to my great dismay, the handle that flushes my toilet completely fell off the other day. it made me wonder how long those things last, and in turn, how old that thing must have been. is it older than i am?? it was plastic, but it had worn totally through and just slid right off into the tank. it has gone to handle heaven, never to flush again.
anyhow, after a couple of days of flushing via reaching into the tank and pulling up the chain manually, i got a chance to buy a new handle. i took out all the remnants of the old one and installed the new one, all by myself! i felt like i could fix anything in that moment of success. like i should be wearing overalls, standing tall with my thumbs hooked proudly on my bib.
