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...

Puzzle

Sometimes we don't know what we want. Heck, most of the time we barely know what it is we need. So, isn't it amazing then that when we find it, stumble across it or when it finds us, it is basically immediately clear that it is in fact what was needed, what was wanted? Like, say you're putting together a puzzle. Perhaps it's one with oh let's say a thousand pieces (whew that's ALOT)                                                                                                                                                    http://clipart-library.com/jigsaw-puzzle.html You start with the edges putting them together and b...

Look before you eat...

Hello folks! This is NOT the Super Bowl party snack post. (check back tomorrow for that one). But it is related to food (smile) This post is a cautionary tale about food - specifically MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT! A friend and coworker of mine visited an establishment who was offering FREE bagels today. How wonderful! I really enjoy bagels from this particular restaurant. And who doesn't like. FREE, right?Well, imagine her surprise when she reached into her a bag for delightful wheel of bready goodness and finds a little something extra: The heck is THAT??!?!?!! What do you think this something extra is? (no, I'm not talking about the raisin) Look closely at the top of the bagel. Do you see those tawny colored rope-y looking things? I was hoping it was a piece of the paper bag the company put her FREE bagels in. But honestly, she I both had the same thought - "It looks like strands of WEAVE/BRAID EXTENSIONS!!!" GASP! My buddy was not ...

Cast Off

Letting go isn't always an easy thing.  It is most times, well, a necessary thing...of course necessary has nothing to do with easy.  How many of you are currently in a relationship? No, not with chocolate or alcohol but an actual relationship with another person? They text you or call you every day several times a day...you're making plans to see them before you even finish with one date...you miss them when your time together for that date is drawing to an end...you see them walking towards you and you can't help but smile, waiting for that hug, that kiss...you have so much fun with them you can't imagine them not being around... Fun stuff right? (Ok well most of the time it is - if not, get out but that's a post for another time)  Ok so for all the currently boo'd up readers, is this your first relationship? Hmm, I'm guessing probably not - at least for most anyway. So at some point you were head over heels for someone else. Each day you woke up excit...
