MrsGrumpy's Household Hint for the evening...
Two squirts of dish soap will unclog a clog toilet that you've been trying to fix all day.

Honest. I went through the plunging...the snaking..and THEN- I finally googled toilet clog. On this one website people were raving about using dish soap. I was at the end of my rope, so I tried it. A hell of a lot of suds later...Glurgle! Toilet Unclogged.

2. Thanks, Mrs. Grumpy!
This is a great tip!!

I'm renting and really don't want to call
the landlord for repairs if I can avoid it.

7. You're welcome...
The person who recommended it was a renter who had a crappy (no pun intended) landlord. :hi:

23. I'm good tonight. A little apprehensive.
Edited on Fri Sep-29-06 09:21 PM by Ptah
I'm taking a vacation soon, traveling by train to
a meeting with some online friends.

Looking forward to getting out of town.

I am enjoying the fall weather
98 F today, but the morning temp
will be in the low sixties.

How are you?

Edit to add the photo

15. Time to make them pay a penny per sheet..lol
Seriously, I guess I know what that can be like. My parent's have one of their toilets that has been out of commission since one of my nephews put SOMETHING in it. We even tore the thing out, but found nothing. I have a feeling it was one of my mom's cats.

6. Cool tip
Do you know how to get nail polish off my pants? Because before going out tonight, I smashed my most favorite bottle of polish on the tile (accidently) spraying said polish along the bottom of my pants. Very very sad.
