p.s. mine is in a case inside the cabinet. hahaha |
No idea how people like you can muster the will to go outside at all... you must obviously never think about what sort of matter you're inhaling in a city street, or within a mile of any farm, or what exactly you're drinking when you buy a cup of coffee... |
I really never do think about that stuff, I grew up on a farm in North Georgia. We had...at one time...60 head of cattle, couple of pigs, 2 chicken houses and a hen house. To be honest I have my toothbrush in the cabinet b/c I'm in a tiny apt. off Peachtree Street in Downtown Atlanta and I dont have much room on my counter for much. :)
p.s. The germ theory is just that....a theory. If noone agrees think about it few hours and then get back with me.

hate to break it to you, but my husband did the same study in micro lab, and ever a toothbrush straight out of the package that had never been in the bathrrom had trace amounts of fecal matter.
and who cares? It is these trace amounts of bacteria that ensure we have an immune system. |
I did the same experiment also. Fecal coliforms, in all their glory, are everywhere. Think about the soda cans we open yada yada yada. When I did my experiemnt we had to make our own M-FC medium b/c we were so ghetto, but it made me learn alot. Hell, I've made so much of that crap I still have the numbers memorized....
biosate 10g
polypeptone 5g
NaCl 5 or 10g
lactose 14g
bile salts no.3 1.5g
aniline blue 0.2g (i think)
sorry hun, you didnt break anything new to me. ive been published 5 times, with one article pending, in national and international peer-reviewed journals and one paper was in the Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials and the other in the Journal of Microbiological Methods. So, as my grandfather says..."He's well read". well, off to bed i go....too long of a day for me.
p.s. its not really the bacteria that insures we have an immune system, it is our nervous system that allows our immune system to respond to the presence of these little critters.
edit: sorry, we need spell check on this thing;)

Bugs me sometimes that women never put the toilet seat back up, what happens if we wake up in the middle of the night and go pee, and it splashes off the seat and goes all over the floor. We can slip and break our necks! You are putting us in danger. |
It doesn't matter if the seat is up or not..you all piss all over the place anyway. LOL |
I had to pee so badly once during a track meet that I actually was wondering if I would be able to pull this off (probably not all too seriously, though).. LOL.. of course, I didn't.
..Hey, give me a break - I was in 5th grade at the time!
Of course I would do it now.. jk :P

[quote=GoldBerry] I've had this quirky sense for a while now that whether or not a man puts the seat down says a lot about his character..am yet to be wrong.
Naaaa, it's not about his character....A) He's tired from all the yapping. So he makes sure it's down before leaving. B) He's afraid that he won't get laid....so, he's being a good boy so he can get rewarded....man you women have power over a silly toilet seat issue....:)

| My feeling on the matter is simply that everything should be down - nothing to do with who has to touch it, who does or doesn't have to look before sitting or using it. It has to do with the fact that my toothbrush fell in it once... Household peeves and pet hates - forums, information and images |

If you don't put everything down before you flush, it doesn't matter if your toothbrush falls in or not -- "aerosolized pathogens" is the operative phrase here. |

Hey, I thought everyone in your house put the seat down. How did the guys fall in? Was it you who left the seat up just to see what would happen???
Great to see we are all so phocused on fotography here, 8 pages on dunnies and still going strong ! |

A little recreational argumentation is good for the creative spirit.
That said, what a curious thread to revive....
