Mundane reality (This is a list, not an opinion)

 A box full of goodies is gone.
I have a terrible memory so I don't remember exactly what was in the box.

Blood pressure meter

3/8 socket set

A new box of 13-gallon trash-bags (100 or so)

----

outside the box

Torchiere floor lamp was broken (I bought a new one)

The socket set I replaced with a new set

The bathtub soap tray has a chunk missing (something real heavy must've hit it)

My 10-inch wall clock is gone

All the fire alarms are gone.

My laundry close to the TV was very moldy and needed to be thrown away. Maybe 20lbs of clothes.

I will prolly never see the missing stuff again, 

My toilet never leaked before and I don't use any chemicals in the tank, for fear of messing up the "Flapper" (drain-plug) but now the flapper was warped and had blue scum on it, so I bought a couple flappers ($20) and installed one.

Summary:

Missing items after paintjob:

Fire detectors

"OMRON Platinum Blood Pressure Monitor" $84+tax

The replaced socket set was $45 or so

The replaced Trash bags, $20

The replaced Lamp, $26

The clock was replaced @ $10

I keep waiting for some guy to show up and say where they stuck the missing box.
They had the nerve to use my address to receive bills, I got one and sent it back unopened.

Well hope springs eternal, right?
Parenthetically, no one is monitoring my blood pressure, and if *I* ever did, I'd pay more for the model that also has EKG, $163, although the EKG in the commercial on TV looks nice too, $79.

PPSS Apparently my kidneys are dying a quick death, or the lab screwed up.
I'll edit this soon.

6L max Pro GT, and then of course there's 7, 7Pro, 7Pro Max, 

"Join us, Join us"

When I'm dead my dearest,

Send the bills away from me,

Do not hound my soul for eternity.

My estate is money free.

Did I mention that disease is profitable? Meters, equipment, but I'm not here to rant, only to suddenly window-shop for a disease-meter I only found out about today.

I like "Facelake", and the one for over twice as much looks nice too.
But let's be real, "$265"??

I was wrong, "ACR" testers are so freaking high you could never afford one.

O well. 

The problem (as I see it) is, your kidneys don't wait 3 months to change (good or bad)

and a meter would be nice.

I will keep looking.
