I live in the country and have a septic tank under my lawn that collects the house poop through the years. Periodically it has to be pumped out. 

Surprise! I forgot about that. 

So we had a “Situation” here this week. Poop started backing into the house. All life stopped. For example I haven’t had a shower for 2 days.

Studio Brenda and I had to locate the pump holes so the septic company could come out and pump out the muck.

I have a map of the front yard and where the pump holes are.. but both Brenda and are dyslexic so we couldn’t figure out their position! Right side up looked like upside down to us. 

So Brenda just started digging (Note the piles of dug up grass in the photo). For awhile the lawn looked like a giant gopher had tunneled through it.

But all has ended well. Zack came out and pumped. What a lovely fellow!  
I have found that Septic Pumping men are a fabulous lot. 

In my latest Dear Venus Show #299 I mention a hilarious situation with them years ago at my house with a huge poop disaster!

Lotsa’ Love To You! Venus
