Not no hot water. Just the shower is not as hot as it used to be a few days ago.

Check to see if it's just that shower. I'm gonna take an educated guess and say you have a mixing valve. There is a chance your mixing valve is broken. It can be that it's letting in more cold then it should even on the hottest setting. A way around the problem (not a fix) would be to move up the scorch plug a few nothches. If you do that you just need to be aware that your shower may be able to get dangerously hot.

Maybe it is just that the cold water mixing with it is colder due the weather

Anything is possible but it's doubtful. Especially since you said it was working a few days ago. It's most probably a worn out o ring. It's actually not that uncommon. Either way it would be cool if someone started a DIY thread.

I don't sin, I give myself opportunities to repent.

I'd go see a shrink first if I still remembered 18 years later where I saw a roach. :)

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I vividly remember a roach in the slaw from a local supermarket from ~20 years ago.

PSA; Don't ever watch the food being prepared if you want to eat it.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Did they kasher the string bean pot?
Was the Roach roasted or par boiled?
Lots of variables here. It's a good question though.

Chances are they never cleaned the pot. Probably still using the same oil.
