Eliot’s mother, the late, beautiful, wonderful Rhoda Hess, had him potty trained by nine months. At least that’s the story Eliot tells. Ever since then, Eliot has had great respect for the time he spends on the throne.

He doesn’t understand why everyone is not as disciplined as he is. This is all well and good except his bathroom looks like a magazine store. There are times the magazines are stacked so high that visitors question how many folks really use that room.

From time to time I say, “Time to clean your magazine shelf.” This usually happens when I know we are getting company. I have a new remedy for all this. It is a bathroom stand that replaces a traditional basket of magazines by accommodating both an iPad and a roll of toilet paper.

Available from Hammacher Schlemmer, the iPad Commode Caddy is ideal for browsing one’s digital reading materials while indisposed. The stand places the iPad at the best eye level height if you are sitting down. At 32″ from the floor on top of a flexible 10″ gooseneck, the unit provides the best positioning for reading in either portrait or landscape mode.The paper roll tube snaps/unsnaps easily for replacement.

Let the good times roll for $99.95.
