Last one to post........... Part 19

[Good Ol Gal]

This may sound odd, but check by/in the fridge and near your house phone. Sometimes, I get distracted by food or when someone calls and I put down whatever I had to pick up food and/or the phone.

our cordless was in the fridge overnight b/c of that one day.

[Good Ol Gal]

ok.. ok... ok.. I MUST go do something... I don't want to but I must.

:wave2: Hopefully I'll be able to get on here tomorrow sometime.

[Lyn5]

That does stink :hug:

I've never been to Vegas but it's someplace I would love to go to, but without the kids...so it won't happen for awhile. I think it won't be happening for me for a while too...I told DH that I hope his job wants to send him when our kids our grown...that would be a good deal then if they paid for him and I had free airfare from miles or something...I would totally tag along :goodvibes

[Lyn5]

we checked in the bathroom,bedroom under every couch/sofa and chair we checked the cars 3 times,but guess what??????

[ckckc2000]

we checked in my car one more time and sure enough there it was-and I checked it twice and DS checked it,so I don't know where it was hiding but it was way way way stuck under the passenger chair :thumbsup2

I'm just relieved to have found it-and the puppies were famished/parched and filthy-but happy once again :cheer2:

[ckckc2000]

Lyn too bad you can't go with DH to Vegas-I've heard the Venetian Hotel is something else :guilty:

but I would have problems leaving my kids too,especially at the age your kids are :rolleyes:

too funny we both said Yippie!!!! Thanks Pam,are you feeling better???

[tubachick]

yup!!!! just about 100%!!! ( I can eat real food again-- good sign!) I was pretty bumbed last weekend that I got sick, but it ended up being nice anyway. It was sunny and in the 80's so inbetween naps and being sick I sat on the patio at CBR in the sunshine. and monday I got to go to AK and MGM for a bit. I'm just sorry that I was passed out and sleeping when Kelli called on Saturday.

Thanks for asking.

not morbid-just something you have to think about as a parent!!! We have the same thoughts that's why we always take the kids with us :rolleyes:

We grilled out tonight. It was such a nice day that I just had to! And it was so nice to be able to leave the kitchen door open while I went back and forth to the grill. (Last time we grilled out we had to keep shutting the door quickly so that snow didn't blow in!)

[eeyoresmountainpals]

I'm in the home stretch for finishing but I've gotten sleepy so I'll finish them tomorrow. Don't know yet what, if any, we'll get back. We usually get some back on federal and have to pay some on state. DH works off duty work and is paid cash and gets a 1099 and this year he made a lot more than the last couple of years. So I doubt we'll get much back if we do get a refund.

Hello...


Hi Jake! :wave2:

[eeyoresmountainpals]

It's good to be back.


We sure have missed you!

[Lyn5]

G'Night everyone. I'm tired.
Oh My! I didn't think anyone was still up, except maybe Kim.

:wave2: goodnight Jake...nice to see you are alright...take care and I am so sorry for about your Grandmother and doggie :grouphug:

[eeyoresmountainpals]

Last!


Doesn't it feel good to get a "LAST" in here!

[eeyoresmountainpals]

not in my house...now that you reminded me I don't hear my washer and dryer....time to switch loads :crazy:

http://bonanzaworld.net/wash.gif


I didn't even try to count how many loads I did today! I've even got a load of whites soaking in bleach overnight tonight.

[eeyoresmountainpals]

G'Night everyone. I'm tired.


Goodnight Jake! :wave2:

[Lyn5]

You are so brave to do your own taxes....I am scared to do them myself :blush:

[ckckc2000]

Hi Lyn!!! :wave2:

and ever since I noticed we aren't getting much of a return I've yet to finish our taxes with turbotax-we just have to re-confirm a few items then I'm done :rolleyes:

[eeyoresmountainpals]

You are so brave to do your own taxes....I am scared to do them myself :blush:


Ours are pretty simple. I've always done them.

Maybe someday we'll make lots and lots of money and have lots and lots of investments and then I'll need an accountant! :lmao:

At one point in college my major was accounting. I love number crunching!

[ckckc2000]

You are so brave to do your own taxes....I am scared to do them myself :blush:
We use to do them with H+R Block,but the turbotax it's nearly the same computer program and it's super easy to do-now next year when we move????

I might have to get an accountant to look them over-but I figure aas long as we purchase another home and put a big down payment on it we should be OK-but we'll see

[eeyoresmountainpals]

Well, it is time for me to head to bed. I am really tired.

Goodnight Kim! :wave2:

Goodnight Lyn! :wave2:

Hope to see you tomorrow.

[Lyn5]

I didn't even try to count how many loads I did today! I've even got a load of whites soaking in bleach overnight tonight.
I can't imagine how much you must do with 3 boys! plus a DH :scared: :faint: my DH has so many pants/jeans to wash...and I do so much with the kids...but they still wear little clothes and little undies :sad2:

[ckckc2000]

good-night Kathy :wave2:

[ckckc2000]

I need to do more wash-but we have a holding tank and it's a wee bit expensive to empty

with our next house I want a septic tank!!! Then I can do wash all the time,right now it's just what is needed-no more :rolleyes:

Goodnight Lyn! :wave2:

Hope to see you tomorrow.
:wave2:

Kim, it may be worth it when you sell your house to talk to someone...you want to make sure you don't pay any taxes when you sell...you probable qualify for the 2 year thing...

exactly-there's all sorts of rules/laws for when you move-I think the last time we moved we did a capital gains thinging and didn't have to pay any taxes-so I know we'll be going to a accountant at least for next year ::yes::

[ckckc2000]

We have a septic... and I haven't had any problems...around here there are a lot of them outside of the main towns.
we can't have a septic-unless we want to pay 30-40,000!!

Our lot is all backfilled and no natural soul to be found,so it has to be a self contained unit-big big bucks-so it's a holding tank for us :guilty:

[Lyn5]

yep! I think when you have changes, a good accountant will save you more than what you pay him. I know our accountant is really awesome, he was my Dad's friend since forever...and he knows what is alright for us to claim on our childcare and education (DH) expenses...I wouldn't even know where to start. :confused3

[ckckc2000]

yah-the hardest part for us will be finding a good accountant-being the new guys on the block,I'll have to ask some co-workers :rolleyes:

[ckckc2000]

I just hope our house sells by Aug 1st!!! we have a bunch of houses in our neighborhood up for sale right now(4)-and we have the best and biggest lot of them all-it should be interesting to see how we do-

but either way we're moving come Aug 1st-I have to get the kids settled in where-ever we live by the 14th when school starts :thumbsup2

[Lyn5]

Our lot is all backfilled and no natural soul to be found,so it has to be a self contained unit-big big bucks-so it's a holding tank for us :guilty: YIKES!!!! around here they cost around a third or so of that to construct...and around here most everything is more expensive (or it seems that way :rolleyes: )...

[ckckc2000]

:rolleyes1

[ckckc2000]

I know-it's usually not too expensive here either-around 10,000 for a big mound system-but since we have all fill in our lot it's a big cost,so we're stuck with a holding tank :guilty:

wish you lived closer I could have you take a look at the situation :rolleyes:

[ckckc2000]

The thing I don't understand is there's already a septic tank in our lot-a failed one,but they say we can't replace it-why?????? who knows but the holding tank is hooked up thru it now and everyone I've talked to says it can't be replaced-must be some kind of local law

[Lyn5]

well, soon it will all be in the past :goodvibes along with your stinky BIL in the basement and the super cold winters :thumbsup2

[ckckc2000]

well, soon it will all be in the past :goodvibes along with your stinky BIL in the basement and the super cold winters :thumbsup2
It will all be a Bad memory-can't wait!!!!!!

:cool1: come on July or August-hurry up and get here

[ckckc2000]

I am not sure about your situation and laws....but when you look at the national plumbing code (so not the my state rules) there are some requirements where a property must have enough room in the yard or property to have two full size absorption bed or trenches...in case one fails you have room to build a second..so this must happen quite often in some areas.

I think many times it depends on the soil on the property and what was put into the system....so if the septic system failed, it may not have been the tank itself, which could probable be dug up and replaced...but the absorption areas where the fluid goes is what has failed...so now the soil can't take in anymore liquid and properly drain effluent and clean it. It could be that the organisms that usually digest the fluid don't function anymore or maybe the previous owner dumped cooking oil down the drain too many times :confused3 Replacing your system may involve installing a larger tank and hauling out the old soil and bringing in new soil or installing a special kind of tank. Around here there are many wells that people install, so if you are within 1000 ft of a public well you need an expensive system installed (or more expense than the standard one). Soil with poor drainage qualities also will increase the size of the absortion area and therefore the expense.

[Lyn5]

sorry, reread your qoute...the septic tank is still seperating the waste (solids and the liquid part) that comes in from your house and then the liquid goes into the holding tank. In your case it sounds like the holding tank is replacing what an absorption field or absorption trenches would normally do....so it isn't the septic tank that failed...it was the soil itself. And so if you took a ton of laundary in a weekend, the water can't drain fast enough and then you would need to have the tank pumped or it would get stinky...is what I am thinking based upon what you said.

sounds about right-our well is in the front yard most likely less than a 1000 feet. And our neighbors system has failed but they keep using it and the ground get saturated-disgusting and if the wind blows the wrong way it's very smelly

and the DNR has been around looking to see who's contaminating the ground water of the ponds below our house and hasn't found it yet-hello just look up the hill there's a path all the way up it where there stupid waste is draining out into the woods

I should report them when we move-it's really a bad situation-raw sewage in the back yard

[ckckc2000]

:thumbsup2 that's it-we found that out when we had a blockage no one could roto-rooter out(snake)
the septic is still intact,although the drainage-like the neighbors has failed

and can you believe when they connected the holding tank to the septic they put a 90 degree bend in the drainage pipe-we had the blockage discovered there and they placed an access pipe for when it happens again

[ckckc2000]

he told us he wanted us to find the access pipe for the septic-which is buried under our patio blocks-so they could look in there and then pump that out too-we'll try and do that this spring-I think I know where the cover is,so hopefully it will be ok once we uncover the lid :thumbsup2

[ckckc2000]

and you know-the neighbors yard only floods when she does a ton of wash :scratchin

[ckckc2000]

and it's funny you mentioned it-but one year we had to replace a huge drainage pipe that leads out of the house and into the septic tank and guess what they found blocking it-cooking grease-yuck :scared: and disgusting,who would ever dump/drain their cooking grease down the drain-we use old coffe cans

[Lyn5]

Here, any bend before the septic tank requires a cleanout or access pipe...since before the tank you have solids...after the tank, in theory, there should only be liquids and so bends are allowed without a cleanout.

Now, the part about your neighbor is very disgusting :sad2: have you ever seen a smokestack on a slightly windy day...and the cloud of smoke starts out small at the smokestack and then gets wider and wider the farther away from the smokestack it gets....air is a fluid and so something similar to this is what is happening under the ground...when your neighbor's junk gets absorbed into the ground...it is sort of like a starting contanimination point and it might be flowing into the groundwater table (if it is close to it) and then it spreads out and seeps into the environment. Then, when you have a bunch of wells pumping water out, that suction is pulling the junk toward the wells and widening how far it travels...just my theory based upon no knowledge, no data and no testing :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
But, in any case, I wouldn't drink from the well unless you tested your water. We have a filter on our water, but I think overall it is somewhat clean, it comes from the County system :rolleyes:

But, there were studies done at one of our beaches...where many condo have really large cesspools...so the waste goes directly into the ground and they found that some of the male fish were becoming femine...too much estrogen in the water :eek: so, I don't take my kids swimming there anymore :rolleyes1 Almost a year ago, the EPA changed its rules so those large capacity cesspools have to be removed and septics installed.

[Lyn5]

and you know-the neighbors yard only floods when she does a ton of wash :scratchin
I have a lame joke, that I think is funny.....

whenever a friend talks about fooling around, I say, "If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, it is becuase the cesspool is overflowing" :lmao: :rotfl2: :lmao: :lmao:

my Sister :sad2: they put all sorts of food and stuff in there...when I was helping her with her new home, I factored that in :rolleyes1

[ckckc2000]

we've had our water tested when we moved in- and it better not be contaminated now-although we do use a water filter for our drinking water and we have a softner hooked in line too-it's down hill from our wells and I'm pretty sure close to a 1000ft away from our well

but it is a disgusting thing they're doing to the environment :guilty:

it is cute!!! I've actually heard a similar saying!!! :rotfl:

[ckckc2000]

the 90 degree bend is after the septic tank-so it should be legal-good to know!!! and it makes sense too,since it should be mostly water!!!

[ckckc2000]

my Sister :sad2: they put all sorts of food and stuff in there...when I was helping her with her new home, I factored that in :rolleyes1
it's just wrong what some peole dump down their drains :guilty:

[Lyn5]

well, I don't know what is legal there :confused3 but here it would be :sunny:

[ckckc2000]

well, I don't know what is legal there :confused3 but here it would be :sunny:
I bet it is here too-but the guy said it wasn't

but if the septic tank is still intact that makes perfect sense,now if it was only a holding tank-then no, a bend like that wouldn't make any sense

either way there's now a vent pipe in place to access it if it happens again

[Lyn5]

it's just wrong what some peole dump down their drains :guilty:
I am somewhat bad myself :blush: I use 409, Pinesole, Tide :blush: but, we are very far from the water table...it is probable over a thousand feet down since we are on the side of the mountain and the nearest well is more than a mile away...and that sucker is deep... We put in a system larger than we need to when we did our home ...thank goodness since some weekend I do a ton of laundary...plus I have a dishwasher :blush:

[Lyn5]

I bet it is here too-but the guy said it wasn't

but if the septic tank is still intact that makes perfect sense,now if it was only a holding tank-then no, a bend like that wouldn't make any sense

either way there's now a vent pipe in place to access it if it happens againI think it is great you have the cleanout already in....easier for the system to be maintained and it doesn't hurt anything to have it there :thumbsup2

[Lyn5]

I was just thinking...Kayla is going to wake up, read our postings and think we are :crazy: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[S. C.]

:goofy:

[ckckc2000]

I was thinking the same thing about Kayla :rotfl:

-the only reason we have a clean out pipe in place is because it got blocked and it was -30 degrees out they had to bring in a backhoe and dig up the frozen ground-it was a real mess

[ckckc2000]

but it should help in the sale of the house-easy access for whenever it happens again-that was also when the kids where little and put lots of things that didn't belong down the tiolet!!! :rolleyes:

[Lyn5]

:goofy:

yuck, that would be a mess...I bet the system must have had steam coming out too :crazy:

[ckckc2000]

yuck, that would be a mess...I bet the system must have had steam coming out too :crazy:
it did-it was embrassing to have them come dig out the blockage-I think they found a couple toys in the blockage too-but most of it was pushed thru to the holding tank

[ckckc2000]

and I bet you know what the little white mice are :blush: ?? that was really embrassing and will never happen again!!!!

[ckckc2000]

man I hate when the DIS freezes up in a middle of a good conversation :furious:

[ckckc2000]

see when they tapped into the blocked pipe-they had a mini volcano!!! and out came a couple toys and what they called white mice-yucky :blush:

[ckckc2000]

wonder if you're locked out Lyn???? It soooo frustrating when this happens pirate:

[ckckc2000]

seems to be back up to speed now-hope you're still out there lurking :rolleyes:

[ckckc2000]

:rolleyes1

[Lyn5]

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: well, now I work all day in an office :crazy: and these waste systems are, by far, not my specialty...I only help people out on occasion...but....

years ago I worked in construction...and one job we had to connect to a live 30" sewerline...the main line that fed one part of town toward the treatment area. Well, normally the water is moving so fast and it churns in the pipe so by the time you actually see it, it is a gray sludge...well, in this instance a business near where we were working connected directly into the line...so you could literally see everything in there and it was fresh...sometimes you could tell what someone had for lunch...and then there was a rat that lived in that area...and my crew spray painted him green and named him :rolleyes: and for the several days we had that thing open the green rat would come by and visit us :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: If you didn't think this was too gross, I have another story :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[Lyn5]

wonder if you're locked out Lyn???? It soooo frustrating when this happens pirate:
yep, I got locked out so I was doing other online stuff...I am back now :thumbsup2

[ckckc2000]

well I'm glad we got to talk about the septic tanks and stuff-now I understand ours better and I'm not so scared of the home inspection aspect of our sale now-I thought it would be a big red flag but really it's just a septic tank with a contained drainage bed is all :rolleyes:

[ckckc2000]

for a nurse not much is too gross-we talk shop all the time and keep on eating,while anyone else would pass out :thumbsup2

[ckckc2000]

I just felt bad for the guy it was so cold and there he was standing in our waste nearly up to his ankles til they got the pipe in place and it didn't seem to phase him at all-where I think I would just about lose it :rolleyes:

[ckckc2000]

one guy told us-(which I've never done yet) was that we could do as much wash as we wanted that if the tank overflowed it was just waste water and it wouldn't hurt too much-no way the smell would upset me too much :eek:

[ckckc2000]

:rolleyes1

[Lyn5]

for a nurse not much is too gross-we talk shop all the time and keep on eating,while anyone else would pass out :thumbsup2
wasn't sure...I freaked you out with the centepede :rolleyes1

Well, I used to work on new subdivision construction too...and until the government accepts the contruction, you aren't supposed to connect to the public utilities..so we had installed all the new infrastucture for a new subdivision and of course the building guys built a couple of model homes....well, the was no water service, so the slaes women that were in the model home during the day would put water in the toilet and then flush (since the water wasn't connected yet). This went on for around a month...and then when the line was accepted we (not me personally) had to go back into the connections and remove the plugs...that is when we found out that what they were doing :crazy: so, for a month all this ripe, raw sewage had built up in the pipe :sad2: yuck! Same thing happened last year on another type of project, and the waste was stinking up the place...someone told me that since the plug was at the bottom of the manhole and the manhole was full of waste, they were going to send in the person who screwed up to dive into the manhole and pull out the plug :rolleyes: but, in the end I think they pumped it out and then pulled the plug...that is still gross though :rolleyes2

[ckckc2000]

don't leave without telling the joke :confused3 that or you're really a slow typer(I hope,but doubt)

[Lyn5]

too funny-and gross-I can handle human gross-just hate when it comes to ugly bug gross!!!!

I've never seen a centipede the size of the ones you have-that is just wrong!!!!

[ckckc2000]

what are people thinking-that's just wrong that those girls would keep using the bathroom!!!! and the poor soul who removed the plug had a really bad day that day :rotfl:
