On the topic of All Gender Washrooms

I am not quite sure why the all gender part is necessary.

I mean Washroom is washroom, bathroom is bathroom. Toilet is Toilet
...is it not?

Sure some places separate them: Mens washroom and Womens washroom.
Some do not - they have a sign of a little stick man and stick lady.
The universal sign without words.
They can even have a toilet picture.
That still makes sense.

But to write All gender? In English of course. Thats not a universal sign.

I understand being inclusive to all, but a simple picture of a toilet will do.

All gender, to me emphasizes Political correctness. Because I guess I should be thinking about Political correctness while I take my #1 and #2 right ? right? I should be sitting there thinking about it.

I understand the political correctness is done specifically for the LGBT group. Who may or may not be feeling excluded when they are using the facilities? If so, and if this makes them feel more accepted then it is great. Personally, I've been in places where there are neutral bathrooms or even when there are separate mens and womens bathrooms and there are line ups ---- if I have to go, I have to go, no matter what it is labelled - the only offense I would feel is if it was filthy. I'm just pretty grateful there was a place to go (I've had to in the bushes when hiking and was swarmed by mosquitos - not fun) (but thats just me).

However, I do not think that a simple picture of a toilet will exclude them. In fact, it only is politically correct for the LGBT group that speak and read english. So if you are trying to be inclusive of all, that is definately excluding the non-english reading LGBT groups.

Ahhhh this is all so complicated.

When really it shouldnt be.

So to all this, I would say, if you are going to the extent put all gender on a bathroom sign, then make it all gender.....
I'd like to see a bidet, a urinal AND a toilet  (and sink) up in there!
Cause if there is just a toilet (and sink), then isn't it simply just a washroom/ bathroom?

Aquaholic

This is Marjory.

In the week that I've known her, I'm beginning to realize that she is an

Aquaholic.

If she doesn't get her daily fix, she is not herself, she begins to shrivel and it becomes quite obvious to everyone. 

As she requires daily attention, I need to devise a plan for when I'm away....

smiley eyes

add this term to Jossipedia.

Eyes that smile just on their own. Without the need of an actual smile by the lips or expressions with the eyebrows. To test for it: just focus on the eyes, you can even hold your hand to block over the nose and mouth, so not to be distracted, and the eyes alone will look like the person is smiling at you. OR even just have the person go into Resting Neutral Face, and their eyes will still appear to be smiling.

Good gawd.

How many more must I murder?

I was so excited to finally see this:

Many patient weeks of trying to propagate Big Bubba's leaves.....

See the tiny growth!! I thought I may have finally broken my killer reputation.

So lately I've been taking more leaves off the long stem of Big Bubba.

Today, as I pulled a leaf off, this happened:

Yep. Single handedly DECAPITAED him!!!!

Wtf? 

I'm beginning to believe not only do I NOT have a green thumb, but these thumbs maybe even be RED instead..... You know, for MURDER.

Rest assured I hope these many body parts of Big Bubba will act like they say succulent parts will act and continue to propagate. 

I planted his head in another pot.

Ok. There. It's done. Darn it.

Whole universe

Is it possible to talk to someone so much that you get to a point where you talked about absolutely everything in the whole universe and you have nothing left to say and thus, are forced to resort to sitting in silence? 

Easy Peasy

"Thats what makes life interesting"
"life is never boring"
"it is the journey not the destination"
"its the experiences that shape you"
"the curves in the road prepare you for where you are meant to be"
"it is never a straight path"
"if it wasnt for that, then I would be a different person"
"the difficulties made me a better person"
"nothing worth having comes easy"

I get it.
But to all that I say.....

YADA YADA YADA

for once I would like a break,

for there to be a perfectly smoothe straight line from point A to B.

Falling.

Scary feeling huh.
That feeling of lack of control, maybe uncertainty or the certainty of pending injury.
And it happens often instantly, without warning.

In other circumstances, it is scary because, when you realize you are falling that is the instant you give up some confidence, and become overwhelmingly vulnerable.... because you are actually giving that person the option of breaking your heart.

friend zone and falling ....

Gals view on the friend zone.
I think guys seem to worry about this more than gals.
I can see why. But I think I figured it out on my end.
There are all these things that tell guys how to not fall in that zone or prevent it.
I believe you cant prevent it.
If that is where you belong, you will eventually go there.
Sorry.
Sounds like a helpless situation?
No.
This also means, if you aren't meant for the friend zone, you will never end up there either.
Once in the zone you cant prevent it you cant turn back and you cant change their mind.
But if you are headed toward more than a friend, then you cant change that either.
Anyhow.......


Falling.
When you find yourself falling for someone, sometimes I think you just cant prevent that.
Kinda scary especially if you are with someone else.
But still scary because the instant you notice  you are, you suddenly feel less confidant, more vulnerable. You are almost saying you are giving them the  option of actually breaking your heart.

A strange thing, this thing called Happiness...

For an instant, I recognized it again.

Chasing Butterflies

What keeps me alive and kills me at the same time.

Ouchies!

Burpies.

Thats not my usual-ate-too-much-carbs-and-dairy-tummy-upset- burpies.

Man, at this age, thats killer. Especially for someone who likes fun activities to stay fit like: blading in the sunshine with my tunes, skating with my girly skates, biking in my dress imagining I'm in France with a basket of flowers or baguettes (no basket just imaginary) , skiing with all my gear to stay toasty warm taking in the beauty of the slopes, prancing around in squash trying to strategize every corner of the court..... instead of just straight up killer work outs that make you want to barf up your Pesto pasta dinner.

But... this time its kinda fun when it is mixed with anger ahaha!!! These guys are great, they scare the crap out of me and I'm sure I look like a deer in the headlights, and no one wants to partner up with tiny ol' me, and I'm not even sure I can be good at it.... but tonight was a good night.

Hope my body will take this..... maybe I should go back to Moksha Yoga to balance this craziness out. Ohmmm...

Dang it.

I'd like to scream.

Instead, I'll eat this 200g bag of Smart food

Like Cookie Monster eats cookies.

That profile lasted less than 24 hrs. I'll try again later.

Caffe con leche

Ah that sounds so pretty.

I'm not a coffee person, maybe more of a tea person (as this is named after my fav tea). If I do have coffee, I like it like my Hagen daas coffee ice cream... Sweet, not bitter.

The only coffee I really liked was surprisingly in Costa Rica. Not because I got to say caffe con leche after ordering my heuvos fritas all the time, but because it was rich, not bitter, not watered down. I didn't even have to use much sugar. And they give you hot milk to out into it, not the frothy airy stuff they have here to make all those useless (though cool) designs to decorate it with.

Haven't found the same anywhere else so far.

Plus, I don't even reap the benefits of coffee anyways...I used to munch on coffee beans in attempt to help with my all-nighters during university, but I still fell asleep. (Either that, or homework just puts me to sleep).  And my teeth are still nice and white. So all in all, it's a good thing I'm not addicted to coffee.

But that may all change...today I tried this:

Straight from Kona, the big beautiful island in Hawaii. Apparently known for their coffee I've been told. This also has the wonderful flavor of vanilla and macadamia nuts. Pretty nice ! And the best part - not bitter of course! 

Ok... Well it was actually bought from Winners...(said the lady who brought it to my folks place).

But still, it's yummy!!!

So I'm Posting it here to remind myself.
