If there's one device in the house that you want to work the first time, every time, with no hiccups, what would it be? Really... stop to think about it for a minute. Ok, that's long enough. For me, yesterday, I realized it's the toilet. I can function for several days without anything else working, but that, that's a necessity in the truest sense of the word. So, yesterday I wake up, and like most days the first thing on the agenda is a trip to the bathroom. For those unsure, yes, I am human, and yes, I do use the bathroom. So I'm done, and close the lid (who really wants to watch anymore... and I've heard stories of "spray", so I push the handle to flush. The handles moves down with much less force than normally required. Nothing happens. It also doesn't have the same force pulling it back when I let go. I giggle it, because, that's just what you do when things don't work. After a giggle or two, it's obvious that something is broken. I pull the lid off, and there it is. The metal bar piece that connects the handle to the chain has broken. So I pull the chain up myself, to get things going, and proceed to look at this broken piece of metal. How the heck? It hardly looks broken, so I investigate to see if perhaps the two pieces of metal were attached together some other way, but this is clearly not the case. Oh, and they're covered in mineral build-up, so I have to scrape some of that looking for a hole where a small bolt may have been. Nope. None of that. So, I guess I'm left to reattaching it with my macgyver skillz, or buying a new handle dumaflachi.
