Wisconsin Dams

Cheney hates cheeseheads.

GBRulz brought up the topics of flood plains, flood insurance, buildings, etc.

In '96 much of my area of Oregon was hit by floods. In the suburb of Tualatin, OR which is right next to my town, there was an undeveloped flood plain that was completely under water in the "Flood of '96."

Because of some legal technicality of it being "just" a "100 year flood plain" that whole area has been developed in the past 12 years with a shopping center, post office, large Medical Center(Kaiser), 2 large, multi-storied, apartment buildings, and 3 multi-storied, condo complexes. This entire area is just 3 miles from my house.

I have to shake my head in bewilderment how the builders think this floodplain won't have another flood until 2096. Sure, mathematically it could not happen for another 200 years. At the same time, it could happen next year!

[Freak Out]

It's Cheney's fault.

Impeach him. It's Wisconsin's duty.

i just want to add that when it comes to Wisconsin Dams I'm against them.

Your argument doesn't hold any water with me, Harlan!

Also, out of said buidling, the sewers were backed up in Milwaukee so his basement flooded with sewage. Do to this happening to many, many basements, it was damn near impossible to find someone to take care of it, so my dad and I spent many hours literally ankle deep in shit. It was disgusting.

A few years back this happened to my inlaws. My wife wanted to know if I wanted to go help clean their basement. I told her to go fuck herself, if she would go help I would go help. I remained shit free that day.

Thats kind of a dick move. That's your family, man.

Know shit thats my family, but I draw a line about what I do for inlaws, and trudging around in shit is way past the line donkey.

That is pretty crappy. That's your wife, who should be your best friend. You should be willing to help out her family.

I can't imagine they think too highly of you if you're unwilling to give up an afternoon to help.

Are you trying to pick a fight with me you donkey? You don't know my family, and what is expected of me. I am sorry that your dad makes you clean up shit, I would hate the fact that someone else was able to say no to walking around in a pile of shit. Then I again I bet you were afraid of getting cut off from daddy's business if you didn't help. Man already has you mucking around in a basement full of shit. Shitty.

i'm with nutz

i think it was a dickish move by the in-laws to even ask for help in that situation

no fucking way

i have a hard enough time whiping my own ass, much less clean up the inlaws shit

Not to mention the shit of everyone in the neighborhood. There's no fucking way I would be cleaning shit out of a basement in hip waders. Not even my own house. There's certain things you just have someone else do.

Wiping or whipping? I'm guessing you mean wiping, and then it's the in-laws who do the whooping

[red]

yes, wiping

it was way too early in the morning to try and spell shit right

A few years ago, the stormwater sewers backed up into our basement while we were on vacation. On getting home, we called the sanitation company and they had someone at the house in 15 minutes, they cleaned up the mess and they paid to have a restoration company come in and replace carpet and drywall that were touched by the water. Apparently keeping the sewers running in the right direction is supposed to be their responsibility. I don't think anyone is supposed to be cleaning shit out of their own basements.

Agreed... But there wasn't anyone available when it happens all over a county. Hell we went to four stores on a search for a squeegee only funding one in stock at the fourth. The difference was you probably missed the day after rush. I'd say you were lucky but it sucks no matter what

No way man. Its called being a family and a good person. There isn't anything that I would not do to help about eight or nine people. You had nettet hope that the same doesn't happen to you because I am sure they won't be willing to help or worse yet when your older and your kids won't come help

My point is it seems really selfish. Part of being family is banding together in times of need

Right... But the point is obvious to me that no one was available. Are you going to let all of your stuff get ruined and have potential structural damage to your house? Its not like there are a million waste clean up companies and when it happens to much of a county... Let me just say that I am glad you guys aren't in my family because you gentlemen don't seem very reliable when the shut literally hits the fan

I have a line I wont cross, and cleaning up the neighbors shit is at that line.

[hoosier]

The thing about storm sewers flooding the basement is you're never really sure whose shit you're cleaning up. :P

[Partial]

I have a line I wont cross, and cleaning up the neighbors shit is at that line.

Thats fine. But neighbors aren't family. And I'm just saying don't write anything off until you're in a position of need. I can't imagine a situation where I would not be pissed if a family member would rather sit home and jerk off than help me when the situation is dire like that.

[Zool]

BTW, unless your dad has a wood basement, I dont see any real issues with structural damage. Even then, the water would have to sit there for a ridiculous amount of time.

Not to mention the used tampons floating around from the lady down the street with a little fromage downtown.
