Okay I know this is totally random, but since we were talking about toilet seats, I thought I'd just throw in how NASTY I think it is to have the cushioned toilet seats. My friend's parents has one and when I'd go inside from swimming to use the restroom, I always found it gross to sit on something cushioned with the possibility of MORE germs imbedded on it. BLAHHHHHHH
As for the whole pillow sham thing. I did at one time have the regular pillows with the regular pillow shams and then the decorative ones with the prettier shams on them. Hello, I sleep in a twin bed and had four pillows on it (don't ask how). I never slept on the ones with the prettier shams. My parents used to sleep on the prettier ones, but their new comforter and matching prettier chams aren't comfortable enough (they're a rough material). So, I guess that settles that.
