Blue Moon

That is so funny! I don't think I sit that far back, I think only half way back. I had to go look at my loo and see. We have rubbed off the white coating on ours. Actually, Toilet Truth here, our seat is soooo cold that I sit on my hands for just #1, so there are worn off hand marks on the edges.

You can buy really cool toilet seats now, all kinds and colors. Although I think that seat is a one-of-a-kind, and priceless! Maybe turn it into a mirror for your bathroom after you get a new one.

Does anyone in your family work for Intel? I had to laugh when I saw their pentium 4 commercial last night after reading your post. They have the bright blue men in suits jumping around. :haha:

Call and complain to scrubbing bubbles and they will probably send you a bunch of coupons at least....and get a good laugh.

if they are wooden toilet seats.. just paint them and then seal them really well with some Thompsons water sealer...

we have repainted our toilet seats ... my daughter paints them to look like aligator heads... on the lid itself.. and then when you lift the lid, the seat and the underside of the lid look like the inside of the aligator mouth..............

ok... we tend to be a little Addams Familyish... but they make great conversation pieces...

we had a little tiny bathroom under the stairs in our last apartment.. we painted the seat like an aligator, sponge painted the walls green to look like leaves.. tacked up silk ivy vines around the top and added other jungle decor. Since this was the downstairs bathroom.. and the one company used.. lets just say... we had lots of interesting comments... lol

however, in the interest of those comments, I would definitely save one of the blue seats and maybe decorate the bathroom to compliment it... with Smurfs and/or Blueman Group Music

If you're gonna blame it on her pregnancy, who can she point the finger at for that condition (the mail man, maybe?) Remember, no matter what goes wrong, it is always Hubby's fault!

I still think the Smurfs theory is a good one Or maybe its Oompa Loompahs arent they blue? Brings a whole new meaning to the term "Once in a blue moon"
:haha:

I cannot believe this . . . this morning I went to clean the bathroom (my least favorite job) and was pleasantly surprised to see that my husband had cleaned the toilet (my least favorite of the least favorite jobs).

Imagine my surprise to see several blue spots underneath the seat! I looked in the bathroom closet and saw the Scrubbing Bubbles. I'll find out tonight when he gets home from work, but I'm guessing that he used the Scrubbing Bubbles to clean the toilet.

Thanks to this thread, though, I won't have to wonder whether a smurf broke into my bathroom and peed rather messily on the seat.

I'll never understand why people buy commercial cleaners... I just use diluted vinegar (1/2 vinegar & 1/2 water) for almost everything, and baking soda or bleach for what's left.

For toilet, I just pour about 1/2 c of bleach in the water and let it sit a while before scrubbing...works better, and cheaper than scrubbing bubbles any day, and gets rid of the smells as well.

I got the Scrubbing Bubbles awhile back with triple coupons and on sale at Kroger. Wound up costing me a whopping 25 cents, I think. Used it a couple of times, and decided it wasn't so great. I didn't throw it away, though. It is, however, in the garbage even as we speak.

That is not correct. The bluish discoloration that happens intermittently is from methlyl blue in medications, which are freely filtered by the kidneys into the urine, particularly certain urinary antispasmotics often used when a patient has a foley catheter

I've heard of blue bloods, but never blue butts.
