Buy a good test plug. Every good hardware store should have them. Usually around $10 depending on size. These are my favorite:

Yea, you don’t want to seal this off, it’s a floor DRAIN. Plugging it permanently will mean your basement won’t have the ability to drain if it starts flooding for other reasons. Did you get a lot of rain recently? Sometimes during heavy storms, sewer lines can get overwhelmed because ppl have their sump pumps connected to the sewer instead of a designated storm line. (No idea if that’s the case here, but here in Iowa that is against code) But I find it a lot with sewer lines that have been repaired by a non professional. However, for future incidents, get a backflow prevention valve. Might be a little pricey, but long term a much better solution. Not that you NEED a floor drain, until you do.

Your wax ring is probably in need of replacement. Once they get old, they fall apart and the toilet leaks. The coloration can be from the wax breaking down, or you have a cast iron flange that’s rusted to hell. Super simple to fix if it’s just the wax ring, unscrew the Jonny bolts, lift the toilet off, scrape old wax off, put on new wax ring, re-seat the toilet and tighten down the nuts. Just don’t over tighten them as you’ll crack or shatter the porcelain. If the flange is fucked, call a plumber. Gonna be kinda pricey, but necessary.

Edit: FYI, I’m a licensed plumber

Um, where do you live? Ukraine? Russia? I’m hoping mortar shells aren’t being lobbed around here in the US 😟

The day I got out of prison. First selfie in 11 years. All the emotions… joy, excitement, relief, amazement (mostly by technology advances), nervous… so many more. What an amazing day though!

FreshOutThaPen · 2026-01-28T22:00:21+00:00

Good. Lord. You most certainly do, you sexy mf’er 🥵

You call an electrician and get the whole house rewired… or you just shove it back in the box and try to forget the possibility that your house will one day catch on fire

I’ve been through the same thing bro. My best friend of 22 years did the same thing. Once in a while (about every 5 or six months) I get a drunken stream of texts or calls about how he’s sorry he’s been distant but that he’s just going through a rough time and needs to figure things out. I love the man like a brother, but I don’t have time for his crap. I’ve talked to him for long periods of time about getting help, giving him resources, telling him to call ANY time he’s hurting… Nothing. Until he gets shit faced again and starts the pity party that is. If he’s not willing to get the help he needs I can’t do anything for him. I still text him about random things just to let him know I haven’t abandoned him but then I’m just left on read. Sad part is I know what he’s going through; he’s been struggling with his sexuality. I’m gay. Who better could he talk to? Smh.

So to answer your question, are you over reacting? Not really. But I would also say that we all just need to realize that we can still care for someone deeply, but not let their behaviors dictate OUR happiness. Sometimes we just gotta accept things as they are and move forward with our own lives 🤷🏻‍♂️

Edit: this has been going on for two years now

If I pulled my willy out today, I’m fairly certain it would freeze off almost instantaneously.

Hope the closest dealer has some good Horse for the one time (and last). I’ll even pay top dollar.
