Survival Series - How to Survive a Visit to a Public Bathroom

PUBLIC BATHROOMS! There - I said it...two words that strike fear and dread in some of the stoutest hearts. This is especially true if you happen to be a woman. Ladies, how many times have you been willing to risk damage to your kidney rather than use the public facilities? I mean, really, men have it sooooo easy. (If you need that explained to you - send me an email, k?")

How to survive a visit to a public bathroom...


1. Exercise - Wait, here me out. The next time you're in the gym add a few extra reps of lunges and deep knee bends to your exercise routine. They will help strengthen your quadriceps. This will come in handy...trust me.
2. Levitate - Most facilities are very clean but just in case, a little bit of hovering wouldn't hurt. Unless of course you skipped step #1 and didn't build up your quadriceps. (See, I told you it would come in handy)
3. Buddy System - There's a reason why we ladies go to the bathroom in groups when we are out and about. It isn't to gossip about how sexy our dates are - okay maybe it is...but really it's because we have to have someone to talk to while waiting in the ridiculously long line for an available toi- ahem, you know what I mean.
4. Try, try again - Your mom was on to something when she suggested you should try to use the bathroom before you left the house. all those times you were getting ready to go out and she would say "Do you have the use the bathroom?" and you'd say "I don't have to go!" and she would say "TRY ANYWAY!" Usually, you ended up HAVING to go. She wasn't being a nag, she was trying to help you avoid public bathrooms!
5. Wash, rinse and repeat - Please, be sure you wash your hands. You should do this anyway - even at home - but especially after using a public restroom. You don't know who used it before you. you don't know if they washed their hands before grabbing the door handle to leave the bathroom and know you have their germs. Don't follow this rule and you might end up looking like this...

6. Just Say No - In some cases, it's best to avoid the situation all together. Just wait until you get home or at least to a place that you are familiar with (friends house, relative, etc.) After all, you never know what could happen in a public bathroom...

Yay! I've finally figured out how to get the recordings to show up on my blog. So this one is a actually a test recording. But I'm playing around here, so don't expect radio quality...at least not yet 😜 This first one is a recording of a post currently up on my blog titled Hostage Negotiations. May just add the recorded versions for those who'd rather listen than read. Plus, this new app has some pretty nifty features that I cannot wait to try out! Hostage podcast Peace, Mackgurl

Being Strong Is Not for the Weak

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right?  Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? So w

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi
