That is truly disgusting.  Also, I want an in-law like your BIL.  You know, get some useful skills in the family.  We’ve got too many insurance (and ex-insurance) people and English majors ;-).

Cut an access point into the pipe close to where we thought the plug started. Than snaked it out until the plug popped. And let it drain and drain. SO GROSS !!! Than snaked both sides and fixed up the pipe. Than ran draino and hot water down pipes feeling to make sure that got hot the whole way through. We think we…

Remember that Tom Hanks movie called The Money Pit ? Not quite our house but it does at times feel like we are in our very own comedy. This week the sink stopped draining completely. Turns out the previous owners just dumped all their grease down the drain for 20+ years and we had 30 feet of 2 inch pipe filled with it…

Not that I miss the Emetic-in-Chief (I do not) but I do kind of miss Barf Bag. And I’m wondering if the writers might want to continue the tradition with some sort of political round-up? Anyone? :) 

2001 was the first year of the 21st century.   2021 is the 21st.  21 years ago was the 20th century,  though.  

Could you kindly do a favor? There are two unseen commenters also paying their tributes. If you could ungrey them please?

Fuck yes, if you told me she did that for real, I’d believe it.

Honestly, it’s a crying shame cause you know Warren could handle the Fed, CFPB, and Dept of Education... but she’s forced to stay put because Mass. elected a republican governor.

When she hits the water fountain in the hallway...

Joan Cusack rules as always and yes, that run is great.

I don’t think she wanted anything but to stay in the senate. For how blue mass is, we are REALLY FUCKING DUMB when it comes to electing republicans to statewide office and do it on a semi-regular basis. 

I saw The Autobiography of Jane Pittman when I was a tween and immediately became obsessed with it and especially with Ms. Tyson. I must have watched it a dozen times at least over the years.  What a fascinating and accomplished woman she was!

The strength of the central characters’ relationships could fill several columns, but let’s not forget James L Brooks’ typically strong supprting cast. His movies have always had a great “no small roles” quality. Nicholson looms over the lower-tiered talent like both a lure and a threat, and Joan Cusack is just a…

She is 94 in the top pic. Truly ageless beauty.

That and the gov of Massachusetts is Republican, so filling her seat would have been a net loss for the Dems.

It’s unfortunate that Ms. Warren isn’t going to get a cabinet post (would be perfect for Treasury), but with Massachusetts having a Republican governor and all ... she needs to stay where she is.

I fucking love Miracle Whip. I use it in my tuna fish (along with sweet relish, spicy brown mustard, and other stuff) and it's bomb. Also, gotta have Old Bay in there.

she didn’t really get shut out as much as she got screwed over by local politics. Unfortunately Massachusetts has a republican governor so with a 50/50 split dems can’t afford to pull her from the senate.

Oh for sure! That chunk stuff is practically fish paste.

Inquiring minds need to know, did they have their “towel charms” with them?
