<<Besides, her toilets probably get more use than yours do, what with kids and all. >>

Well now probably. The original family in this place had 3 teenage daughters using the same one.

I'll give you a plumbing tip. If your toilet keeps running jiggle the handle, the flapper might not be down. If the flapper doesn't seal you can get a kit for $5. If it's running and the tank is full check the bulb. Bulb's ok then one screw and some bending of the rod's in order. And the pin to the valve that lets the water in or shuts it off - a squirt of WD 40 or a little powdered graphite will keep it from sticking (rare thing).

Also some shops will let you buy the parts saving you getting billed for them going to the store.
