I wonder what the government will try and ban next? Fireplaces? Wood burning stoves?

I have asthma. But got it in my 30's when I got bronchitis 3 times in a row. That is what the doctor said. Bronchitis 3 times back to back. We has gas stoves in about 4 places I lived. The rest was electric. In my daughters house, she has gas water heater and heat.
Hmmmm how do they heat the White House ? Do they have electric limo's ? I bet they have many fireplaces too !
Let's go party at the White House !!!!!!This is the only political question I have enjoyed so far ! Gives U food for thought !

Go further back, how about 1861 when the IRS started? More recently was the TSA at our airports who basically do nothing but frisk old ladies in wheelchairs and little kids. Should I go on? Everyday we give up more and more freedoms and look where we are now? Republicans, Democrats, what's the difference? All show from a bunch of grifters who do nothing, create nothing, but they sure have a way of getting the people to fight each other instead of going after them!

If people would only see this, we could hold all those politician's feet to the fire...so to say.

I don't know, and will sit on the fence on this one for awhile.

But..... a 50 year study is hardly out of the blue~~

and..... a gas stove has an open flame while gas furnaces & hot water heaters have an enclosed within the unit flame and are not usually situated when folks spend a lot of time~~

I remember when everyone poo- poo'ed all the studies about smoking and then the effects of second hand smoke on non-smokers.

I think we need to keep an open mind ~~~

I feel for you, I had bronchitis once in my whole life, wasn't very pleasant that I recall.

LOL, no, they do not have electric limos yet that I know of. The WH has plenty of fireplaces. Good to know, we can all go there if we need a nice warm place to party!!

I live in an all electric house, but if I lose power, I can always go outside to cook and make a hot pot of coffee. I also have a generator if I need it. Wonder if those will get banned in the future?

Didn't think of this as a political blog, but since the government is involved, I guess you are right about that. Glad you enjoyed it!

You can sit on the fence as long as you want to Rocket.

Gas stoves are a lot safer now then they were back when I was a kid. One thing I like about them is no pilot light that can get blown out. Gas leak!! Now that could end up being pretty darn dangerous!

When the government steps in and wants to ban something I will always be suspicious of why. Smoking is one thing, but appliances? What about the light bulbs, or even wanting to ban toilets that weren't those low flush commodes? I have one, I don't like it at all. Takes two to three times to flush, might as well have kept the old one. That's the one in the guest bathroom, the master bath has the good one.

Two or three times to flush???????????????????????????

Shorten the chain so it will raise the flapper higher allowing a MORE sudden influx of water into the bowl.

Be sure the sewer vent that goes up through the roof is not stopped up with bird nest etc. It must AIR siphon through that vent in order to flush FAST.

If I shorten the chain anymore it won't close after a flush. There are no blockages in the sewer vents for the drain. Thanks for the tips, but that isn't the problem. Totally different commode than what's in the other bathroom.

Or the septic system needs to be pumped out.
It may have backup into the main sewer line which can keep the septic lateral lines flooded causing the system to resist flushing.

There should be a clean out cap on the line near the house. Remove the cap---- if water is standing there in the pipeline ----- That can be slowing the system. ----indicating the septic should be pumped out.

We have both types here also. LOL
The new type gives a lot of trouble.
I finally had to adjust the float in the tank so the water level was only 1/4 inch below the overflow tube. It has been working OK for about 1 month now.
Hopefully it will last for another month or two. LOL

LOL, see, those new commodes are a pain in the you know what!!!

One thing that did help.--------I bought a new flushing handle with metal bendable arm -----------bent it way downward then set the chain with only about 6 links slack.

That allowed the lever to raise the flapper much higher than before ----- end of arm up almost to lid level ------- that allows a sudden massive flow into the bowl -------flushing it quickly.

set float to hold water 1/4 inch below overflow.

I guarantee that one will work. LMAOFF!
Call it TX re-engineered toilet especially for Niles. LOL


Nileyears replies on 1/12/2023 5:29 pm:
Another way is to tell my guests to hold the handle down until the darn toilet completely flushes. LOL, that works too!!

Well, if it was the septic tank it would screw up the toilet in the master bathroom first since that one is closest to the tank. Besides, it gets cleaned out every four years just so I don't have those kinds of problems. YUCK!! Reminding me of my brother's septic tank trouble, what a pain!!

I will give the float a try and see if that works. The handle is shorter in this tank I noticed, not sure bending it would work. LOL, with my luck I'd probably break it if I tried! Well, if I do, I'll get a longer one that bends.

With what's going on in the news, it seems like things are being set up to get rid of him. Think about how they tried to cover up Hunter's laptop and now are reporting it as real. Russian hoax to reality. Wow, what a concept huh?

It's a non-issue old boy ...

Building Code is local. Big changes like that go into effect on NEW CONSTRUCTION ........ and in the Building Permit Dept ... and are enforced by Building Inspectors.

And you can't just switch willy nilly from gas to electric ... you're going to need 220 wiring / or rewiring that likely costs more than the new stove ...........sorry old boy, Biden aint gonna touch that with a ten-foot pole ... he's winning.

Hank, you got what we call ANGRY DISK-JOCKEY SYNDROME

Keep on rocken in the free world
