WOOOOOOOOOHOOOO!!! IT WORKED!!!

I don't have a sink plunger...had tried the toilet plunger once before,
but couldn't get enough of a seal. But your suggestion to fill the sink
half full solved that problem. Whatever is in there didn't want to
budge, though...I wailed on it half a dozen times, no joy...filled the
sink and tried again...and all of a sudden I could hear water GUSHING
through the pipe. That sink is now draining better than it ever has!

Thank you for a GREAT suggestion! It was putting water in the sink that
made it work.

I wonder what the heck is in there...and whether it's likely to get
stuck somewhere else downstream now... Oh well...as Scarlett O'Hara
always said, I'll think about that tomorrow.

You made my day, hotrod!
