Septic here too. I've only had a minor problem 2 times. Both times Dh was cleaning something, and made a strong chlorine solution using chlorine tablets, and water. He poured the remainder down the drain. The first time, I didn't realize what he'd done. The second time it dawned on me what he had done. When I asked him about it, he said he did it, and couldn't understand why I was so upset. When he got inside, and saw the mess from it backing up into the bathtub, and showers, he knew why I was upset. I realize he's had city water, and sewage since he left his mother's home, but dang, for a guy that grew up with a septic system, you'd think he's know more.

I've seen the krill oil advertised too, but didn't think too many brands used krill.

Septic systems, leach fields. We no need no stinkin septic system. No pun intended,

Here in MO, a lot of new construction puts in septic systems in rural areas. Over the hill is very popular tho. Only restrictions is that you have to have the outflow no closer than 100 feet from your property line or neighbor. Our ummmm grey water and other....stuff....discharges into a ravine behind our house. Wild flowers and trees love it, lol and I have to admit that you really do not know it's there except for the really really really tall weeds.

We did have a septic system back in IL. When we sold the place the buyer was getting a HUD loan which meant everything under the sun had to be inspected. When they went to do the septic system which had never caused us a minutes trouble, we get this call from the Health Dept telling us the Septic system failed inspection. When we asked why they said that it was buried so deep they couldn't find it which meant it was probably outdated and we would have to replace it....in a house that we no longer lived in and had under contract to sell. I freaked literally. DH got a glimpse at what a red head temper can do when in full screech. Short story, we wound up having to fork out thousands in order to sell the house.

I LOVE over the hill.

Speaking of screech. I have four bantam crosses that are piling into two nests and trying to team brood whatever eggs they can find. Never fails. You tell the hens, PAY ATTENTION GIRS! NO MORE CHICKS! And suddenly every feather head you own wants to go broody. What is chuckleatious is my coop rooster, a sweet little BBR who was blinded in one eye earlier this spring in a testosterone fueled duel with the alpha rooster (who lost the covering of his upper beak in the altercation) keeps moving from nest box to nest box, softly cooing to the girls and urging them on to hatch him some eggs! He needs chicks!

Today I went in, emptied the nesting boxes of hens and eggs, pushed the hens outside to cool off their bellies, turned around and there was little Barney, pacing between nesting boxes trying to find his broody hens. When I told DH about him, he chuckled and said, well at least the little guy has a job!

Any bets that I'll be shoving eggs under them in the next few days?

Yes, tree pollen here is terrible also. DH and I were out this morning working on our timber project, thinning trees and everything is blooming. It's a love hate thing. Everything is so pretty....and makes me stuff up and sneeze.

......or gives me poison ivy which it looks like I knelt in at some point because I have it all over my knees.

All this wasp talk reminded me of the wasp nest I encountered in my ole backhoe. And wasn't just the one, there was multiples.

Our electric swatter broke first time hubby used it. I got him a tennis racquet.

He didn't pee on it did he? Have you seen the comic videos of (stupid) guys doing so? Really pretty hilarious.

Reminds me of the time growing up when the septic tank filled up! stuff coming up out of the shower drain....

That's pretty nasty that it backed up to that point... is an understatement...
