No, not for what Sheldon may think!
![]() I ordered a mirror for Peaches which arrived yesterday. It has a recordable chip in it, to help teach her to talk. It has a motion sensor so when she looks in the mirror it will play whatever phrase I record. It also has a light sensor so at night it shuts off. I forgot to buy AAA batteries for the darned thing. Maybe I'll see if Walgreens is open later in the day. Happy Holidays! OB Food: breakfast was a toasted English muffin with a small fried egg and a couple of strips of bacon. Yum! -- Jill, Persia & Peaches the Nyasa lovebird |

Don't you turn the bathroom light on? I do while going to the washroom at night as I am sure most others do. |

If it is up it will be leaning against the tank. Feel there instead. If there is no seat, it may be safe to sit. Just hope the seat is dry :-). |

I don't like wandering around in the dark at all, so I have a nightlight that burns very low in the bathroom. -- Siobhan Perricone "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt, 1918 You have a choice: www.deanforamerica.com Feel free to contact me about him, he was my governor and "boss" for 10 years.

Just as I'm sure that women don't want to sit on the rim of the toilet, I'm equally sure that men don't want to pee on the seat, but you don't hear many men griping that women don't leave the seat up when they're finished. However, an equal argument would be that women should always leave the seat up. It seems to me that women can just as easily see what position the seat is in before they sit down as men can before they begin to pee. Siobhan's one of the wiser. There are no female residents in our house and the toilet seats are just as likely to be left in the up position as in the down position. As far as I'm concerned, female guests should look before they sit. Wayne |

It's not like it's a charming sight with the lid and seat up, even when it's sparkling clean. > Cyndi > (who has her toilet paper coming *over* the roll so that you can > fold the leading sheet into a pretty triangle) I'll have you know I was sipping soda when I read that and snorted when I laughed so I started to sneeze and had my sinuses drained courtesy of Diet Coke. Thank you so much. But, the picture of you doing origami in the bathroom just cracked me up. So to speak. nancy |

As far > as I'm concerned, female guests should look before they sit. > > Wayne Women need to use the toilet with the seat down 100% of the time. Men have to use the toilet with the seat down about 20% of the time. Therefore, when there are 2 people, one man, one woman, in the house, the "majority" of the uses will be seat down...therefore the "normal" position should be down. If you can put the seat up, why can't you put it back the way you found it? Also, I have NEVER, EVER understood...if they can aim and successfully make their target when it's for their pleasure...and it's a much smaller target then...why can't they manage to pee without getting any on the seat?????? How hard can it be to aim a thin stream of liquid emerging from a small diameter opening at a target about 12 inches diameter???? I just don't get it. As for the seat....the best compromise is how Cyndi does it....keep it closed until someone needs to use it, then return it the way you found it, closed. That way, EVERYONE has to make the effort. As for the lights...no, I do not turn the light on in the middle of the night. It would jar me awake, and that's undesirable. I have to get back to sleep. The light would wake me up too far and there'd be no getting back to sleep. |

She got up in the middle of the night to take a pee. Went in, sat down and leapt to her feet screaming bloody murder. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! (laughing) Her husband was on the bowl, didn't say anything just for a joke. Lucky he didn't have to wash pee off his lap. Now we're up to 2 men and 3 women who don't turn on the light in the middle of the night. nancy |

It's not necessarily a stream at the beginning and certainly not at the very end of the flow. And don't forget about the obligatory shake when he's finished. > As for the lights...no, I do not turn the light on in the middle of > the night. It would jar me awake, and that's undesirable. I have to > get back to sleep. The light would wake me up too far and there'd be > no getting back to sleep. Put a night light in the bathroom with a 4W lamp. BTW, I have trouble convincing the females in my house that the toilet *lid* should be closed after use. It keeps stuff from falling in the bowl, and it prevents the splashing dirty water that gets aerosolized when you flush from escaping and slightly contaminating every surface within about 4 or 5 feet (such as toothbrushes). The bigger issue is stuff falling in during a flush; the person who clumsily drops bottles or handtowels in the toilet refuses to reach in after them and can't seem to operate a closet auger. Best regards, Bob |

(Who's husband is a pig and leaves it up and that is why she has TWO of her own bathrooms.) |
