oh, my. sikesy, you are reliving my life!! one t'giving everyone else had gone to my sister's 6 hrs away, and i was at home because i had to work friday. i took every piece of dirty clothing, every sheet, blanket, comforter, pillow, rug, in short anything that could be washed and piled it in the laundry room, next to the 1/2 bath. who knew the sewer would back up? i was lifting, dragging, swearing, pushing nasty, nasty stuff out the back door and it just made the river flow faster! if i could have lit the house up with butane lighters, i would have, and taken the pets to the movies with me, to be sure we were gone long enough that nothing could be saved. i didn't, but i sure did wish i could!!!
