Life goes on...

...but the toilet paper doesn't... Okay, this post be a little TMI, but I hate when you get into that situation. Where there's no toilet paper...and you haven't discovered that until AFTER you've used the john.

ANYWAYS

just wanted to share a little experience with you. Yesterday, I used the bathroom and flushed the toilet (as any polite, well mannered person would). I came back in the bathroom an hour later or so and the toilet was clogged!!! I flushed it again - just to make sure that I had flushed the first time...and of course the water rose. The good news is it did not get outside of the toilet bowl, the bad news it stayed clogged. I plunged for 20 minutes and nothing happened.

Then this morning I googled "how to unclog your bathroom". You would be flabbergasted by the number of responses and ways that are available to the average joe. After scoping out some options, I chose a remedy based on the ease and cheap factors. The one I tried suggested squeezing a "generous" amount of dish soap (the kind for hand washing dishes) and then pouring in a bucket full of hot water from waist height into the toilet. I did this twice. And wouldn't you know it worked??? I'm just as astonished as you are.
