Of course they have no idea who called me???????? This crap gets on my nerves........

A good plumber. Stat. My kitchen sink has been backed up for days and I can barely do the few dishes I make. Plus it smells. Ick

Stone-Butch · 10-24-2016, 05:44 PM

Cinnamon girl, put lots of baking soda down the drain and then pour in slowly one cup of white vinegar, might remove junk but will definitely help with the smell. Couple times should do it. Just thought I would suggest.

Gayandgray · 10-26-2016, 07:52 PM

To hop on a raft and float away.

It's true. Run with it.

I need some peace and quiet and sleep. And for this sneezing to not turn into a cold.

LBJ · 10-26-2016, 08:13 PM

wondering if the chat room is still up and running? or just having temporary difficulties? thanks

I swear by Airborne and Emergen-C for immune boosting. They have the chewables if you are not into drinking it and Emergen-C doesn't have to be warm or hot water if you are a cold or tepid water kind of person.

Whenever I start to feel run down, I take them religiously for two or three days and if I haven't caught it fast enough, whatever I get is lessened greatly but most of the time, it's over.

Bam.

Drop the mic.

Thank you! I think it's beyond that. I got the trap off and there were fish tank rocks in there ( I have no fish) and I cleaned it real good and got it back on and still not going down. I snaked in as far as I could and got very little out. I think the vent thing is blocked. I know a very little plumbing from my uncle. Its really all so gross. I just want a boy to come do it for me.

I know I know. Reverse misogyny. I'm sorry

I want to be an uber capable girl but some things are just ICK. Sigh

Great. Now I'm going to obsess on how those rocks got in there if you don't have fish. How long have you lived there?

cinnamongrrl · 11-10-2016, 07:24 AM

For 230 to get here. Stat.

RockOn · 11-10-2016, 09:22 AM

For a shelter pooch to still be there and available for adoption when I call at 10:00. He is 7 months old and will be large. I just posted his photo in my gallery. I bet he is puppy-clumsey with those big feet. *laughing* I want to sneak him back in to work with me but think it would not be one of my brighter ideas. Heck, this lady brings a yorkie in to work in her purse all the time. Only a few people know. And she puts a barrette in the dog's hair too tight. The poor thing's eyes always go up at the corners. I am serious!!!

Keeping my fingers crossed ... hope he is still there at the shelter.

Gayandgray · 11-10-2016, 10:22 AM

I really need to get through this next year without my spouse having any major health setbacks, since I no longer have a live-in sitter. I can apply for FMLA in a year.

RockOn · 11-11-2016, 10:46 PM

Need to let it go ...

I went back to the shelter this morning. I hate to even think about it and feel quite rotten about it but after spending time in the play yard with the pup again that I intended to adopt, I backed out.

I am of the opinion this dog has more going on than pent up puppy energy. I am talking about over the top pup attention deficent. It was like I was an object he would run to, jump up, bounce off my body and go on to the next object. For almost an hour, I could not get him settled enough to actually pet him. His mind was going so fast he was incapable of having focus on anything or showing even the tiniest bit of affection. Yesterday, I thought it was just because he was in a smaller kennel in the back. And maybe that is all it is but I got uneasy today spending more time with him. If I brought him home --->>> Kevie, Jennifer and I would have to go on very heavy drugs.

I am sad for this little guy but right now I cannot deal with him. If I was retired, maybe.

I am just feeling bad about backing out. This is only the second time in my life I have done this. The other one was not too long before I adopted Jennifer. That unfortunate dog was gorgeous but born pure nuts. I knew I made the right decision by not adopting that one. She made me dizzy in the play yard.

Anyway, I have to put our sanity first.

kittygrrl · 11-12-2016, 11:56 AM

I need coffee and breakfast...then maybe ice cream
