I was sitting at work having lunch today and my friend ask me...if i close the toilet lid before i flush.I have heard that you should close the lid before flushing specialy if you just did #2 but i didn't think i wanted to talk about it so i told her "of course".All thought i don't always think about it,apparently germ and bacteria fly in the air and go everywhere(tooth brush,bar of soap,counter top..ect)That's just so gross!So i will make a BIG effort to remember.Do you always think about it?

Probably germs fly everywhere. But I will not let my life dedicated to get away from germs. To begin with, I would have to flee from my hometown. I live in a city (MY city, where I was born) that has several millions of inhabitants. Needless to say, the air we breath is quite polluted. But it´s part of me. Everytime I come home by air from a vacayion, I see the brown sky that means we are approchin Santiago (home to me) and my heart skips a beat. If we ate exactly what we should (no more junk food, no more icecream, no more cookies, no more mayo, no more...), we would be very healthy. Apparently. I would be soul sick, my inmune sysyem would fail, I would die of not living. We have always lived with germs and as a species we have done more than well as the earth is over populated. I won´t close the toilet lid. I hate it when someone leaves it closed, I run quickly after waiting too much because I´m engrossed at the computer and find that I have to do yet another job before peeing. Happy posting!

LOL marguicha I have to agree with you there it is annoying to me sometimes when I have to literally run to the potty, and find the lid closed. I'm already running for pete's sake finding the lid closed just makes it that much harder to wait . Just as bad as when the boys leave the darn seat up

You know awhile back I watched a show on the discovery channel called Myth Busters and they did an experiment to see how far the germs go from flushing the toilet. Needless to say it was very gross to find out the truth and we now keep our tooth brushes up inside our medicine cabinet. We haven't been putting the lid down though I think I'm going to start doing that. There are so many germs in the world that it would do us no good to become germaphobes but we can make ourselves aware and try to minimize the effects as much as possible.
