I've got a couple of those although my guess is that most folks would find using a snake to be a nasty thing.
 
The Roto-Rooter name is interesting. Wouldn't having a pipe full of tree roots mean that the pipe has to be replaced?

I'm still driving a well maintained 2002 Huyndai Accent hatchback. It's
been a very dependable car. :)

If you get the Roto-Rooter guy in time it should chop up the roots and
then the little bits will float down the pipe and out to the sewer.
 
Using a plumbing snake is not that scary. Start off by giving the toilet
a flush or two and wear some rubber gloves. Wipe the spring off as you
crank it back into the reel.

No, pipe probably wouldn't need to be replaced. Roto-Rooter should
have been something she did a long time ago.

John and I never played in the same band, though the leader of his band
was in my first band several years earlier, and he used a poem of mine for
the words to a Cheep Effects song.

Ten years ago I spent a week in Hamilton General and the food was pretty
darned tasty. I was surprised at how good it was. This time, at the
St.Catharines General, I was terribly disappointed with every meal.
Lunches were generally a few ounces of meat and then a huge serving of
one vegetable, like corn, peas or a combo of broccoli and cauliflower
and sometimes a cup of Jello or applesauce. They included a cup and
either a tea bag or packet of instant coffee. The water was tepid. I
could put a tea bag in the cup and it would take a couple minutes before
there was even a hint of colour to it.

Don't you just love the 'speeches' made up of 'many people say. . .'
or 'I have heard that'? When backed into and forced into a straight

Going way back, wondering if Bryan still drives that barbie
motor scooter?
 
And still use that nifty fan exhaust that he invented for
his cat litter box?

Don't see anything wrong with the Pringles process.
Unless some toxic glue is used to form the "chip".
I got the Lays version of pulver.

You can throw in the Dunning-Kruger effect. He is a good example of
someone who has a high assessment of himself but is unable to understand
how incompetent he really is.

Heh. I feed both of you and you claw all over each other eating
each other's shit.
 
I certainly don't take any criticism here with any importance,
especially since it all comes from people like you two - I just
laugh and yawn it off.
 
You two overestimate you own importance and then claim some sort of
personal victory in posts like this? Heh!
 
So transparent. Keep up the irony - love it!

I use almost no sugar or trans fats, but salt is NOT a poison but a necessary nutritive component! And Gandhi led a Salt March to the Indian city of Dandi to evidence that the British should NOT place a tax on a naturally occurring substance! Gandhi made salt by the ocean and was promptly ARRESTED for not paying the UNFAIR British taxes on it!
 
Look it up!

>Oh goody! Gandhi! <yawn> Listen, Mr. RN... some people aren't supposed
use salt due to medical conditions. No one here said salt is "poison"
but it can be detrimental to ones health if hey! They have heart problems.
 
I'm not going to watch some silly youtube video about Gandhi. How about
you go listen to your old LPs instead and give us a break? You are not
an expert about anything.
 
I'm watching butterflies flitting around outside which are infinitly
more interesting. :)
 
I'll be having a nice vegetarian meal tonight, too. It will not be a
"VTSD" because I happen to enjoy variety in the food I eat.

Absolutely! He could become a pescatarian. Might even be able to make
a puddle in his back yard and introduce some guppies and say he's a fish
farmer. (sorry, I couldn't help myself!)

IN THE BEGINNING... humans only lived to about 40-50 years if
they
were lucky. Now that we live twice as long, would be nice to get
a third set of teeth in your 50s. An oversight by God, imo.

IN THE BEGINNING (if you want to get all Biblical) people lived to be
400 years old. Of course we have no idea how they counted age back
then... and exactly how long is a cubit when you need to build an Ark? LOL
 
You're right, though. It was quite common to die in your 30's or 40's up
until the early 20th century. They still thought leeches were a good
idea. The discovery of antibiotics was a long way off, as was
understanding there was a difference between virii and bacteria.

LOL! How about just take care of your teeth? Brush them and floss and
so on? I suppose if I live long enough I might wish for a third set of
teeth. I seem to recall from the first time around, getting new teeth
was kind of painful. Oh, and would I have to put the old tooth under
the pillow and wait for some imaginary creature to leave me a quarter?
<wink>
 
Nice dream but I don't think I want to grow a third set of teeth. I do
wonder if those would also need braces like the ones I have now did. :)

That sounds better than the basic bread sauce. I'd probably
just use a pinch of onion powder and clove powder.

Sure. The recipe was poorly written and I should have studied it more.
The ingredients list included cilantro or mint. I had the cilantro out
but when I read the procedure it said to use some of the mint in the
beef and add the rest just before rolling them up. As a result, I was
fixated on mint. They would have been better with cilantro... or both.
