No frozen pipes here but I had a serious clog in the line that was causing my kitchen sink to back up every time I ran the washing machine. It's been an issue for a while but getting worse the last few weeks to the point where I did laundry on Thursday and my kitchen sink was full and didn't drain at all for three days. Drano didn't work at all. My last resort before calling a plumber was going to Home Depot and buying a 25 foot auger then snaking the line from behind the washing machine, and after doing that, the sink drained completely, so it must've worked. We'll see next time I do laundry if it's fully cleared or only partially, but I'm happy with the progress made and being able to fix things DIY instead of spending hundreds with a plumber.
Good luck! I've been in a similar situation with a house I rented in upstate NY. The tub and toilet somehow got backed up and no matter what I did would unclog it.
My landlord said my neighbor had a snake I could borrow so I did.
I was a commercial solar technician at the time and figured it couldn't be rocket science to do my own plumbing in the basement with the snake. Ended up taking all the piping apart and snaked the hell out of everything. Panicked for a second and felt like the 3 stooges plumbing episode but I was able to put it back together without leaks lol.
And it didn't fix my issue. Traveled out west for work a couple days after that and my landlord had a plumber come and fix the issue.

Good choice! We have a Subaru Outback and it's a great car. Solid, reliable, drives very well, comfortable. Hopefully your Crosstrek serves you equally well.
The Crosstrek and the XV are the same car. Just different model names. 'XV' has typically been used in Australia, Japan and Europe, 'Crosstrek' in the US and Canada.

NESN has done many dumb things but cutting Guerin ranks near the top.
She was beloved by everyone but was cut loose after 2000 as Tom Werner demanded more diversity on Sox games.

I agree. I really enjoyed her. There was no reason to cut her. In fact, they should of kept her along with all the other new hires. She was knowledgeable. Funny. Players loved her. She worked well with the broadcast crew.
Such a shame. I'm surprised she's not on NBCSN.

It's really the science of it that intrigues me. Baking is very much affected by the amounts of the ingredients and how long a certain step is performed, which really fits my personality. Cooking, which is much more about feel (at least in a lot of cases) is much harder for me.
Yes I’ve been to Sams. Many times, but not in a couple years. The first time i went the sandwiches were $13.95. A couple years ago i believe it was $17.95. It’s even more expensive now but at least it’s good, and the portions are bigger than you think. You could stop at half a sandwich for lunch, but it’s so good you won’t be able to.

Hot or cold, packed with veggies or a meat lover’s dream, sandwiches around Boston keep hungry hands full.www.timeout.com
I work in DTC, and Sam LaGrassa's is nearby. So is Luke's (seafood and crustation creations -- lobster rolls, crab, etc.)
Pricey -- a sandwich from either is, like, $25.
Cheap bastard that I am, I'll eventually check both.
In the meantime: Has anyone been to Sam LaGrassa's (no. #2 on the list of local best above), Luke's, or both?
Reviews much appreciated, especially per best in show/your favorite,
If you’re gonna go, go all the way and don’t get some like chicken salad or ham and cheese. Get a pastrami diablo, or a chipotle corned beef or something. They’re all very good but the ones that you look at and say “woah, that is probably a great sando” are definitely excellent. My go to was the pastrami corned beef combo
Just those prices now. Yikes.

So my old car is stuck at the top of my driveway (hill). It will start but won't move. I figure it is the clutch or the transmission.
I have a condex and thankfully the car leaves enough room for my neighbor to get in and out. It would be bad it we got snow as the plow would not be able to get around the Honda.
I called a company today that will come and take it away by tomorrow. The said I would have to get the plates off. The plates were rusted on, and I don't have much for tools, so I called my neighbor who lives across the street. He was able to get the plates off. He and his wife recommended the Subaru dealer so they will send them a $100 gift card.
It is strange to not have a car and I am looking forward to getting the new one and learning how to drive it.

WOW. They just pulled a kid out of the wreckage from the earthquake in Turkey after a week of being beneath the mess. That is a miracle as it is cold.
Those poor people.

Truly a miracle. Thar earthquake is just so devastating. I wish I could help. Just breaks me heart.
Bits I don't know where else to post. I love a day off, and I have two in a row.

Thanks for the review.
Yes. Don't go to a steak house and order chicken. As Anthony Bordain wrote, correctly, people who order chicken usually don't know what they want.
I want what I want, and what I want is either the Diablo or the Chipolte corned beef.
Thank you, sir.
My landlord told me he just kept dumping drano down and it eventually cleared. Didn't really see it first hand since I was in Cali working for 2 weeks.

Been super fortunate/grateful being asked to speak at local High Schools and Colleges to discuss addiction/recovery over the years etc...two weeks or so ago I spoke at a HS, grade 12 students, afterwards, a really sweet young lady approached me, said she was terrified with her dad`s drinking, he wasn`t/isn`t violent but drinking, at least a dozen beers a day, was just let go from another job etc...
I provided her with a number he could call when he`s ready, she can beg, plead with him but only until someone is truly ready will they change. I got a call Saturday afternoon from our local AA office as I`m on a list there for them to call me if someone is looking to go to a meeting but is hesitant not knowing anyone. I agreed to meet the man at a Tim Horton`s prior to the meeting, he walked in, after some small talk, I discovered it was that young ladies father.
He now has 3 days sober, taking him to a meeting tonight. No guarantees he`ll stay sober but always grateful to be of service to others

Incredible that today was the first I read about the train derailment in Ohio. Terrifying and heartbreaking for all the lives this is going to destroy. Seeing firefighters in the midst of it turns my stomach.
My brother used to work for CP Rail (retired) and he warned everyone, don't live anywhere near a train track because they have been cutting safety inspections and regulations for so long. He said it was a disaster waiting to happen.....guess it just happened.
