Hey Tinkletoes - Yes, coffee can not coffee cup. LOL. I got a kick out of that when you told me about that. Too cute.

As I drove back to my motel after the GTG, I made a wrong turn that took me in the opposite direction. I was on the phone with DH, who was on the computer in our motel room, trying to help me get back on track. (Moi had actually given me an escort for several miles when I discovered that my GPS no longer worked).

All I could think was I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!!! I'll bet the driver behind me wondered what music I was bouncing to, lol. I mean, it was like I was 9 months pregnant all over again. I HAD TO GO!!!

Gas station bathrooms scare me, so I pulled into a friendly looking CVS Pharmacy. Was greeted at the door by a nice young man, then whizzed past him to the back of the store. I was a desperate woman, so good thing he didn't get in my way!

I found the door labeled RESTROOMS, no problem. Could NOT open the thing because it required a CODE! Say What? A code to go to the bathroom? I made a quick stop at the pharmacy and learned the secret combination *cue 007 music* and (happily) it worked.


The last time I had to go that bad I actually was pregnant. 30 years ago we stopped somewhere near Lake Tahoe at a restaurant and I had to wait in line to talk with the lady at the counter to inquire where the bathroom was. She said I had to buy a can of soda first. So I paid $2 for a 35 cent can of Coke (I would have glady paid $10 at the time).

She pressed a hidden button and the door marked "Conference Room" magically opened to reveal a nice, clean single stall bathroom. Ahhhhhhh



How about you? Had any close calls?
I KNEW there was a reason why I haven't gone ANYWHERE in 17 years.

lol

Just because we have a hose doesn't make it easier...

whoever invented zipper should be shot because it is NOT that easy navigating the hose through the zipper...(you have to factor in that men's underwares don't help either. IT is a triangular opening that always make the hose crooked and really, navigating the hose through the triangular opening is work unto itself...so by the time the hose is out, there is quite a bit of clothing material between the head of the hose and the two ball bearings that are already being crushed....

and you have to remember, we pump them out, so when there are many obstacles blocking the pumping mechanisms, it makes it harder for the liquid to come out....


6 out of 7 times flesh often can get caught and then you factor in follicles it can create more problems!!! HUSH UP ABOUT EASY!!! LOLOLOL

the only advantage is that we can do it standing up and write our names in the snow...I mean, that IS fun....

OK, but seriously...

I used to work at hotels...and I hope I don't get burnt for this but...

hotels usually have the cleanest bathrooms...

and they usually don't mind that you go in and use their bathroom (don't tell them "MOI" told you that) because they DO want your business.

Especially the BIG chains...like the Comfort Suites and such...I know my regional manager and I had a conversation about it once. I told her that I really hate it when people come in to use the bathrooms when she told me that by keeping our bathrooms clean and letting folks use it, they could potentially become future customers...

that conversation has become a part of my business way of life, really...

everyone is a potential customer, never look at the now...

OK, digressing here...

but if anyone ever want to use a clean restroom while traveling, I would suggest hotels...

now, I wouldn't go in as a group...you know, 10 at a time or something...

the clerks don't usually ask questions cause they usually think you are a patron there.

I have saved one of the keys from the hotel room and IF they do ask, I just flash the key real quick and mumble a room number. But they usually don't ask.

and I always exit from the back entrance....LOLOL

OK, that's my two cents...

LOL is it out on DVD? I am afraid I'd never seen any of them, but that's the guy that wrote for "Seinfeld" right? David something...

SEE! If you a man, you'd get it!! LOLOL

and of course, one of my fave episodes on Seinfeld was the "Shrinkage"

ROTFLMAO..........

which reminds me, navigating the hose in the winter time is 10 times as hard....

no puns intended in any shape or form...

gosh, I am going to get myself into so much trouble....

Well having brothers I didn't need the visual...my yougest brother got in some really big trouble once. Something bout writing his name on the neighbor's 'wet paint' fence. He did misspell his name...that was how he got caught, woulda been better ifn he used his name. lol

Twink...that is just the reason I drive a F150 four door with back seats that let up...you can actually put a small toliet behind the front seat. Only other problem is 'warning' labels when you need to go?

New truck, no stops, bad experience...two hours cleaning truck, after driving another thirty minutes and an hour taking a shower/changing clothes.

Sho nuff glad you made it!!

Excuse me, I just had to go bathroom as I read this...really! I'm back now though (if I wasn't back how would I be writing). This post reminded me of the time I was jumping in my box. My DH was a cub scout leader & they were in the Christmas parade he wanted me & our DD to be in the Christmas parade too cuz I helped out alot. I came up with cutting big boxes & wrapping them in Christmas wrap & wearing them. Lisa & I had to go peepee 1st & it was about time to start but no one would let us go to front of the line & we were almost late.
