Not about your post, but I really wish I'd known about that compressed air-drain thing while I still owned Camp Character. Never mind all the other things I don't miss about that place -- it's the not standing in two inches of water in the shower no matter what I did that I really don't miss.

And, for your #1, can I just say that you BROKE that bone! Not a girl to do things halfways, are you? :)

Oh, hey, speaking of the can of compressed air, Flylady has an airgun thing called the "Clog Cannon." Don't have it (yet?), but anything else I've ever bought from her has worked like gold. So, if you want an unlimited use blow-air-down-the-drain thingie, you might want to check it out.
