Conserving Water

If anyone is unhappy with their current water bill I have a solution for you. Get you youngest mobile child to climb up the toilet and attempt to use the flushing handle as a foot hold. Depending on their weight it might take a few attempts to accomplish the desired feat- a broken handle. Once this feat happens- esp. if it happens on a Friday afternoon right before a long (3 day weekend). When the only option is reaching into the tank to flush, you'll agree with "yellow mellow, brown down" water conservation. You will have to tell you older children over and over that yes, you know the toilet is broken, but otherwise it's a mostly painless method.

Sorry about your toilet! My son is crazy too!
Also, we went to Jerusalem together and are having a JC reunion. I have found your blog but have no way of contacting you otherwise. The reunion is on April 3, 2009 at the Hinckley Alumni Center. I'm going to try to figure out how to email on this thing!
