>Well, there is never going to be a solution to this problem as the

But seriously ...

You are correct that there's no one-size-fits-all solution, but there
is a very good general case solution.

It involves such things as a trip to the real world, a careful reading
of time, place, and circumstance, and ...

Above all, consideration of others. Others, meaning other t*'s, SO's,
gg's, children, families, tourists, bystanders, anybody, everybody.

At DLV 2004 we had no significant restroom incidents. This wasn't just
luck.

Our people used common sense, consideration, and restraint, didn't
flaunt it, and used restrooms properly when they indeed had to do so.

This was no burden on 95+% of our people.

Of course for the remaining "me-me-me" and "who, me?" types, we had our
hired F to M goons "Guido" and "Lefty" standing by to invite them into
the back room for a "chat" if necessary, but we didn't have to call them
in. :) :)

Yes, some people rolled their eyes and exclaimed "what is this $#!+?"
when we started emphasizing behavior, dress, and restroom issues. Yes,
it was also observed that some of those who professed not to need it
were the ones who needed it the most.

However, the emphasis on B/D/R was effective. We had a very enjoyable
and incident-free DLV 2004.

I agree with what is being said about not to stand, but I thought I'd
mention some observations which some may not know...

This may not be a trend on the 48 continuous states... but here in
Hawaii, we have alot of tourist traffic from the 48 states, Canada, and
the Pacific Basin, inc Philipines, Taiwan, Japan,etc

Its also causing the women's restroom to get quite filthy.... resulting
in... and this is according to several gg's I know.... ggs are now
standing... over the commode to pee. Esp in many public resturants in
tourist areas like Waikiki.

They gotta position their legs and back just right to get the aim into
the toilet. Alot of them miss and hit the back and sides of the toilet
and stall, splashing urine all over, trying to avoid splashing it on
their own legs. Some of my gg friends say that the spray is evidenced in
wet spots on the toilet paper.. and all over the toilet, and on the
floor around it.

This happens because the commodes are already quite filthy already,
usually covered with urine from a previous gg visitor that got it
initially filthy by standing rather than sitting.

Also add asian tourist that don't understand 'western' toilets, and
actually squat on it to do #1 or #2, leaving the seat more filthy with
their shoe prints of the floor... and while sqatting on the commode,
their aim can also miss the rim of the toilet...and it gets on the
floor.

gross....

The ggs tend to either remove their panties or shorts or pants or
whatever to do this, so as not to have to sit on a already filthy
toilet. Add to that the stalls reek with the urine smell, that stained
the floors and fixtures.

Many also don't flush and many leave their used 'pads' in the toilet so
the water is red with blood and spotted with blood clots... some mixed
in with #2

gross...

This is not to defend the concept of 'standing' but ... an interesting
observation of the changing times...

[deletia - eeeeewwwww, like 144 to the max, ya know]

Have you ever seen a female urinal, as in one that is supposed to be
used that way?

Back in the 70's there was talk of these, but nobody had ever seen one
in real life. However, I stumbled into one (actually a whole line of
them) in the Pershing Auditorium in Lincoln, NE, either late 70's or
early 80's. I haven't seen one since.

It kind of looks like a regular hopper, but has an extended trough from
the forward part of the bowl. A bit of Googling brought up this image:

This is just like the ones I remember seeing, except the ones I saw had
more of a squared-off front to the trough.

It seems as though Michael's appartment building caught fire last night.
He is OK. Click the link for a picture of him.

Hi.

The Whizzy4you web site reminded me of this high class clothing store
which might be worth a glance too.
