Grand Lake

friday-follow

The town I live in, Celina, has a 3,000 acre man-made lake. The last couple years we have experienced algae toxins in the water. The smell is horrendous!! The EPA issued a warning advising against physical contact with the water. You could still boat but no swimming. Last week the levels were so high the issued a stronger warning saying not contact and no boating. It has really hurt businesses around the lake. I happen to be a waitress at restaurant that is right on the lake.
This weekend happens to be the biggest festival of the year. It draws in a mass amount of people! In today's paper the headline said that the warning was lifted! Now you tell me how all of sudden the lake is just fine! I can still see and smell the algae! Funny how this happens the day before the Lake Festival!

Would you want to swim in this or drink it?

MMMM...Pasta!

friday-follow
Today I stuffed spaghetti into the garbage disposal. Turns out I may have overloaded my disposal. I ended up clogging up both sides of my sink. Unclogging  it sounded like a job for a man, so I told my fiance, who was in the shower, what I had done. He came out and plunged the sink as hard as he could, still no luck. We decided we try plunging it one more time and pray! Well he must have put all his strength into this because all of a sudden the pipe underneath the sink busted off and sprayed my poor fiance with spaghetti and stinky water!! He was covered from head to toe! It was everywhere!! Unfortunately he didn't think it was as funny as I did!!!! At least he unclogged the sink!
