I'm having a bad day and need to tell my Monty friends what I have learned.

First, avoid Thetford toilet paper at all costs. We've been using it for years with no problems. All of a sudden it will NOT breakdown and we are attempting to unplug the black tank for the 2nd time this week. We have already thrown away all Thetford TP and purchased Angel Soft. AS passes the water test with flying colors. We dumped an entire bottle of digester down the toilet last night out of desperation. Did it do any good? Absolutely not. So, don't use Odorless or something like that. Because it is just as useless as Thetford at doing what it says it will do.

Second, this whole propane tank thing is really beginning to get old. See Bernie's post on heating tanks. I am sick and tired of waking up at 5:00 am to a 39 degree interior. 'Nuf said.

Third, I'm not sure why but yesterday it took me 8 hours to get 3 loads of laundry completed. This goes back to the black tank. Having to turn off the water pump because of the toilet wand being used. I'm not going to explain it, just trust me. I was here.

Now, I want to thank each and every one of you for all of your wonderful and thoughtful suggestions. Bernie is currently on the roof making sure our sewer vent is open. It took 4 hours, but we now have our interior temp up to 70 and I stil need to go to the bathroom. Maybe the dog should take me for a walk. I am going to go sit in a corner and cry. I will recover and be back to my happy self in no time. However, I may need Ozz to get me in with that therapist that he said I don't need because I'm too mellow! Tee Hee Hee I just keep reminding myself that I do love the cold weather and I am having fun!
