What really ticks me off is when a perfectly good thread is hijacked by somebody with a private agenda who just can't shut up about it. Which brings us to the topic of toilet seats. I mean, here we have a country in which you can buy $200 tennis shoes personally molded to every wart and bunion on your unwashed, toe-jam-encrusted feat but you can buy what, maybe two sized of toilet seat? What if your butt doesn't fit them? We aren't all built like fashion models, you know, and when you're sitting there reading the latest Soap Opera Digest and your feet are falling asleep because you're constipated as all git out from eating that extra-cheese pizza for dinner the previous evening, well, wouldn't you figure a decent custom toilet seat would at least allow you to stand up to reach the reading light? But no. We get two options - round and oval, and if the one doesn't make a lifesaver-size mark in yer tookus the other one will let little kids tumble in and then the parents sue you for having an attractive nuisance in yer bathroom when you flush the thing with them still trapped in there because you couldn't find your glasses.
That's what bugs me. Thanks for allowing me to get it off my chest.
Soap Opera Digest Since you brought it up:
About 30 years ago when I was working a late shift, I started watching a soap in the afternoons when I didn't have anything better to do. One of the females on the show had a baby boy. a couple of days later I was put on the day shift and was unable to watch the soap.
After about one month on days I went back on the night shift and started watching again and to my utter amazement, the kid who was only born a month earlier was now 14 years old. One of the characters had discovered a long lost identical twin and 2 characters had developed total amnesia.
I haven't watched a soap since.
But I'm glad the topic came up.
And speaking of legumes, I eat my peas with honey, I've done so all my life, it makes the peas taste funny but it keeps them on my knife.
