I took a shit yesterday. Usually my shits are so big and solid, almost as bricks, they block the toilet and I need several large buckets of water to flush them down - normal flushing doesn't even make a dent. But yesterday I decided to use a bucket from the beginning instead of normally flushing it first, which is usually how I do it. So as I emptied the bucket, the water started filling up, but suddenly, the water was vacuumed out and it dragged the shit out into the hole with it. Imaging a large brick of shit as large as your forearm laying over the water in the toilet and then suddenly being forced into the hole - almost majestic. From now on I have decided that I will use the bucket from the start. Maybe I will do both at the same time, because when I was in Crete I had similar problems, but one time no amount of buckets would do the job. I use bleach, vinegar, soda, soap, I even boiled pots of water and threw the boiling water down the toilet - nothing. The shit was too resistant; no matter how long it sat in the aciding-basic boiling bath, it would not budge. I even considered just straight up mashing it at some point, that's how bad it got. I mean, I had the shit there laying in the toilet for over a day. Thankfully I came across a forum post on the internet as I was researching my problem. Here's what worked: as you throw the large bucket of water down into the toilet, flush! Seems kind of simplistic, after all I had done, but it actually worked! You can imagine how satisfying it was to watch the turd flush down after a whole day of trying. But that doesn't work as well where I am now; there, I had that kind of flush mechanism where you pulled on that chain that hangs from the ceiling, don't know if you've ever seen that before. Anyway, the water comes down with great force, suprisingly being able to flush down quite a respectable number of my organic millstones. But here the flush is truly puny - it maybe can handle not more than 1% of my turds. So as I told you I will consider the new method I have just described (flushing with bucket first). I think the reason it might work better - which is the reason I thought to try it in the first place - is that by flushing normally first, some of the shit washes down the drain and helps to clog it. That way, when I pour the water with the bucket, it just kinda stacks on top. You know, there isn't enough flow down the pipe, like a clogged sink. So the only way to overcome this is to hope as the heavy load of water very slowly will chip away to make a larger hole, and in the end unclog it, bringing the actual shit down with it. A pain in the ass to do, I assure you. However with the bucket there will be less opportunity for the shit to clog the toilet, as the water is flushed with much greater speed; well, that's the theory anyway.
I also ate a great square meal this noon. Pork and chicken as well as some potatoes in the oven, with a lettuce salad and some local red wine. Quite nice.
