Early Sunday morning, as I was getting ready for church, I noticed that a light bulb was no longer working in my bathroom.  As usual, I was running a little late and didn’t have the time to change it. So, I showered in the dark.  Later, after returning from church and running a few errands I remembered that I needed to change the light bulb in the bathroom.  Out of laziness, I didn’t fetch my step ladder and opted stand on the toilet in order to reach the light fixture.  Well, I slipped in the process. I didn’t fall but I did break my toilet seat. The plastic fasteners snapped.  You know, those little plastic bolts? Now my toilet seat will not rest on the commode properly.  It kind of slides out from under you.  Not good right?

So I went to Home Depot to buy a new seat and was blown away with the world of options.  No kidding, I stood there in the aisle for 20 minutes trying to make a decision.  Well, I couldn’t.   So, I hopped back into my truck and drove back home.  I started to weight the pros and cons, and limited my options to three toilet seats.  I have had the hard plastic ones most of my life.  I have also used the foam padded ones, which I remember enjoying.  However, I recall those being uncomfortable during the hot summer months.  The third choice was to go with the natural wood seat.  The last thing I want to do is make a quick decision on such an important home improvement project.  They have a million home improvement shows on TV, but none dedicated to the project at hand.  Which do you prefer?  Plastic, foam, or wooden?  Please leave your helpful comments below or email them to newman@wbee.com.
