Well, I got out of shampooing the carpets...

To buy gold!
Actually, a check-valve from my water tank failed... no water for at least the 3 day holiday weekend. 
I have more fargin' trouble with my water system.
and OF COURSE my kids have taken a dump in each and every bathroom already before someone tells me the water's off. No hope now of containing the smell to just one far-away john. Not a fresh smelling bathroom in the house... for the foreseeable future... won't be long before the whole damn house smells like an outhouse.
And on the third day the smell will rise from the dead...

Try some of this. One of the reviewers used it for a similar purpose.

Look at the bright side of things no need to call an exterminator to come in and fumigate the place.

Dump a bucketful of water into the toilet. Do it quickly (don't splash yourself) and the toilet will flush.

ETA: Once the pot fills up, then you can go in the tank.

Do you have that old crappy galvanized pipe or something? Why not rip the shit out and put in copper, PEX or even PVC.
My wife and I lived in an apartment that had old galvanized plumbing and you just never knew what a shower would be like. One day, it would be OK. One day, the pressure would drop to a trickle. One day, you might get scalded. One day, you might get frozen to the point of blue balls.

Traditionally, cold water *cures* blue balls, it doesn't cause them.

By the age of the house... (technically it's sort of like a manufactured home) I would think it should have PVC pipes, but I wouldn't know unless I got under the house and got into some stuff (it's mostly covered with insulation). I'm not sure if it would make any difference - but I've never noticed any rusty colored water from the hot water. So I'm thinking that has something to do with the water heater.
Then again.... In a closet that is opposite of where my shower is - there is place where the wall had been cut into and covered over with some boards/panels screwed back on. I could get into that to see if the pipes are metal (galvanized) or PVC. 
But seriously. That would be too big of a project to undertake in such a place as this. Eventually I'll have to move out or build a new place if/when I can buy some land. Maybe.

Ah, the old upper decker. Hilarious to some, disgusting to others.
Be careful with that one

[Re: 
So, I fill up these bins, then pour 'em in. Fill them up again, wait for the rinse cycle to begin and repeat. Takes some waiting time off... Building up a reservoir of water that can be put into the washer pretty quick. 
It might not be a good idea... I'll have to google it.
