Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Dollar for dollar, the toilet has got to be the best investment going. I'll bet some of you guys have never had to buy a toilet. For less than $200, you can buy a toilet that will last several lifetimes. Sure, there is an occassional flapper leak or broken seat hinge, but all in all the toilet will last forever, with a little maintenance.
Added to the longevety of the toilet. . its service is worth its weight in gold, but do we honor the toilet for what it really is? Daily we subject the toilet to the worst of duties. Weekly (I hope) we scour it with the harshest of chemicals. For all the value that the toilet holds, we constantly abuse it with unmentionable byproducts, sometimes beating it with a plunger or drain snake.
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves for some of the things you do to your toilets without giving the toilet the respect that it earns.
Can we all agree that the toilet is more valuable than green cash money? After all, when there is no toilet around and you need to do a number two really bad, you would do anything for a toilet.
I propose that we declare a National Love Your Toilet Day. A day when we will give the toilet a break and not use it. We can adorn it with flowers and bow to it each time we have an urge to use it, but continue to hold our need for a day.
What do you stink? Should the TDR be the birth place of a new national holiday? I envision a holiday, where I can stay home from work and spend the day hugging my toilet.

Actually it is probably much higher than that considering a family of 4 lived here several years before I did, 3 of them being of the female persuasion. I would say 10 flushes/day is probably more realistic. That equates to 186,277. 5 miles on the flushometer
