I don't like to let water run. If I see or hear a dripping sink, I'll go out of my way to turn it off. I use a quick splash of water on my toothbrush in the morning and turn off the water between rinsing. I don't think it's so terrible to be conscientious about water; here, it takes very little effort to make sure the handles are in the off position.
There are three places causing me great leak distress right now. One is the basement bathroom in the library at Northeastern University, where the second sink from the door is always running. Two is the BSC ladies shower, second stall from the sink area. I don't think there is any real problem with either, just that the knobs get slightly tighter as they are twisted off and people get laaaaazy.
Three is the faucet in our bathroom, which has been dripping for the last few months. I found some faucet fix-it tutorials and might attempt the repairs myself, however dangerous I might be. The pictures make it look simple. Ha.

We haven't gotten around to posting about Egypt yet, I know, I know. We have over 500 pictures and tons of stories. There is still sorting to be done, but I've posted snapshots on Facebook of our first touring day for those that haven't found them yet:

Thanks to everyone for their comments on my previous post. I didn't get a chance to respond to everyone, I was just overwhelmed. I always appreciate the support, criticism, words of wisdom, words of ignorance :-), and I'm glad to see the subject spark such interest.
