I received an email this afternoon from Mom. She's having difficulties finding something that she needs to finish the remodeling of her master bath. I am posting this for her, because she wishes she had a blog to put it on (she should get one, I know).
Side note: If you have ever special ordered anything from Home Depot, you will definitely feel her pain. If any of you read my blog about my new countertops, then you know my take on them. *wink*
Mom's Email:
Being jealous of those in the family who have dual-flush, energy-saving toilets, I’ve been looking around Amarillo for one. Alas, there is one on display in Home Depot, but none to be had without special ordering (and as Melissa can testify, Home Depot’s special ordering is very hard on your nerves). I resorted to calling local wholesale and retail plumbing suppliers. No one had any or any idea who had any. One older lady who answered the phone at Morrison Plumbing Supply was particularly baffled. When I repeated I was looking for a dual-flush toilet, she yelled, “YOU MEAN IT AUTOMATICALLY FLUSHES TWICE IN A ROW???!!!” I pondered how to describe its functions to her. Then I said, “No, it has a light flush and a heavier flush.” After a second, she said, “Oh, I get ya. Nope. Never heard of ‘em.” I thanked her politely and hung up, resigned to using 3.5 gallons every flush, and 7.0 gallons when we have to flush twice in a row. If I had a blog, I’d put this on it. But I don’t.
There ya go Mommy Dearest...you have officially been "blogged!" :)

oh now that's funny! I hope your mom is able to find her special potty. :) I've never heard of a dual-flush toilet till now. Guess it's true that you learn something new every day. :)
He! He! He! I have FOUR! I had never heard of them until I got this house though... My knowledge began in May.
Hey...Randy sells those!!! I can probably get your Mom a good deal on one!! Seriously!!
