What about when you live practically equidistant between two stations?
To be fair, I did take out the dusting cloth and pledge on Sunday. I had good intentions but then got distracted. It will sit on my nightstand for at least another week before getting used 
Sounds like standard protocol to me. Carry on.
I encouraged my kids to jump in puddles
My mom did too! Every time it rained me and all the kids from the neighborhood out there riding our bikes thru disgusting street water puddles wading thru the creek. Never got sick or bit by a water moccasin so good parenting. Lol. But Iâd come home soaking wet and muddy and my mom didnât say a word. Now when I was playing Mario Bros on the Nintendo dad bought me against her will, Iâd get a whole lot of: go outside and play; youâve been on that thing for an hour!
Maybe she doing all that to avoid dusting.
I see what you did there. For bothâŚ
We had a very low spot on the sidewalk- about 4 feet wide- we would all put our old clothes on and play in it. It wasnât really muddy or anything. It was mostly surrounded by other cement. Big enough for 4 of us to sit in 
Not quite sure what we actually did though.
Monsoon season in AZ there would be rivers running down the middle of the street! We used to play in that all the time as long as there wasnât lightning. It was so fun, but the gunk in that water makes me shudder to think about now.
I wouldnât play in flood waters anymore, lol. We used to as well. But now I understand what exactly is in the water including the backing up of drains and stuff. IDK how we even survived
Our floods (flash floods) are a little different than yours. I donât think there was any danger of drains backing up. But the oil and gas from cars was probably not great to be bathing in.
Yeah this was what I was playing in!
My Catholic friend always gives up sweets. So this is sucky for her!
I totally read this as moonshine season.
Definitely! We have flash flood warning but itâs not the same at all. We do have canal and river/bayou overflows that can create movement but most of the urban area flooding is due to the fact that we just canât pump the water out the âbowlâ. So when it floods, that water in full of everything thatâs in the canals, bayous, ponds, sewers, etc. It includes all the oils and chemicals. The real risk is infection but no real rushing water or suprises. Itâs very gradual (normally). The lake that I love to swim in during late spring/ early summer is really only safe and âcleanâ when we havenât had rainfall. After a rainfall unfortunately the runoff makes the water unsafe.
