Ouch, Stephanie. Salley's probably past the U bend. If there's no noticable slowing of flow (or flushing) you most likely don't need to call a plumber just yet. Keep an eye on it for a few days.

Lowes sells these cheap zip cord type of things which I keep on hand at all times. They can sometimes loosen clogs and pull up a stray toy. If you have small hands, you can, like I have, reach pretty far into the drain yourself to see if anything is still stuck within reach.

If there is any sign of a slow down, call a plumber. They use a mirror on a long line to see clogs and can often unclog them without unseating the toilet.

It's so much funnier when it's not happening to me! But I totally empathize!

Buy a couple of these and DO NOT let him watch Flushed Away.

I know I saw the regeneration from Four to Five, but I think my PBS station must have stopped carrying Doctor Who at that point because I don't remember a single thing from after that.

Trust my rage

Thanks, Cash. I will head to Lowe's on Wednesday (because tomorrow I have to drive 4 hours for a 30 minute hearing and then back again, but that's another post).

Good luck, Stephanie!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I have no toilet car advice for Stephanie.

ita's coworkers are rude.

I'm excited about the dinner I made for JZ.

I was mulling over the meal possibilities and feeling everything was somewhat sad and predictable, but I reviewed the possibilities and determined I could do something spiff if I could find some ripe pears.

I did! Very ripe. Perfectly creamy, sweet, and luscious D'anjour pears.

I had some fancy bread - the green onion and feta round that's my favorite local savory bread.

Cut two thin slices. Spread both sides with brie. Did a layer of fine sliced pears. A bit of fresh thyme. Then I made a ultimo fancypants grilled cheese sandwich, cooking it in butter with a press.

I also made a salad of greens, pear, feta and pistachio nut meat. Balsamic vinagerette.

Yay, not boringness!

Also, I still have two more pears.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ten canon fanboyed Five. That's cred right there. That's also a sentence that doesn't make sense to many.

I love Five. He wasn't as crazy as Four, but he had a charming flippancy. And he's cute. I just like Four, Nine, and Ten better. But it's a close race.

Went phone shopping. Don't wanna spend the money, but my current phone has started to turn itself off. I may be vaulted into the world of onscreen keyboards. Don't wanna. I can almost touchtype on this dinosaur. But if I stick to my carrier (T Mobile) and my OS guns (Android) there aren't that many options.

Oh, yum, David. I want that salad real bad.

I'm looking at Cliqs through T-Mobile, but I haven't settled on it for sure. I miss my phone being smart.

I played with a Samsung Behold and the myTouch because I wanted to get a sense of typing on the onscreen keyboards. I was crap on the myTouch, but the guy pointed out I was using my fingernails. Hard habit to break. He recommended the myTouch because he says HTC makes better hardware than Samsung.

Next time I go in I'll try the Cliq--from skimming the web there's no point trying the G1 in 2010. Just tapping at the keyboard on my old monster made me miss the mechanics again. And I'm interested in the MOTOBLUR software they have that consolidates your emails into one bucket.
