Yachter, shame on you!
Comments (9)jamie, Go right ahead and steal the Tell-Tale Heart idea. I stole it from somewhere else. There's a restaurant chain in my area that's called the Macaroni Grill. They have audio Italian Lessons playing continually in the their bathrooms. After going there (pardon the awful pun), I decided to always try and have a little audio surprise for my guests in the bathroom. Usually it's music. And I usually post the song list up on the mirror. When the Bunco gals are over, I have songs like Nat King Cole's "Chances Are," Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler" and Sinatra's "Luck Be a Lady Tonight." When it's St. Patrick's Day, anything from Bing Crosby's Top O The Morning album or songs by the Irish Rovers will do. One Halloween, I created a song list entitled "Songs That Have Nothing To Do With Halloween, But Sound Like They Should." Among they were ones like Santana's "Black Magic Woman," Johnny Cash's "Ghost RIders in the Sky," and Rosemary Clooney's "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered." It's always great fun to hear the comments as people return from down the hall and rejoin the party. luvstocraft, My granddaughter would love the toilet paper too. But she and her little siblings are not allowed to use the guest bathroom. They have been schooled to use the one in the back bathroom. I probably should put a roll in their bathroom, but the darn stuff is so expensive! A roll will last for about two dinner parties (and I do save it from year to year). Guess I could put the roll in their bathroom when it gets too wound down to put out for a party. Oh, yes, I did paint the buckets. But I fear I have no "style" like you seem to have. Are you for hire???? Or do you give lessons??...See MoreYour Dog or Cat's Sign Of Shame Would Read?
Comments (100)Aww, thanks Cattyles. But, sadly, it's still looking pretty ferocious. I took this pic of it this morning to send to DD as a warning of what to expect. Lucky for me, though, my Bare Minerals (powdered makeup) covers it really well for when I do go out in public. This is this morning before Bare Minerals: But, here I am right after the Bare Minerals makeup. This is before, though, I brush on a tan-ish sculpting powder that takes away some of the bluish-white....See MoreDonating hardly used lingerie, anyone done it or heard of it working?
Comments (25)I've been reluctant to chime in on this, but I will. I am a breast cancer survivor and have had bilateral mastectomies. One breast I had no choice to lose because it would kill me. A year later, I opted to have the other removed for the sake of symmetry. I absolutely hated having to wear a prosthesis because my surgery left no option for reconstruction. And so, over time, I accrued some very expensive bras, camisoles and swimsuits that my medical insurance paid for so I could look "normal" when I wore them. But I decided to live breast free. I donated those "under garments" to a local charity shop and they were gratefully received. As much of a thrift store afficianodo as I am, I would not buy used footwear or panties....See MoreGot to thinking - organ donation
Comments (46)@graywings123 They are hard to watch for sure. I think by putting the videos "out there" families and medical staff hope that they will strike a chord and encourage people to donate. @User Both my daughters have been blood donors since they were the age that they could do so - well almost. Initially one of my daughters resisted due to the regulation at the time that gay men could not donate. Her best friend is a gay male and he was no more "promiscuous" than any of her straight friends. I had a chat with her and told her that while I admired her standing up for her friend that way, she could still donate blood but be a voice for change. She took that to heart and wrote letters to the powers that be and gave blood while she waited for changes to be made. In 2022 the Red Cross changed their policy and now questions all genders on their sexual activity. I am in no way saying that my daughter was responsible for the change. She was just one of many voices....See MoreUser
