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.

One step forward two steps back
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.
