How to unclog a toilet without a plunger. |

Years ago, my father in law taught me one of the most useful tips I had never heard of.

He showed me how to unclog a toilet without using a plunger.

Though I am not quite as bad as Mr. Monk from the series Monk, I can’t stand plungers. Disgusting.

I was happy when my father in law showed me a better way to unclog a toilet.

It’s quite simple really.

As you know, when your toilet is clogged, you are in a mess. Plunging all afternoon can leave you pooped. What a way to waste an afternoon. Okay. I’ll stop.

Here is what to do.

Step one… pour a bit of dishwashing liquid into the dirty bowl.

Number two (I am sorry. Couldn’t resist.). Empty a bucket of water into the bowl. Be careful not to pour too much. You do not want the toilet to overflow. Wait for the water level to go down. You may have to wait a while, but eventually, it should go down. Just keep repeating this process until you get a “flush”.

During this process, DO NOT pull the lever.

As a teacher, my family and I spend a long time in apartments. The plumbing was not always the greatest. This trick saved a call to the plumber so many times.

If you would like to see a demonstration, I have included a video at the bottom of this email.

Some of you asked how you could subscribe to my blog. Still working on that….

Meanwhile, if you would like to visit my blog, for now, you will just have to visit my home page and scroll down a bit. Here it is https://www.dwanethomas.com/.

And, now… a shameless reminder.

Often subscribers use my weekly emails as reminders to unsubscribe from my site. That’s cool. I get it. I should unsubscribe from quite a few websites myself.

But, keep in mind… I offer something no one else in academia (as far as I know) offers. Stick with me for 3 uninterrupted years and you will have a lifetime subscription. Probably a pretty dumb business decision on my part, but I have heard from many of you that it is a huge help, so, for now, the offer stands.

And… for the fourth year in a row, I am NOT raising the subscription rate on my site. (Imitate that, Disney!)

Of course, if you are just starting out in Latin, you may be happier with Visual Latin. Visual Latin is a full-blown Latin course. It is rigorous, just not as rigorous as the classes on my site. The classes on my site are more “next level” classes, really.

If you are a subscriber, here is the list of classes I am currently teaching. You are welcome to join any of them or all of them.

Caesar’s Gallic Wars
Cicero’s First Oration against Catiline
Italian Grammar (I am still learning Italian, but you are welcome to join me).
New Testament Greek
English Vocabulary (Word Up: Live!)
The History of Rome in Latin (Roma Aeterna by Hans Ørberg). This is some brutal, tough Latin.
Lingua Latina: Familia Romana (Lingua Latina 1 and 2)
First Year Latin by Robert Henle
Second Year Latin by Robert Henle
Third Year Latin by Robert Henle
And, too many previous classes to mention.
