Not so..Swearing is good for relieving tension and starting John Deere
tractors when it is -35ºF. Do keep in mind that Mothers will keep their
small children away from you while you work and swear. If you teach
their children to sing little ditties like:

There was a little Bird
No bigger then a Turd
Sitting on a telephone pole
He stretched his little neck
and shit about a peck
and puckered his little asshole

You can be assured the children will never be allowed around you again. ;-p

Call a competant service company and stop mucking around.

Its also a Heatpump thermostat. And a Lux. They have been a real problem
in the past. I do hope that has been fixed. Where is the black wire or
is that a bad question.
