Uh Oh

There is one thing you should know about me. I HATE to clean.  So when I find a product that promises to make cleaning go a bit faster or maybe  even eliminate a step or two then I’m all for trying it.

Which brings me to this……………

Lysol No Mess Automatic Toilet Bowl cleaner. Now according to the directions I place the clip over the rim of the toilet where there is the most water flow. It was a package of two for under $3 bucks. I’m thinking what a deal…I get two of these, never have to clean the inside of the bowl again…Remember I like it when a product can reduce a step…..So I bought it…….

I came home, and was in a lot of pain so I took a pain pill. Waited for it to kick in. Once it kicked in I very carefully opened the package and pulled out one of the cleaner things. I go to the bathroom, lift up the lid and the seat looked all around the inside of the bowl, now where is the most water going to come out at. So I flushed the toilet……Ahhhhh…found it!!! So while the toilet is flushing I attempt to clip the thing over the rim of the toilet in the perfect spot.

That’s when it happened…it all went down the shitter…pardon the pun. I dropped it into the toilet while it was still flushing. I sit and stare at it for a second while I was thinking what in the heck just happened here. Shit I have to put my hand in there, do I want to put my hand there. Damn it I’ve gotta put my hand in there. Now, that thought process was actually pretty quick. Just as I went to put my bare *shivers* hand into the icy cold depths of the nasty toilet water it got sucked in.  Not my hand, but the cleaner, plastic clip and all.  Down it went. Dang it!!!!! So I put on a couple of rubber gloves and stuck my hand down that little hole as far as I could and didn’t find it. I knew it would clog up the toilet because of that plastic thing. It was just a matter of when. I needed to come up with a game plan.

So in my infinite wisdom I flushed the toilet again, and again, and again.  Ok, well it appeared to be flushing ok, but what is all that stuff coming into the water? It was lime build up, the cleaning stuff was working!!! Ok, so that’s good maybe the water will dissolve it quickly and it will go where ever  it is that those things go.

I left the bathroom bitched about it on facebook, promptly forgot about it and went to bed.  I wake up with Moooooooooooooooooom…………the toilet isn’t flushing right.  I get up and my dear, sweet, loving, daughter had taken her morning constitution and it wasn’t going down.  So now I have to dig again and with crap first thing in the morning. Someone get me a barf bag please!

I get a wire hanger and have my 13yr old untwist it for me, what I didn’t want to break a nail. Give me a break I’m not a plumber here.
So, I take this hanger and stick it over half way in and down that hole. I guess I must of pushed the plastic clip down because I never retrieved it. So it’s been a week now and the toilet is flushing fine but I don’t know for how long………

Word to the wise…don’t clean while on medication.
