  6. Mary Ann---Here's a start for a toilet with running water. Going one step past "jiggling the handle" take the top of the tank off, and check the flapper (flat piece of rubber over the hole) and the ball arm float. If the flapper is loose, it might be worn away and the seal is no longer tight. If the float is not working, sometimes all you need to do is to bend the arm down a little. If you're feeling confident, you can buy the same set up and replace it yourself. If not, see if there are other jobs for your plumber to do before you call, so you're not hit with the labor charge for one simple fix.
