BWAH! To the Helicopter of Urinary Humilation. It sucks, but I'm just trying to imagine my own reaction.
My friend K. gave me some Lancome and Clarins self-tanner, so I am going to slap it on my legs and arms tonight, so I am not quite so fish-belly pallid.
I camped lots with my family when I was a kid and I loved it so much. We'd go to the mountains in Hendersonville where there was this huge rock with water running down it called Sliding Rock. You'd slide down and splash into water. Loved it.
As an adult, I've been a few times with friends and it was fun. It's been over ten years since I've camped and I really don't have a desire to anymore. Weird.
Nora, don't even listen to the whiners. Be happy with your beautiful new house. That's what GF and I did. We just tuned them out because we were so happy to have been able to buy the place. Then we did lots of work on it and it is a lovely place to be. Congrats to you Tom!!!
Way to deal with the spa issue, Aimee. Good plan.
That may be the best My First Outdoor Pee story ever. And I'm only saying "may" in case someone has a story involving monkeys and pirates.
My friend Fran could NOT pee. And we were primitive camping; no toilets, just the woods. H. and I tried everything -- we peed by her, we held her hands, we suggested leaning up against a tree.
Nothing. She didn't pee for about 16 hours. I felt awful for her.
we peed by her, we held her hands
Okay, this -- would stopper my bladder right shut. And I have no problem peeing in the wild.
We were hoping the sound of happy free pee would loosen her bladder, that maybe she'd be a sympathy pee-r.
The funny thing is, is that she's not a modest girl, or timid. She just had never camped before. She's fine, now -- hangs her butt out in the woods with the best of us.
16 hours? How awful! tho I must confess, it may have been that long before the helicopter of humiliation snerk incident...
And Aimee, good on ya. That sounds like the perfect solution.
Then why do I feel like absolute shit about it. I may need someone to put on an Aimee mask and come tell her for me. This girl can talk me into anything.
You feel like shit because it put you in a terribly awkward position. But that is not your fault, and you are absolutely in the right.
Aimée you feel like shit because you love your friend and wish you could do everything for her and be with her at every happy moment. It's your big heart bursting.
