Talking about water saving devices, my father-in-law had his own way of saving money when it came to toilets.<BR/><BR/>Don't read past this point if you have a queezy stomach.<BR/><BR/>He'd save the rain water in 2 litre plastic milk bottles and use this water to flush the toilet ONLY when it looked like it needed to be emptied.<BR/><BR/>Take Care,<BR/>PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12097919387041286154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518187045883429276.post-53093134315453930092009-01-20T07:22:00.000-06:002009-01-20T07:22:00.000-06:00Hello Kathy!Toilets, toasters, coffee makers, TVs,...Hello Kathy!<BR/><BR/>Toilets, toasters, coffee makers, TVs, etc. And, don't they just make these things sound so good you just can't live without them!

I feel like a fogey when I lament the way things are built "nowadays." <BR/>Toilets especially seem to go bad and boy do we know it when they do!<BR/>I try to remind myself of all the cool new stuff we have "nowadays." <BR/>Good luck.Kathy McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899118869240481737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518187045883429276.post-78731394513132158542009-01-19T15:05:00.000-06:002009-01-19T15:05:00.000-06:00So right, Muse, new isn't always better.

And tiny and frail and can't have any finger oils on them or they burn out fast (how do you put in a bulb w/o using your fingers?). So the first try, my s.o. broke off the bulb prongs in the microwave.<BR/><BR/>Try again.Conda Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972790965426924941noreply@blogger.com
