All our sewer lines are something like 8 FEET under street level. My basement floor is about street level (built on a rise, 9 steps up to the first floor, basement is almost walkout in the back- up 2 steps, down 4 to alley.) Oh, and the majority of the line is under a concrete foundation. Can't even contemplate if is more than just clogged line. Very suspicious of coincidental temp shift.

Home warranty is on it. I can call the contractor tomorrow and schedule them to visit when I'm back. Maybe that way I can get the first slot of the morning.

Growing as a person! Handling cultural norms!

I support your personal growth. In theory. In reality, I prefer everything to stay the same.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Grandma passed away about half an hour ago. All her children were with her. No idea on arrangements yet, but I hope they wait until the 27th for the funeral. Mac is at a sleepover and my friend is here.

Because books.

Oh, msbelle, I'm so sorry. I know how much you loved her.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am so sorry, msbelle.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Condolences, msbelle. It's always sudden, even when it isn't.

msbelle, I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm grateful that the waiting for all is over. Sounds like the arrangements for the night are the best as can be.

That Google Doodle was fun.

I see what you (and Zenkitty) did there.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am so sorry, msbelle. Hugs and prayers for you and mac and your family.
