Make Cool Nice Again

This old gal…

Got to see her plumber friends…for the third time in two weeks…day one in Little Cottage…kitchen sink blew a gasket…hose ripped and water poured in the cabinet…instead of the sink…toilets don’t flush…and the washing machine hose…overflows…you know…those little things that pop up…when you move into a new place…

Nice guys…these plumbers…chatted while they worked…one married to a teacher…the other…used to be married to a teacher…one owns a big boat…the other used to have a dirt bike…one is a seasoned plumber…the other in training…

Gave this old gal pointers…for dealing with older plumbing…what toilet paper to use…what toilet paper NOT to use…

We chatted…as I wrote out the check…they don’t take cards…it’s easier that way…and they thanked us…for being nice…I grew up in the day…where you respected people…and had empathy…says one…it’s not that way anymore…

How sad…that it’s come to this…that being kind is the exception…so much so…that men…capable men who probably don’t take crap off anyone…have to say thank you…for being nice…

Come on, friends…we can do this…let’s work together…and make nice cool again…
​
And I bet…we all…agree…
