When you go to dump it, it won't be worth one Penney more than my stock C7.

OP, there is no cure. Flare-ups come and go randomly and in varied intensities.

When the guy that drives the "magic brown truck" starts to call you by name, like he's known you all his life. . . . . That means you've laid a good foundation for more fun.

Just don't let the misses know what it all costs. I made that mistake once and it cost me a remodel of the master bath.

And I thought the master bath was fine like it was. . .
