one thing i'm thankful for...

This sounds ridiculous, but one thing I'm very thankful for are disposable toilet cover sheets. You know what I'm talking about, the thin-filmy-flushable paper that you place on the seat before sitting on it. These sheets are a rather new phenomenon that have become quite common in the last couple years or so.

I was thinking about it today as I was sitting on the toilet (sorry for the details)... it's funny how a thin piece of paper 1/10th of a millimeter thick can give us such a sense of security. Some of the filthiest toilets in the world you couldn't pay me to sit on are bearable with some cleaning and the placement of just one disposable sheet. But yes, I'm very thankful for that and for the brilliant man who just got tired of carefully placing strips of toilet paper down before using the toilet.

This is kind of a random post, but I've found that life is so much more pleasant when you are thankful for the little things.

(btw, it's pretty exciting to see comments being left on the posts... so please do!)

pretty amazing.. one day every bathroom will have the auto-circulating plastic covers that are in the airports.

I am sure that in near future, paper or plastic covers will be replaced with automatic invisible ones - such as air (patentable idea?). I wish we could see a cover that protects from sin.
