Hurray for not coughing up blood anymore! Still hacking up whole lungs but it would appear I'm on the mend, and without medical attention. Take that, Obamacare. *flip*

Chryenth

That sounds like voyria to me. Sip immunity, stat!

I'm so tired but it's a good tired for once. The new computers finally arrived for the office.

I cleaned the office like a germophobe in a frenzy and thus, everything is sparkling. On a side note, I'm really baffled about how some men just seem incapable of directing a stream of urine into a toilet bowl. Cleaning up urine because someone is a lazy - is definitely not in my job description.

I bought new cupboards to help with storage and free up space, and only had to wheel them down to the office from the second hand store two shops away. They're good as new and so spacious! I spied a porcelain boot while in the second hand store and decided that's what I am going to collect. I found one in Victoria while visiting my grandparents a few years ago and was immediately smitten with how delicate and lovely the design was. I ought to take photos.

It's Wednesday and there's cottage pie for lunch at the diner. Yay!

Cooper

The problem isn't directing the stream of urine. It's preventing the splash back. I don't see how women still fail to understand that.

Kyrra

@Cooper, you're seriously telling me that urine can splash back outside of the toilet bowl and onto the floor? And it's such a natural and acceptable occurance that it's perfectly fine to just leave it there instead of cleaning up after yourself?

I can get a hose with a full pressure stream of water and fill up buckets of water for my animals at home without any sort of splash back. Because I can aim into the middle of a bucket. A bucket, which is half the size and diameter of a toilet bowl.

@Cooper easy solution - sit down to pee.

Silas

That's called treating yourself.

It can, though generally not in large quantities. While it will probably further exaggerate my forum reputation, I admit to having actually tested this. Not that it excuses not cleaning up after yourself.

Making messes like that definitely isn't exclusive to men though. I've had to clean up after women who somehow managed to be just as horrible.

I have literally no idea which reaction this post deserves.

Yes, it seriously does. And you don't always notice it either, because the bowl is white and most of the time my pee is clear. When the water part evaporates is when the yellow starts to show even more

Kyrra

@Sena is awesome. Thank you for explaining.

Heading out on a 3 week trip to Asia.  Will be in Shanghai, Hangzhoi, Hong Kong, Macau and possibly Bangkok.

Waffles are so awesome.

Kyrra

Waffles are amazing.

Athorem

I hope nobody brings up pancakes and starts the old waffle/pancake war. Actually, I kinda do, because then I get an excuse to emphasize on the obvious superiority of waffles.

Then there's the assholes that stand at urinals and text with both hands. I walked past a guy doing that at work, and there's always piss on the ground after he's in the bathroom and it pisses(lol) me off, so I kicked a stall door into the wall with a 'BANG' and not only did he drop his phone in the urinal, his shirt fell down and he ended up soaking it, not having any hands to aim with and hold the shirt.

YOU MONSTER

Katzchen

Raining, and thunder that is shaking the house. Love it!

Erasariel

I LOVE pancakes

I like waffles too, but they come at a very close second.

Yes, I said that right. Come at me bro.

(That said, garlic bread still is the superior bread, the bread above all else.)

Sena

Waffles and pancakes are basically the same thing.

Cooper

Not even close!

I used to believe that until I had waffles in Sweden once.

On a somewhat related note: I made Crêpes suzette for the first time recently, and they were amazing.

Kyrra

That's like comparing a flash sports car with whatever my 80 year old grandmother drives on the basis of them both being vehicles.

Waffles are superior to pancakes in every conceivable way, and I have a waffle maker in the cupboard that gives me heart shaped waffles of perfection.

Iocun

Pffh, waffle makers... I make waffles on the stove with a waffle iron made of cast iron that's probably 100 years old, and that works just as well, or even better. Once that thing is hot, it stays hot and makes those waffles in no time.

Tahquil

Waffle/pancake arguments are as stupid as apple/oranges ones. Both are awesome in different ways and (for me anyway) I've never had to go "Hmm, should I have waffles or pancakes?" it's always been distinctly one or the other.
