Do you all want to know how my morning started? Yes, I knew you would say that, so before I can tell you about this morning I have to rewind to yesterday evening.
My grand Children and I closed up the shop and went home about 6:00pm and as usual the first thing I have to do when I walk through the door is start preparing our dinner as by that time of the evening the kids are famished. My Grandson who turns 2 the 28th of this month has a fascination for playing in the toilets. Last night I was in such a hurry to get supper done that I forgot to go and close all of the doors. Now mind you I am usually so careful that I even have those childproof door knobs things on my doors. I heard some splashing about in the bathroom off the laundry room and hollered for Ash to come in by Nana. We ate and I sent Emily, Ash's sister into the bathroom to get cleaned up, and use the bathroom. She comes out and stood there looking at me strangely, so I asked her whats wrong? She said "Nana, I don't think I should have flushed the toilet". Okay I asked her "why not?" She said "I think Ashton put something in there", I asked her well "Emily what was it" "I don't know Nana maybe nothing"
At that point I am thinking to myself and making mental notes to leave POPS a note to check it out. Well you probably have guessed already I forgot to do just that. The bathroom itself had been used several more times during the course of the night without incidence.
This morning the alarm goes off and I make my way to the coffee pot, take my cup to my desk and off to the bathroom I go. I flush, OH yes my friends the toilet now looks like old faithful, water covering everything including a $150.00 bathroom rug.
Now POPS must be woke up and greeted for his day and the chore that awaits him. I gathered a bunch of towels and threw them in on the mess so that we could at least have coffee together. After pulling the seat and tank off the wax ring, (that was in need of replacing soon anyway) we found one of Emily's brats dolls pulled back up from the pipes with the snake and hook.
What kind of Toilet woes do you encounter?

Okay. angel. I have a question for you before i tell you about my bathroom tails. . . WHY would you have a bathmat worth 150$ ??? I could think of other things i'd rather spend 150.00 on, and Why was it such an expensive mat, what's so big about it? was it silk ? lol.
Okay, so now for my story. It's not quite as exciting as yours, but its a toilet story non the less.
We live in the basement apartment of a house with three other apartments in it. All three apartment had women living in it at the time. We were all flushing our feminine heigyne products down the toilet.. and apparently in older houses, the pipes are not large enough to accomidate that type of.. thing when you flush them! well we were all unaware of that and we did it for about a year. UNTILL one day, i heard a gurgling coming from the bathroom, and then the kitchen, and then the furnace room, There was RAW SEWAGE coming out of EVERY drain in the our apartment everytime someone flushed, showered, did their dishes, Used water of any kind, it all came back up into my shower and the floor drain in the furnace room. It was the nastiest thing i have ever had to deal with in my life. The township came and unclogged it and let us all know no more flushing of feminine products was allowed. heh he also took the liberty of showing me the garbage bag filled with tampons that he had dug out of the pipe.. It was not pretty.. There was a lot of them..

heh, when my son was 2 or 3 he liked playing with the tv remote, I kept my bathroom door shut. One day he was at grandma & grandpas and no on could find the remote....then the lil guy pointed, smiled and took gramps to the bathroom and pointed at the toilet, gramps didnt know why he did that until.....the toilet got flushed and it overflowed!
Bar soap flushes pretty good, and gets stuck, needs snaked out, too!!
