ERROR and my toothbrush !
Saturday night....
My toilet decided to f**k up on me and started coughing up unmentionables ! I was a happy girl needing the washroom and when I was done.. I flushed, like any other normal person will do.. i proceeded to wash my hands ( ahem.. like everyone else ) and was about to leave the toilet when I noticed that the water level did not increase then decreased Instead, the water level continue to rise and overflowed...( bring along with it, unmentionables .. ) URGHS, YUCKS, BIGGER URGHS and YUCKS !
What did I do ?
I ran back to my room, googled " repair a toilet" read a whole bunch of information, did not find what I need, clicked on askjeeves.com and found the soultion, ran back to the washroom, fixed the problem ! ( how useful is the internet ? )
HA HA HA ( of course, I didnt do that ! )
Thank goodness for brains....I cannot imagine what will happen if I did.
I switched off the water supply and fixed the problem and cleaned up the bathroom with tonnes with bleach, detergent and everything else I can find.
Since I am on the topic of washroom..
Well, some scientist types did a study and found that when a toilet is flushed little drops of water shot out of the toilet. Here are some little blurbs I found on the Internet:
Apparently, every time you flush, aerosolized particles from the toilet float as far as 6 feet away. So flush with the toilet lid down - and get a new toothbrush.
The water in a typical toilet is a real nice place for bacteria propagation. In other words, every toilet has the potential to change from a Fecal Fountain into a Fecal Volcano. So, if you have a sink with a toothbrush holder above it right next to your toilet, it is very likely, if you keep your toilet lid UP when you flush, that you are spraying a fine mist of bacteria all over your implements for oral hygiene. Needless to say, you could reduce aforementioned spray considerably by closing the lid prior to the flush
There is a positive spin-off effect from following this advice. It may actually put an end to the put the seat down controversy that rages in many households.
I DO know from readings that there are more bacteria on your mouse / doorknob than on a toilet seat.
I keep my toothbrush away from the toilet seat not because the whole bacteria issue. I keep it away because I don't want anyone to knock it over accidently into the bowl and not tell me about it ! Ha Ha Ha Ha
