RE: more poopie & potties (going OT?)

[Guest guest]

You know, I think you can just wig yourself out about this stuff to no

end. But really, do any of the 3000+ of you know ANYONE who's pretty

sure that they caught any sort of illness from toilet flushing too close

to their precious selves? Or even, horrors! using public toilets without

those paper seat cover 'doilies' or the hand-constructed toilet-paper

toilet seat cover? Call me bold and wild, but unless there's pee or

other gunk visible on the seat (in which case I move on to another

stall), I live at the edge by flopping my delicate naked bottom onto the

communal toilet seats to do my biz. 35 years and counting, not a single

toilet-related illness. Of course, I am scrupulous in my hand-washing

(before AND after if I have female stuff to take care of during my potty

visit), and I try not to make a habit of using really gross public

toilets, but I think these concerns are hugely overstated if you have a

healthy immune system... that's WHY we have immune systems! Folks who

are immune-system compromised should take every precaution imaginable,

of course.

I must admit to secretly thinking mean things about people here at work

who use the paper toilet-seat covers even though our restrooms are

thoroughly cleaned TWICE a day, every day. Those toilets are cleaner

than the at-home toilets of every single person who uses them, I'd bet,

mine included.

And, don't get me started on companies that set up " lactation stations "

in their restrooms for women who are pumping breastmilk for their

babies. Just think about that... Would you make a tuna with mayo and

tomato on rye for your boss behind the little curtain in the " lactation

station " in the restroom at work? Would he/she eat it if they knew where

you'd made it? I doubt it. So why on earth do they think we should

prepare a tiny INFANT'S meal in there??? Sorry to be OT. Another nerve.

Twitch, twitch, from the b*tch. LOL

it

creates a " mist " that comes up and sprays you!!!!!! just my .02!!

For me, it's not the thought of getting a communicable disease from the

toilet (I also sit right on the toilet seat, but my bottom isn't anything

close to delicate, especially when my extra thigh skin hangs over the sides

of the seat). The thought of brushing your teeth with a tooth brush that

has been bathed in toilet water though is pretty gross to me. That's just

me of course, maybe other people out there are worried about those " toilet

seat diseases " that our mothers or grandmothers warned us about. lol.

I've noticed the lactation stations in the public restrooms too. There's

one in a mall near here. I can't imagine feeding a baby in a mall bathroom

(I couldn't breastfeed, but I wouldn't whip out a bottle in there either!).

I've also seen places that have separate rooms for nursing mothers or anyone

needing to take care of their baby, those are usually pretty nice.
