evaluation period, but soon enough, I'll be finally working in psychology/mental health/social work.

                Not being able to use vacation in place of unpaid time off is on The List. I could have done it before my short term disability, but now I can't. I guess it isn't the worst thing to happen to me this year, but it's annoying that I thought I could get a full paycheck, and I can't.

                  I expected they'd make you burn out vacation before making you take unpaid.

                    Yeah, I don't get that either. Even if you want to bank vacation time, at worst you can still pad it with unpaid.

                    Me no understand.

                    BTW, everybody knows to use all your vacation and PTO time before you quit, right? I've never worked anywhere where you can monetize it.

                    Your employer took your time. Take his money.

                      We're not REQUIRED. We can, but that at point, I thought I'd only be out a little while and I didn't want to go the rest of the year without vacation. We are required to use all sick time before taking unpaid.

                        I've never worked anywhere I couldn't monetize it (vacation yes, sick time no).

                        If I know I'm leaving an employer I'll bank as much vacation as I can, wait for my next salary action, and then resign. I get paid out for old hours on the new higher rate.

                        All that said, that money ends up being pseudo-vacation between old job and new job.

                              Huh. Different businesses I guess. This is not the first time I've gleaned that in my biz we get a little screwed.

                                I bought an artificial Christmas tree 3 years ago. A year ago, the lights malfunctioned. Some of them stay on after the tree is switched off, and they're not the correct colors. I contacted the company last year, and they said they would send a new one (it was under warranty), but parts were back ordered, so they didn't know when it would be sent. A few months later, they sent the top piece. I've heard nothing else, so I contacted them again.... and the brand was sold, but not the company, so they say they are not responsible for warranties from the previous company.
