question: should i go to the hardware store and get one of those auger things and a new thing for the ball i broke off and try to do it myself

OR

wait until the morning?

2/8/2010 6:59:31 PM

is the arm broken off in the tank? is that what you're referring to?

2/8/2010 7:00:40 PM

don't you rent an apartment? call after-hours maintenance.

2/8/2010 7:01:15 PM

^^ yes the arm that holds the big black ball

cause i was trying to hold it up too vigorously and bend down and turn the knob to stop the water at the same time and it just snapped off.

but all i need is a new arm

and obviously the closet auger things

no i own a condo

I don't follow tdub personal lives quite like I used to...but don't you have a boyfriend...the implication being, that his balls have in fact dropped and he should be able to handle this?

2/8/2010 7:03:12 PM

i don't know what you mean by "auger things", but the arm is a simple fix.

you just need to make sure you know what kind of tank/toilet you have so you can get the right arm at lowes or something. they are cheap too iirc.

2/8/2010 7:04:05 PM

^^ haha he's in raleigh

i mean like one of these things to get out the clog:



how does one find out what kind of tank they have? or could i just bring the old one with me or is that like super gross? i mean at this point i don't think i have any sense of dignity left so it doesn't really matter.

ahhh, i call those a snake.

you can just look at it, it should have a name on it. if there's not one on the tank, check the toilet.

^ nah, no need to remove the tank if the arm is all that's broken.

also, have you tried a plunger to unclog?

[Edited on February 8, 2010 at 7:09 PM. Reason : K]

2/8/2010 7:07:43 PM

thanks!! yea i figure a $30 snake and a whatever cheapo new arm that i can screw on myself IF it works will be saving me a ton of money

it would be $285 JUST to unclog it tonight which i'm NOT doing. PLUS a new arm. and about 1/2 that tomorrow. which is still money i'd rather not spend

i'm just holding my breath waiting for my downstairs neighbor to come up and be like "ummm my kitchen is flooded" or something

2/8/2010 7:09:15 PM

you can probably do it yourself. and if you have another bathroom, turn off the water to the clogged toilet and use the other one until you can try and unclog it yourself. plumbers charge waaaaaaaaaaay too much.

2/8/2010 7:10:56 PM

didnt read the thread but I'm assuming you clogged the toilet with a massive shit

I'm not even willing to argue it actually

2/8/2010 7:11:59 PM

i don't think iiiii clogged it with a massive shit

all i did was pee

HOWEVER my boyfriend WAS here this weekend (yesterday) and is notorious for clogging toilets and using a shitload of toilet paper

also i live in a really old place with really old plumbing and i may or may not have put tampons down it in the past

WHOOPS

2/8/2010 7:12:59 PM

o.lawd.

2/8/2010 7:35:04 PM

after chatting with my dad i'm just letting the plumber come

my dad said i might have already made it worse

but i'm going to be really mad if all he does is use a snake and fix the arm

SIGH

but he told me to just watch the plumber this time and if it is something easy then i will know for next time

HOWEVER he isn't the one paying the plumber haha. ughhhh

and i'm seriously terrified my downstair neighbor is going to knock on my door at any second and say that their bedroom/kitchen/whatever is flooded

but there wasn't a lot of water and i cleaned it up like SUPER fast.

2/8/2010 7:42:20 PM

Could be jerk socks

does your boyfriend flush his jerk socks?

2/8/2010 7:53:47 PM

yea - its probably the jerk socks

but yayyy the plumber is here!

2/9/2010 8:29:31 AM

yayyy it was only kinda my fault!

my cats like to put qtips in the toilet and then play in the water and that is what clogged it

whew.

now i can peeeeee

2/9/2010 8:52:18 AM

so your cat flushed itself down the toilet? what in the world are you doing to the poor cat

2/9/2010 8:59:13 AM

no my cat didn't flush it

she plays IN the toilet and when a qtip floated down through the hole i didn't go fishing after it

but anyway she would totally flush if she could. she plays with the handle all the time. i've fished like a trillion hair ties out of the bottom of the toilet.

2/9/2010 3:08:03 PM

so how much $$ are you losing for "peeing"?

2/9/2010 4:14:34 PM

have you considered closing the lid?

i mean my cat would play in the toilet water with her toys all day if i let her, but unless your cat has super strength or something then i doubt she/he can lift the lid.

2/9/2010 4:23:17 PM

well i used to leave it open incase they were thirsty

but yes

now it will remain closed

2/9/2010 6:26:56 PM

put them in the shut the lid

they love that

Ummm, wtf?

2/9/2010 6:30:03 PM

what?! is that so weird. i mean they have a water dish but what if it runs out

i don't know

2/9/2010 6:30:56 PM

yeah...i dunno about that. the only time i ever left it open was when i was gonna be gone for 2-3 days in case they tipped over the normal water. otherwise i figure i can be responsible enough to check the water once a day if i want to be a pet owner. i mean, she's like my baby, my child. i would only want her drinkin out of the toilet in an emergency situation.

2/9/2010 11:08:24 PM

i used to leave mine open in case the water bowl ran out. *shrug*

2/9/2010 11:09:28 PM

yeah i mean i am cool with emergency use...

but these little guys can't be trusted to gauge an emergency v. playtime and i do worry about possible health issues.

2/9/2010 11:15:56 PM

ffr, a pipe snake is about $13

2/9/2010 11:17:35 PM

My cat has some class and knows not to play in the toilet.

2/9/2010 11:21:47 PM

Yeah....my baby has three legs and came out of a dumpster. She is def damaged in the head, but I don't keep her for the brains. I keep her for the lovvvvvvvvvvve

2/9/2010 11:34:40 PM

Man, I had crazy good advice to give in a sassy know-it-all way for both these situations.

But she resolved the problems already!

I need to pay more attention to this shit. I'm missing golden sass-ops.

besides the broken fridge, broken computer, $$$ for the bar exam, dog swallowing tylenol etc

after doing some research i'm 95% sure my dog had a seizure last night. well, a partial seizure. and i cannot afford to take that bia back to the vet right now. so i guess i'm just going to wait and see if it happens again?

3/9/2010 10:13:16 PM
