Every once in a while the toilett will act up and I would fix it but
today I have a problem that's not so easily cured: I hear the water
running but there's no water in the tank and so of course, the toit
won't flush. Does anyone know where the water is going to and, or, how
to fix this problem?

Unless it's running all over your floor it's going down through flapper
valve, which probably needs replacement. Possibly fill valve mechanism
as well. Fluidmaster $9.95 approx. Turn off water first!

Oh, joy... I don't mind doing electrical work but I can't stand
plumbing chores, Lol. But do you know of a way to flush the john
before I can get a new flapper?

Slowly dump a 5 gal pail of water into the bowl

Yep, this works. Did it with gray water during the drought a couple of
years ago.
