Daylight Savings

Sounds  like a bank, doesn't it? Well, I hope for those of you that do observe it ( and those of you that don't, just observe), don't forget to turn your clocks ahead an hour. You don't want to be late for work on Monday morning.

Yeah, it sucks!

Fun With Plumbing

 Let me tell you something, when you chance upon bad luck, that bitch stays with you all weekend and then some. Take for instance my husband, David. You see, David is not the best plumber in the U.S.of A. I have blogged about his adventures in plumbing before. Believe me, when I say that I have a 24-hour plumbing service on speed dial, just in case. When David embarks on a seek and find mission, he never stops. That's the bad luck.

Take for instance this past weekend and the weekend before. Yes, he started playing with water and the plumbing the weekend before. You see, we have a problem with a clogged pipe. It was somewhere between the overfill pipe that runs from the roof to the main house line. Really it's from the washroom pipe coming from the washer that empties to the main line. There is a feed out that is on the roof that is connected to that line. If something is clogging that little pipe from the washer to the main line, then the water from the washer will end up gushing out of that little pipe on the roof.

So, David decided he needed to cut the pipe from the far right of the beginning of the PVC(white pipe) to the first connector(the thick white piece after the thingy clean out sticking up from the white pipe). He set up a clean out right there( the white piece that will be sticking out of the ground when he ever finally covers all that shit up with dirt). Well, the water gushed out of the lower pipe(right side without the PVC on it) opening and not the roof, I don't remember how many times before he thought he solved it. Yes, he's that anal.

So then he says he fixed it and the pipe is back together again. The only problem was that when I tried to wash clothes on Monday the water was gushing out of the pipe on the roof again for all our neighbors to see. Hence, I had the phone in my hands talking to a plumber when David came home. He was not going to pay a plumber $700 to unclog a pipe. So this past weekend he got off Friday afternoon early and proceeded to fight the pipe clog again.

 This time, I told him to take the rest of the pipe off up to the first connection to the main pipe(on the far left). I said that is where you'll most likely find the clog because there's a bend in the pipe. He did and then put the cleanout brush through the connection pipe and everything flowed smoothly. So, he want back to Home Desperate and got another pipe connector and connected the PVC pipe piece to the smaller pipe he made and then back to the main pipe. Everything worked fine, except that now, water was coming up into the sink in the kitchen from the washer. WTF!! David did not snake the main pipe to make sure the clog was completely gone from our system and into the main city sewer pipe. So now, he will most likely take off again on Friday to tackle that job. *sigh*

Til It Happens To You

I was going to post earlier but I got a call from the lab and I had to be redrawn because my blood sample was lost in transport to the lab. It's possible,  nobody is totally perfect ya know. So I had to run back to the hospital and have this done so the results could get to my doctor on time today. They were there when I arrived at the doctor's office this morning. Other than my platelet and white cell counts being way too high because of my medical problems with my back and such, it's a walk in the park for me. I have to see my doctor again in three months.

Yesterday I was browsing thru Youtube to see what was recommended for me to watch and I came across this video. This is the same song Lady Gaga performed at the Oscars. She collaborated with Diane Warren who wrote "Til it Happens to You" for the 2015 documentary, The Hunting Ground. It's a beautiful, haunting rendition of the song by Three Miles Lost an all female a cappella group. Please listen to this song.

Drumpf

Oh my fucking Goddess! It's already March! It's almost spring for most of you. For the rest of us, that shit has been here like forever. Personally, I think we never officially hit winter. I never had to wear a coat much less a sweater. So I can just imagine the bugs we will have this year.

Yesterday, I was visiting a fellow blogger from up north in Maine known as Ol'Buzzard. You should check him out, he's fun to read and he has a lot of great thoughts that he expresses. He posted about a program that I sometimes watch called "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" well the one he wanted to post was about Donald Trump. This thing blew up all over the web like crazy.

Twitter was absolutely on fire. More like a forest fire blaze with this program. Hashtags were flying around here and there pertaining to Trump and the show. You have to check this out. It's good. No, great! He trashes Trump so bad that if I was Trump I would be going into hiding right now. This may not be blowing over anytime soon.
