1. Perhaps what I'll do is take the toilet bowl tablets by mouth, a few hours before 'going' then I preserve the rubber and plastic in the john, and will have a "tidy bowl" too. Shouldn't harm the urinary tract either... kidding folks.

2. Yep $6.99 each for the Kohler brand yellow seals. Of course a HUGE markup on all ends - probably make for .25. And if they made silicone, they would last 15 years - and the entire chain would lose that ongoing revenue stream... planned obsolescence.

3. Yes easy fix/install - wonder how much a plumber would charge for install of 2?
