Need advice on two fronts

Take the top off, and try to get a good look at what's goin' on there. That's the key. Eventually, you should plug the hole.


No idea on the toilet, though.



(I'm sorry, I was physically unable to restrain myself from that.)

 

End. Of. Thread.

;D ;D

 

I'm married, so I got no idea about the girl part of this. All I can tell you is you never know until you ask.

As for the toilet, it sounds as if you need to replace the greatest named device in all of hardware -- the ballcock. (Hey, come to think of it, maybe this somehow will relate to the girl question)

For whatever reason, this little part, after a while, stops moving up and down like it should. That causes the water to not automatically shut off when the top part refills with water. Anyway, for like $15 and 30 minutes of rather simple labor, you can solve the whole thing.

I can assure you that the answer to No. 2 will be much more complex than $15 and 30 minutes, although ballcock might fit in there somewhere.

 

Asking is so uncouth.

You are a charming bastard, Jay. She's either interested or a figment of your imagination.

 

Fixed.

 

She's what we used to call a "muffin."

Electronics companies hire them (or the agencies that work for them) by the dozen. Back in the days when electronics magazines ran actual reviews (not the marketing driven spin messages now found since about 2002) they exsisted as a sort of hormonal damage control system for the manufacturers.

Young flirty, semi-hot to silly hot chicks who pitch you story ideas and tell you how wonderful you/your publication is — or "work" with you on your product review. A few do cross the line boink the writers, but its mostly "flirt for hire."

Sorry, man. But it sounds like the toliet thing is on the way to mending.

 

By the way she sounds, I think it might just be $10, 15 minutes and a dark alley.

 

tell her you can't do the story. ask her on a date. if she says yes and it's a real date - she doesn't use it as a pitch session - then you've got yourself a honey. then do the story if you want.
