\you need to get your self A new wax-ring and 1 set of toilet bolts because most likely you will start having problems with it not flushing paper will hang on pen that is most often stuck in the toilet trap pens don't bend so they don't go through.Toilet will most likely need to be pulled turned up side down and maybe shaken so the pen can find its way back out you will need the material I recommended you buy for reinstalling your toilet

It might not be dye sometimes an abundance of a vitamin supplement can cause it. (prenatal, or muscle builders) I was taking supplement's one had 100% daily dosage and the 2500% the first turn it blue the second purple it may be your body's way of getting rid of what you don't need. it can also make your urine smell fishy. I replaced the first one nothing I tried worked ( alcohol, bleach, goof off) the first was padded plastic the second a painted wooden one. My kids call it smurf butt.
Flushed a pen down the toilet?!?
It is entirely possible that the pen flushed through, and is now on a great adventure in the sewer system. There is, however, a possibility that the pen got jammed and waste will get caught on it and cause your system to back up at some stage. The best thing to do when you accidentally flush something you should not, is to flush the toilet several times in a row in the hope of driving the item through your pipes and out into the main sewer line. I have heard this suggestion RE the accidental flushing of a face cloth, so it should work with a pen. If you do not get a back up after one week, you should be OK. If you do get a back up, then you will probably have to call in a plumber to send a camera down there and root out whatever is stuck. This can cost you a few hundred dollars.
Can ball point pens be flushed?
I would suspect the pen probably has blocked waste from being able to flush properly causing your backup. You'll probably have to take the toilet off it's mount and get to it from the underside of the toilet. In order to do this, turn off the water supply. Emply the take by scooping out the water with a cup. To empty the bowl, use a wet/dry vac in the wet mode. It works awesome. Remove the two mounting nuts, (they're under those caps near the floor) Lift the toilet straight up. There is a wax ring under there that seals the toilet to the flange. Scrape away all the old wax, on the floor flange and the toilet itself. Look in the hole on the bottom of the toilet. You'll probably see your pen there. It might be a few inches up. When you get the pen out, you can replace the toilet. If you know the size of the flange, buy a new wax ring that size. They're typically 3 or 4 inches. Put the new wax ring on the flange, and then lower the toilet straight down over the two bolts. Sit on the toilet and make sure it sits back on the floor (at this point your squishing the wax ring, try not to slide side to side too much for danger of ruining the wax.) Replace the two nuts, just be careful not to overtighten. You can break the porcelain, and then it's time for a new toilet. Good Luck

This is a suggestion based on my experience with really awful dreams. I’m 68 and suffered paralytic night terrors as a child, and later many nightmarish dreams as an adult.I have decided that bad dreams are my brain’s way of waking me up enough so that I realize I need to use the bathroom. My poor body is aching for relief, and communicates with my brain to send out an S.O.S.Works for me! I get up and relieve myself, have a laugh or sometimes a stern talking to with my brain & body for unnecessarily freaking me out, challenging “them” to come up with a kinder way to get their message across.I’ve shared this solution with my brother and a few friends, and while they all laugh at first, the ones who’ve tried it out are now believers.Sometimes, solutions are simpler than we believe. If I even made you smile a bit, that’s a good thing. Yelling at your mean old brain or less-elastic bladder is not a good idea. Best to stay on their good side:)
Multiple reasons. Most common reason is that they are constantly thinking or worried or in a deep self talk that they simply don't even notice the second phase of using a bathroom i.e Flushing. People who tend to forget flushing are also seen to develop a habbit of leaving things uncleaned. If a person is focusing on two things at a time, he/she is tend to skip any one task meanwhile. Most of the time it's flushing…because people get the free and lone time to think in washroom, as there is bo one to disturb. :)
A lot of people have provided a view why Indian style, or the squatting style toilet is good compared to the Western one for a normal healthy person. Personally, I would prefer Indian style toilet in a few circumstances, such as while travelling and having to relieve myself in a public toilet, while helping my child with her business, when I have flatulence.But, in certain other circumstances, a Western toilet is a blessing. Such as when I'm sick or when I had recently delivered a baby. For those people who have joint and bone related problems, such as arthritis. For those who have met with an accident.In general, at home, the water jet attached on the western style toilet is also a blessing. It helps with the process when I turn it on as soon as I sit on it. It also allows a lot of cleaning without using hands (I have the habit of washing with my hands and then washing my hands with soap afterwards, the way most Indians do). Water jet cannot be attached in the Indian style commode. I had once tried using a short garden hose for this purpose. Though it worked well at home, this would not be practical when away from home.So, it depends on the situation and would come down to personal preference, and need.
How can I get an ink pen off of a leather chair?
There is a product called Guardsman Ink Remover Stick, it is designed for use on finished leather or vinyl. According to Good Housekeeping Magazine they tested it on swatches scribbled with ballpoint pen and felt-tip-marker, they were impressed. They said that it erased many splotches and significantly lightened others. It worked best on fresh stains that they tackled right away.
Can you pour motor oil down the toilet?
NO!!!!!!! NONONONONO!!!!!! the toilet goes into the ocean, if you could then all those stupid factories wouldn't pay millions to properly dispose of their toxic oils and chemicals and would just dump it into the ocean killing our fishes and destroying our water supply. you have to take it to any, i mean ANY garage and I nearly guarentee you they will take your oil for you. They have tanks in the back and every week or two someone in a huge truck sucks it out of the tank and takes it to a place where they either properly dispose of it by making it safe and then doing so or they refine it into either cheap engine oil or other oils. Because used engine oil is only bad mainly because of the carbon it picked up from your engine and the molecular breakdown from the heat and at their factories they have machines to filter out all that carbon and the broken down molecules, and they also add addictives to help the oil out. Thats why some people pay so much for their oil.
