It must be Boxing day -- I'm ready to hit something.
1. Our car is still burning a quart of oil every week or so.
2. The bathroom sink -- the gasket that held the metal pipe that goes down from the drain to the S-trap rotted off completely. It does solve the "the gasket is dripping when you use the sink" problem, but introduces the "water gushes out of where the gasket had been if you use the sink" problem.
3. Lis's computer wouldn't boot. So she got some boot/rescue CDs. And one of them overwrote the FAT, as well as some other files. We don't know which files it overwrote, of course, because, as far as her computer knows, it doesn't have ANY files on it.
