As I said, my house is nearing 100. The outflow pipes are smaller than they are in newer houses. We clogged up starting with the laundry sink. Then I notice whatever we used water in (kitchen, bathroom, etc), water came up out of the floor drain in the basement. Had to get RotoRooter to power snake the lines. The issues turned out to be a root getting into the line from the exterior of the house to the city sewerage, coupled with frickin' Charmin. Charmin doesn't readily break up in water, we had to switch to Angel Soft. The Charmin was getting caught in the house's old small pipes and creating papier-mâché like clumps.

My house is closing in on 100 years old & a lot of the pipes are still original, I tend to stay away from extremely caustic stuff since I don't know how long it would have to sit in the pipe to work.

Never found the show funny, so no.

"Billy was a chemist's son, alas he is no more...for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4." (Joke tombstone at the long gone Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum, Chicago) If the standing water has gone down, either heat up a tea kettle full of water or nuke some (wear gloves) and pour it down the drain. I've even unstuck drains using Dawn Dish soap & hot water. It just depends on what kind of sludge you've got down there. I tried a number of things on the upstairs sink and only Insta-Flo worked, though it took a couple doses (make sure the Sulfuric Acid is gone). Again, you'll need hot water with the stuff.

I''d rather they had mini cans of Cane Sugar Dr Pepper.

Speaking of random...everything else on my FB is in English, but the Birthday notification went rogue...

I wouldn't, but there once was a man from Nantucket...

It's a toss-up... This one is what my surname means in one language... ...but this one fits me better lyrically (at least for the first few lines)...

Have a drink on Ryan!

з днем народження дорога, Vamped!

I'm assuming she was an authority on being a Karen and an entitled asshole, so I guess I must be.

I was called an "entitled asshole" and "Karen" for not saying "excuse me" when I accidentally bumped into a 20-something's cart (which was blocking the items at the grocery store that I wanted to get). She was too busy yammering on her phone to move even slightly, despite it being obvious what I was trying to do. When I turned around, she immediately brought her phone up, so I assume she was videoing in case I responded physically. Afterward, I realized I had the perfect chance to say something benign in Ukrainian and let her think she was being insulted.
