My Dream Man

The pipes under my kitchen sink are leaking. I need my J-bend and P-trap replaced. My handyman says it's not the kind of job he's comfortable doing, and referred me to a plumber. The plumber was going to do it today but had to reschedule because of an emergency call. So now I'm going another week with Flex Tape on my pipes and a bucket under the sink, just in case. I feel like a teenager in a dorm, not a grown-ass woman with an AARP card and a mortgage.

And so I'm dreaming of Fred Mertz.The Riccardo's landlord was always available. He could fix plumbing and wiring and doorbells and windows and even helped Lucy out when she asked him to even out the legs on her sofa.

If you happen to see Fred Mertz, tell him I love him.

  1. Getting a good repair tech, especially a plumber, when you need one is always a challenge. I hope you can get everything fixed soon.

  2. I am mightily impressed that you know the J-bend and P-trap even exist.
