-- on the toilet lid issue. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think so. No one wants to walk into your home and have to look into your toilet. It's disgusting. I don't care how clean it is!

I watch a lot of the Home & Garden TV shows about home sales: "Sell This House," "House Hunters," and others. I'm amazed at the number of homes people go into to view for a possible sale in which the toilet seat was left up and the prospective buyers walk into the bathroom and are given a lovely view of the inside of the toilet. What were the sellers thinking?! It's disgusting. Sometimes the water is yellow! EW.

It's gross.

Okay, even if you don't believe in Fung Sui, the question is: why not put the lid down? How difficult is it? If you leave the lid up, you're inviting all kinds of things to fall down there. What do you have hanging on the wall above the toilet? How many times have those items fallen in?

And don't get me started on leaving the lid up and going away for any period of time. My friend owned a ranch in the country -- a second residence -- and her parents always warned her to never leave the lid up. She discovered why when we went to visit one time, and had to open up the property after an extensive absence. We walked into the bathroom, the toilet lid was up, and there was a gigantic dead and decomposing rat wrapped around the inside of the toilet, floating in the water!

Now, if that doesn't convince everyone to keep the lid closed, I don't know what else would.
