Dear Gods/Godesses of plumbing: Please let the problem with the toilet backing up into the tub be a minor one requiring a minimum of workmen tramping through my home making disparaging noises about my minimalist housekeeping techniques, and let it also have nothing to do with the antique drain field out back which we've been ignoring for years. Please. Please. Please.
Dear Mother Nature,
Will you please give the Midwest a break from the crazy weather patterns. When it's zub zero one day, 72 degrees the next day, tornados that destroy houses that night and then an ice storm two weeks later that leave people powerless kinda SUCKS. If you remember, you also hit us with an ice storm last January that left millions without power for weeks.
Thank you.
Unity is strength. Knowledge is power. Attitude is everything.
