That when my husband said, "Oh, I fixed the toilet"

he meant: I replaced the cracked white vinyl seat with a pretty new mauve vinyl seat.

He did not mean:

You know that thing that results in the toilet overflowing like Old Faithful on Steroids if you insist on abnormal behavior like flushing? I took care of that.

FOR GUESS WHAT?

I've got an admittedly very pretty toilet which just flooded most of downstairs. The mess has been dealt with. I'm just waiting for the steam to stop shooting out of my ears.

Maybe it's just that your toilet and my washing machine are related?

Bless you for cleaning up the mess with no resulting bloodshed!

Apparently he's from a very large family: many women I know are married to his brothers! *grin*

Devil's in the details

I hate, hate, HATE it when the toilet overflows. Hate. It. Make me crazy. I wish I had a drain in the floor of each bathroom just for that reason. Hey, a drain in the kitchen floor would be handy too, just hose the place down periodically...

This is another one of those "Assume Nothing" things, huh?

So sorry!

drains in floors

Submitted by Kerri on Tue, 04/17/2007 - 2:34pm.

we had those in Singapore Anhata, and they were definitely very useful, especially given the way my various in-laws mop floors. If there'd been no drains in the bathrooms and kitchen floors we'd've needed life vests! Eye-wink

my DH may be from a mutated branch of the family, but I smell the same DNA in there somewhere CB! Laughing out loud
