The Running Toilet

I'm pretty sure no one has ever described me as particularly handy, especially when it comes to housework, fixing stuff or putting something together. I once decided to make speaker stands that ended up looking more like the leaning tower of Pisa.

But this one I should be able to fix. It's the dam toilet and it's been running since I moved into this apartment (August). Every once in a while, if i wiggle the handle just right it will stop....for a while but then it starts back up. It's a good thing I don't pay for water.

I understand the concept, the plunger need to sit flush so the water doesn't leak into the bowl. I think it's starting to drive me insane.

P.S. whoever the Anonymous person is who commented on my use of "I/i" thanks. Now I'm self conscious about it and it too is driving me nuts.
