Evan,

I'll have to try this, I can't see spending money for a new toilet and I know they don't recommend bricks because pieces can get caught in the flapper.  In my previous home, I had 1.8 L, they almost never worked for solid waste.

Now why does your centering work? whenever I center with HTML it doesn't take. Was this in Word first?

Hi Gary, thanks for the comment.  I never noticed how difficult it was to center media on active rain until posting the other blog about dishwashers.  Too get your media centered, use a site like http://www.imageshack.us to upload your image, use the code marked, "Hotlink for Websites".  It's the third from the bottom.  This is the code that you will enter into activerain on the HTML tab.  I think you may have to do all of your editing here.  Type this directly in front of the code <center>.  You'll also need to use this <br> in order to break up your paragraphs and whatnot.  Hope that made sense.

We used a large stone before we got a newer toilet - they don't move at all -

Evan, in the 70's during the energy crisis we put a brick in our toilets.  It displaces more water than a filled water bottle.

Thanks for the tip.  I wonder if there is a good site for comparing the various "low flow" toilets.  Some have told me that with some models you end up flushing 2-3 times -- so it may not be saving any water.  Do you know a good source for this type of information.

How funny! We also used a stone - but that got caught in there somewhere also! Thanks for the impetus to try it again!

Denser materials tend to work better because they don't tend to change postions as much.  Great advice.  A useable energy saver.
