Kathe dear, I loved this account of bathroom humor, and am delighted to be the first person to add my comment. Your witty way of telling something as ordinary as replacing a toilet seat had me laughing out loud as I pictured the scene in my mind. What a welcome, light-hearted story!
Keep on keeping on,
Sandi in FL.

Okay Kathe, now I'm the one falling off my chair. This story is hilarious. This is a winner for sure.

Kathy, what a great story. I was able to visualize the whole thing. I've never changed a toilet seat in my life and would probably be guilty of calling for help. My husband has always done it all and I am never asked to help with any projects and I like it like that. God Bless You, I've told many people about you. You are truly an inspiration to me..

You go, gal! Just goes to show you what a little determination can do for a person...and it left you with a hilarious story to boot...
I'm not so proud of my plumbing abilities since reading this - I can't fathom doing it with one hand and a hook. You are amazing!

I think some version of this story was the very first I read of yours, Kathe. What a prophetic beginning! I am so proud of you and all your successes. You are not only a talented writer w/a great sense of humor but a determined woman who does not allow over-whelming challenges become more than challenges. You are a visual symbol of the We Shall Overcome mystique. Jo Doofe

Gave me a good laugh just before I toddle off to bed. Bet I dream about Kathe and her toilet antics tonight. Loved this story the first time I read it and just as much this time around. Good stories never seem to get old. Thanks for the smiles.

If I Had a bad day this morning, no one would have known it, for after reading your story, I have been giggly all day, just invisioning you or anyone turned upside down try to get to the bottom of a seat cover, using a flash-light is the topper of them all. You do have a way to make a person laugh.

Kathe - Having experienced the process of changing out several toilet seats myself, I can only marvel at your accomplishment on handling it with such skill and confidence. I'm sure husband Ken was most supportive and showed his appreciation by taking you out to a most enjoyable dinner at which time you regaled him with the intimate details of the toilet-seat-changing process.

Kathe, you are such a joy to read your stories. You have such a great attitude, and believe me it sure helps, I know having cancer and a husband with parkinsons. You gave me a wonderful treat with that story, you are very special.

I just thought of a great title for a book: KATHE'S MOUNTAIN. It would have every emotion and possible incident, from the "sublime to the ridiculous." You either make me laugh or cry, sometimes at the same time. This chronicle did both! Barbara Carpenter

Enjoyed your "toilet seat blues"
I readily agree everyone should replace a toilet seat or a flap valve sometime in their life.
