Toilet Seat Positions

[Lily Sawyer]

Point taken. We men have our quirks too. I just don't know what they are.
We could add that, statistically speaking, cleaning personel rate the cleaning of women's public restrooms as at least twice the work overall. Like your attitude though...

I'm not denying women can be pigs. I've been horrified more at female friends' bathrooms than most men's I've seen, but the toilet lid debate is trumped by the down position if you're concerned at all about hygiene.

Just my opinion. It's one in a sea of thousands.

See now this doesn't bother me. I use my toothbrush to get under the edge of the toilet rim when the toilet duck fails me..........

Of course you do.

Of course you do.

You're welcome for the house cleaning tip. Anything else I might help you with today?

I keep my tooth brush in a separate area...Far, Far away from toilet, my friend once told me the toilet flush can project a long way.

Oh, gosh, now we're really wandering into TMI land.

Generally after using a urinal, I usually just rinse and dry because I'm getting rid of the aerosolized urine. Urine itself is pretty sterile, so I'm not concerned about pathogens finding microfissures on my hands and digging in to await a convenient vector.

But for bowel evacuation and handling stuff (like toilet seats) that will have fecal particles, I use soap and water, because then I do have a motivation then to kill as many pathogens as possible.

Since we're in bathroom habit mode, I brush my teeth in hot water because 1) hot water cleans better and 2) heat facilities chemical reactions, like the fluoride in the toothpaste binding to the enamel. Cold water tastes and feels better, but hot water does a better job.

If I applied this level of analysis to something practical, like what I do with my money, I could probably retire by now.

I really enjoy your scientific mind, Grandpa. Sincerely. I'm gonna start brushing with hot water, dammit! But forget hand washing. As a nurse I have to do that all day long.

yes, they say your toothbrush can be loaded with germy crap from toilets! ick!

...then we should all just urinate on our toothbrushes and get it over with, because regular urine is sterile...

Definitely time for a new toilet.

My urine is hi-test, though.

...and when you're my height, it's pretty convenient to just throw up the sash and whiz right out the window...

...then you're injectors will fire cleanly!...

Thank you.

Groan... "facilitates," not "facilities," in my post.

The other reason for hot water: Since most people keep their toothbrushes in the bathroom, and yes, it will pick up particles from excretions, rinsing off with hot water before you brush will do a better job of getting that, uh, stuff off the brush.

I brush my teeth while in the shower. Keep toothbrush/paste in there.
Don't feel clean getting out without doing it.

Viagra!!!

Anybody could claim. What do you plan when it goes inferior?

What do you against the crap on the doorway leftover from the unwashed hands of the last guy??? Remember, Grandma is paying attention...

If she says Frog, do you jump?

If I am in the mood and, yes, that is often her call...

The flush alone from a toilet is enough argument to put the lid down.
Germs everywhere, including over to that toothbrush you casually leave out in a cup on the back of the sink when you're through brushing your teeth..
So.....consider the situation calmly and in full, dude.

I hAVe and, open window or other ventilation is my soution answer. Containing it for a later explosion on others is not my solution answer.
