I need Life Coach Taylor. Possibly Eric and Tami taking turns motivating/inspiring/cluesticking me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I had coed bathrooms in college.
That Tumblr is kind of awesome. Did you guys hear that Jason Katims is writing a script for an FNL movie? So excited.

Oh, hey, maybe women will have actual speaking roles in his version. That'd be cool.
I went to a women's college and my dorm had coed bathrooms (it was technically a coed dorm with cross-campus students from Haverford; in practice there were like 6 men in the whole place.)
The University where I most recently worked just sent out a memo identifying unisex bathrooms in the libraries. The building I was in has had one for as long as it's had a handicapped-accessible one - the original restrooms are too narrow for wheelchair access, so when they built an accessible bathroom it was stand-alone, and unisex because they only built the one.
I have never. Seriously, never, seen unisex bathrooms as a common thing. I'm in the midwest so I don't know WTH I would encounter a unisex bathroom. Nowhere I have gone in years has been unisex.
I lived in college in a coed res hall (once in my 4 years), I preferred all women floors, but women can be REALLY nasty when they want to be.
My office on each floor has the standard bank of men's and women's with stalls, including handicapped, and a single standalone that is unisex and also handicap accesible. So that's good at least.
Our YMCA has a family/coed changing room and bathroom. I suspect it was initially for parents who were taking their opposite gendered children into dressing rooms with them long past the age where others were comfortable with it. Still, it's there for transgendered people, too.
Neither of our office environments have gender designations on the restrooms. Doing a mental inventory all of the restrooms at my customer offices I see only unisex. But all my customers are medical practices so I suspect this is the norm here. The only designation I see is sometimes for patient or staff.
Restaurants are another matter. There we just see various cutesy variations of men/women. At times I have had to think a moment to figure out which one I was.
ION, I hosted a tv watching gathering of parents, friends, and relatives of DH's basketball team playing on ESPN last night. It was a close and exciting game with our boys in the lead most of the game, but they lost in the end. Tough of course, but awesome for a poor public school team to get national attention. Their state championship and ESPN invite has resulted in significantly increased attention from the D1 universities and scholarship opportunities. The only other public school invited was crushed in their game so the 4 remaining are the well funded private programs.
So they played well and impressed a whole lot of people and all our senior players have scholarship offers. And next year we will have more scouts attending and watching. The 3 player (single) moms watching with me saw their babies on ESPN, and will be making final decisions on which offer to accept. The moms worked as hard as the boys to make this happen. It is all good.
I didn't sleep well last night, but I did sleep! And the antibiotics are having an immediate effect, after only one dose, so YAY!!
Yay sleep! It is good to hear you finally got some relief.
