I do not remember that little rhyme, but it brings up a question I have long pondered:

Why is there sometimes pee on the seat in a women's washroom stall? What is a woman doing that allows her to get urine (sometimes a fair amount) on the seat? Is she standing? Oracle Peter, do you know the answer to this? :D

:ph34r: :ph34r: To be honest, I usually "hover" when I use a public washroom and sometimes that results in a bit of sprinkling on the seat :ph34r: :ph34r: BUT . . . I honestly do usually clean any spray off before flushing. I think it started when I went to Grenada (edit: Grenada was nice, it was Guadeloupe that was a bit yucky) with my family when I was 10 or so and the washrooms were really gross and so I started squatting/hovering.

Ahhhh, a worthy question for Regis Philbin Peter. I'm waiting in anticipation for his answer.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT????????????? :o Omygaaaaaaawd, I have NEVER, and I mean NEVER in my life, sat on a public toilet seat, or almost any toilet seats, unless I am comfortable w/ the locale (my house, my mom's house, people w/ cleaning ladies, and people w/ no small children in the house :lol: )................ THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!! :o:o:o A serious phobia.....I am a squatter/hoverer - - you think those flimsy tissue thingys really PROTECT you from....from......someone else's anal gland residue?????????????? :blink::lol:

So yeah, there's usually pee on the seat after I've weed (Wiid?) - but I wipe it up EVERY time.......so I'm a considerate squatter. ;)

I hoover too....

then again, not only is their pee all over the seat but sometimes #2 everywhere too, like a Poo expolsion....eck! Women who pee on the seat and don't clean it repulse me....it's not like you have to aim...so what is your excuse for the mess?

WHO the heck's Phileas Fogg Regis Philbin?!?!?!?!?! :huh::lol:

OMG!!!....ALEX!!...(she looks such a sweet young thing in her av) ...and yet she single handedly sorted our Yeti's back end problem..........DAMN!! That girl must have a supersize nasal peg :unsure:

She is a Yeti whisperer

A wii (not to be confused with wee) was received by the youngest of my clan - I like the golf! ;)

Do you not think everyone will be bowled over by our fantastic witty repartee?? :o .......surely we are staggeringly hilarious to all?????????????????? :unsure: ........What does Julie mean ''our humoUr might be lost on some''??????.............they must have had a funny bypass or something.....

.......and yes Amanda...WHO ARE these women who sh#t all over the seat, floor etc?!?!?! :o (uggggghhhhh...public toilets - only EVER in a dire emergency :o )

jerseyangel Proficient
I know I have come close to piddling on the floor :)

:lol::lol:

Let's just say it was an interesting evening. The Yeti seemed very out of sorts when I picked him up at the train station yesterday. Lots of scooting and chasing his tail (does he have a tail??) and seeming quite uncomfortable. So I did what I had to do: put on some gloves, said a little prayer, and found myself to be very thankful that my mom taught me how to empty our poor puppy's anal glands that fateful day over a decade ago! Our yeti seemed much relieved and slept very peacefully last night. He's like a brand new (mystical, magical) man today!!!

OMG Alex--sounds like you jumped in with both feet--or should I say thumbs :P

Yes! deathly ill, and a multimillionaire...a dream catch! :lol:

.....with one foot on a banana peel ;)

:ph34r: :ph34r: To be honest, I usually "hover" when I use a public washroom and sometimes that results in a bit of sprinkling on the seat

I always line the seat with tons of toilet paper--have tried the squat, but peed down my leg :unsure:

WHO the heck's Phileas Fogg Regis Philbin?!?!?!?!?! :huh::lol:

He's a "fixture" on morning TV here. He has a talk/variety show that he has always hosted with a younger woman--lots of unscripted chat for the first 15 minutes or so.

He might be Peter.

...I dunno, guys...I'm a hoverer from a way back (bum cheeks do NOT hit seat EVER), but I've never considered hovering a reason to get wee on the seat...Whatsamaddah with you guys? You hover, way down low, a true squat with all weight in your heels, and you can maintain things about an inch from said seat. If it's a long pee, your quads could start to burn a bit. You blokes must be standing!

I think I need to become a consultant for this. :lol::lol::lol:

I used to be a hoverer but bad knees now (thanks for making me bring that up again). We engineers (in my case former) call it the toilet paper gasket when we line our seats.

I would rather wee outside in the bushes than step foot in one.

I am usually successful at keeping the seat dry.....but once, quite recently, I was in an URGENT pee mode - tons of wee :ph34r: - I was hovering and not paying attention.....in a shopping mall (well, in the bathroom of the mall, more correctly), and there was a woman and her toddler waiting to come in after me.....

imagine my horror when I looked down, and realized that my pee was somehow - do NOT ask me how :blink: - hitting outside of the bowl, down the front, with a thin but steady TRICKLE OF URINE, forming a direct, rapidly-increasing stream that went slowly OUTSIDE THE STALL and.....you guessed it - straight toward this pair waiting outside............. :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

So much better day today at work, got a great compliment from a woman at one of our cooperative groups we do some clinical trials through, says she always likes the data I send in, always good and if she says any clarification forms I send in are always answered very nicely. She says when she sees it is Amanda signing off the bottom she knows it is quality work....I was very happy. It was the sunshine in my rainy week.

TGIF....tomorrow

I think this weekend we are going to check out the PA Farm show.

OMG - Grey's - I don't even care either!!!!!!! I am SO not happy about McSteamy's new nurse girl.....not even interested in her! And Meredith is just so.....psycho....... I'm sick of them!!!!!

so I, also, am a loser. :lol:

Seeing how Amanda is newly married and her new husband will be WITH her . . . I strongly discourage checking out the cowboys, farmers, and ag guys . . . or at the very least, be sneaky about it. :ph34r:

Sillies I need to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I work with this nurse and she is so darn rude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I was having another good day (which after this week felt nice) I was a doubting myself on an upcoming lab submission schedules so I wanted to double check with her just to make sure nothing got missed...

She told me I was wasting her time with stupid questions which I should know the answers to...she said more things but now I cannot remember any thing more since I was so mad and deep down offended....All it takes is one thing to turn a good day into hell....

I have always butted heads with this person, I guess with some people that relationship will never exist and I believe this is the case. There should be a point where you put all things aside and say look past this and we have a job to do....

My other coworkers who all are aware of this problem have said I should talk to my supervisor about this but I am not sure where to start and even if it is a good idea.

Any suggestions on dealing with the rude?

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/
