At my first house I put a sealed jar of water in the toilet basin in an effort to save money. Archimedes would’ve been proud of me, but even after doing that, the toilet still used over 2.5 gallons of water each time it flushed.

The Man of Steel delivers on many levels-here’s why (spoiler free review!)
The Man of steel is an amazing movie on many levels. Do you treat it as a reboot, comic book movie or action movie? I like going to movies, really enjoy comic themed movies, but will honestly say when they’re disappointing (hello Iron Man 2!). With all of that in mind, The Man of Steel is great any way you treat it. Continue reading The Man of Steel delivers on many levels-here’s why (spoiler free review!)
