there's nothing worse than having to spend money on something that has to be done, but you can't see...like a new roof or a prefunctory car repair. when i spend money i want to see it in action...like an utterly comfortable yet attractive new piece of furniture..or a geeky/sexy vintage looking motorbike (yes, i'm still on that kick).
so when the toilet in our powder room started acting up 6 months ago..the first plan of action was to tinker with it.shaking and adjusting all the things i could think of . sadly, that didn't work.
next came phase two: ignore it and hope that it would stop on it's own. that didn't work either.
it was becoming a real nuisance . something had to be done.
i went to the last card in my hand: threatening it with a visit from the plumber.
last night at dinner my son told me that the toilet fixed itself! and today it's STILL fixed.
just call me the toilet whisperer.
next issue: what to buy with the money i saved on that call to the plumber?
better yet, maybe i can make a business out of talking to people's appliances and undercutting the cost of having a professional do the job.
think i might have to move to california to start up that biz.
