Spin Re-Cycle: water problems


I'm re-cycling a post from last year when I was first starting my blog. I thought it was funny enough to share again.

I got this email from a friend and it was too funny not to share! There is a video link after the story! Enjoy!

Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a doubt that the bills weren't representative of their actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued. Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems: the water meter, outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc., all to no avail. One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water running downstairs. He finally got out of his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of the bills.






Apparently this was happening all day long when they were not at home. Knowing that few would believe him, he recorded a video of the 'problem' for posterity:

Because I'm weird like that, I counted 10 flushes in that 2:47 time frame! The comments by the videographer are funny too! Mystery solved!
** Is the video visible to everyone? I think the Captain said it was gone. I can see it just fine. I'm wondering if anyone else can't see it.

The video is gone, but that cat was probably just trying to figure out how many flushes it would take to get rid of it's dismembered owner.

Our water bill has been surprisingly high lately too. We don't have cats so I wonder if it's my husband flushing all day long when he's supposed to be working...

the question is, did he use the toilet first...maybe just rying to be considerate and get rid of his own floater?????

I've seen this! It's too funny and I think it ended up on AFV! Love it, and I do know someone whose cat likes to turn on the faucet and bat at the water. He only found out when the cat accidentally stepped on the stopped and flooded his bathroom! You're linked!

"OMG He is faster at flushing than I am!!" Hysterical!

thanks for recycling that's a good clip.

Too bad the cat doesn't know about recycling and saving water. Maybe he looking for fish?

I put a list of my favorite older posts on my blog, but I'm not sure if readers look over at the side items.

For the carb cravings, make sure you eat protein for every meal, and snacks. And then add a lot more whole grains to your diet-- steel cut oats are fantastic. Jump by my blog and look for my recipe I posted earlier this month.company logo design
