I think flushing the toilet in my house makes the shower hot? I forget.
I am so obsessed with solar powered water heaters.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I got laughed at hard when I expected it still in North American houses.
Really? I think that's normal. No, wait, Jesse's way - you get scalded because the cold water all goes to the flush.
ETA: I live alone so not really an issue BUT if I start the shower running and have to pee while the hot water is warming up (as often happens) I don;t flush because I'm honestly not sure what will happen but I'm certain it would be bad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Scald, yes, not ice. But I got laughed at when I postponed flushing. I would not be surprised if that turned out to be an expression of snobbery on said relative's part. I got mad relatives like that.
Last week I called UCLA to find out where the process was and they called my final reference, which says I'm still in it, and it's still open.
So today, I called to find out what their timeline is, and what my chances are. I need to call back this afternoon....yoinks. I want this to be my last unemployed week, dammit.

I hope this afternoon's call has good news for you!

I postpone flushing if I'm about to get in the shower.
My good cholesterol is stubbornly low. Exercise not fish oil supplements seem to budge it. Even when the bad is going down.

Thrive to spite them
Flushing my toilet reduces the water pressure so I always wait. Also the washing machine on the weekends I mess up and start laundry when I want to take a shower.

I didn't know the Zombies app worked other than with GPS, because I already know my so-called "smart" phone isn't good enough to really hold onto a GPS signal. So if the accelerometer works instead....

We try to not flush when someone is in the shower, so there'd be no laughing at you here. Flushing in my house reduces the water pressure in the shower to a trickle. That's what 70 year old pipes will get you.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I have completed 5 of 6 interviews today for the job I've been doing since November. Word is that a decision will be made by the end of the week.
