My son is living in my mothers house, but most of the utility bills come to who else, dear ol' Dad. Actually, most of the bills are pretty cheap. I called him the other day and asked him, "are you having any problems with water over there...?" He said, "no not really." I said, "are you sure, you can't think of anything at all, drippy faucet or anything..?" He responds, "Well, you know how you flush the toilet, it doesn't swirl any more." Mmmm, no swirl...? Ya mean, the water doesn't spin around...? Noooo, it's really funny, there's hardly any water going around at all. Mmmmmm, did you think to take the top off of the toilet and look inside to see what the problem is... Him, "I'll do it right now...!" Hey, "that thing in the bottom is broke..!" Ya mean the rubber flapper...? Yeal...! When did you notice it...? Oh, just recently.... Well, ya know how you use the min. of 1000 gals of water a month..? Yeal..! Well, this month your presently up to 49,000 gals of water. Buy a $3.00 rubber flapper and fix it....!!!! But I don't know how...? Geeez...!
