CO death in newly built home

[wforsyth]

No, it was clearly you stating that you do them either a month or week. I remember being rather astounded that even you had become that bold. But then again, it was right after you decided you weren't getting enough love on the board and masqueraded as Bryan lynn to get your groupies to post all over the board about how much they missed you and regretted not telling you more.

I found the search function. Funny thing is, there are all sorts of people that agree with me. They just forget from time to time:

Since you think we should rely on something other than beliefs...(though I consider this impossible)
What objective standard should we use to determine when we have found the right something?

P.S. It good to have you bask as part of the discussion. Hope your not working too hard.

As I said, your reading comprehension is lacking tonight. But, again, feel free to post the link if you ever find it. You won't.

Who said anything about having any number of people who believe you? Nice segue to another different since you can't prove anything about your current subject. Anyway, I even stated, twice no less, that I've always given you the benefit of the doubt. But when you jump into the deep end, sometimes you have to learn to swim on your own.

Oh my goodness! Tell me it isn't so!

You aren't believing your own stories now are you?

Be honest. Bryan Lynn is your cat right? Dog? Hamster?

Oh, and thanks for the "kudos", however I am doing just fine without your "benefit" and am more than busy actually doing things instead of making them up and posting thousands of posts for my groupies.

Gosh, you even are contradicting yourself now. When I called you out on Bryan Lynn before, you chided me for being gullible and for not knowing like "everyone else" that you had only been fooling and that there wasn't really a Bryan Lynn.

Yikes! Watch out! You're gonna trip!

Or drown in your own muck. YUCK!

Oh, and I still like you alot Russel. Just pleeeeeeease don't treat me like I'm gullible and dependant on your approval like the other 94.

[wforsyth]

I just had the horrible realization that Bryan Lynn is your "alter ego"!

Gosh, that is getting spookier by the minute.

As my employees know, I believe my own stories, but they always are free to prove me wrong. When they do, they get rewarded appropriately (tickets to the Zoo, movies, restaurants, Legoland, Sea World, Wild Animal Park, Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Magic Mountain, days off, bonuses). Sometimes they even do prove me wrong. That shouldn't be a surprise since I am human. Duh. Still waiting for the link to my post, though.

I wish I had a dog. Don't have a hamster. Never have. Do have two aquariums full of fish. And there is a stray black cat that has been coming around the past few days. Jim and I are trying to get it to stay, and I think we're succeeding. It's very friendly, talks a lot, and purrs. Unfortunately, it likes the hood of the cars when we come home; can't do cat scratches on cars, so we've had to put towels on the hood. Kitty apparently doesn't like towels; that's good.

Perhaps because you don't have any groupies?

And it's not even Halloween. However, it is Christmas, and the way these Christians fight each other for parking spots, PS3s, etc., for Christmas presents, well, that's spooky.

I have lots of groupies. I keep trying to leave and they keep asking me not to.

Fortunately I don't call them groupies. I call them friends.

Was wondering btw. How did you get Ainspect to okay you putting this link on your website when it's all copyrighted?

I looked at that info on their website and wanted to use it, but didn't think I could because of the copyright.http://www.ainspect.com/ur_home/

Since the thread is now officially hijacked...

Why do you slam christians and women and then get upset when people write to you slamming gays?

When have you tried to leave? I remember a lot of people asking you to leave.

So your friends are groupies? Hmmmmmmmm. That certainly explains a lot.

Ainspect hosts my web site. As part of the hosting agreement, they provide certain benefits. However, due to their inability to make updates in a timely fashion (it should not take five work days--they don't work on Saturday or Sunday, nor do they work any hours other than 8-5--and even that's debateable--to change $249 to $259).

And that's probably true. You can get them to host your web site, though. However, even for you, I would not recommend them due to their inability to make changes in a timely manner.

I don't.

However, the facts are the facts. Read the newspaper. Oh. I forgot. Your reading comprehension needs a little work. Nevermind. Perhaps you can watch and listen to the news. I know for some people pictures help.

I've been a Christian, and I have Christian family and friends, so I can speak to their actions, especially when I see it happen.

I've never slammed women since I came out in 1993. I grew up in a Southern culture where women were supposed to be "barefot and pregnant" and "in the kitchen." Of course, as a minority myself. Generally, though, since I'm not a woman, and never have been, I can't speak for women outside of what I read and hear.

Please feel free to provide a link to my post where I've slammed women. I suspect it's right after the post where I stated that I do 2,500 inspections a week.

I am gay, so I can speak to that. People who are not gay generally cannot. I've also not been black or Jewish, so I can't speak about them. I've also not been a dog or a cat, so I won't speak about them either, other than to say that I prefer dogs to cats since dogs don't jump up on the hood of my car.

[Russel Ray]

By the way, I believe "christians" should always be capitalized, like this: "Christians."

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I've been wrong before. Duh.

[wforsyth]

I personally think Christ should always be capitalized, not christians. We are honoring him, not them.

More people asked me to stay than asked me to leave so I stayed. I took a poll.

BTW,

not going to chase around looking for things you say. I don't need to prove it, you know what you have said and haven't said. No big deal to me if you don't remember.

In another part of the house, I thought I smelled gas. I called the buyer's agent and she called the gas company while I turned everything off. The gas company called me since they knew I was a home inspector (courtesy of the buyer's agent) and told me to turn the gas off at the meter. So I did.

Several days later the buyer's agent called to tell me that the gas company didn't detect any gas leaks or carbon monoxide, and the HVAC guy also didn't detect any abnormal levels of carbon monoxide. She did tell me that the HVAC guy told her that when houses are vacant for a long time or when the furnace isn't used in a long time, initial start-up will result in higher levels of carbon monoxide, as might have been the case when I started it in a property that had been vacant for six months.

So everyone went on their merry little way, but my Clients did put up smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in all the areas where my Interactive Report System advised them to. I went to their housewarming party and have followed up with them a couple of times since then. No problems.

So go figure. A home inspection, though, is not, and should not if one is concerned about one's liability, the final authority on the home.

Educate, educate, educate.

My local gas company had to perform mandatory testing on old gas lines and meters at my home. The tech shows up with a vacuum based gas detector to "sniff" at the gas pipe /unions....nothing.... Well that was a surprise...since I had "smelled" gas before...
I take out my Tiff 8800 and show the tech what my "little toy" can do and zzzzoooooowwwwww beep beep beep .... He tells me .....I want one of them....

Both should always be capitalized. They both are proper names.

That's funny.

That's what I thought. Couldn't find it, could you? Perhaps because it simply doesn't exist. It's okay to admit that you couldn't find it. I won't hold it against you. Won't even give you a red box unless you want one. But you have to ask nicely.
