> I know *nothing* of these things (thank heavens) but my husband says he uses a toilet plunger (knowing my husband not one that has ever been in intimate contact with a toilet) with vaseline around the edge (for a tight seal?) on the bathroom sink plugs. He says it takes a couple of times, but eventually works.
Thanks for the tip. I tried plungering last night, though without the vaseline. I figured if I plungered the toilet the water might come up through the tub, so I cleverly put the tub stopper down and plungered my little heart out. All it did was splash water all over the floor. It still wouldn't flush til this AM. I figure the blockage isn't 100%, so it drains through overnight. Gonna call a roto-rooter type place this week.
