I'm assuming it's because they have a septic field rather than city sewage line.  However, this doesn't mean you can't have a disposal, it just means you have to be careful about how much you put down there and be sure not to put certain things.

Install one for them.

Birthday booked.   

It's not my actual birthday, but I'll be in Washington DC with my daughter's eighth grade class for my real unkrista birthday.   

May 26.   Band, booze and food.  Waterfront venue in Gig Harbor, walking distance from my favorite bar.

All are invited, few will be turned away.

"Rexland Acres".  My grandfather owned a bunch of land there when it was first subdivided in the 1940s.  4 streets are named after my aunts and uncles.  The story is that he was going to name the entire subdivision after my mom but he sold the land before it happened.  

It's and absolute cesspool now.

So he named it after Rex Grossman instead?

 
Only in America.  A man can come from a town like Bakersfield, owning vast tracts of cesspool, and in only two generations, his daughter Wat Somdejphramaharajmangalaja's son will be a teacher of history and winner on Jeopardy.

 
My bipolar, alcoholic friend called from the ER again. She's been popping pain pills, and even though the ER is ready to discharge her, she was barely coherent. I refused to go and get her. I told her last time I was done cleaning up her messes, and I could not have been more serious.

I still feel like a miserable excuse for a human being.

:(  You’re a great friend and great person with great magical space hair.  You’re doing the right thing, though I understand why you still feel bad about it anyway.  You can’t fix everything (or probably anything) for her, but it’s admirable how hard you’ve tried to.  The friendship also sounds ridiculously imbalanced.

this was the correct response

hard as it might be. don't let her use you as a crutch so she can continue to make bad decisions and expect either for you to bail her out, or to use you as an excuse/blame.

Ah that's how the addicts work the system. They abuse sympathy and good will until there's none left at which point they might sober up, or not.  Not your problem, you did the right thing.

You’re not wrong in the least.  It’s a two-way street.  Being a good friend also includes not putting your friends in crappy positions over and over.

 
Thanks to all for the support. She just called to tell me she was home, that she was "not doing well," and that she loved me. :mellow:

tough as it sounds, you're not responsible for whatever she may do to herself.

i've received that call a number of times from someone in my life. thus far it has turned out to be nothing but a manipulative demand for attention. unfortunately, some people use vague threats to force people closer.

No, no, don't worry. I'm sure I'll be fine.

 
She called again at midnight, after which I turned off my phone. This morning I had two identical texts asking "Can you come when you come when you come when you get off." I told her we'll see.
