Lori got the bird out without any incident. Thank god.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Yeeps, I've just been reading the birdie play by play. Thank goodness for Lori.
We've been dealing with broken plumbing all day. DH tried to snake it with ours but it wasn't long enough, feh. (Yeah, that's right, our plumbing is so bad that we own our own snake.) Not a huge deal except that it still isn't fixed and I don't think I'll be showering until it is.

A lacrosse stick? The dog? The baby? A bird covered in chimney goo? Good lord, this sounds like something that ought to be filmed and shown on YouTube, really...
Oh, broken plumbing sounds like awfulness. So sorry, Burrell. Eep!
I am in a better mood than I was earlier. Which is good. Cause I was in a very very bad mood, earlier. Now I just want my downstairs neighbors to quit smoking pot. And I want tomorrow to not be Monday.

Aww. We had no plumbing for eight days when I lived at USC. We were begging friends who lived in the dorms, rather than the university apartments that we lived in, if we could come over and use their shower. Which is an awkward request, but there you go. Gross things were coming UP into our tubs. It was completely nasty. So, sadly, I can completely sympathize, Burrell. Though I wish for your sake I didn't have to.

IOPlumbingN I just left the plumber in our place to install the NEW TOILET! I am too excited. Flushing via pouring a bucket of water into the bowl for a week was old. I was able to use grey water for a lot of the flushing and educate mac a wee about water conservation. But still, ready for a working toilet.

Having a working toilet is a Good Thing.

Yay Toilet!
It's a long weekend here, so, of course, there is torrential rains.
One of my cousins (I think it's a cousin--his name is John and we have the same last name) is also in town, so I guess he is coming over for lunch. (I am at my parent's.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
All hail Thomas Crapper!
Despite the urban legend, Crapper did not invent the flush toilet (the myth assisted by his surname).
Darn.
However, Crapper did much to increase its popularity and came up with some related inventions.
