Holly has been doing a lot of thinking. Holly has been doing extensive investigating. Holly finds that the best solution to her problem may be installing one of these:
Holly has decided that a porta-potty, johnnie-on-the-spot, porta-john may be her only option. She has decided that this is the location for her new purchase:
Why would Holly who lives in a lovely suburban neighborhood in a house that could (but doesn’t) have a white picket fence with complete indoor plumbing choose to install a porta-potty, johnnie-on-the-spot, porta-john?
It might have something to do with the plunger that is permanently attached to Holly’s left arm. Holly’s left arm is tired of plunging. Holly has noticed that she is starting to choose outfits in the morning based on whether they match the plunger attached permanently to her left arm.
Holly is wearing green hoping that her green-wearing karma will overcome her low-flow toilet hating soul. Holly’s low-flow toilet hating soul is dark, very dark. Holly’s low-flow toilet hating soul is deep, very deep. Holly’s low-flow toilet hating soul is attached to a body sporting a plunger as a permanent fixture.
Holly’s low-flow toilets seem to have something against the act of flushing.
Hey low-flow toilets…why are you so anti-flush?
Holly also wonders what is the point of low-flow toilets if she has to attempt flushing them three kazillion times with intermittent plunging. Ironically Coincidentally, that is the exact same decibel (three kazillion) Holly’s voice hits when she hears, “Mommy! The toilet isn’t working!”
So, until Al Gore dedicates his life to plunging Holly’s low-flow toilets or suitable alternatives in the United States of Low-Flow Toilets (US of LF T) are legal. Holly is planning this drastic action.
Holly will no longer allow people to use the INDOOR toilets. Holly will lead them to the OUTDOOR toilet which never needs plunging despite the level of crap.
Holly can only hope that the proximity to the patio of the new porta-potty, johnny-on-the-spot, porta-john could encourage its use by a certain Holly’s dog…
Sorry about your toilet issues. We have the opposite problem around here. A certain 4-year-old doesn’t care much for flusing. AT. ALL. If you get my drift (what the heck does that mean anyway?).
I’m lovin’ your stick ladies skinny jeans.
What a great solution!!!! We’ve got major toilet issues too … ugh.
Do they make designer plungers yet?
So if you’re flushing that often to get the crap down, it really negates the whole point of the low flush toilet, right?
Oh dear.. Toilet problems are a real pain in the bum…
Poor bitter plunging Holly,
I’d move the Porta-potty to the BACK of the property. I guess we could always go back to chamber pots…
You know, environmentalism is good, except when a “law” is passed, then it ends up on proving the Law of Unintended Consequences.
Having to flush 3-4 times truely defeats the purpose. UGH.

I love your drawings!! And, thanks for the tip! Now I can finally get into my skinny jeans…even if it’s only on paper.
So you are now Bitter Plunging Holly… soon to be be Bitter out House Holly.
I love my water saving faucets, but the low flow toilets are a pita.
This just don’t tell you this stuff in What to Expect When You’re Ignorant.
Okay I DO NOT plunge…period. It’s usually my daughter’s bathroom and it can wait til my hubby gets home, we have three other bathrooms we can use…EEEEEEEEEEEw I hate plunging…yuk, yuk, yuk! Give me blood and guts I can handle most anything BUT NOT stopped up toilets!
Thanks for the reminder of the great banana pudding by the way! Are you familiar with Abilene?
