clogged shower drain

Soo very gross! And first thing in the morning. Long curly hair that gets wrapped aroung the prongs about 3" down and catches gets built up with skin, body washes, bubble baths, shampoo, and conditioner run-off is a bitch to get untangled to unclog the shower drain. It's like the stopper grows a dreadlock.

Drano does nothing for it.

How do you prevent it? I have to do it at least once a year and would be much more frequntly if I washed my hair more than twice a week. And I try to get the loose ones in my hand and put them aside so they don't go down the drain.

Stop taking showers? Cut your hair?

j/k

Mama-San had the same problem. She would put the loose hair on the shower wall and then collect them when she was done. We got one of those rubber strainers for the drain and it worked fine. It fits over and catches pretty much everything including my boogers.

I hated having to clean out the drain, nasty job.

I got this thing at Home Depot for a few bucks that is made of a flexible plastic and looks like this

(edges that point up and away on each side, the site will not let me do spaces for it right)

You remove the drain cover and snake it down into the drain and pull it up, the edges pick up all the crud and things run OK again. My fiancee and her daughter have really long hair...

I think that it's called "Zip-It". We have one and it does work great.

I was wondering if something like that existed!

But just as I was starting to get my appetite back a bit from the drain, and then a pic I saw of a friend's cat who has big holes in her hip, then you mention boogers!!! :puke:

Ohhh nooooo (in the voice of the geico girl). I don't think that will work. I've got the little screw-in thing that you twist up and down to stop the water or let it out. And I 99% of the time take baths while using the hand-held shower head to wash my hair.

that thing is brilliant!!!

I was going to suggest brushing your hair before you get in the shower, to help remove some of the loose ones...but BB&B kicked ass on my idea

A curly-haired girl knows to NEVER brush her hair - it'll ruin the curls. (Hell, I don't even use shampoo anymore...)

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
