I have NO idea what we will be eating.

Thinking, thinking....................

How to Unclog a Toilet Fixture
Step-By-Step

From Bob Formisano,

Do Not Use the Cup Plunger for Toilets

This is what I have. It is not working. Back to the store...

Hey Jami!

Even though you are The Fixer and I have full confidence in you....I fear you need a little assistance.

Try one of these:

 

[Grammyof2]

JAMI - sent you a PM about the toilet. Read it

 

[LaLa]

Any guesses on what my son did to me in the grocery store yesterday? Set off a chain reaction with his sister, too. Lovely. Mommy catch, again and again and again. Thank goodness the grocery cart/racecar came equipped with wet wipes, eh? Gotta love Publix.

Okay, that got my attention. A puke story.

Georgia A: I feel your pain. Remember the Wal Mart meat department story? Yuck. Was the Mommy catch successful at all?

NM: I saw your post to Z. That was very well said. I think we all miss him for a lot of the same reasons.

kpk89: Here I am my 89 sista. And once again, I don't know what song that is. Sorry. The memory is the first to go. If I'm remembering that phrase correctly, that is. Happy Belated Birthday!

Horsey: I love ya Woman. You are a gem. Truly.

Meeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllll: We will miss you. Have a great time camping.

Chappie: Where are you?

Okay, I have to admit to feeling pretty bummed the last few days. Seems like it's one Maelstrom after another around here lately. I miss a dear friend. I hate to think that that friend may have some regrets. I miss a couple of friends, actually. But here's the thing. We're all in this together, right? This Viking ship. We weather storms. That's kinda what we do. Us Maelstromers. We weather the storm and we look for the yellow.

And nothing says yellow quite like a grocery basket puke story, a picture of a bunch of toilet bowl plungers and yet another NKOTB discussion.

So thanks for that.

And because I haven't said it lately....

MAELSTROM...

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

Grammy - is the menu set yet?

I'm kind of hungry.


I shouldn't be. Just bought a new chocolate bar - a Cinnamon Kit Kat.

It was delish......

I"ll bring those for desert.

 

[Grammyof2]

YAK - menu is set - Fried Chicken and all the fixings - from a great deli around the corner. Served in my best plastic dishes

Now only in cyber space do I plan dinner (by making a call and ordering) and make another call to a southern belle to help her fix her toilet. I only hope I didn't give her bad advice.

 

[GeorgiaAristocat]

MAELSTROM...

is a FASTPASS!!!!!

Yeah, it has been a bit blue rather than yellow around here lately. But I came, prepared to share the puke. The mommy catch was fairly successful, poor little punkin. Thank goodness those carts are molded plastic and easy to clean! I do remember the meat department story, but couldn't remember who told it. Should have consulted my original classics list. Which I still have. But nothing from M2. Sorry, that's the secretary's job. OHHHHH YAAAA-AAAAAK! (Or is that the historian's job? OHHHH HAAAALEEEEEEEY!)

But I did strip him down in the store. He went home in true redneck fashion - diaper only (and tennis shoes. Okay, I guess it wasn't true redneck fashion. The diaper wasn't droopy and he had shoes on. What can I say, I tried!)

Thanks Yak for helping me out this afternoon and answering Amy's question. I couldn't have answered it so good.

Yum - save some for me.

Grammy - while you are at it - can you take my kids to Soccer tonight. Both games are at 7pm. They'll give you directions. Thanks sweety!

Amy - I thought you wouldn't notice that I'm slacking a bit. A bit of a strike really. Over wages and benefits. (oh, I can't believe I just said that.....nails on the blackboard......nevermind!) I'll get back on the job and try to update the "best of" M2, asap!

Good thing you were in the molded plastic cart, instead of the regular wire ones. Ewww strained vomit!

Everyone visualize that one please 'cause I'm not googling for an image to post!

Skaters, change directions!

 

[jamal]

GRAMMY!!!!!!!!!!!! You are my hero! No news there. Friends, our dear Grammy called me and told me how to fix my toilet. That is friendship, I tell ya.

I am so happy. I have a new trick in my Fixer arsenal. I will let her share the trick with you.

YAK! Thank you!!!!!! That is my bathroom today...how did you know??

OK, I must get ds12 at camp but here's the story with no time!! for editing. Because you people are first.

DS6, according to Shrek's theory, was born with an extra-long colon. Said colon does not get emptied as it should, on a daily basis. This child is much too busy with the neighbors to pause for extra-colon cleansing time. Thus, this darling regularly clogs the commode. It is impressive.

Usually (well, until ten minutes ago) I wait for Shrek to get home where he is greeted with a note about the toilet. Or sometimes DS6 will alert him with a call or email...

When it happened this AM I thought, I can do this without throwing up. I am want to be a decent homeowner.

Ye Old red rubber plunger did NOT do the trick! Off to the store for a new one. It worked...it caused an overflow of the toilet (YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) which is directly over our garage....

The garage is too crowded with our junk (90% is SHREK'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Promise). When I went downstairrs to inspect I saw the overflow had spilled right into ds6's John Deere tractor-Jeep thing. The one he drives all over with his peeps in tow. The one that is now filled with poopy-floor-insulation water.

The boys were playing yard golf when I 'suggested' a Jeep-washing party(heh heh).

when I went to the store for the plunger I was weak with hunger.

Had to eat lunch and Dis a bit... you know.

Went back for " ball" plunger.

Tried again.

Oh yeah, washed all the towels from spill TWICE, with bleach and the floor too...

Grammy called and rescued me, well, Shrek, cause I was all done.

More later..........

O . . . . .M . . . . .G!
Jami - leaky toilet AND water damage!?! Oh, you poor dear. I guess it IS sometimes good to live on a concrete slab.

Thank goodness for Grammy!

Where, oh where, has my little sher gone?
Where, oh where, could she be?

Joe was talking to me, clearly, this morning.

MAELSTROM...

Well THERE you are, LaLa! Good to see you! Good of you to drop by with some yellow! Yay!

That little tidbit was from Barenaked Ladies. Apparently it's actually from a song called "Gordon" but I know it from the live version of "If I Had a Million Dollars." Good stuff.

Did you know that Barenaked Ladies came up with that name for their band because they wanted to attract the most possible attention? They said it was either that or "Free Beer."

I am so pathetically out of the routine of cooking, folks. I need help! I need inspiration! Tink? Grammy? Pongo, even? I'm hopeless. I used to cook, and love it. Now I have a vegetarian-for-no-apparent-reason bsbysitter living with us so we're eating too much cheese. Ew. Heeeeeeeeeelp!
