The Vent

[Delicia 1]

My dad is so stupid sometimes!

our kitchen sink is clogged and so last night I went and got which specifically says do NOT put more than a tablespoon per application and do a max of two applications in total.

So I did that last night (two applications) cuz it wouldn't budge

well, I go down this morning to see if I can play with it some more and find that my Drano can is EMPTY!!!

My dad put the WHOLE CAN DOWN THE SINK so now, not only is there whatever was clogging it in the first place, there's WHOLE CAN of drano adding to the clog

Ok I have this problem too Liz. My sink has been clogged for months in the bathroom. I have even taken an old toothbrush of my son's(cause its tiny) and triedshoving it down there to get whatever it is out. Well it dont work, so don't ever anyone try this. I didnt get it stuck there. I haven tried all kinda of drain cleaners and nothing works. Anyone know of anything else? I bought 1 of those toilet snake thingys, but its a bathroom sink thats clogged and the snake doesnt fit down there.

Try filling the sink and then using the plunger on the drain hole. Sometimes the back pressure is enough to loosen whatever is there

Yep, the plunger is often all you need for the tub.

Also, if you ever have a toddler flush a kermit sitting in a rubber boat kind of tub toy or a couple of those super sized legos down the toilet, a couple days of plunging the toilet will force kermit right into the waste water treatment facility too! (I always thought of some city employee working at the water treatment facility seeing kermit floating around in his boat as kind of funny.)

LOL. Thank gawd my son never did anything like that. Only thing hes ever done with the toilet was put wayyyy too much toilet paper in there when he did a #2. He used the whole roll lol. That never happened again. Its my sink that clogged. I've used everything I could think of and nothing works, so I guess I just need to take it apart and find out whats in there. I do know theres no toys down the drain. This sink is really old and the hole is tiny. Ok, this is starting to sound perverted, or its just me, so I'm done lol.

I try to leave it in the box as LONG as possible so that the post man might take it back.. He never does.. and my husband always throws it out.. But I agree.. it's CRAZY how many trees come down for ####### I never look at!!

Yahoo Liz!

and about the junk mail, I don't even live there yet and it's already arriving. My Sister and I opened a joint bank account down there and she says I am already receiving credit card applications.

The bank sold my address - how rude.

Check the fine print if you don't want to get them.. there is often an "opt out" clause there somewhere - a 1-800-bite me number to call to opt out of future applications (unless you love getting the 19.5% interest with a 45$ yearly fee offer)

I hear ya! It's unbelieveable how much ####### mail we get. Of course, what you could do is open the envelope (if it's a stuffed envelope solicitation) and mail back the return envelope to the sender...empty. They have to pay the return postage and if it's empty...oh well! Maybe they'll get the message.

Telemarketers on my CELL PHONE is what irritates the poo out of me!

All those Nigerian email scams in my inbox...now that irritates me too.

Oh! You just reminded me! If you want to be placed on the Do Not Call registry for (5) years call 1-888-382-1222. You have to call from the cell # that you want to block in order for it to work. I think it takes a month for it to become effective. Or you can go to www.donotcall.gov to register online.

Gotta run. I'm leaving for Ontario now!!!

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!

Hate to say it but that's not the best BFF. We have a great friend who is always around to help, and we help back. We are very close with him and he's a great guy. However EVERY other person or time in my life has burned me because I am too nice and generous.

Friendships no longer exist. People use us when it is convenient for them and ditch us when it is convenient for them.

Oh so true, but I never thought THIS friend would turn fair-weather! So noted, now moving on....

I forgot to set the alarm and missed going to the gym

I have one word.... #######. Dump her azz like liz did with hers.... that's just being a mean one.

Yep, I can always count on you to tell it like it is, eh!?! Absolutely right, we both deserve better and life's just too short.

[Doug n Amanda 0]

I totally agree. A BBF is supposed to be there no matter what. Other things can wait. Don't ever start letting people walk all over you(so to speak) cause they'll continue to do it. I learned the hard way with that one.

Mary

Speaking of BFF's.... I miss mine. Just talked to Sarah (Edmonton) and Brenda (Regina) and Carla (Mexico City) on the phone about my bro's baby and I kid you not, I miss those incoherent irreverent b!tches....

Aw, sorry.....we're here!

Between the economy, this war and the way the government has been run in general, I am really starting to get sick of GWB
