You Can Replace That Leaky Toilet Yourself
Carolyn Tann-Starr is a real estate agent in Flushing, New York who, along with her husband, is raising two little hellions. One of the biggest problems in her daily life is the fact her kids routinely throw objects into the toilet bowl -- cellphones, cameras, toys, you name it, into the water it goes. At least at this point, the kids aren't flushing the toilet, which is a positive thing. Because to retrieve an object that is blocking the toilet or causing it to overflow typically means removing the toilet.

My Google Alerts went off yesterday and I must say it was a great honor to discover that my little minions actually managed to start their skid mark in NY and end it in CA. How cool is that? Very! (BTW, Who’d-of-thunk-it? - LOL)
Thank you for not only being very informative, but for also making our day fill with laughter (because deep in our hearts we know it is only a matter of time before the 2.7 year old decides to flush instead of float our cell phones. He already tried to toast them but it was unplugged. The assumption is the lever pushing will migrate to the bathroom handle. Oh my word - my poor calculators!)
Enjoy your Thanksgiving.
With warmest regards,
Carolyn Tann-Starr, Realtor, Flushing NY
