When I was pregnant and spending half of my work day urinating, I noticed how many people would chat on their phone or better yet, try to make conversation with me in the restroom. I don’t want to hear about the results of your pap smear. I’m not interested in talking about the client who ended up in the hospital for trying to overdose on Zyprexa. I just wanted some peace.

Kids weren’t taught to read or spell at 5 back in my day. It was all finger paints and singing.

Teaching kids to read and write in kindergarten is standard now. Some researchers are concerned that this is too young of an age for a great number of kids, especially boys.

May I suggest you get tested for Celiac? I only say this because my own doctor found the 9 out of 10 patients of his who was diagnosed with IBS, he found actually had Celiac instead. You probably won’t see this, but hopefully you will OR you already was tested and they didn’t find Celiac.

At my old house, my bathroom was 12×12 — huge! We had a TV in there on a dresser. And because the house was old, the pipes were old as well, so it took a long time to run a bath (no shower). sometimes that meant taking a plate of food with me — or just a sandwich — while I waited for the water to get to the right temp and level. FTR: My bathroom was *immaculate* (two years as a hotel maid in high school taught me well).

A friend found this out and was disgusted: “You EAT in your BATHROOM?”

Me: “Your cats’ litter box sits in the middle of your kitchen floor, up against the stove. You don’t think that’s worse?”

I like to read so I DON”T think about it! It lets me relax and allow nature to do it’s business without me rushing (or straining!) cos I’m bored. (yeah I have a low boredom threshold, hence why I take reading material everywhere)

I suppose it depends on if you’re the screwer or the screwee.

My 10-year-old has taken to bringing his Kindle into the bathroom where he places it on the floor and leans over to read while he takes care of business. Now, I’ve cleaned that floor…I know what happens to the floor at the base of a toilet used by two little boys, and I certainly wouldn’t want to borrow his Kindle after witnessing that little ritual.

What makes you think the reason they were in there for such a long time was the magazine? If you’re implying that you’ve never had a stomachache, then I’m very envious of your hardy digestive system. Many of us aren’t so lucky.

On the toilet and right before eating a meal are two times when a person should *not* think to make a phone call. I don’t want to hear it going in or coming back out.

I waited ten minutes outside of a restroom because I wanted to use it before heading home, and when the person finally came out they had a magazine in hand. The genius move on their part is enhanced by the fact that everybody has to share that single toilet.

When my brother was a teenager, he piled up his plate with dinner one night and then made a beeline toward the toilet, plate in hand.

He later admitted that it was a pretty bad idea.

My boyfriend takes the laptop, Kindle, and Nintendo DS into the bathroom. Maybe he’s trying to tell me that he doesn’t want me using his stuff anymore. All that I’ve learned is that I have a higher tolerance for urine and fecal matter than I had previously realized.

I’ve learned to get out of the bathroom in a minute or less. Sitting on that toilet can give you big problems.
