HIJACK THIS THREAD!

Septic tanks...

I don't remember who it was now, but there was a lady here a while back who had problems with her septic tank while going through chemo. The "honey wagon" people told her that the septic backed up because of the toxic drugs she was excreting and flushing! The chemo was supposedly still active enough to kill the beneficial bacteria in the septic tank.

I am not sure I "buy" the theory about chemo and septic tanks, but it sure is something I wouldn't have thought of!

I have a 90 lb boxer an older cat and a young kitten. The older two are pretty calm and generally peacefully co-existed b.k. (before kitten). The new kittie is such a spaz! We adopted the older cat when she was an adult, so I had not experienced the circus atmosphere that a kitten can create. The funniest thing for me, aside from the kitten draping herself over the arm of a chair and swatting at her tail--causing her to flip an fall off the chair!--is seeing the little kitten chasing the older cat who chases the boxer. It's a crazy animal train and cracks me up every time.

Oh, and to tie the two subjects together, there is a doggie septic system called a "doggie dooly" or something like that! I ordered one and couldn't figure out how I was going to train my dog to "go" in the right place. HAH!! You are supposed to bury the doggie dooly and SHOVEL the nasties into it periodically. We never did get it installed. Sometimes I truly feel my blondeness..... 

Twink the dogs eyes I just melted into them, oh he's so cute.  Your lucky to have that dog.  My son had a friend nicknamed Cheese and he had a bull mastiff, I loved that dog.  I would go to Kenora to stay the weekend clean their house and Rup would follow me everywhere. He was the most laid back dog in the world.  I have two cats now and adore them and of course they are brats, but my brats.  Last night they decided to keep me up all night fighting, whining, weird, I don't know what got into them but they're sleeping now ( I should wake them up).  Anyone hooked on Meerkat Manor on the Animal Planet.  It's like a soap opera but I love it.  My neigbours are going to kick me out soon if I don't stop feeding the squirrels, but they're so cute and fat now I just can't stop. Yesterday Harry the gray squirrel came right up to my window, put his hands under his armpits and looked as pitiful as possible.  Well that was it for me more nuts, they have me trained now.  Pearl

Brenda,  Your Kes is beautiful. 

I have my "pound puppy" too and he trained all the other pups.  He's like the father lion and let's them get away with almost everything but once in a while he still puts them in their place.  They are all special in their own ways.  I love animals and love watching "Animal Planet' (except when something gets caught for dinner)  I know the whole food chain and all but it still bothers me. 

Hahaha... my dogs don't slobber and they're as graceful as ballerinas.

Brenda, I love shepherds...or shepherd-like dogs.  I grew up with several.  She's beautiful!

Black bean chili...yummmm.  Tonight it's fish for us... DH is in charge.

My SIL is visiting...she bought me a massage for Xmas.  I'm off to the masseuse in an hour or so.  I wish it was with a masseur named Raoul.

It'll be split pea soup here one day this weekend.....got the order from my family.  That will use up the end of the ham from Christmas.  It's cold and cloudy here today, rain tomorrow.  But hopefully, will be nicer for the weekend so same said family members  can go camping!

I have a teacup poodle named Biscuit that staed by my side while I did treatments.  He even growled at my daughter when she tried to give me a kiss before going to work one day.  The thing about septic tanks is the powder tide can build up like a rock.  I had that problem with powder cascade.  I use the gel now. 

I hate cleaning up after Christmas.  Undecorating the tree, putting all the little seasonal doodads away, vacuuming up pine needles.  I always regret not having done a better job of neatly putting the lights away.  Of course, I regret this sloppiness when I'm in the process of preparing to decorate next year's tree.  By then I've usually forgotten whether I was the lazy one or somebody else was.  In any case, I usually blame my DH.

How about the cat Jule?  Blame the cat.

Lol..funny thread

Can I have the potato soup recipe Jas?

I'm hungry, sick, and pregnant which all add up to potato soup

A detective I worked with had a bull mastiff and said they are famous for 3 things..burping, farting, and drooling..like our husbands..lolol hahaha

Speaking of cats eating day old formula..I think I'm going to have a hard time nursing because one of my cats will not understand that it's not meant for her! She's attached to me and I have to carry her like a baby everywhere..she even sleeps with her nose in my chest cuddled between her paws.

This doesn't have to do with septic tanks, but when we had our shed built, they send 3 deaf and mute men to put it up..but they got in a huge fight and were throwing things at each other...needless to say, my dad had to go out and build the rest of it!

OMG...how do you break up a fight amongst three men who can't hear you or talk.

Hi Marissa! 

Congratulations way over due to you from me. 

As for your hunger plus morning sickness. . .baked potatoes are great!  Just plain old baked potatoes.

What is your due date?

I want to be there right now.

Hi Dotti.

What type dry yeast do you use? 

Are they the packets?

How do you get the yeast into the tanks?

Do you flush it?  How much do you use each time?

What does the yeast do to break down stuff. 

I thought yeast would coagulate debris for some reason.

32 years.  That's really great.
