The last thing you want to do is snake out your drains.
We had our house built and for a few years, our kitchen sinks would back up. H would always accuse me of putting grease down the drain. Some did get in there but I would always toss it in the trash.
Well, every Christmas Day for about three years, the sinks would back up. He would have to snake it out from outside. A few times, it was impossible as it was something all the way around the side of the house and not really close to the sink area. He'd call a plumber who would come out to the property he was working at.
It was horrible.
Haven't had the problem in some time now, thank goodness.
To me, plumbing is the worst job.
Oh, and over two years ago, just after he moved out and in with ow, part of our house lost electricity. not something I could fix either.
It took him awhile to diagnose the problem. There was a short in the smoke alarm wire way up on the vaulted ceiling.
Thank goodness he knew what he was doing. Saved us a lot of $$$.

Oh, I know what you mean about the electricity! We had that happen here about 2 years ago, thank goodness my H knew what to do & also got someone from his work to come help him. The wires in the attic were uncovered & bad, in fact it could have set the house on fire. Thank goodness the electric just went out in part of the house & it is fixed now. They had to rewired some stuff. I hope it's all fixed. This is an old house so you never know what is going to happen.
Geesh, and ours is a newer house. Hard to believe though that it was built in late 1995 and we moved in, in January 1996 when the kids were still very young. Seems like yesterday.

Wow, you shouldn't have had that problem with a newer house like that. My house was built in 1956, before I was ever born! No wonder things wear out on it.
We moved here in 1994 & I'm like you, it seems like yesterday.
Hope you are doing well NLT. I was praying for you last night and the word I got for you was peace. Not sure what that might mean for you. Maybe to be at peace with your situation.
You will need to interpret, but that is what I got.
God bless!

I'm feeling some better, just tired. I've been working around my house & trying to do some things that my H didn't do. Can you believe I fixed a window today! I've been after my H to do it for years, the storm window on the outside had slipped or something anyway, I figured out how to do it, it wasn't easy but I did it. I was kind of proud of myself.
Thank you Glam for praying for me! I'm not sure how to interpret peace for my stitch. I really do feel rather peaceful right now. I still feel like H will be home some day but I'm not really sure why I feel this way.
yes, you sound as if you have been given some inner peace, finally. it has been a very difficult time for you but God is always by your side.

Dancing With God When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing 'dance' at the end of the word And I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, And everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, Both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back Or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, And attentiveness from one person And gentle guidance and skill from the other. My eyes drew back to the word Guidance. When I saw 'G': I thought of God, followed by 'u' and 'i'. 'God, 'u' and 'i' dance.' God, you, and I dance. As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life and once again, I became willing to let God lead. My prayer for you today is that God's blessings And mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God, as God abides in you. Dance together with God, Trusting God to lead and to guide you through each season of your life. This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached. If God has done anything for you in your life, Please share this message with someone else.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards; so let's continue to pray for one another.
