Bathroom Thoughts
Ever notice that public restrooms sometimes mount the paper towel dispenser so high that the water drips up your arms when you reach for the towel? (Or maybe that is just something that happens to short people…) Some restrooms only have air blowers and they are so weak you finally just wipe your hands on your pants.
Do you agree that you should “Avoid using the handicapped stall unless you are entitled to do so?” I think that is bad advice. The handicapped are perfectly capable of waiting a few minutes for their stall to become available and it is silly to leave a stall vacant when there is a long line of people waiting to use the facilities.
What did you find Mildly Amusing this week?
I love thoughts of a dog. It makes me laugh.I found it mildly amusing that that my own dog would not come to me but galloped to her grandpupparents when they called her.

Something for nothing really only works at Costco when they give out free samples and it’s near lunch time. Unless your husband is with you, and he wants to buy all the products he tries.

I’m trying to imagine how the musician would sell their CD’s. A folded tent card on each table? Regular sales pitches between songs?
