Heh. Lee Scratch Perry and the Upsetters and some fat loads of Gorilla Glue #1. TPS reports can wait.

But why? So you can admire your stream that is split in two, (Mazeltov!) and now is going behind the bowl?

I am curious why you guys all seem to be pissing in the dark.

Honestly the bathroom light is blinding in the middle of the night and my pee stream sound wakes the wife. Then it takes me 20 minutes to fall back asleep.

Or

Sit quiet in the dark half asleep and stumble back to bed works best for me.

Getting the bathroom redone was the best thing ever. We have the bright ass vanity lights, and some can lights that are on a dimmer. We leave that dimmer switch set super low for nighttime trips, and use the vanity the rest of the time. But I don't wake up to pee, it's just for when I'm coming in for bed and the Mrs. has already gone to sleep.

Back on point, I've been completely done with small gas engines for a long time. Lawn mowers, weed wackers, chainsaws, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, etc. Anything with a pull start. Their electric cousin can get the job done, a bit slower, but with 95% less bullshit and no maintenance. And if it can't get it done with that, I shouldn't be doing it.

I'm of the age where I've returned to using plug in night lights. You can buy ones that have sensors and give off enough light so you don't fumble around but aren't bright enough to blind you.

Apparently, fucking around with the Maytag refrigerator drain pan that decided to start leaking today. Repair guy told me it would run about $100 to diagnose/fix because the internal layout of those fridges is "cattywampus" (which I'd already gathered from Google), I was like "how soon can you get here?"

Back on topic, I can't do a dog anymore, their passing just destroys me, but I decided that over 20 years ago.

And after I tore my acl 22 years ago, I quit skiing fast and doing cliffs higher than 15 feet or so.

Yes, it sucks to get old and especially recognize devolving and not skiing as wild and well as I used to. The health scares suck.

Or take drugs or orgy or river or canyon or do any of that stupid but supremely fun stuff.

It's all OK, just shoot me if I shit on the kids fun nowadays, the shit the flippy spinny or gnarwad extremo stuff, is just fucking awesome. But I still have lots to look forward to, doing my stupid Euro traverses and skiing with the folks who I enjoy.

What if we facilitate mild orgies at the Maggot assisted living facility?

With a little 2-5 dimethoxy 4-bromophenethylamine, it might be as good as Reed.

thread devolves to how you get ur wee into the bowl!

ftr/tmi - my appendage? Has been hanging off me pretty much in the same place for awhile. Kinda have it zeroed after all this time. Even in the dark of night. Aimed at the bowl and then micro-adjusted to the porcelain edge to deafen any noise.

like 40% of all german males squat to pee - 100% of the transvestites.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucele...-10-americans/

the real test of being old is do you still put ur socks on standing up?

When time comes i can't... may a fortunate accident happen

ETA: ive been known to dry myself with a square or 2 of tp and then circle the bowl rim of splatter.

A 3fold kindness to the fairer sex; 1 The bowl - leave no trace; 2 no big shake that sends ur shiite everywhere and 3 I dont dribble all over your leg on re-entry

Don't forget the Real Estate that Annoys You

And yes, I still put on my socks standing up but it is becoming a notable chore, almost enough to be listed in this august thread.

The bidet toilet seat has a nice dim purple light aimed into the bowl. Perfect for night peeing.
The time to worry is when you reach for your dick in the dark and miss.

what should the word art be in this room?

”every orgy has a beautiful story, but our orgy is my favorite”

“bless this messy little orgy”

”donut worry just orgy”

”call 911 if you think someone is having a stroke”

Okay, I guess I never have to be honest.

P.S. if turning on a light at night blinds you it may be time for cataract surgery.

I'm so old that sometimes when I pass them on the right, I don't even have time to merge left before some asshole is already on my ass to move over.

Fucking give me a minute over here. I'm old! Let me check my mirrors.

Get off my lawn! Or-- Get out of my lane!

I'm fucking trying.

Especially difficult because you're on the wrong side of the road.
