I think Ida broke me. I get overly worried about rain like this.
It's the smell. Any time I get a whiff of mildew, it's like I'm teleported back to trying to open my door after the storm but had to kick it open because it was so swollen from the rain.
And I absolutely hate that.
My sister live in La. According to her, mold is the state flower. :)
It finally stopped raining, although we still can't flush our toilets.
That must present some problems. Especially the fact you have a family. Does the city provide any type of temp solution???Quote:

No, but I have a few places that we can go to, erm, do our business.
Of course, for my son and me it's fairly easy to go #1. Just go out back to a part that's not visible to the road. Just a bit more difficult for the ladies.
Flushable toilets are back.
Glad to hear it. Somethings are best done at home. :)
Was this just your house or a neighborhood problem???
Probably a combination.
The home I lease had the same exact problem when it'd rain hard, but I switched it from a cesspool to a sewage treatment system and the problem stopped.
The parish doesn't offer sewage treatment in my area, so unless you do like what I did in the house I'm leasing, I imagine you're probably running into the same issue.
Definitely don't have that problem here. There's a good chance we wont see rain again until October or later. Occasionally we might get a little rain passing through but usually it will evaporate before it hits the ground and we just get a humid day.
Hot and dry, that's what I'm use to. I went to Houston to visit my sister, never knew 90degree weather could be so miserable, 90 here during the summer seems very pleasant. But I guess if you live there, it's just normal and not a problem.
I have finally had a day without rain. It's been a while. Still turtles, though. Mostly painted turtles, but I encountered a pair of snapping turtles on the path yesterday (not together).
Unlike the little kid at the fair, I do not care for turtles too much.
There was one time that I went fishing and this same turtle took my bait like 10 times; and trying to unhook a turtle is very unpleasant.
No to mention that a snapping turtle scared the ever-living crap out of me one time.
I just looked it up and found that there's actually two types of snapping turtles: common and alligator.
Probably my ignorance, but I just thought that alligator snapping turtles were older common snapping turtles.
How about an update? Where abouts are you?? Or are you in the witness protection program?Quote:
