Painting is no fun

Started painting my new room on Saturday, and i am still doing touch-up's today! I've been awfully stressed over a lot of things lately, and this painting job is taking a lot of energy outta me. Sigh....I estimated that I should be done by tomorrow. And then I need to start working on my clogged toilet. The plan is to get it removed and try to sort things from there. Wish me good luck. @_@

And then tomorrow i gotta meet some deadlines for the budget run. I am also responsible for something that's not suppose to be my job. @_@ Arrh i wanna scream.

WC Trouble @_@

OPENING A CLOGGED TOILET

  • In most cases you can open a clogged toilet using a force ball-type plunger
    (first plunger in image). A regular suction cup plunger will seldom do the job
    (second plunger in image). A force ball-type plunger exerts a great deal more
    pressure for cleaning toilets than the regular type.
Ok i tried that with that force ball-type plunger, didnt work.....
  • Be sure to have sufficient water in the toilet bowl when using the plunger.
Yes yes yes~
  • If the plunger does not clear the clogged drain, use a closet auger (see image
    below). Start the auger or snake into the bowl and continue to crank it
    until it becomes tight. This cranking and pulling action will usually bring
    up the object that is causing the stoppage.
I brought the auger, followed your instruction, still not working for me. Luckily, this cranking and pulling action didnt bring up a piece of poop or anything.....
  • If the closet auger is not effective, use a small snake in the same way as
    described for opening lavatory drains.

No, the auger was not effective, at least for me. Now i cant even bring it back to Home Depot for refund cuz of sanitary reason.....

And no, why would a snake work if a auger (that's just like a snake) won't work on the problem?

  • If neither the plunger, the closet auger, nor the snake removes the
    obstruction, you may need to remove the toilet from the floor, turn it upside
    down, and force the obstruction out from the top or bottom.
OH boy...do i really have to end up doing this?
  • If you must remove the toilet from the floor, use either a wax preformed O-ring or fresh plumber's putty in reseating the toilet.
I dont wanna do this tho....:(

Praying for the Ducks

Yes i am still very very worried about the family of ducks who were crossing the road the other day!!! I do think about it a lot and i am so scared of being on that road again because I might see a line of flatten ducks across the road. :( Woooo thinking about this makes me wanna cry. :~( I hope this doesnt make me sound too crazy. I just hope that they made it to the other side safely (ya like Toy Story 2!) and if not I think they should be in heaven by now.....since all dogs go to heaven ducks should too.

Ducktales

We saw a line of ducks crossing as we drove thru the back roads on our way home. My dad just barely missed the family of the ducks and you can see them hurried to the center dividers. However, i am so worried about them as they have to cross the other side with cars going in the other direction. I sure hope that they make it across safely. If i were alone, i might just stop my car and help stop the cars for the ducks, but since i was with my parents, they will tell me that i am stupid. :( I just can't help being worried about their fate. They actually looked pretty cute while crossing, but i cant imagine what might happen to them. What if the cars cant see them? This whole family might be killed! What about if the car only hit the mother (?) in front? Those little ducks (about 5-6 of them) will become orphans. :( And what if it only hits the ones at the end of the line? I am sure the mother will be very upset as she was trying to protect them all the way. :( Meanwhile, with that new back roads we have around our house, i wonder if we as human beings have invaded their space and forced them out of their habitant. :( Humans are quite bad aren't they? Ok am I just thinking too much?
