Bad news, over the course of the weekend both of our toilets clogged, plunging be damned.
Good news, emergency maintenance call and they are both snaked and working.
Right now I'll take this perk of apartment living.

Any hardware store ought to carry the part. American Standard is a common brand.
I probably could find something at Home Depot, since I imagine they have more selection than Ace Hardware, but after the debacle that was my hunt for a side mount toilet tank lever, I'm just ordering the exact part I need.
And then I will spend election night with my hands in a toilet.

Oh, right. That's across the street from Deluxe. I'll keep that in mind the next time I have hardware needs.

I think I just stepped over the line on Facebook. No way to pull back.

I'm so sick of the Pro-Life Fetus Fetish. If you want to stop abortions, support a political agenda that will help make them unnecessary. Don't like Planned Parenthood--MAKE IT UNNECESSARY. Support universal healthcare, subsidized child care, tax credits, increased education spending, paid maternal leave, comprehensive sex education and the ready availability of contraception.
GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

OMG yes, Cashmere. The refusal to support birth control on the part of the anti-abortion crowd really torpedoes any argument that they're not about controlling sexuality.
On the other hand, quite a number of them are pretty open about wanting to control sexuality. They just don't see how it's really not possible to do it. If we could just write the laws perfectly, teenagers would stop having sex!
(That a full third* of women getting abortions are already mothers doesn't seem to factor into their paradigm...)
* possibly a quarter, I don't recall precisely

Don't like Planned Parenthood--MAKE IT UNNECESSARY.
I don't understand how Planned Parenthood became the bad guy. I swear every time I've been in there I've been surrounded by pregnant gals and new moms bringing their baby in for a check up.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The refusal to support birth control on the part of the anti-abortion crowd really torpedoes any argument that they're not about controlling sexuality.
It seems that a large part of this crowd believes that every pregnancy is directly the result of God's will and action, and by using any method to stop you from getting pregnant you are thwarting the will of God. (Don't ask them how puny humans can stop the will of an all-powerful god. That just makes them mad. Let's say "attempting to thwart" which is just as bad, I guess.)
I am also aware of a belief that scares the ever-loving fuck out of me, which is the belief that (deploy Rio font) THE SOULS OF THE CHILDREN GOD MEANS FOR YOU TO HAVE ARE WAITING FOR YOU TO GET PREGNANT just floating around your head somewhere, I dunno, or lined up in a chute in heaven maybe, but ONLY YOU can have them and if you REFUSE to have children THEY WILL NEVER GET BORN. It's like you're killing them! I don't know what these folks believe about people having babies through IVF, and I don't want to think about it. It's crazy, and it was just about the scariest discussion I ever got into about birth control.
