Charmin is evidently evil...

...so we bought this 10 year old nice house in a nice upper middle class residential community just outside the city limits. Since we're not in the city, we do not have sewage, but instead have septic systems. Well, lately we have noticed that flushing just ain't working like it is supposed to, and as of yesterday, nothing, I MEAN NOTHING, was going anywhere but back up and onto our floor....

...so today Kelly gets the septic tank guys out and they find the tank, open it up, and it is literally full to the top... an 8 foot deep septic tank, FULL TO THE TOP. He said it needed to be drained every 3 to 5 years, and he guessed it had never been pumped in the 10 years of its existence. Then he said, "Ya'll use Charmin don't ya?" Kelly, said, "Yeah we do." "Naw... don't use Charmin... it's BAD! Just soaks it all up and swells up like a tick. It'll just fill your tank up with paper. Use AngelSoft instead. Good stuff."

So there you have it. Pump them septic tanks every 3-5 years. And for all that is good and wholesome, DON'T USE CHARMIN.
