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.

(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...)

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
