Clogging toilets - Aaahhhhggg!!!

[Gregory C. Scheer, Jr.]

In other parts of the world they have this hose thingy--water, with precise aim goes further than a roll of TP. They make a heated water version of it as well and mounts like a toilet seat. Just tap the water fom the toilet supply line.

Having a stopped up toilets really stinks. What a crappy way to ruin a day. hehe

Gerber makes a tiolet called the POWERFLUSH. I do not know how much they cost, and they are REALLY noisy, espicially during a middle of the night session, but they flush like this.

Mark, good info.

This is good stuff... !! I don't quite know what to say, though it is hard to see the computer screen through the tear in my eye...

Mark, been there too! Hard to flush during a 9 incher... (delicate I know), and plunging or cutting up made her vomit, complicating the original problem! Still, Father of the Year should still go your way.

Doug - they just sneak food, or swipe the dog's...

Great plan Gerr!! I don't do alcohol, so I am not sure what Grolsch is, but assume my daughter could not buy it on her own...

Marcel - TP isn't the problem and we use Costco TP, not Charmin. What I really need are some good old black market Canadian toilets!

Thanks, boys!

Greg - I have lived in other parts of the world and they basically have a hole in the floor... pretty messy with all the associated that your mind just imagined. Guaranteed no clog - that is, if you can get close enough to the hole to actually use it - you know, splatter? And be sure not to slip on the, um, well, ice!

Michael - that is a good video. It is what the Toto's do. I will look into the Gerbers. Thanks!

Jay,
This is a funny subject, but on a serious note. If your daughter is experiencing an issue with clogging the toilet (an it's not because she's using to much TP), then you might want to ask your pediatrician about that. She may be suffering from IBS, or some other easily remedied issue that a simple change in diet, or some minor meds can assist with.

Jay,
No problem, if they steal the dog's food they can go in the yard with the dog, then you just turn the hose on them.

[Jay Markanich]

Mark - that was very nice of you to say and to think of her. We have had her to the doctor, more than once, and even had a lower tract GI to see if there was a problem. His solution was Benefiber every morning and more water. We feed her lots of fiber too, but that just creates bulk, and excites the body into moving the stuff out. Some days it is horrendous, others not. But no IBS or that sort of thing. Having lived in South America (still with the associated problems) I thought the same thing regarding IBS. She is healthy otherwise - karate (red belt), basketball, soccer - you know, kid stuff.

I wasn't intending this as a "funny" subject - it is really aggravating. The suggestions have been great too. Thanks for your concern...!

Doug - when she and the dog play in the yard I DO squirt them with the hose!

You are a good daddy.
