When I used to have to bring my daughter to use public restrooms when she was small I used to hold her above them :) She's a bit too heavy for this now!<br /><br />Your Listerine idea is a good one. I never thought of dipping my brush in some before brushing. I have read about "toilet spray" and it grosses me out. I wipe down my bathroom in between heavy duty cleanings with Lysol wipes that are supposed to kill 99.8 percent of germs but I don't do this to the floor so it's probably germ ridden and disgusting. Closing the lid before flushing is a good idea! <br /><br />To be honest, I don't like to use co-ed bathrooms either. When I use a women's bathroom I see all woman wash their hands after but my husband says that not all men wash theirs. <br /><br />Ha! Ha! getting a Royal Flush is very difficult indeed!<br /><br />The check is in the mail, Keystone ;)Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-33297309390863356082011-07-01T18:35:20.317-04:002011-07-01T18:35:20.317-04:00Aren't kids great?Aren't kids great?RAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102249990885174107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-8241726626934432202011-07-01T16:10:59.318-04:002011-07-01T16:10:59.318-04:00This is a well written piece of humor, and I admir...This is a well written piece of humor, and I admire the simple honesty of your daughter (she could have skipped the toothbrush tale entirely).<br /><br />But a while back, I was reading an article on the spread of whatever you flush, in the form of "spray", scooting out of the toilet and basically covering the entire bathroom with big time bacterial spray, on EVERY flush.<br />I had never heard this before, and, well,...I am much older than your youngest daughter.<br /><br />I will not add links. Look for yourself and Google any form of "toilet flush spray how far" and there are so many articles, tests, proven fact, that it will make your hair stand on end.<br /><br />You may also begin a flush program with the lid down.<br /><br />That is still not enough. Get the brushes as far from the toilet as you can. Lysol the rest of the room often.<br />I have seen clear lids for brushes that are hung to dry, and the lid covers all as you close it, but leaves the underside open for the brush to dry (bacteria do not grow well where it is dry; they grow in your toilet, sink, and tub best....floor...not so good for growth).<br /><br />My youngest sister bragged that she completed all of college without ever touching the toilet lid, but standing on her feet on the toilet.<br />We roar at her story every time.<br /><br />Ever notice that Barber Shops put their combs in a blue solution?<br />They are protecting one customer from others, who share the comb via barber.<br /><br />Get some of that junk (maybe Listerine?) and fill a glass to dip your brush in before you brush, even if it is protected.<br /><br />Just today, I almost commented on a co-ed bathroom at a workplace, where a single mom did not like the idea of men hearing her in a stall, or worse, going to the bathroom as men do, and then using the same door lock she does to enter, before he can wash his hands.<br /><br />My perspective came from being a single dad to baby girls, and deciding if they go to the men's room, or the other. (I chose men, and blocked the door after checking there was no one in the room. Good enough for the elder daughter (still single digit age) but the baby needed changed and there were no diaper dad spots.<br /><br />Getting a Royal Flush is as tough today as in all of human history.<br />As for charity, well God bless God for creating bacteria. <br />They are useful little critters often. But that's IT for charity on the topic!<br />That will be two cents please, Mary. :-D<br /><br />Flush with confidence....say a Hail Mary too.<br />I know of no Saint for clean toothbrushes....YET!Keystonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465358638077475521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-77650784776327984552011-07-01T15:35:28.497-04:002011-07-01T15:35:28.497-04:00Hi Mary,

She brought out her tea set and asked him if he wanted some tea. He said Yes whilst watching TV. Moments later she came back with a small cup full of water, which he drank; then another, and another.<br /><br />When later he told his wife she said: Do you realise the only place she can reach for water is the toilet!<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-24996887683295760722011-07-01T02:06:30.654-04:002011-07-01T02:06:30.654-04:00Our younger kids have been caught using our toothb...Our younger kids have been caught using our toothbrushes for everything from scrubbing floors to cleaning their own teeth.
