Do u flush all the time?

[easyrider]

I guess that makes my family "water wasters" as we flush and wash our hands.

 

[Rose Pink]

I'm glad our Golden doesn't drink out of the toilet bowel.

That you know of.

 

[Elan]

Cats know better...they climb up and can't figure how to drink without falling in. So they climb down and jump in your face instead. Where have those paws been?

Our old cat (rest her soul), used to get into the toilet and spread-eagle herself across the bowl to get a drink. Incredibly funny to walk in on. Didn't matter that she had fresh water in her water bowl. She was a cat -- no rationalizing her actions......

Yellow mellows here too, except when we are expecting or have company.

I've been learning from my dog. We go out in the yard. The neighbors look at me weird, but I figure, "Hey, they can go in their own yard!"

I always wondered if those folks who don't flush in a public restroom flush at home. Seems not I guess.

I remember the old poem for overhead tank toilets:

Roses are red, violets are blue, pull the chain, when you're through.

I have been thinking about this lately too. No idea why. I am of the lot that says not to flush after #1. Though how many times would you have to do a #1 before you would consider flushing?

My DH agrees with you. He doesn't flush over night. He also can't seem to figure out how to put the toilet seat back down if he gets up in the night. We use different bathrooms now. I sure don't want to walk in and see it.

Also, our dogs tend to drink from the toilets if the lid is up so I may be a bit sensitive about it.

Really, shouldn't women put the seat back up for us men? I think what really should happen is that both the seat goes down AND the lid. Just keep it closed after every use.

This prevents pets from drinking from it too. We keep our bathroom doors closed at all times also.

I don't flush at public restrooms, at least not urinals. Think of what people touched just before they touched that flush valve.

Closed toilet lid when you leave the bathroom at my house.

Public restrooms - I always assumed that an unflushed toilet = problem with that toilet so would choose another stall.

I often use my foot to flush but if there is TP to spare, I use that.

If you are into Feng Shui, the rules say to put the lid down. Otherwise you are loosing all your wealth down the drain. And let's hope the toilet isn't located in the "money corner" or you are really in trouble.

Big drama for us. But DH rarely cleans the toilet and he just doesn't care--it just doesn't bother him. I don't get it. So, we've gradually rationed off 2 bathrooms for him and 2 for me. And if company is expected, he is handed the appropriate cleaning tools. (This way, we also don't deal with the lid up or down issue, normally.)

Our dog somehow prefers the toilet bowl for her water supply. We always have fresh water next to her dog food dish, but that doesn't matter. Thank goodness she prefers one of 'my' toilets for her drinks.

Why am I living with two stubborn creatures? I'm not stubborn at all.

I sincerely hope you realize I was joking. This entire thread is kind of gross.

Reality

We may be sans water by the end of today thanks to a frozen intake valve in Lake Erie that is preventing water from flowing to our service provider. We've been advised to limit our water consumption and that means the mellow yellow rule.

We don't realize how precious water is until we don't have it...

 

[artringwald]

If it's the middle of the night, and it's the upstairs bathroom, I let the yellow mellow. Unless I ate asparagus for dinner.

I flush every time, i don't know if it's just my toilet, but if i even wait an hour after going to flush i will have a ridiculous stain that will cost more in cleaning products then it would have in water to have just flushed in the first place.

As for the toilet lids & seats, they belong up! Be proud of your thrown! Do you put covers over your sinks too when you aren't using them? Why would you put a cover over your toilet if not your sink?

You may want to google what happens to everything after you flush.

On same page

That was the saying in the 1970's when we had a drought in California.

We flush every time (except when someone is in the shower). Dual flush, low flow toilet and one of those slow motion falling toilet seats so it doesn't go THUMP everytime I'm required to put the seat down.

I can't say I understand why she can't just look before sitting, but I've been trained and it's one less subject to get beat up on in our home. <g>

Maybe Calif. is only one state.

Nice thing about living in condo, you do not see water bill.

Same experience as poster #28. Save the pets.

Carta, are you happy you started this thread?

Doesn't the same thing happen to those things that go down your sink?
