orval, we kind of wandered around the yard a little bit, but we live in the PNW so the ground is used to dealing with lots of water, and it had rained the night before we got the notification, so everything was already wet. But we didn't notice any spots that seemed extra squishy. But our yard is also edged with a bunch of bushes, so it's possible the leak could be directly under a bush and we wouldn't be able to tell.
I’m on day 4 of COVID. Everyone else is still negative in my house - I’m holding my breath because it seems crazy that no one else will get it. DS and DH both have runny noses, so perhaps the positive test will come tomorrow. I got hit hard but think I may be starting to turn the corner 🤞🏻
I'm in the same place. I'm really hoping the kids avoid this. I feel terrible for putting a wrench in their holiday plans.

We recently had an excess water + squishy yard issue. Ours came to light because the neighbor in our backyard had recently planted some trees. Those trees apparently died and when his landscapers went to plant new trees, they told him the ground was abnormally wet and that's why the trees initially died.
This neighbor called the water company who gave him no answers so he called the public works department in our town. The public works guy came out and went through all of our yards and decided that our house and our next door neighbor's houses were pumping enormous amounts of water through our sump pumps and apparently those pumps were all dumping into two neighbor yards - the one who originally came to me and another house next to him.
$5K later for my house to re-route these sump pump pipes out of the back yard and through the front yard into the town drain and I think the issue is fixed. The next door neighbor did the same project with the same plumber so I'm sure he also spent $5K. I'm afraid to ask the backyard neighbor if his yard is better because he was a real PITA to me over FB messenger during the 10 business days from when the township notified us of the problem until the plumber could come out and do the work.
Right before all of this, I was feeling just a little flush with cash and thinking about buying myself a fancy purse for the summer just because. Not anymore. I can look out my front window and see my purse money in ugly my dug up yard instead.
The kids have been home all weekend and DS1 will be here all day tomorrow too. Then we're going camping. In the woods. With no electronics. For 3 days. I'm starting to regret our choice to go camping immediately following a long weekend. lol
Dear Lord, they summoned springs on HIH. I started at the last page and didn’t read it all. There seems to be some doubt that it’s her, but it is 1000% her lol. I don’t know why they did that to themselves!
Ok douche, go ahead and call it mud. My husband DID have halitosis. We addressed it after I talked to you girls on here and guess what? Years later, no problem. Mofongo, you're a cunt. Eat shit. ~anonnamus

She's the ranch dressing poster, right? I stick to the blinds over there.

Yes, but also all things service related in restaurants. She’s springs 1, all one word, hopefully she won’t see us!! But, we can always just ignore her as it is truly like beating your head into a wall

For sure. No one else would take the time to type out and post that long wall of text. She is passionate if nothing else.
The fireworks can stop any time now. DS is petrified and we both need sleep. Just call me Karen.
I’m right here with you. 2 years ago a loose firework hit our house (everything was fine) but ever since then my 9 yo has been absolutely petrified at every thunderstorm and whenever people set off fireworks. It’s really awful. Ugh.
I only took 1/2 my usual edible dose because I needed to clean for my in-laws arriving tomorrow, and I couldn't afford to get as distracted as I normally do, and it was kind of the perfect dose for effective cleaning, but not enough for a solid pelostoned ride. Whomp whomp.
But on a positive note, the county fireworks ban that went into effect has put a bit of a damper on the local neighborhood shenanigans. There are definitely still scofflaws out there, but the house isn't shaking. My H commented that the neighbors up the road weren't lighting any off this year, and I was said, yeah, because those were all being done by middle-aged dads, and their wives probably told them no way were they paying a fine when the neighbors turned them in.

Holy shit. Page 5. I swear it's the longest post I've ever read over there. People were even saying they didn't know a reply box fit all that.
How in the hell does this person have time to write out a manifesto every time they are summoned?
