Mother never told me
they would be days like this.
My downstairs toilet overflowed overnight. Plumber can't come till late this evening. No water in the house. A stray kitty I took in is giving birth under my bed. Help!!!!

1. I'm in the eastern time zone, and there's still quite a bit of day remaining.
What will happen next, I wonder . . . .

5. It happened - my daughter just
called me - pipes broke under her sink. Maybe we should both just run away from home.

8. The kitty will take care of her stuff, take pictures please
Go buy a gallon of water and more kitty food. Toilets overflowing are the worst! :hug: So sorry. You know, most toilets can be shut off at the base, I am not sure why you don't have water in the rest of the house. I can be pretty dense though.

10. If you'd only heeded my suggestions...

...and hoarded freakin' LAKES of beer, right now you'd be realizing how insignificant all these alleged problems are.

11. Oh wow! That's a bad day, alright!
Best wishes, I've had the toilet thing happen before. Unfortunately the house with the 2 kids home was in Maryland, and I was in London. They didn't even call a plumber. It was nasty, after 2 weeks.

Oh, and thank you for taking in the kitty! Let us know how that turns out. Pics please! :)

Take care, and bless your heart! :hug:

12. The cat will be fine and so will the kittens. If you need to piss, hit the nearest fast food joint.
They won't notice.

13. Could be worse. Could be an upstairs toilet and that kitty could have a white stripe down its back.
It doesn't, does it?
