They can lick the drain of the kitchen sink with all feet on the floor.

They use a maid service. They explained to the company that they have very large huge dogs that weigh 200+ pounds. One lady showed up, heard the deep resonate woof woof, looked in the window, saw the two dogs, and walked away.

There is no doubt in anyone's mind when you hear those dogs bark, they are massive dogs.

On the other hand, we have our mini schnauzer...16 pounds of fury. A loud piercing bark that you’ll do just about anything to make stop.

Yea, we have two dogs that will bark at anything. They have chased off all the buffalo, bears, tigers, and elephants from the area. Polar Bears and Grizzly bears are now extinct in Oklahoma, likely from being chased off by the dogs.

They are the wireless doorbell supplemental warning device. But nothing remotely intimidating like the Irish Wolfhound bark. Any burglar that tried to sneak into their house from the back yard would see many very impressive um "landmines" and would know few men can make a turd that impressive.

Nobody bug Richard. He needs to concentrate on not needing to pee. Now where did I put that sound file of the calming water flow trickle noise?

[flipper35]

So you are saying we should embed videos like this?

[GH85Carrera]

Hey, he has a back yard and trees to pee on. It is kinda cold outside so he will not dawdle for sure.

What will the neighbors think?

[flipper35]

Guys certainly have it easier in that respect.

The sun goes down pretty soon. And he does have stockaded fences.

I think you should call his neighbors and have them go outside every so often and yell "Richard" just to keep him on his toes.

The old lady, 101 that lived directly behind 1/2 my yard is dead. The house has not even ben listed yet. Her 2 kids are still fighting over the sizable inheritance. So #1 is not what worries me. What worries me is the IBS kicking in.

[Porsche-poor]

fingers crossed for you.

It takes 3 gallons of water to fush my toilet even tho it says 1.6.

Since single, keep the extra space in the fridge filled with half gallon plastic milk jugs.
The fridge runs less with em in there.
Sure has come in handy. Used 12 so far besides the two 5 gallon buckets I filled in the bath.

When I get the water fixed can refill and set outside to pre-cool them.

[GH85Carrera]

Well, hopefully first thing in the morning to the plumbers means they are there by now.

There was a water main break a few years back that shut down our water for our neighborhood a few years back. Since I have a water well, it is no big deal to go out to the well and fill up a 5 gallon bucket, and flush all I needed. I called one of my neighbor friends to warn him to be careful with flushes, and if he needed he can get water from me. His wife answered the phone, and thanked me. She then proceeded to go to the toilets and flush them all and verify I was wrong. Of course she only got one flush each, and discovered I was right. He came down with two empty 5 gallon buckets and and got them filled up. He was rather upset with his wife. The toilets were not um, clean and fresh when he got home.

The city had the water back on after just a few hours so it was not a crisis.

[Porsche-poor]

Morning all. Hope all is well.

[Jim Richards]

iHola y’all! It’s raining cats & dogs again here in beautiful, sunny Southern California. At least it held off until I finished my morning ritual exercise in a nearby park. Time for breakfast!

[RKDinOKC]

They are telling me 2pm this afternoon. May have to call someone else.
With my health issues can NOT go that long without toilet water.
Have already used 32 gallons. iBS gets worse when get stresses.
And that is even after taking a bunch of immodium. Going to have to just camp in the bathroom day once the revenge of taking immodium sets in.

And I dropped my iphone in the water meter hole trying to turn the water back on. It's gotta have some water pumped out just to find the valve.
Gots the iPhone drying out in a baggie of uncooked rice.

Not a happy camper!

[flipper35]

Maybe you should camp at the plumbers office!

[RKDinOKC]

Maybe just go camp there with dirty pants, but would be risking them being used to that particular odor.

[RKDinOKC]

Having all those jugs of water in the fridge was a boon in the middle of the night last night and this morning.
Yesterday they told me they would be here first job this morining or I would have absolutely filled the bath tub.
Kinda thought could turn the water on long enough to fill the tub this morning, but the meter/shutoff re-filled with water.

[Porsche-poor]

tell the plumber to send a guy to go fill the jugs up and return them.
