So, I carted my shampoo, my loofah-like strap, and a favorite towel from my master bathroom to the bathroom off my hallway.<\/p>\n<p>In this <strong><em>other<\/em><\/strong> bathroom, the water pressure was weaker, and I found myself slipping around on the surface (as I did not transfer my plastic bathmat), but I was not ready to spend money on a solution, and I was not about to become a do-it-yourselfer.<\/p>\n<p>I never got a kick out of fixing mechanical things. In some ways, though, clearing my drain seemed like psychotherapy to me.\u00a0 That played into my propensity to procrastinate.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I wanted to shower in my own tub, I was afraid of what needed to be dug out of the pipes first.<\/p>\n<p>Could there be a dead animal down there, or a handful of Q-Tips that jumped off my vanity and gummed up my flow? What was below the chrome and rubber gasketed stopper?<\/p>\n<p>I told a friend about the slowness of my drain.\u00a0 A woman of my age who\u2019s also been single most of her life, she actually enjoys finding remedies to such problems (and loves saving money by doing things herself, too).<\/p>\n<p>She gave me a mini-lecture on the dangers of hair then told me about plastic snakes for drains and the pluses of using a mesh drain cap going forward.\u00a0 She also warned me to have paper towels nearby for disposing of the crud I would invariably find.<\/p>\n<p>I went to Menard&#8217;s.\u00a0 Not a regular shopper, I asked for help from one of their floor clerks.\u00a0 He understood the problem and took me to the right shelf pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<p>There were a few options.\u00a0 He offered the opinion that I probably wouldn\u2019t need a snake that attaches to a crank (for extra leverage).<\/p>\n<p>I saw a selection of flat yellow plastic pieces, probably about 18 inches to two feet long.\u00a0 One end terminated in a ring.<\/p>\n<p>Starting at the other end, going about eight inches up, was a series of quarter inch stems, like the teeth of a comb, sticking out from the flat rod. I guess they were for tangling up hair.\u00a0 The apparatus cost about three bucks.<\/p>\n<p>I tried the yellow plastic drain snake the same day I bought it.\u00a0 At first, I had problems slipping the end through the pipe past whatever things were in the way, but, like a fisherman who knows when he\u2019s got a nibble, I could tell when I snagged onto something and kept my hand in motion until I could pull the rod out.<\/p>\n<p>I pulled up a clumped ball of dark brown hair and placed it on the paper towel I had ready.<\/p>\n<p>Eeuuww!<\/p>\n<p>And again. I repeated this snaking, then hooking, then tugging process a few times, placing my collected gunk on my paper towels.\u00a0 Eventually, I decided my tub drain and nearby pipes were clean enough.<\/p>\n<p>I ran water, smiling at the way the swirling flow of water poured out the bottom of the tub.\u00a0 No wading pool here.<\/p>\n<p>Aaahhhhh!<\/p>\n<p>Having the right tool for the situation is no small thing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks back, I noticed that my shower drain was starting to slow
