Potty Mouth

So today, while trying to find a new toilet to replace that completely lovely pink one, I found out that Santa Clara County offers a $125 rebate for those who upgrade to a high efficiency toilet.

Thank You Santa Clara County!

I had pretty much decided on getting a new toilet, but I sure as heck am now when I can get almost the entire amount back in the end.

The only stipulation is that your old toilet has to be at least a 3.5 gallons per flush (gpf) toilet. Mine is probably much more than that. Everytime I flush it...and I really try not to even use the thing...I just watch all that water swirling away into the ground...completely wasted.

Don't believe me?


It takes almost a full 30 SECONDS for the entire flushing process to happen. You've got to be kidding me!?!

Now, don't you think for a second that I don't clean my toilet. Those stains on the underside of the seat have probably been there for decades and will just not come off no matter how hard I scrub.

Is it any wonder that I avoid this toilet and am hoping for a new one?

PS And don't even judge me for wasting water
so that I could post a video! ;)

Ha, Ha, "get almost the entire amount back in the end." Oh, wait, you didn't intend that pun, did you? I've been around Uncle Jim too long!

I like the toilet. It looks like it actually flushes everything down. Why don't you just get a new seat????? That is a heck of alot cheaper than a new toilet and plus you run the risk if the seal is not right it leaking. Then you have a bigger mess!!!

Yes, Adele, you have been around Uncle Buck too long!!!
