2. I am not at my house right now.
Edited on Fri Sep-24-10 12:15 AM by RandomThoughts
Except that home is where the heart is, and that is not being alone by false imprisonment that is unjust.

I will have the money for beer and travel that is due to me, and many good experiences, and will make my home where ever I am.


As far as toilet seats, heh, depends if you are sitting or standing.


And weather you agree with me or not, and weather you can understand or not what I am posting. You do have to say there is some thinking on mysteries in it, and maybe even thoughts on topics that clarify some things.


That is why some free will choices try and isolate. Can you explain the correlation, posts that reveal things, and wrongful imprisonment. Do you see the correlation, and what they are afraid of? People knowing what is going on, and even how they think themselves.

So by continuing or supporting isolation, you side with those that want to hide and keep things in the dark. And you show yourself as unjust.

Hence why I know I will have money for beer and travel, and many good experiences.

3. I don't understand what the BFD is about this.
It's just as hard to put the toilet seat up as it is to put it down.

Why people make a big deal if it's up or down, I have no idea.

10. Indeed. After living with many different preference, about everything
I find the best course is just put it in the position you want and go on with your life. Same with toilet paper (under or over).

6. seat down and lid down - as it should be
Why would anyone want to look into the place where they evacuate every time they go into the bathroom? That's not what I want to look at before brushing my teeth, and I sure don't want to be knocking anything off a shelf that will OF COURSE fall right in there.

16. Stuff falling in and fishing stuff out - not pretty.
Keep the freakin' seat down or you go bowl diving next time.

17. you mean the lid
The seat is what you sit on to use the toilet and doesn't do anything to keep stuff from falling in.

Toilet seats have lids for a reason. Every time you flush all manner of bacteria and possible viruses shoot up and out many feet in the air which is why you are supposed to close the lid before flushing and keep anything that you use in or around your mouth like a toothbrush or drinking cup closed up in a cabinet or otherwise not exposed to the general bathroom air.

Keeping the lid down when not in use also goes a long way in keeping the seat you put your bare ass on relatively clean between toilet cleanings. One of my old friends never put the lid down, and the toilet seat always had a sticky coating of hairspray because of her spraying her hair in the bathroom... ugh. Yeah, that's a real joy to put my bare ass on. Any time I had to use her toilet I had to paper the seat like it was a public toilet just because of that.

12. Here too
One of our cats is absolutely fascinated by toilet water. Flushed or unflushed, unfortunately (yeah, she busts in when people are doing their bidniss). x(

14. I always close the lid before flushing. I've seen a video that illustrates all of the
invisible nastiness that flies out of an un-covered flushing toilet. That's the same reason I keep my toothbrush inside the medicine cabinet.

15. Nowadays, it's always seat down since I live by myself.
When my ancient dog was still around, however, it was always seat up. She thought toilet water was the best and would bark if her personal fountain was not accessible to her. Even guests learned to raise the seat when they were through.

20. Double down!
You lift to go and you leave it down when you are done. The end.

22. We have a slow-closing seat/lid. Just takes a touch of the finger
and they both finish closing by themselves. It's a must in our house otherwise the dog and cat would be in there all the time.

It's created much noise at other houses though when we forget that not everyone has the same toilet seat/lid that we do.
