Make sure it's not water leaking from the tank. A couple of years ago I had everything prepared to change my wax seal, but luckily discovered a rubber washer/gasket was rotted on the inside of the tank so one trip to HD and maybe 2.00 later it was fixed. It's really difficult to see clear water running down the back of the toilet.



This was the problem, well the gasket/rubber stopper was fine, I just needed to tighten the nut to the bottom of the tank.
Appreciate all the replies. After further investigation it seems like one of the nuts in the bottom back of the tank that holds the tank to the toilet was loose and dripping a bit. I tightened it and doesn’t seem to be accumulated water on the floor. I’ll see tomorrow morning if it remains dry. Glad it was mentioned to check that first. Thanks.
Good point, I'll investigate further when I get home, just to make sure there's nothing else leaking that I can just tighten up and would be an easier fix.

I have to wonder why that seal is leaking though, because I don’t think water generally stays on it. Has water been backing up anywhere else in your house?


Not that I have noticed, I have toddler boys 3 and 4 who are potty trained but the aim isn't always the best so I was behind and around base of toilet cleaning, then after wiping up what I thought was pee, I noticed more clear water around the base of the toilet and tile floor, it's barely noticeable unless I wipe it with a paper towel and the towel is damp. So I googled potential problems and it said the wax ring was most common problem. I'm assuming the only way to tell if this is the issue is to take the whole toilet off, the house was built in 2012 so the toilet is about 14 years old if that makes a difference.

I'm assuming this is the wax seal, should I try to change it out myself or call a plumber. I watched a few youtube videos and it doesn't seem that difficult but don't want to get in over my head.

I'll be honest, I had never heard of Talisheek, Louisiana until listening to this podcast. It's a good listen for sure.

3. Funniest excuse that is not tripped and fell


Back when I worked in the ER, middle aged guy came in with rectal pain. Turns out he had a shampoo bottle lodged in his rectum, said he slipped in the shower and somehow it got up there. But for the most part its just large dildos in middle aged men. Pulled a tampon out of a lady's vagina that had been there for months, it was not a pleasant smell.

Glad somebody finally mentioned TRU. I always feel like somebody's watching me.

Wife got this and it was the favorite at the table. This was the summer menu so I'm not sure when they will change.

We actually went to Nobie's for dinner on the Saturday night and liked the food there better than Bludorn.

Bludorn is great. We've eaten there almost every time we have visited Houston and haven't had a bad meal.

I had no idea the public could play at Fennwood, I've lived in Zachary for the past 5 years. Hope I have a chance to check it out at some point.
