Tell Me You Didn't Just Do That
Those were the words out of my mouth when The Boyfriend Who Shall Remain Nameless walked into my bathroom the other night, blew his nose, dropped the tissue into the toilet and...wait for it... FLUSHED IT!
"Are you out of your mind?" I asked with just a touch of incredulity.
"What?" he said, wide-eyed.
"You didn't jut flush that tissue. I know you didn't just bypass the trash can next to the toilet, purposely fling the tissue into the toilet and flush the effing toilet. I know you wouldn't do that, because it uses as much a FOUR GALLONS of water with each flush. Wasted water. Water I pay for. Water that is in tight supply here in Southern California," I said, now sounding a little crazy.
"I didn't know," he said, looking at me like my head might spin counter-clockwise.
"Well, now you do. Go sit in the corner and think about what you've done." I said, crying for the future.

About this blog
Roxanne Kotzman is a Daily News Photo Department veteran of nine years. When she and longtime friend Stacy Long
discovered their love all of all things environmentally responsible, they launched Happy Monkey Planet and jumped head-first into the vibrant eco-community.
Wow, so much to learn! But initially the idea is a pretty simple one: Let's change the world through information, education and action.
Rox & Stacy are a lot like you: ecologically minded but sometimes just plain overwhelmed when charged with the task of making a far-reaching difference in the environment. They have jobs, families, homes, lives and pets.
But what if doing better was a simple as a light-bulb change, a reusable canvas grocery bag, recycling that soda can or a cold-water wash?
These eco-chicks just hope to have a little fun, learn a little more, share a lot of information and maybe make the planet a happier, greener, cleaner place.
My husband kind of did the same thing. Well maybe not exactly the same but he flushed the toilet that just had ...ahem...#1 in it before he was about to use it. I asked him what he thinks he's doing. I told him that he could have flushed the toilet after he went...ahem #2 (yeah too much information). He used the excuse that he didn't want to totally clog up the toilet. I reamed into him about it so much that he will never do that again. LOL!!! There was a REASON why I did not flush. I just read you're quote in another post that fits perfectly: "If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down."
