We have very vivid memories from that period. The strongest ones are from the

times when he stuffed towels or entire rolls of lavatory paper into the toilet

before flushing and flushing. We got quite expert at drying out the basement.

One good tip to all of you who have this problem: Far better than locking the

lavatory door, is to turn the water supply to the toilet nearly off. If the

toilet takes 3 minutes to fill after flushing, that's no big problem for normal

users, but it's a great help for breaking this kind of habit. Our family's

water bill went down by 35% after we started the diet.....
