about peacebee
I am but a drop in the ocean of life...but one drop, along with the billions of other drops, together are a great and mighty force.
Do your best.
Make a positive contribution to our world.
Don't be a bully.
Help someone today.
Smile at someone today.
Be thankful for God's blessings.
Learn from your mistakes.
Let go of bitterness and anger. Life is too short - don't allow hatred and ignorance to take up space in it.
Democracy is not about beating someone over the head with your beliefs, it's about being free to share.
Look in the mirror and tell yourself..."You are beautiful and God loves you" every day.
Find something fulfilling to live around, rather than dimming your light with regrets, grudges, predjudice and hatred.
OH...and be nice! So what if everyone else isn't. If you start, someone else might too.
Even though spreading Hope, Love, and Joy is a bit like trying to affect a tornado by blowing on it, keep trying. The power of Love is stronger than the fury of any storm. It may get tossed about, but it will leave a trail; though at first barely perceptable, might eventually touch just one person.
You will always speak the language of people that you love.
IF I delete your comments in my profile, it is NOT because I don't like ya...I just like keeping the comments area more private!

The siphon action in a toilet depends on a pressure differential of only a few inches of a water column. Disturb the air pressure on the top of the bowl water and you’ll disturb the flush action. Increased air pressure (over a couple of inches of water) on the bowl water will cause the water that enters the bowl to be blown out after the first full flush.
Let’s look at the pressure issue first.
The first questions: What kind of air conditioning system do you have in this area of the house? Is there an attic exhaust fan? Does the toilet double flush with the bathroom window open, the bathroom exhaust fan off and any A/C or roof exhaust fans off?
If the answers to these questions do not suggest a solution, I have others ....

The only thing that makes the toilet flush is the level of the water in the bowl.
Try this: Take a large trash can - 5 gallon or so - fill it up with water and dump it QUICKLY into the toilet bowl. The toilet will flush several times before all the water is gone.
You're trying to limit the amount of water reaching the bowl. The bricks (or whatever) will take up water space and reduce the total amount of water.
BTW, this is a good thing. You may be able to save a fair amount of water this way ....

Once the water level in the bowl goes below the weir level the siphon action stops and the bowl refils.
The only thing that will restart it is the water level gets high in the bowl again. BUT, if the rate at which the water enters the bowl is so fast that it breaks the siphon before the bowl is sufficiently emptly, then the cycle can repeat.
