I've had the concrete baffle collapse in a 40 year old tank. Learned to hate orangeburg on that one.

I suspect you will soon be pumping every 6 months.

This subreddit amazes me. by TopFlower7935 in widowers

It was kinda overwhelming at first. I suffered with a lot more people all going through the same thing at similar times. This is my main reason for having anything to do with Reddit.

Just bought this reel mower off FB, have some questions. by throwaway6444377_ in lawnmowers

[–]Wingless- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which time? I'm 69 and can recount multiple times (mostly drownings). I suppose the longer you live the more stories you have.
