Okay, something on my toilet...I don't know what its called but its in that tank thing, is dripping in to a container I've laid out to catch the water. Last night, it took 8 hours for the container to fill. I dumped it out this morning, and three hours later, it's full. The drip has definitely gotten bigger. I'm pissed off!!!

Call a plumber?

it's your ball cock I think, that's busted! call a plumber. Or, use a coat hanger. When you pull the arm up inside the system, does the dripping stop? if so, get a wire coat hanger and bend it round so that it keeps the ball cock arm straight, then it should flush properly. Call a plumber as well though. Please note, any advice given is without warrantee of any kind, and any action taken as a result of the advice is at your own risk!

a ball cock is the proper name for the thing inside your system!

Okay. I've noticed recently this strange thing with the toilet right outside my bedroom. Maybe I'm hearing things, but I swear whenever I use the toilet now I hear water running continuously. It seems to happen before I flush the commode. It's weird! BTW, for great toilet humor read David Sideris's book "Naked." My mother has a tape that was sent by her brother, which has David Sideris reading some excerpts from the book and it's hilarious!
