I'm sitting on top of the world

There are days I do feel like I am. I have a good life that I worked hard to achieve. Now is the fun time. But when I said sitting on top of the world I am talking about our new toilet seat!
I ordered an elongated, wooden seat with metal hinges from Amazon.com. When it arrived the package said 'elongated' but it was actually about 4 inches to short and therefore it didn't fit the toilet. It was returned to Amazon and credited.
I decided to check out Lowe's online and I came across what they call a 'soft close' wooden, elongated seat with metal hinges. It was about $10 more than a 'regular close' type but I though, why not get it?!
It arrived yesterday and my husband installed it. It's a lot of fun! It doesn't close automatically. When you are finished - you have to pull the lid forward a little and it takes over and it does close very softly. You can't even hear it when it touches the seat.
Sometimes you just need to add a little levity to the necessities!

@AbbyGreenhill Absolutely! Especially during the night I like to have a silent home.

There is enough noise already, so any we can get rid of is good right?!

this whole bit made me giggle. I could see a non slamming lid being nice though

Toilet seats aren't the norm for discussions in public, but then again I'mm not normal either.

What fun is it it you can't slam a drawer once in a while! The toilet not costly to change, the cabinets not so much.

@DianneN This house is only 4 year old, it was 2 when we bought it - so no redoing cabinets for years to come. I throw things, mostly the remote when I'm mad.

@AbbyGreenhill I'm a foot stomper and pot slammer. Lol! When we redid our house, it was the thing to do. In for a penny, in for a pound.

A post about a toilet must be a first of its kind! I love the photo and I expect there are many sitting on top of the world using their mobile phone!

@AbbyGreenhill Now I am really curious, because I thought it was merely an ornament.

@41CombedaleRoad You give the lid a gentle push and it closed automatically.
