Thanks to Speedball1, my new hero! Your tip about cleaning the hole in the toilet bowl (ick)did the trick. My husband thinks I'm terrific for thinking of going online to solve the problem and for doing the dirty work. The toilet flushes with one try and I'm not worried about the time it takes to fill up because I don't have to stand there for two or three more flushes. You rock! Keep up the good work, thanks again
