al hanisim v'al haniflaot ! aka - a real hannukah miracle!!

a real hannukah miracle happened to me today. i had situation in my apartment that needed attending to and by the miracle of hannukah it was able to be fixed by the super today. laugh if you must, but this truly was a hannukah gift. within the first few days that i had moved into my apartment i had true tsuris. i flushed the toilet that fateful evening and the toilet flushed for eight hours straight. it was loud , it splashed and the super was nowhere to be found. it took weeks to get the super to install a new flushometer. this is why today my friends i consider it a hannukah miracle that my apartment ailment was so promptly attended to . not only has it been fixed , but i wont be spending my free moments leaving messages for the super or calling 311. i bh will be able to enjoy the rest of the holiday in my repaired abode.
happy hannukah!!

Hint: if you don't need to flush and it's flushing itself, turn off the water valve until you need it again.

i'd rather have a toilet that doesn't stop flushing than a toilet that won't flush (been there)

lion of zion-
hmmm...ive had both. a toilet that doesnt stop flushing gets kind of messy too even if the water splashing is clean! with a toilet that doesnt flush , unless clogged, one can put buckets of water down the toilet to make it "flush" . the thing is, this is what i did when my toilet flushed excessively because i couldnt stand hearing it flushing excessively.

in any event a toilet that doesnt flush , a clogged toilet and a toilet that excessively flushes are all bad!
