Unblocked Drain

I HAD a terrible problem with the bathroom sink. If you swooshed in enough water seemingly to go round the U-bend, then down a bit, it all backed up and said sink remained full for over half an hour. As water slowly, very very very slowly trickled out.

So I made up caustic soda in the right proportion. And that scared the crap out of me as the first time round I used a drinks can which went HOT as the Frightening Fizz did its sinister work. And then SMOKE CAME OUT!! But still no joy. I was supposed to leave it there for half an hour, but in half an hour it had trickled away and when I tried it again the sink was still as blocked as ever before.

Suffice it to say I used up the entire bottle of caustic soda, diluted in about five litres of water. Nothing seemed to change... Until...!

The next morning. Suddenly sink unblocked!

 Now I'm living in guilty terror that no sewer rats were harmed in the "treatment" of this Unruly Drain. I'm so glad I didn't have to go as far as 96% sulphuric acid (strongest drain cleaner you can get ~ AVAILABLE OFF THE SHELF HERE! ~ caustic soda was scary, what with the heat and smoke, but Vitriol scares the shit out of me!

PS Ignore what I said last time: no sleep and emotional overwhelm-ment will do that to a person...

 UKH AND I HAVE TO FIND A NEW GP. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BUT I HAVE TO. TOLD OLD ONE I WAS MOVING HOUSE. AND IF I DON'T CONFIRM MY NEW ADDRESS I'LL NEVER GET ANY MAIL FROM THEM... (WHICH COULD BE IMPORTANT)...


Illustrated: caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) VERY SCARY STUFF. Not the brand I used. Mine was very cheap and nasty looking... (and about 100% pure!) if you don't believe that caustic soda goes hot on contact with water then I challenge you TRY IT YOURSELF!

  4. Darling,
    Please don't worry. I may have gone off the "deep end", but not with lies. Anonymous.*rolling my eyes at anonymous' idiocy*

    My mood has been even keel. I've decided I'm more of a realist than a pessimist. Which is why I tend to be more depressive. When you look at the reality of things, it's all so bleak. With religious hypocrites, and humanity's parasitic way of living. The majority of humans think no deeper than "what does he think of me?" "Do I look good in this expensive clothing?" "What's to eat?" "What's on TV tonight?"

    Most people cannot see past themselves, to see that we are all one, one with everything both here on Earth, and the Universe. We each experience events differently, which allows us to be make our own choices, we don't have to follow the crowds, or do what we are told, we can be individuals in a sense. Having developed a conscious brain that has the ability to ask why are we alive. We are the universe experiencing its self. I think it should be mandatory for humans to go to school at least three time a week their entire lives. Knowledge is the key to wisdom. Put the tea party in a philosophy class. Make the close minded take classes they think are useless. Put atheists in a theology class. Not just Christian theology, but Islamic, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and all religions, both dead and alive. Let them make an informed decision before claiming certain ideals.


    I haven't been up to much else than working and writing, and writing for work. I've taking a job as a phone actress, in the adult erotic phone business. I'm an anonymous PSO, there are no pictures of me. I make $26 for 30 min cyber chat, and it goes up every by $7 every 10 mins. I make almost $2 bucks per minute on the phone. Calls last anywhere from 2 minutes, all the way up to 6 hours. So far I've made okay money.

    I wonder my dear Gledwood, have you ever indulged in a session of phone sex, at any point in your life? When I was a kid, you could dial any 1-900-###-#### and nearly all of them were phone sex lines. I guess back then phone sex girls made a lot more money than we do now, because of the flooded market since the rise of the Internet, and smart phones. This job is allowing me to save more money. I just got a royalty check from Trafford, only $207 bucks in three month.I can't huff and puff at that, I've gotten $50.00 checks from them. My books sells better in e-book format, and I get 50% of those royalties, but it's only 7.99-9.99 depending on where you get it from. Paper back it cost's 15.04, and I only get 20% of that. I haven't done the math as which is to my benefit.

    I do miss you, and I do skulk around, and check in on you time and time again. I stop by at least twice a month, and read everything I missed. I know you moved into government provided housing, and this should be permanent.
    Well I really must be getting to bed here, and you over in London are getting up to the morning fog @ 7:33 a.m. So Tis a Good morning Govn'r. *eye roll* *I'm not good with accents, and have to do them on calls all the time.
    I wish that asteroid had hit us dead on, instead of zipping past closer than our satellites orbit.
    Sorry to go on and on, giving anonymous something I've written to read over and over again, then print it out and tape it their walls.
    I love you Gledwood

    My Best Regards,
    Anna Grace

  5. Happy Valentine's Day (belated) to you, Gledwood. Glad you have such a spiffing address. Would caustic soda stop my washing machine smelling funny? Or would it burn the rubber rings? Probably would.

    I swear these word verifiers are getting harder. it can't possibly be my eyesight.

  7. Anna I have never done phone sex either as customer or Phone Ho. It sounds an interesting thing to do... here on TV we get adult channels advertising premium rate sex lines and a Lucky Caller can speak to the girl on screen. After about 10pm or so she is naked or nearly so and writhing, sucking her fingers suggestively etc. You know Melody melodyleeisdamned.blogspot.com does really adult phone sex rape fantasies etc. I think the stuff she was talking about would be illegal here.

    Everyone else hi and thanks for the Valentines. Sorry I never answered for so long...
