Go to Home Depot
Get Instant Power Hair and Grease Drain Opener. Comes in a black bottle with a plastic bag over it, made by Scotch Brand. It is really strong, but it was the only thing that worked when Draino didn't. I have dogs that I bathe in the bathtub and OMG the hair! It would take almost a day to drain. I was standing in water just below the knees everytime I would take a shower (gross) and nothing would work. This did! If that doesn't work, then you definately have an object obstructing the drain.
Here is a link of the heavy duty stuff

I do know that our Home Depot and
Lowe's stores have consultants (or used to) that I believe will talk to you for free in the store.
At Home Depot and Lowes I have seen...
this stuff that comes in a roll like wallpaper, it is white and there are several textures you can choose from, then just paint it. One of the associates said it is very easy to work with. I too have the paneling nightmare. Whoever had this house loved the stuff! Even the bathroom has it! It is so dark in there that the light sensor nightlight I have in there never goes out, even with sun coming through the window! We are gutting the whole thing this summer and starting new! Good luck to you!
I was at both Lowe's and Home Depot
and I was looking for red, white and blue flowers for a newly expanded garden. I wish I had seen red poppies. I got red pentas instead, and I only found 4 plants in the right red. I never found the exact right blue, either, but I found several different almost-blue plants that I did get. The lobelia was blue, but a little lighter than I had hoped to find.
"Dad, you need to go to Home Depot!!"
cracks me up the way the kid works on her dad for her mom's cause, to remodel the kitchen !
One time when I was at a Home Depot
I had to use the bathroom. Not for the use you usually hope to only have to do in a public bathroom. I had a sudden need to really go. And go. And Go. Does anybody remember Silly Sand? Okay, so there is this large pile of Silly Sand -looking material in the toilet, the likes and quantity of which I have never seen before. I am so concerned that I hold all paper out so the only thing that will have to go is this strange substance piled high. So with trepidation I try to flush. Alas, it is a low-flow toilet, and all that happens is that the water itself swirls a bit. Nothing else moves. At all. Flush after flush, and the result is the same. NOTHING MOVES. So I take my gift-wrapped wad of paper and throw it out, wash my hands, and leave the scene of the horrible crime, except that I am laughing uncontrollably because it is so unlike me not to flush, but what I tried dozens of times.
I also found it so ironic that some wise guy who orders toilets for Home Depot thinks he is going to save the company sooooo much money, and now I hope the poor cleaning lady calls him up on the phone to explain why LOW-FLOW TOILETS DON'T WORK, nor do they save water when customers flush dozens of times and still can't get them to work.
I got $180 to Home Depot and $50 to JCPenney
from all my family members. We just bought a new house in July and definitely need landscaping, so the HD gift cards will help out quite a bit. My DH's parents gave us cash also, which is always great!
Measure, go to Home Depot and figure it out - sm
they sell it by the piece. Figure out how many pieces you need and do the math. Also call local fencing companies and get quotes. This is something you have to do your own foot work on.
If you can't control 'em at home, no way will it be
Most of us would like to see a movie or go out to dinner in peace, without having other people's little indiscretions trying to eat off of our plates. Keep 'em off airplanes, too, for that matter.
I wish everyone was like you - see message inside
I wish everyone would protest the "marketing" of Christmas. I think it's despicable that stores are "making money off of Jesus". Especially when they make as much money if they put out decorations the day after Thanksgiving like its been done for years and years.
I can't tell you how infuriated I get and my blood pressure rises thinking about this. I'm not a Christian (and I'm not an Athiest), but all I can think of is - Is this what Jesus would want, people to make money off of me?
Growing up we celebrated Christmas. Got all the fun gifts like slinkies, easy bake oven, Lite Brite, barbie dolls, etc, but nothing like I-pods, computers, XBox (you know all the $300 a pop gifts) and we considered ourselves very very lucky. For us we celebrated Christmas mostly for the spiritual reasons (not marketing). My sister and I were in girl scouts and we did a lot to help the less fortunate, and I remember on at least 3 occasions (maybe more, but I remember 3) we went through all our toys and clothes and all the stuff we didn't play with anymore that were still in good condition were rounded up and given to a home that a lot of kids lived at (it might have been an orphanage but I don't remember) - I just remember wrapping up our toys and giving them to the kids and they were so thankful and happy.
I really wish more people would walk out of a store without buying anything at the stores that decide to start "marketing Jesus" before Thanksgiving.

Who's Virginia? No message inside

Terrible typos inside message above, so sorry! (NM)

the underlying read-between-the-lines message of the insurance lobbyist's message was (sm)
to, yes, appeal the denied claim. However, she lobbies for the insurance companies. She comes across sounding like she's on the patient's side but in reality she is on the side of the insurance company. The insurance company gets to deny whatever claims they want right off the bat. That leaves the SICK patient (who needs the coverage NOW when they are sick) to have to go through the appeals process. That could take quite a while. Imagine a cancer patient being denied some form of treatment that is going to help them. They now have to go through the appeals process (or pay out of pocket) in order for that treatment to be covered. In the MEANTIME their cancer is progressing. From the point of view of the insurance company, if they drag it out long enough they don't have to pay for it at all. That same insurance lobbyist was on 20/20 a little while back and basically came right out and said that the insurance companies COULDN'T AFFORD to pay for coverage for sick people. She's not on the patient's side.
sorry for typo inside, correction inside this one
At the time I posted it was a 23-y/o Korean THE DETAILS of who did the shooting had not hit the newswires UNTIL THEN.
Cut 'em off.....!!!
We have the same situation here. My husband's stepfather totally cut us off after his biological mother passed away! I still get blamed, of course the wife!!! I was left out of the obituary on purpose! It stinks, and I've gotten past it now, but the stepsister calls with "oh we miss you". This is a bunch of crap! After 3 years, I bet all she misses is the gossip and causing trouble! Cut 'em off! Cut 'em off! Let your children know that sometimes their Daddy is yelling because he feels hurt, and that is his way of "dealing". Sounds like you have a grip anyway on dealing with both your husband and children and that you have a wonderful family right in your own home! The only other option is to "hash it out", but leave the children out of it! Hope this helps.... I don't know if it will or not, but your situation really brought out some "hurt feelings" for me personally... Take care and God Bless. Hope it all works out...
Yes! Geaux get 'em!
Water 'em! (sm)
Hose them down outside, put them in the shower, or leave them out in the rain.
Only other option get rid of 'em. Which would cat

Tell 'em siser...
So when they get tired of being fluffy, they come here, rouse things up, and then go back and report that this board is childish, but of course that's the pot calling the kettle black now isn't?????? 
I actually would rather be here as there are a lot of different topics and you don't get bashed by the moderator because you feel a certain way! Go moderators!! Keep up the good work here on Stars... Sometimes ya' just want to vent and not have SS up your tailend with e-mails that make absolutely no sense!!!!
The funny part is instead of them calling themselves miserable, they come over, copy paste and then make a thread out of a borrowed post from here... 
Well, I enjoyed 'em
Doubt I'd have the guts to buy most of them, even if I could afford it. They are fun and certainly a conversation piece - if I had a business with a lobby, I'd go for at least one just to be memorable.
maybe husband just likes 'em
however, not my cuppa tea....
Nah. Just let 'em prop on my belly. LOL
Nah...I just tuck 'em into my socks...
Where? I wanna go pick 'em myself.
Ponchatoula?
Give 'em a shower! sm
I spray mine with 409, let it sit for about 10 minutes and then shower it off. Or, I stick them out in a down pour and they get nice and clean.
We hate 'em all. - LOL - Luv Phyllis

Tell 'em you're going to SELL them to the
niece and restaurant -- are those right? can't get 'em
just hate that. i've added those to my Expander so they correct themselves... i know there's more ...
Stores are trying to make 'em get their
Gotta give 'em credit though, ya' know...
Not many people would take that plunge!
HEY, Y'ALL VOTED FOR 'EM. don't whine now! nm

It doesn't stop 'em from coming around, but
kill 'em and clean 'em at the same time -- using a spray bottle with a good spray and some type of cleaner (even watered down) in it, stun them with the spray first, then totally blast them with the spray . . . wipe with paper towel.
Now they unfortunately call 'em designer dogs...
but they're really just muts. They are all lhasa-poo's. It all began when we lived in a townhouse in the city of Lowell, MA. I really wanted a dog but they (the condo association) had a weight restriction of 40 pounds. So, we were out for a Sunday drive one day and happened upon this lady walking the cutest little dog. She told us where she got it and we drove right to the kennel that day. They had one puppy left (our Winston) and we snatched him up right on the spot.
He's getting mighty old and to help the hurt of his eventual passing not be as bad, I had the bright idea to get his replacement another lhasa-poo( a couple of years ago (Patton). Well, the young whipper snapper was constantly pestering poor old Winston, so I said, "Hey, we need to get him a playmate." Enter the third little guy, "Sherman." Also a lhasa-poo. So there ya have it.
The oldster is still with us...blind, toothless, and kinda stinky, but it's one big happy family of little portable dogs and I don't think I'll ever get a big dog just because I like the little lap dogs. They are totally gay though---little puffs of yappiness.
Gave 'em a shower - look brand new - thanks!! (nm)

That's why Hayseed's neighbor shoots 'em
He probably had his house skunked, and never wants to go through it again.
Buy a home of my own - not a palace, but more of a smallish home on a large piece of land. (nm)

Any office supply place, like Office Depot or Staples. Try copyholder instead of typing stand.
There are sprays that you can use, bit I just swish 'em in soapy water

Anyone move from a single family home to mobile home? sm
I own and live in a house in a midwest city in a bad neighborhood (wasn't that bad 11 years ago). I spent the day waiting for the plumber to come and jackhammer the foundation (slab house, no basement) to find a leaky pipe that is flooding my DD's bedroom. Last week, it was the electrician with quotes for costly repairs.
In the meantime, I've really been thinking about selling out and moving into a mobile home. Has anyone done this before? Is a mobile home in a decent park less of a hassle than a regular house? I'm so tired of cutting the grass and spending $$ to fix things and tired of old flooring and cabinets, etc., that are just too costly to replace. I'm single with no man to do these things for me and I can't afford a mortgage on a newer house in a good neighborhood. Some of the pictures I've seen of the mobile homes look really nice and modern on the inside.
Any advice and comments appreciated. Thanks!
Well I figure I can make my own hours & be home when the kids are home (sm)
I worked PT in an office for a while but spent most of my money on childcare in the summer. Full-time in an office was just a nightmare and I felt like I missed a whole year of my children's lives. I want to be in control of my schedule so that's why I'm looking into the cleaning thing. Never thought I would want to do that but live and learn! Some of the most intelligent people alive work as carpenters and similar things because they have learned what's really important in life. Whew....off my soapbox now :-) Good luck to you!
Might see if your local Staples, Office Depot has someone that does office machine

They may still bloom in the sun, but the most intense color will come in the shade. Love 'em! nm

I love it.
Give 'em a swish in the sink. If concerned about color running, try with 1 stem or leaf first. Or

Daniel had a home, a very good home...
with someone in my family at one point.
She met her late husband at a club down the freeway from me. It's not a fancy place, like you say.
She does have a real brother though. That was the connection on our part.
I agree, though. It is sad that all this is coming out the way it is. I believe she was a good person...she just had a lot of problems, mainly drugs. What is really sad is that all of this is going to be seen by her daughter one day when she grows up.
Home Alone 1, A Christmas Story, Home for the Holidays, Chevy Chase's Christmas, sm
There "The Gift of the Magi," He sells his gold watch to buy her a comb for her hair and she sells her beautiful long hair to buy him a chain for his gold watch. It used to be on "Short Stories by O'Henry" but that's long gone, long ago. Good moral to the story. I can't stand "It's a Wonderful Life" -- too depressing, especially with banks closing, too intimidating right now!!!
Cook 'em however you both will like but cook n serve kraut separately. Great with cooked
