So I went to TJoe's and roomie was back in town before I got back. If Amanda were to tell her John where this John has been, he'll be very jealous and, in a quirky way, a touch impressed that you know someone who knows someone who was AT THAT GAME!!!

(That part might make a lot more sense to sports fans)

Roomie John was in Dallas anyway so stayed over the weekend and attended the big - no HUGE - win by the NYGiants over the Cowboys. :blink:

. .. . . . .the A .. . . ..

Yes, my John was celebrating this win for the Giants! He is very happy they got that far. I am not sure if they will win against the Packers though.

Good morning, Sillies.....

Hey! Anybody within comfortable driving distance to Glens Falls? (NY)...If you are, you must head to the...um...forget the name of the arena...this weekend to check out my sensational DD between the pipes at a big Atom Girl's Eastern Hockey Tournament. DH is escorting her to this one, but man, I'm just thinking that I should have checked to see if any of you northerly guys are close enough to head up there...we could have rendezvous-ed!

Oy . .. . . .

So .. . .the hoverers won't USE the seat, but also won't move it into a sprinkle-safe position, making it .. . .nearly or completely(?) .. inevitable that a weeing will occasionally occur where others will soon expect to sit????????????

<ewwwwww chicks are grrrrrrross> :lol::P

Tom....{head slowly shaking, small smile forming}...we chicks are not grrrrrross....we are simply out for number one in this serious scenario. We keep the lesser of the two heinous options, the more comfortable and likely cleaner choice, under our butts when hovering. If we have the proper hover execution and form, it should be irrelevant. Weight in the heels, arms somewhat outstretched, quads between 45 and 90 degrees from floor...I'm practicing verbal flowcharting.... :lol::lol:

Yes, Patti and Peter......who knew that this devolvement into gutter humoUr would ever occur....should we contact Scott??

...Yes, t'is true... :o

Soon it will be Psewer.... :lol::lol:

the NYGiants over the Cowboys. :blink:

That was a great game. I think that huge defensive lineman that keep trampling over everyone in his path looked...familiar. And he kept doing this funny, yet effectively distracting, move...he would suddenly... hunch down and scoot along the turf....hmmmm..... :lol::o

If I knew you were coming to NY Emily I would have tried to meet up. :)

jerseyangel Proficient
Ummmm....well....Having my bum touch the actual toilet bowl that's underneath the seat is, I believe, even more nauseating than coming in contact with the seat itself. I'll leave the seat down, and hover over IT (it's also higher, so less distance to fall if my hover is compromised).

Plus, all the men's errant pee is on the bowl! Gotta keep that covered!! (GREEN GUY)..... :o

I gotta agree totally with Emily on this one ;)

Certain vegetables? Hmmm. An interesting image is forming in my mind about cuc...never mind. :ph34r:

Great minds, Peter, great minds....... B)

You know Patti and Tom, I think the funniest veggie in the produce section is the squash like one which is angled a certain way....There's my mind in the gutter thought for the day.

Did anyone else remember the little rhyme

If you dribble

When you Piddle

Be a sweetie

Wipe the Seatie

Ok, I finally am catching up, and found the start of the hovering/wee-on-toilet conversation. At Ezra's preschool, there is a sign above the toilet-

If you sprinkle

When you tinkle

Please be neat

And wipe the seat

The funniest thing is that it's posted in the GROWN UP bathroom.

There are bathrooms in each of the classrooms, but they are only for the kids. The sinks are way down low, and the toilets are teeny little midget toilets!

This is sure to shock many of you, but I do NOT hover in public restrooms. I used to, but when I was massively pregnant with Luke, it became impossible-- at a time when I peed more than ever. Then, after I had him, I was like, Oh the hell with it. I haven't caught anything so far. :ph34r:

Furthermore, I am one of those people that generally needs a pitstop every 30-60 minutes. I use public restrooms A LOT. If the bathroom is really gross, I will indeed hover... but only if it's really bad.

Jestgar Rising Star
Oh don't get me wrong . . . I wasn't talking about any sort of serious or permanet arrangement. I just thought he might be more . . . useful . . . than the Yeti. Have him clean your car if you want.

Perhaps all you old married ladies have forgotten, but the young ones have a lot of energy, but not much skill..... :ph34r::P

OMG Sarah,

I used to work in daycares and the kid sized bathrooms cracked me up.

On the PA turnpike going towards Philly, there is a Service Plaza and it has a family bathroom, in the large stall are two toliets, one for us and a small one for the tikes. Plus there is a child changing seat thing too.

It was so neat to see and I bet it helps the parents who are traveling with children who are potty training and need the assistance, lets face public bathroom stalls are not made for much movement. :)

Jestgar Rising Star
D'oh!! :lol:

LOL and I do know how to spell it too - I'm sure I've spelled it right in the past.

Bah .. ... .the A . ... .. .and busted by susie - watch your PM Inbox for certain berating from someone who doesn't think 'wrong' should be corrrrrrrrrected.

:lol:

. .. . . . .the A .. . . ..

I think it's just another symptom of loose vowels. Sometimes they are explosive and cover the page, and sometimes you can't get them out at all.

I was nervous about admitting this, but I, too, just sit. It's only skin, people!! There are probably far worse things on the door handle as you leave the bathroom.

Yup. I still drag both my boys into the women's bathroom with me, about which Lucas is becoming unhappy. I head straight for the handicap stall- the only one with room for 3. :rolleyes: Hey, I don't want my boys to go in a big bathroom with strange men! And Lucas is so extroverted, he strikes up conversations with anyone who'll stand still long enough.

Exactly! :lol: I sit on the toilet, but when I leave I open the door with my elbows.

I would never let my young kids go into the restroom alone either. I will talk to someone on my cell phone while I stop at a rest area....you just never know. This is when I travel alone. Other times, John goes into the plaza with me. I mainly travel the interstate and there are some lonely rest areas on my trip...

OMG....yes, there are many bizarre members of the squash family that have always been fascinating to draw. The one that gets me is oblong, with large, warty-looking things sticking out all over it. Too disturbing in appearance to eat, I think....but a great still life subject. Mygawd...then there were the human subjects we had in Life Drawing that were just like this... :o:lol:

Ha! Yep, the veggies that bend are most interesting, too.... :lol:

Actually, sounds like in this case Tom has been afflicted with Irritable Vowel Syndrome, the symptoms of which are errant loss of necessary vowels (in this case, his "A"), and the subsequent irritation it causes himself, and particularly, his readers (Susie et al).... :rolleyes:

Yes, so true...I make sure to hover every time I'm reaching for that door handle. Funny, doesn't seem to keep illness away too well.... :P:lol:

Well.....there are specific procedures to avoid this very thing, so that there is no need to have skin contact with anything.

Much like the hover, which requires muscle strength, balance, and skill, there is also the foot flush, the wad of toilet paper to the stall door, to the sink faucets, to the soap dispenser, to the paper towel dispenser, then with paper towel to the exit door handle.

Oh the hilarity . . . :lol::lol::lol:

Perhaps all you old married ladies have forgotten, but the young ones have a lot of energy, but not much skill..... :ph34r::P

How hard is it to clean the vomit smell out of the car? . . . or were you referring to something else?

Exactly! :lol: I sit on the toilet, but when I leave I open the door with my elbows.

Laughing at this mental picture of opening a door with your elbows . . . :lol:

BTW, I read or heard somewhere that the cleanest stall is the first stall in the bathroom. Everyone goes past it because they think it is the one most used!

Sarah! Ewwwwwwwwwww....Icky poo! :P

No, No . . . I'm sure Sarah wouldn't sit on Icky Poo!! She'd hover or use the a$$ gasket!

:lol::lol:

Ok, if the stall has Icky Poo, I back right out. I will hunt down another bathroom- and I will find one. When I have to pee, I can't THINK straight! :lol:

Now what do you guys do if the only available stall has a broken door latch? I find this to be the one situation where a small stall is better. With a conveniently sized stall, I have managed a hover-pee while holding the door closed.

Hey! Hi, there, Photo! Let's see, now....cannot scare this one away....

Careful Emily!!!....go easy!!!

Ummmm....well....Having my bum touch the actual toilet bowl that's underneath the seat is, I believe, even more nauseating than coming in contact with the seat itself. I'll leave the seat down, and hover over IT (it's also higher, so less distance to fall if my hover is compromised).

Agreed!!

RAISING THE TOILET SEAT???????????????? :o

*shudder*

HORRORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sickest thing imaginable.....didn't we already cover this (as Julie said, "vomit and hurl" responses)

:blink:

don't MAKE us think of it again!!!!!!!! Errant pee and curly hairs............. <green face here>

*holding back vomit*

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to mention the scrubbing of the hands with anti - bac soap UNTIL THEY BLEEEEEEEEEED

That's chunder talk.

Soon it will be Psewer.... :lol::lol:

:lol:

Lulling us into a false sense of security with his 'c.com moderator' title and his cute cat pics....all the while corrupting us

Oh yes!...I remember now...

I was nervous about admitting this, but I, too, just sit. It's only skin, people!! There are probably far worse things on the door handle as you leave the bathroom.

UGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!.....the door HANDLE....EW! ....GERMS!!!!!!!!.........I always pull my sleeve down over my hand :o

'Twas at the dentist today and whilst he was merrily drilling...I was thinking (as I gripped the arms of the chair in a slightly sweaty vice like grip) ''I wonder if they wipe the arms of the chair between patients''

EWWW!!!!!......more unfamiliar germs!!!!!!!!!!! (I don't mind my own :ph34r::lol: )

:lol: Irritable Vowel Syndrome :lol: ........EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent, Emily. HOwever, two errors noted: 1, the spelling - in this case 'tis always (h)anus.....and 2, you omitted the very important information about where a woman must put her purse, because as we know, it is NEVER to touch the floor of the stall. (must find a hook, or cradle it in one's arms WHILST hovering, or hang it around one's neck......)

:lol:

okay - - no more sad - - happy - - happy - - fun - - upbeat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:huh:

Ridgewalker Contributor

But like, ok, if there's a little curly hair on the seat (gack,) do you just leave it there and hover an inch over it??? Static cling could cause said hair to jump to your bum!

I take a generous wad of toilet paper and swipe that baby into the toilet. Any stray droplets are similarly taken care of. If I have had to do these things, though, I have to admit I will probably hover over that particular seat.

nikki-uk Enthusiast

Actually first read Tom's new name as Hubba Bubba the first time.... :lol: ..........bubble gum??? :blink: ......must wear them glasses more often :lol:

...also, I am SO exited that I now know when someone is posting now....keep hitting refresh (are they done yet??? :blink: )....I am such a loser!!!!! :lol::lol:

Gosh, that's right--I had forgotten all about that. :)

Personally, I don't touch anything with my skin from the time I enter a public restroom till I leave.....toilet paper to open the stall door, line the seat, foot flush, more T.P to open the door back up, etc--and I notice the restroom powers-that-be are getting wise to this, as more and more I see a waste basket conveniently located to toss the piece of paper towel used to open the door to leave.

Tom--why did you change your name????? We need to know :P

I thought about changing mine a while back when I moved to PA.....don't think I will, though :unsure:

:lol: (h)anus :lol:

Hi Photo! :) Is she still here, or did Emily do it again? :P

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure. 
    • Mari
      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
