KING AND QUEEN upon a new throne...

oooh to smell the rain and hear the thunder...it's like i'm back in georgia again! ANYWAYS...(as ignacio in nacho libre says it) - the king and queen of this castle are looking for a new throne.

seems the one we've reign'd on for the past 5 yrs. is at the end of it's life. to that i say..."good riddons (i don't know how to spell that word) you horridly, gross TOILET!

so in my shopping this week for a new one i realized that the price of "relieving yourself" can be quite costly. AND at WHAT point in our society did it seem necessary to invent a toilet that was over $15oo.???!?? i mean COME ON PEOPLE! i thought i could just go out and get a toilet for like $200...and then i started shopping around - perhaps too much shopping around, and realized it's like buying candy! any color. any size. any gadget - warmer, dual flush (which i learned means flushing for either #1 or #2). lovely. gravity force or pressure assisted. elongated or round toilet seat. tall, short, loud, quiet. OOOOHHHH my freakin' heck! so of course the one i liked was like $900 and like, i'm sorry, i'm not about to fork out that kind of money to take a dump or barf or anything like unto it.

so it's a toss up between a one-piece toilet or a two-piece. i think i'm for sure gonna get the one piece cuz it's MUCH easier to clean and since there are 3 males in the family....enough said. of course the one-piece costs more. since we will also be remodeling the bathrooms soon i figure i should get the one i really want and that will go with my decor and style. i'm beginning to get it now. i'm sure our fore-fathers are rolling in their graves to think we pay for a toilet what they paid for a home on a farm with the cows included.

now i just have to decide...which one?

this is what a $2500 toilet looks like just in case anyone was in the market for one - not for me.

FYI...the photo of the 1st throne is only on the market for a whopping $9000 - give me a break!
