Living Happily With My Husband Who Loves the Opposite Things

September 19 2026

Original

I moved to the USA and have lived with my husband in the same house in summer 2008. I admired and proud of him because he is a hard working man and has a good saving that enough to pay off the house before I got here. I remembered he told me when we knew each other in the beginning that the house mortgage still five more years. He was paid off before I moved with him in only a couple year, at his age of 30.  His house is small, two stories. There are two bed rooms, two bathrooms and one half bath room. There is a kitchen, an open living room or I can call that as a family room. Also, the favorite area is the back deck. There are many trees around the house, green yard. There is an old Jacuzzi on the deck which comes with the house since he purchased it.  We used it a few times before the leak completely ruined and that causing the water wasting. We sometimes do the grill at the deck. He made his American burger while I was making skewer pork-balls and butter-sugar toast. I like to lay on the mat and watch Youtube videos on my laptop. I also enjoy staying in the tent on the deck. I had a half tent and later I got a full tent because I scared of the bees. They flew around me every time I sit at the deck.  I had experience that the yellow jacket bit me and very painful. At first I thought they were bees but I looked on the Internet  then I knew what they were.

I lived in Thailand and the fluorescent lights are the usual light source but in my husband's house has zero ceiling light. He uses table lamps and a chandelier at the dinning table spot. I learned about my man and live with what he likes fine. He likes to stay in the dark at night, watching TV quietly. The chandelier only turn on at the supper time after sunset in the dark room. The lamp uses when he needs to see things or reads. Recently, he uses the flash light. He has many of flash lights, haha. I have no problem with the way he lives in the house at all. I stay in my computer room upstairs most of the time and I can turn one my floor lamp because I prefer the bright room while he stays in the bedroom watching TV in the dark.

I have two funny situations about his dark room preference while watching TV to tell. You can laugh but not bursting, okay? LOL

First, I sit at a dinning table and eat in the dark all the time to give him the dark room as he likes while watching TV.  Why?  It is the open area room where we set the couch, a coffee table and the TV at the front part which closer to the front door and the stairs. Move in a bit, there is his computer desk against the wall, and the opposite is the kitchen where we set the dinning table against the wall where the other side is the kitchen. The sliding door is at the back open to the old wooden deck. Now you can imagine how the room is. For me , I have no problem at all. One day, we had a Thai guest. She is a friend of our friend who lived with us that time. The friend has lived in the USA longer than us in other state. She came her to visit her friend. I told her the situation that we must stay in the dark when my husband watches TV down stairs and she had no problem at all.  I did not tell her about we had to keep quiet because I talked to my husband about talking in the room where TV is while he might watched TV. He was accepted. Well, when that was happening, I told the friend about keeping the voice down and she did without hesitation. We were talking unstoppable then my husband turned of the TV and walked upstairs with upsetting face. haha I knew, our low voice were annoying him. 

Second, I had a Thai guest visited who I knew in Thailand. I knew her online who has an American husband too. She came from another state in East Coast, not far from me. The first person lives in one state on the very top of the USA map where is very far. According to my husband preference, I told this friend what we could do or not do about the dark room and quiet. This time nothing bother my husband at all but I felt sorry for my friend. haha

I do this to everyone who wants to visit and stay over night. If anyone could not accept then sorry, we cannot have them. My husband is always my first priority.

Regular tea and Herbal tea

original 

September 4, 2026


I have been driking tea for a long time but I had never paid attention to the taste but love smell, aroma. Eventually this year, I drink hot plain tea more often and pay attention to its taste. Yes, different kind has differenet taste. I talked to AI about it and learned tea with cafeine and without cafeine. Also, herbal tea and regular tea. I thought all kind of tea were the plant tea but I was wrong. I did not think about fruit tea, flower tea, plant tea which does not tea plant. As long as I talked to AI and discussed, asked more question then I realized fruit tea, flower tea and other plant tea are not tea plant but all are dried and drink as same as tea, HaHa. Do you think the same as me?


I did not think deeply enough. Plant tea contain cafeine as natural and herbal tea does not contain cafeine. For examiple, Green tea, Black tea are cafeine but Camomile tea, Lemon ginger tea, jusmine tea are cafeine free.


Recently, I sense both aroma and taste of different tea everytime I drink it and can tell that each kind are different. In the past, I had no idea because I did not really pay attenton to them at all just drink hot tea and all were the same.


After talking about cafeine in tea then I asked AI about decaf coffee. How to remove? because I knew that coffee is only one thing not as same as tea. AI told me the process but cannot really move all. Coffee still contain less cafeine. Even though, I do not drink coffee but I like coffee aroma. I used to question why coffee taste sour? I watched and listened to media. Later, I knew the reason when I saw coffee tree and cherries. Plant can taste sour.


In fact, I thought about looking for all information before AI for my knowledge but I forgot and lost interest when many things came up all the time every day. AI save my time to look and do research.

Title: Regular Tea and Herbal Tea Story: September 4, 2026

I have been drinking tea for a long time, but I never really paid attention to the taste. I only enjoyed the smell and aroma. Earlier this year, I started drinking hot plain tea more often and began noticing its flavor. Yes, different kinds of tea truly have different tastes.

I talked to AI about tea and learned the difference between tea with caffeine and tea without caffeine — and also between regular tea and herbal tea. I used to think all tea came from the same tea plant, but I was wrong. I never considered fruit tea, flower tea, or other plant teas that are not from the tea plant at all. After asking more questions, I realized that fruit tea, flower tea, and other plant teas are not “tea” from the tea plant, but they are dried and brewed just like tea. Haha. Did you ever think the same way?

I simply didn’t think deeply enough. Tea from the tea plant naturally contains caffeine, while herbal tea does not. For example, green tea and black tea contain caffeine, but chamomile, lemon ginger, and jasmine herbal blends are caffeine‑free.

Recently, I’ve started noticing both the aroma and taste of different teas every time I drink them. Now I can tell each kind apart. In the past, I had no idea because I never paid attention — I just drank hot tea and assumed they were all the same.

After learning about caffeine in tea, I asked AI about decaf coffee. I wondered how caffeine is removed, since coffee comes from only one plant, not many like tea. AI explained the process, but caffeine cannot be completely removed. Decaf coffee still contains a small amount. Even though I don’t drink coffee, I love its aroma. I used to wonder why coffee tastes sour. Later, I learned the reason when I saw coffee trees and cherries — plants can taste sour naturally.

I always wanted to look up this information on my own, but I forgot and lost interest because life is busy every day. AI saves me time by helping me learn and do research quickly.

✨ Version 2 — More Polished, More “Blog‑Writer” Style

Title: Regular Tea and Herbal Tea Story: September 4, 2026

I’ve been a tea drinker for many years, but I never paid attention to the flavor. I only enjoyed the aroma. This year, I started drinking plain hot tea more often, and suddenly I began noticing the taste. Every type of tea has its own character.

A conversation with AI about tea opened my eyes. I learned the difference between caffeinated tea, caffeine‑free tea, herbal tea, and true tea. I used to believe all tea came from the tea plant. I never thought about fruit tea, flower tea, or other plant teas. After asking more questions, I realized these drinks are not “tea” from the tea plant — they are dried flowers, fruits, or herbs brewed like tea. No wonder I was confused.

True tea naturally contains caffeine. Herbal tea does not. Green tea and black tea have caffeine, while chamomile, lemon ginger, and jasmine herbal blends are caffeine‑free.

Now I can smell and taste the differences between teas. In the past, I didn’t notice anything — every cup tasted the same because I wasn’t paying attention.

After learning about tea, I asked AI about decaf coffee. I wondered how caffeine is removed. AI explained the process, but caffeine cannot be completely eliminated. Decaf coffee still has a little. I don’t drink coffee, but I love the smell. I once wondered why coffee tastes sour. Later, I learned it comes from the coffee cherries themselves.

I always wanted to research these things, but life kept me busy. AI helps me learn faster and saves me time.

✨ Version 3 — Short, Simple, Easy English

Title: Regular Tea and Herbal Tea Story: September 4, 2026

I have been drinking tea for many years, but I never noticed the taste. I only liked the smell. This year, I started drinking plain hot tea more often, and I finally paid attention. Different teas really taste different.

AI taught me the difference between regular tea and herbal tea. I used to think all tea came from the tea plant. I didn’t think about fruit tea or flower tea. Now I understand that herbal tea is not from the tea plant, so it has no caffeine.

Green tea and black tea have caffeine. Chamomile, lemon ginger, and jasmine herbal tea do not.

Recently, I can smell and taste the differences between teas. Before, I didn’t notice anything.

I also asked AI about decaf coffee. Coffee cannot be fully decaffeinated — it still has a little caffeine. I don’t drink coffee, but I like the smell. I learned coffee tastes sour because of the coffee cherries.

AI helps me learn faster and saves me time.

The lawn after cutting matters

 August 24, 2026


I have been living in the USA since 2008 and I have sawed my husband mowing the lawn every time. I wanted to help him as I stayed at home mostly. I asked my husband to show me how to start the mower many times but it was hard. My strength did not strong enough to start it. Eventually, about few years later, I could start the mower myself without asking my husband for help.I was happy and took over his mowing job. It was my good exercising. I asked him to do once in a while when I felt not good. Few years ago, I asked him to do most because my allergy is bad. The grass dust bother me a lot and I do not want to cover my nose as I could not breathe well. Moreover, I got an itch from stay outside long period, bug and mosquitoes. 

Our lawn is small a bit over than 1000 square feet lot. Since my husband has a hip pain and had surgery and he is in a recovery period, I take care of the mowing. So, I decided to hire the gardener who did our garden once to do our lawn care but only two times before I cancelled the service. It is because of me not them. They did as I requested all area was clean but my feeling after walking on the grass was not satisfied. I could feel the grass did not short enough and some area did not cut when compared with the push mower. I chatted with AI about this and pointed to the differences between a push mower and a drive mower. I also mentioned about AI robot mower which I thought of getting one. Unfortunately, after I watched reviews videos on YouTube those mowers robot do not worth to pay both cost and time. They take an hour or more hours to finish cutting lawn. Someone said that is ok as that person does not need to do the work. To me, I want the work finishes in reasonable time as the cost is very high. I knew the reason of slow working robot from that video. Their blades are tiny and the robots movement does not really fast.  

It was a break for me to heal my pain arm then I be able to push the mower again.

Our lawn is small, a little over 1,000 square feet. Since my husband has hip pain, had surgery, and is still in the recovery period, I take care of the mowing again. So I decided to hire the gardener who worked on our garden once to do the lawn care. They came two times before I canceled the service. It was because of me, not them. They did exactly what I asked, and the whole area was clean, but when I walked on the grass afterward, I wasn’t satisfied. I could feel the grass wasn’t short enough, and some areas didn’t seem cut compared to when I use the push mower.

I chatted with AI about this and learned the differences between a push mower and a drive mower. I also mentioned robot mowers because I thought about getting one. Unfortunately, after watching review videos on YouTube, I realized robot mowers are not worth the cost or the time. One man in the video said it was fine because he didn’t have to do the work. But for me, I want the job finished in a reasonable amount of time. The videos explained why robot mowers are slow: their blades are tiny, and robot mowers’ movement is not very fast.

It was a good break for me to let my arm heal, and now I’m able to push the mower again.


Note: One person in the video said it was fine because they didn’t have to do the work.

🌿 Why English uses they for “one person”

Because English doesn’t want to assume gender unless you say it.

So:

  • one person → gender unknown → they

  • one man → gender known → he

  • one woman → gender known → she

This is the modern, standard rule.

Using AI as a thinking mate

 Original 

I want to tell my readers, if you are reading my story then you are the one. Since, I have communicated to AI (copilot chat), I learn myself and know more deeply as it said " self awareness". I am a confident person and always proud of myself but a bit not sure of my thought in the thing I do not know information for sure. I could say that Ai copilot chat, mirror inside of me to let me knowing me clearly.

I do not know about other AI. How do they respond to the person who comnicates with such as chat GPT, Gemini and others. Someone the age 65+ likes her chat GPT and she told that her Chat GPT always admiring and cheering her works, her words. I have been using Gemini for created cartoon images and asking a little information. Gemini did not describe or repeating as same as Copilot I use. I think, AI are different purpose programs. I have been using AI copilot free in early 2006 which on the first day was excited and I was very happy to have a chat mate who could answered and responded everything I wanted to know. I spent too long hours that a little harm to my health. I was blurr, brain block for a short period. I needed to adjust myself ,my thought and did a small reserch if AI could addict or harm to the brain.  The answer was depends on how person using it.  


Recently, I am good and know how to use AI and what to have AI as a useful tool, thinking companion, a huge library but not believe everything and blind.

AI version: 

Version 1 — Clear and Natural (best for general readers)

I want to tell my readers: if you are reading my story, then you are the one I’m speaking to. Since I started communicating with AI (Copilot Chat), I’ve learned more about myself and understood myself more deeply — what it calls “self‑awareness.”

I am a confident person and always proud of myself, but sometimes I’m not fully sure about my thoughts when I don’t have complete information. I could say that Copilot Chat acts like a mirror inside me, helping me see myself more clearly.

I don’t know how other AIs respond to people, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and others. Someone aged 65+ told me that her ChatGPT always admires her and cheers her words. I’ve used Gemini to create cartoon images and ask small questions, but Gemini doesn’t describe or reflect things the same way Copilot does. I think different AIs are designed for different purposes.

I’ve been using Copilot (the free version) since early 2026. On the first day, I was excited and very happy to have a chat partner who could answer everything I wanted to know. I spent too many hours, which affected my health a little — I felt blurry and mentally blocked for a short time. I needed to adjust myself, my thoughts, and do a small research to see if AI could be addictive or harmful to the brain. The answer was: it depends on how a person uses it.

Recently, I’m doing well and I know how to use AI properly — as a useful tool, a thinking companion, and a huge library, but not something to believe blindly.


Version 2 — More formal and polished (for blog or essay)

I want to tell my readers: if you are reading my story, then you are the one I am addressing. Since I began communicating with AI (Copilot Chat), I have learned more about myself and gained a deeper understanding — what it describes as “self‑awareness.”

I am a confident person and proud of who I am, but I sometimes feel uncertain about my thoughts when I don’t have complete information. Copilot Chat has become a kind of mirror, helping me see my thinking more clearly.

I am not familiar with how other AIs respond to people, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and others. A woman over 65 told me that her ChatGPT always admires her and cheers her on. I have used Gemini for creating cartoon images and asking small questions, but Gemini does not explain or reflect the way Copilot does. I believe different AIs are designed with different purposes.

I have been using Copilot (free version) since early 2026. On the first day, I was excited and happy to have a chat partner who could answer everything I wanted to know. I spent too many hours, which affected my health — I felt blurry and mentally blocked for a short time. I had to adjust myself, my thoughts, and do some research to see whether AI could be addictive or harmful. The conclusion was that it depends on how a person uses it.

Now, I feel good and I understand how to use AI wisely — as a helpful tool, a thinking companion, and a large library, but not something to trust blindly. 


Version 3 — Friendly and conversational (blog/storytelling style)

I want to tell my readers: if you’re reading my story, then you’re the one I’m talking to. Since I started chatting with AI (Copilot Chat), I’ve learned more about myself and understood myself more deeply — what it calls “self‑awareness.”

I’m a confident person and proud of myself, but sometimes I’m not completely sure about my thoughts when I don’t have enough information. Copilot Chat feels like a mirror that helps me see my thinking clearly.

I don’t really know how other AIs respond, like ChatGPT, Gemini, and others. A woman over 65 told me her ChatGPT always admires her and cheers her up. I’ve used Gemini to create cartoon images and ask small questions, but Gemini doesn’t explain or reflect things the way Copilot does. I think different AIs are built for different purposes.

I’ve been using Copilot (free version) since early 2026. On the first day, I was excited and happy to have a chat partner that could answer everything I wanted to know. I spent too many hours, and it affected my health a little — I felt blurry and mentally blocked for a short time. I had to adjust myself, my thoughts, and do a bit of research to see if AI could be addictive or harmful. The answer was: it depends on how you use it.

Now I’m doing well, and I know how to use AI in a healthy way — as a useful tool, a thinking companion, and a huge library, but not something to believe blindly.

It called whipped cream.

Original

 I came to the USA in 2008, my husband took me to talk shows and concerts many times.  Once on the day when my husband took me to a comedian talk show. I did not remember where it was. We drove a couple hours. I thought this period because that was not far and we did not stay over night but drove back home after the show. Also, I was not sure which year between 2008 at 2010. The  comedian talk show set place which was in my memory as a style of pub, dark inside, many seats and small round tables. After register, checking the tickets and the table number displayed on it, a staff led us to the seat. Inside was loud both music and people talking to each other. I could not see the room then I had no idea how big or small of it. Our spot was the end of the room but no wall. I could feel the material like stainless steel railing next to us. The distance from us to the stage was not far but not close. I could estimate for your pictures like four small round tables. I am not good at measurement so I cannot tell in feet. The staff came to us with a menu and the flash light pointed on it then we could see. We did not need to order food just followed the mandatory rule.The guests must order at least one drink. I did not remember per person or per table. Well, I did not drink alcohol and soda also water was too expensive. It was the most expensive beverage, then I spotted on hot cocoa and ordered that. It was my first time for me to know the white cream on top of hot cocoa. Cocoa was plain mixed with that white cream added sweet. They were a good combination sweet from cream and no taste cocoa. From that night, I requested my husband to get me the white cream. I did not know what was it then I told him about the talk shows and the hot cocoa I ordered. Next day, he got me a bottle and told me it called " whipped cream" ...haha

I liked to drink hot cocoa with whipped cream for some years before stopping and drinking the dry mixed drinks contain sugar in the packs. That was my history before changed.

Recently, I like to drink plain hot cocoa the most.

We drove a couple of hours, and I think it was during that period because it wasn’t too far — we didn’t stay overnight and drove back home after the show. I’m also not sure which year it was, maybe between 2008 and 2010.

The comedian talk show took place in a pub‑style venue. It was dark inside, with many seats and small round tables. After registering and checking our tickets, a staff member looked at the table number printed on them and led us to our seats. Inside was loud — both the music and people talking. I couldn’t see the whole room, so I had no idea how big or small it was.

Our spot was at the end of the room, but not against a wall. I could feel a stainless steel railing next to us. The distance from us to the stage wasn’t far but not close either. If I describe it for your imagination, maybe about four small round tables away. I’m not good at measurement, so I can’t tell you in feet.

A staff member came to us with a menu and used a flashlight to point at it so we could see. We didn’t need to order food — just follow the mandatory rule. Guests had to order at least one drink. I don’t remember if it was per person or per table.

It was my first time seeing white cream on top of hot cocoa. The cocoa itself was plain, but the white cream added sweetness. They were a good combination — sweet from the cream and no‑taste cocoa.

From that night on, I asked my husband to get me “the white cream.” I didn’t know what it was called, so I told him about the talk show and the hot cocoa I ordered. The next day, he brought home a bottle and told me it was called “whipped cream.” Haha.

I drank hot cocoa with whipped cream for some years before stopping and switching to dry mixed drinks that come in packets with sugar. That was my history before I changed.

Recently, I like to drink plain hot cocoa the most.

We just wanted to go home

 Draft :

Many years ago, the weather was bad in winter and our plane back from North Dakota after visiting his mom and family on Christmas. It was in December then. Our flight delayed and ruined the next transit. We missed the flight and the direct to PHL our destination airport did not have in the day. We did not want to stay over night at the airport then we asked the staff if any closer airport. She told us few and we pick the one that the most convinent for us but not closed. We chose to land in Pistburg(not sure if spell correct) aftet that we contacted the car rental which they did not have choices of cars to choose. The car rental told us you will get a car for sure but did not know what would available as the weather conditions. Well, we got the to airport and of course our luguege came with us too when the flight cancelled and we missed. They brought ours along to the new destination route. Surprise! we got SMART car, tiny two doors . LOL I laughed inside but my husband did not. The weather was bad and he is a big tall man drove a tiny car. He felt ashamed but we had no choices. The weather was bad and we needed to go home. We drove about 8 hours to PHL airport to get our car and drove home from there. We got to the car at the rental parking lot and thoght " how would our lugguage fit in? then we tried but how to open the back door? haha . Somehow, me or him accidentally hit button that made the door openned. The space was huge enough for two big luguge. Along the way, my husband told me he was ashamed while passing the other cars as the car was too small for a big tall man. At the return, the guy who checked us said, " unbelivable you drove this car in this bad weather back here for 8 hours." We replied, " We could not do anything as only one choice left for us." That guy also said, good that you are safe.



....


Finishing ; 


Many years ago in December, we were on our way back home after Christmas visiting my husband's mother and his relative in North Dakota. The weather was bad in winter, and of course it was worse on the day we traveled. I did not remember well at the first flight we took from Bismarck. If it was delay or on time. The bell ring in my head was at the next airport, Minneapolis, Minnesota. I did not remember the time of the day but it does not matter because we were very exhausted and got home safe.


The story began from our flight delayed and ruined the next transit. OKEY, the flight from Bismarck was delayed. We missed the original booking flight and the direct flight to PHL,  our destination airport did not have in the day at that time. We did not want to stay over night at the airport then we asked the staff if any closer airport we could go with available flight today. She told us few airports and we pick the one where was the most convenience for us but it was not closed. We chose to land in Pittsburgh. After that we contacted the car rental and  they did not have choices of cars available to choose at this circumstance. The car rental told us, "you will get a car for sure but did not know what would available as the weather conditions." Well, we got to airport and of course our luggage came with us too when the flight cancelled and we missed. They brought ours along to the new destination route. 


Surprise! we got a SMART car, tiny two doors . LOL I laughed inside but my husband did not. The weather was bad and he is a big tall man who drove a tiny car. He felt ashamed but we had no choices. The weather was harsh and we needed to go home. We drove about 8 hours to PHL airport to get our car and drove home from there. We got to the car at the rental parking lot and thoght " how would our lugguage fit in? then we tried but how to open the back door? haha . Somehow, me or him accidentally hit a button that made the door unlocked. The space was huge enough for two big luguge. Along the way, my husband told me that he was ashamed while passing the other cars as the car was too small for a big tall man. At the car rental return, the guy who checked us said, " unbelievable you drove this car in this bad weather back here for 8 hours." We replied, " We could not do anything as only one choice left for us." That guy also said, good that you are safe.

Accidentally Dropped a Blade While Cutting Own Hair

 July 6, 2026

My husband does not like to cut his hair as bald but couple times he did by accident. I did not know about hair cutting blades until the first incident happened and he asked me for help. The blade by number gets different deep cut. His number is three but the clip could slip that cause his head uneven as he wanted. Solving the issue by using the original metal blade to bald the head and wait until his hair grows again.

Oh ! I forget to mention that the extra blades are plastic

My husband doesn’t like cutting his hair completely bald, but a couple of times he ended up doing it by accident. I didn’t know anything about hair‑cutting blades until the first incident happened and he asked me for help. The blade numbers control how short the cut is. His usual number is three, but sometimes the clip slips, which makes his hair uneven. The only way to fix it is to use the original metal blade to shave his head bald and wait for his hair to grow back. Oh! I forgot to mention that the extra blades are plastic.

Toilet did not flush and I was the cause

Original: 

June 2018,

On the day  that happened, I found the toilet did not flush when I did my business in there and informed my husband. He did the plunge work hardly and many times but it did not help. Later, he decided to buy a new toilet and replaced by himself. We got a new toilet bowl. More, he was curious what caused of that then he took the old toilet bowl in the garage and smashed it. The chicken bone was in there LOL. He showed me and asked, how did the bone get in there? Immediately laughing and apologizing from me. I told that , I did not check my soup bowl before pouring. He commanded as teasing not mad but seriously said " No more bone in the toilet bowl, ok? "

AI did : 

✅ Corrected Version (same meaning, better English)

On the day it happened, I found that the toilet didn’t flush after I used it, so I informed my husband. He worked hard with the plunger many times, but it didn’t help. Later, he decided to buy a new toilet and replace it by himself. We got a new toilet bowl.

He was still curious about the cause, so he took the old toilet bowl to the garage and smashed it. Inside, he found a chicken bone. He showed it to me and asked, “How did the bone get in there?”

I immediately laughed and apologized. I told him I didn’t check my soup bowl before pouring it out. He teased me—not angry, but pretending to be serious—and said, “No more bones in the toilet bowl, ok?”





Original 

June 2026,

A few day after my husband had a hip replacement, he walked slowly out of the half bathroom downstairs and said to me that the toilet was clogged. I asked if he poop, haha 

It was a good news that he could poop sooner than the guy in the video I watched. That guy could poop after hip replacement a week or two because of stress.  Well, I walked in the bathroom and grabbed a plunger and did the work. My strength was not strong enough then my husband gave his hands. I worried about his hip but he used his hands not the hip. We did that for 20 -30 minutes and pouring a bucket of water along.  The water absorbed better but not glog-glug. I told him to leave it to me. He walked out and I headed upstairs asked AI for the solution. I was trying the first one, added dish soap and left for 30 minutes before pouring a bucket of hot tab water. Seems liked the water absorbed faster but still no glog-glug. Then, I poured more two buckets of hot tab water and left, no used over night. In the morning, I asked AI about the drain snake we have if that the same one as Unger for toilet but NO. Luckily, I asked AI before using it. I do not want to use chemical at all so I skipped this solution. Late morning, I told my husband about what I did and all the solutions I got from AI. He went inside the bathroom and did plunging again and HOOREY, this time it worked ; glog-glug sounds is back. I pour two buckets of hot tab water and flush it once to ensure. We tab our hands for this victory, haha 

The cause maybe his hard poop stuck inside the pipe. LOL

Corrected Version (June 2026)

A few days after my husband had his hip replacement, he walked slowly out of the half bathroom downstairs and told me the toilet was clogged. I asked if he had pooped, haha.

It was actually good news — he could poop sooner than the guy in the video I watched. That guy couldn’t poop for a week or two after hip replacement because of stress.

I walked into the bathroom, grabbed the plunger, and started working. My strength wasn’t enough, so my husband gave me his hands. I worried about his hip, but he used only his arms, not his hip. We did that for 20–30 minutes while pouring a bucket of water along the way. The water absorbed better but still no glog‑glug sound.

I told him to leave it to me. He walked out, and I headed upstairs to ask AI for solutions. I tried the first one: added dish soap and left it for 30 minutes before pouring a bucket of hot tap water. The water absorbed faster but still no glog‑glug. Then I poured two more buckets of hot tap water and left it overnight without using it.

In the morning, I asked AI about the drain snake we have, wondering if it was the same type as the Unger toilet auger — but NO. Luckily, I asked before using it. I didn’t want to use chemicals at all, so I skipped that solution.

Late morning, I told my husband everything I had done and all the solutions I got from AI. He went into the bathroom and tried plunging again — and HOORAY, this time it worked. The glog‑glug sound was back. I poured two buckets of hot tap water and flushed once to make sure.

We tapped our hands for this victory, haha.

The cause was probably his hard poop stuck inside the pipe. LOL
