Subject: A Sobering Thought
Okay... as I was lugging home yet another sack of processed absorbent clay, I starting doing some math (not my long suit but I think I got it right.)
The cat's 20-years-old, more or less. Ten pounds of litter a week for 52 weeks a years...
This cat has used FIVE TONS of kitty litter in her lifetime :o :o :o

That's a lot of $h!t! ;D
Subject: Re: A Sobering Thought
Yes, but did you also calculate the amount of toilet water you have used? Now thats alot of $h!T!
Subject: Re: A Sobering Thought
I was lugging home a family pack of charmenge and did a little calculating of my own.
I figure Mrs. Race has used enough TP in her life time to travel to the moon and back 2700 times!!! :o

Do you average one square or two per "use"? ;)

Uh, I believe men use TP by the square. Women use it by the yard.

Although, my kids use the "four-square" rule. They don't listen & about once a week I find a whole roll stuffed in the bottom of the toilet! :o >:(

Wow. Priss wasn't a big fan of the litter box, so she probably used about 3.5 tons...

Plus, women have an unfair disadvantage...we have to use it EVERY time, whereas men just use their underwear, hence the enormous amount of skid marks ;D

Subject: Re: A Sobering Thought
I have a cat.
I used to have three cats.
I used to be married.
Between the three, washing my ex's undies grossed me out much, much more than cleaning up after three cats. It's the skid mark thing again.
Most (but not all) women need to use more TP because of the major, major difference in the way the plumbing is arranged. Those women who are lucky enough not to need to use a lot of paper must be compensating by, er, "hovering" or "using an interesting position". Washing hands afterwards has nothing to do with what you are using the TP for (and shouldn't).
BTW, everyone should wash their hands afterwards every single time. Whether you think you need to or not. Germs are invisible!

Right you are! I have never understood people who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom, but I see it all the time. Just this morning I was in the bathroom washing my hands, when a co-worker emerged from a stall and proceeded out of the bathroom without a care in the world. ::)

Well, with scoopable kitty litter catching on everywhere we fellows are bound to fall further and further behind...
And big-time YES to washing your hands. I mean, half the public health officials will recommend using a paper towel to open the door of a public restroom when you leave (why don't public restroom doors open OUT so you could hip-check them open?)
And please, when in public, use a hankerchief or kleenex or at least cover when you sneeze or cough. It's gotta to the point where I'm about ready to carry a can of Lysol on a hip holster.
Subject: Re: A Sobering Thought
Oh, no way :D ! Now I'm back to thinking about thong underwear. I don't care about females using these sort of garments, but they must shower every time after going to the bathroom in order wear them or else not go to use the restromm at all :P

ummmm....I don't seem to have that problem, but if your with women who do............then I think they need some instruction on good hygiene practice. :-/ :-X
And exactly how OFTEN do you think about thong underwear? :D

Uh-uh.
I don't trust how good other people's hygiene might be on that one. Heck, people need to wash their hands after using the bathroom, so a piece of string right in contact with... uh-uh, I can't... they must shower or else not use the restroom at all.
It's impossible not to think about it since a lot of females use them... except the ones I've dated. Hahaha.

:o :o :o :oWhat i meant is some people think if they use enough tp,it'll protect their habnds from germs and they won't have to wash their hands.I definitely don't use enough paper to clog the toi;let.i domn't flush tampons and pads down the toilet,either--that's a big no no.Cheers!

That's why I always carry hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes in the kids' diaper bags. Hubby thinks I'm overdoing it, but, come on, he's the one who can't even put the seat up! Talk about a rude awakening in the morning >:(

Is there a set of written rules someplace that we guys can get a look at? There are times when we get fussed at for not putting the lid down, and times when we put the lid down and still manage to have screwed up. Help!!! :P

Believe you me, I would much rather have the lid down than the seat up.

Subject: Re: A Sobering Thought
Isn't both seat AND lid down the fairest way to do it? That way, both men and women have to lower and raise it. Beside, it keeps the dogs and cats out of a potentially fascinating water bowl ;D
Subject: Re: A Sobering Thought
Lordy, Lordy, potty talk, potty talk. How An@l... I won't go there ;D
But seriously, at work we have a co-ed room without a lid, just a seat. Why should the guys be expected to put the seat DOWN after using it? More than half the people who use it are men. So I always leave it up (they should be glad I don't take target practice and leave it down). Is this unreasonable? The women think so, and have posted signs on the wall (NOT "for a good time call...") which I ignore. What do you think, especially considering gender equality?
Potty talk potty talk ;D ;D
Subject: Re: A Sobering Thought
I personally think since women are "goddesses" and men shall worship us, y'all need to put the dam seat DOWN when you are finished! Have you ever sat down on the toilet & had your butt get stuck in the bowl & sink in the water? It really bites! >:(
;D
Subject: Re: A Sobering Thought
I always keep the lid down after I flush.
And also I have to wipe myself clean after I urinate.Sorry,I didn't mean to be so graphic. :-[ ;D

Heehee. Well, if EVERYONE puts the lid down everytime, everyone would automatically know they'd have to lift something before using the potty. Wouldn't they?

Ok...I am probably going to lose my card in the women's club here, but I have never understood why women can't just look before they sit. I have sat without looking and fell in once. Ever since I have looked. (Well when there has been a male in the house...with just me and my daughter there isn't a danger). It has never been a big deal to me...I would prefer he leave the seat up and not pee all over the seat.

I would prefer for my husband not pee all over the seat as well, but I would ALSO prefer him to put it back down when he is finished ;)
Subject: Re: A Sobering Thought
All of the males and females in our home are trained to put both lids down. So both sexes have to lift a lid to go potty. And yes, we use a lot of TP in our house, I should buy stock. ::)

I am the same way...I just never understood the whole bruhaha about it getting left up. The first thing I think is why don't you check before you sit?
And, if and when I get married, if my hubbie pees on the seat he had better clean it up...that will be a big blow out. >:(
Subject: Re: A Sobering Thought
Women do look before sitting down, however, when we have to get up in the middle of the night, one eye opened, it is really hard to see-and then you get a rude awaking. :o

Hey!! A man who gets it!! ;D I like the both lids down idea. I think I'll try that one. Unfortunately, don't think it'll work. If I can't get them to lift the seat (or at least wipe it off) don't think I can get them to lower the lid ::)

"Venus envy"? Frued would love this! But how can I count the ways? My best guess is that both genders envy some things about the other. Should we move this thread in a different direction? I'll start. My X nursed all four of my kids, and I offered each one my own (skinny) breast. All four, almost exactly the same, and several times between 1 and maybe 4 weeks, looked up at me as if to say "thanks, turkey, but you got to be kidding". I envy women's power to sustain the lives of those "little ones" who are so precious.
