    For me when Jem came on it was time to turn it off and go play outside.

    I was a boy in the 1980s, my dad would call us “little queers” if my brother and I tried watching that.

    He was also hyper sensitive because my uncle was gay and he always said it was because he was interested in dolls growing up. The dark ages of rampant bigotry it was.

    Was redoing the floors in one my rooms, I had all the air vent covers off. Guess where the cat decided to go?

    Was like the god damn scene from poltergeist where you could hear it all over the house but didn’t know where exactly the meows orginated from echoing through the ductwork.

    I forgot how I coaxed it to an exit, but I do recall grabbing it by the scruff and yanking it out as the cat tried to scamper back in. Went to go clean-up my scratches and the damn thing knocked over what I blocked the vent with and squeezed back in.

    At that point I was tempted to just turn on the furnace heat and call it a day. But didn’t want to deal with the stink.











  • Similar issue, my wife knocked the kids rubber ducky into the toilet well flushing it. A complicated maneuver because she hit it with her elbow knocking the ducky off the top of the tank exactly as she hit flush. Had to auger it to the bottom of the toilet and than unbolt it from the floor and yank it out from the bottom hole because it wouldn’t go past the lip where the toilet met the drain. Honestly probably better it didn’t go into the pipes and get jammed somewhere else I suppose.

    Guess I did all the way up to step 7?

    And, yes I remind her of this folly regularly.
