Completely unrelatedly, I swear--I know most guys won't choose to pee in the next urinal spot over from someone peeing, but will you wait or use a stall to avoid it, if there aren't any spots free?

I'll wait for a stall to open up, unless I'm on the verge of having an accident.

My dreams were so funny I laughed myself into a headache. Now that I'm properly awake, all I have is the headache and the racing pulse. No clear enough memory of the hilarity.

Which I'm pretty sure wouldn't be funny in the light of day anyway.

Okay.

Back to sleep.

Also unrelatedly, how many women feel copacetic with peeing with the door open while talking to their platonic male friend in the next room?

This doesn't bother me at all. It took DH a while to get used to the fact that I don't bother to close doors. Don't know where I got it from since my parents were very lock doorish.

Eeep, I hope the files are found, msbelle.

DH got back early from fishing. Steering wheel stuck. Every single time he goes out something happens to the boat. I have mentioned a number of times that I could enjoy many swanky fish dinners with wine and atmosphere for what each trip fishing costs. He says I don't understand fishing.

Oh, ugh, msbelle. Here's hoping Nilly's renaming idea is the right one.

I can't really pee and talk, door open or no. This is why I avoid the public bathroom at work in favor of the single wheelchair-accessible one.

off to see marie antoinette. I hope it's enjoyable.

msbelle, someone probably misplaced it. I hope you find out what happened on Monday.

Jess, best wishes to you and E!!!

My mother used to pee in front of me and EW. Scarring.

Speaking from my own experience as a mother, there's a good chance you started following her in, and she finally quit fighting it. I finally had to institute a, "If nobody's bleeding from the eyes, don't bother mommy when I'm in the bathroom" rule.

On the other question...I think I even close the door when I'm home, alone.

Me too. I mean my mom, not yours. Once even she had her period, and I asked her about the bloody toilet paper in the toilet. She explained it to me in terms a five-year-old could understand. Still freaky, though.

I don't. Sometimes when I'm sitting on the toilet, my cat comes in to the bathroom and goes into his litter box. It's cute.

I have, alas, been present for entirely too many of my dad's bodily functions, since he needs assistance when unwell or away from home. I don't know how I'd cope with the utter lack of privacy he has to endure.

I hear that, Matt. My grandfather was a quadraplegic, and literally had to be rolled over in order to take a crap for the last 10 years of his life. No wonder the poor guy was miserable.
