Anyone for random non-sex (but occasionally sex) chat on the thread here?

Morning Court, hope everyone is well
Today/ this week, I ask you eloquent courtiers to provide some advice in something you’re expert in for us all
Don’t underestimate yourself, you’re probably expert in tens of areas
And feel free to share advice even if it’s of tangential relevance, sometimes it can be satisfying to learn about something very random

This isn't so much "expertise" but more of a handy "hack."

Have you ever had to repair PVC piping (such as changing a supply valve to your sink etc) and couldn't get the water to stop dripping, to make a good glue joint?

If so, pull a chunk of cheap, store bought white bread from the center of the slice, roll it tightly into a ball, shove it into the end of the piping, quickly dry it, glue it, and make your repair.
When the water pressure is restored, it'll soften the bread and push it through with no problem....
I was 50 before I was shown this trick and wish I'd learned it while in my teens.

It may not be expert advice, but I have learned through experience that one should always be wearing clean underwear when going to see the doctor.

Good morning Court. I hope Monday finds you all well and rested, ready for a new week of tending to the Queen's business.

Or no underwear at all...
Funny story...
The boat company sent me in for a physical and it didn't cross my mind to go put on underwear, as I'd never stripped for a DOT Physical...
They gave me a gown to put on, told me to lay on the exam table and the Dr would be in soon...
The Dr and nurse came in and the Dr grabbed the gown, flipped it up, jumped back and with a thick Cajun accent, exclaimed "No draaaws!!!"
Me... "No, Doc, no drawers."
The nurse's expression was comical.

Likewise, DeeDee!
I hope you had a great weekend!

Oh my! So it has not been just me struggling this past week! I do hope everyone is well.

No, it was *that* kind of week in many corners of our little kingdom, it seems.

Sorry you’ve not had a great week last week either, Jack
Hope it improves for you, and for everyone

Another plumbing related piece of advice: if, like me, you don't know wtf you're doing don't try to replace a shower regulator valve. Just call a plumber.

Did it turn into a water canon?
