Oh, a post just for me! And on my favourite holiday, World Toilet Day.
I'll think of you later Anna, as we celebrate with the traditional unwrapping of the toilet paper, and the giving of urinal cakes. Yay World Toilet Day!
I always get nervous walking into the toilets in foreign countries. You never know what it's going to look like. Sometimes it's a normal bowl, other times it's a porcelain trench you have to squat over, and sometimes it sprays you in the butt if you push the wrong button.
@GirlFailer: For me its the whether or not you can flush paper down question that gets me. And then trying to explain to other Americans that it is their fault their toilet keeps overflowing, once you realize the answer is no.
@Kivrin: They didn't have it in Okinawa in a lot of places, too. They sell these little rolls of charmin, and I carried them with me. I'm not a fan of the drip dry method.
@Lymed: Yeah, sometimes I wonder if it's common in certain countries to not poo in public. It would make sense with the lack of TP, and the easily overflowing toilets. #tips
@Kivrin: Toilet paper is not the scary part; you carry a small packet with you. The scary part is squatting over a little trench with NO DIVIDERS and fifty older women squatting/watching you. (This was in Beijing at a tourist restroom, and they're not all like that.)
@shorty63136: I was just gonna say the same thing. That would suck if you *really* had to go. Poor lady is gonna need a step stool (no pun intended....okay maybe. ) to get into that thing. Get it? Stool? Ok, whatever.
The Chinese Snow Patrol have done it again with the incredible High Definition Hairâ„¢, no more worrying. These hair replacement systems are designed to replicate your front hairline the way nature intended.
Wet it. Gel it. Slick it back. Top Knot it. #beijingweather
@Kivrin: Well, he is the product of artificially induced snow - he is going to mutate, for sure, and then no-one will be safe. Haven't these Chinese scientists ever watched a horror film?
Tell your stupid assistant superintendent that he's 15 years behind the times. I took my girlfriend to prom in 1994. The seas did not boil, the earth did not quake, and society did not instantly crumble. A couple of guys came out of the closet a year later, but I'm pretty sure that would have happened anyway.
Don't back down. Prom is silly, overrated, and damn important in this society.
That condom story already had me cringing, but when I got to the part that they were packaged by shirtless men without being sterilized, just....ewww!
I'm guessing the men where shirtless due to it being hot (likely terrible conditions to work in), so I'm picturing them dripping sweat onto the condoms as they are being packaged. Yuck... #condoms
@formergr: I actually don't think regular condoms are sterilized. Legal ones I mean. There's no reason to sterilize them because what they go on and in aren't sterile areas. #condoms
@Tart of Darkness: Here's a little thing on how condoms are made. Everyone making them are wearing protective gear and it appears to be a clean zone that the condoms are being made in. Much different from condoms made by sweaty men without any face masks (presumably) and with probably limited hygienic options. Also, there's no use of veggie oil, but instead safer, more long-lasting lubricants.
@Dancingfrog: I wasn't implying that they are not properly made under clean conditions as regulated for the kind of medical device that they are, but they are not sterilized. They are made under "clean" conditions, not sterile ones. #condoms
@Tart of Darkness: Oh, I didn't mean to imply that you said anything. I just wanted to post that link because it's interesting, and your post was the next one up to reply to. #condoms
@Dancingfrog: And I wanted to say I did enjoy your link. When I rewrote my post because my first one was clumsy (er than what I posted) I left that out. People should know how their protection is made. #condoms

On second thought, I don't want to know.

Controlling the weather? I don't like it one bit. When this turns into The Storm, I'm not sure James and Luke can save us.

Dear Cynthia,
Tell your stupid assistant superintendent that he's 15 years behind the times. I took my girlfriend to prom in 1994. The seas did not boil, the earth did not quake, and society did not instantly crumble. A couple of guys came out of the closet a year later, but I'm pretty sure that would have happened anyway.

Love,
