Well I'm still going strong too. LOL…..old age hasn't impaired me, nope, my mind is just fine, thank you very much!..........its just that I have been very busy lately, that I haven't been paying as much attention to little things as I should! At least, that is the excuse I have tried on my family of late, but I don't think they are totally convinced.

After a couple of cups of coffee, I spent way too long in a large building supply store the other evening and was beginning to get very uncomfortable. After a somewhat frantic search, I was so pleased to find an unusually spotless, large empty restroom. As I dropped my pants and looked around the cubicle, for somewhere to put my purse, I carefully hovered my backside over the toilet. It was with considerable relief that I congratulated myself on having made it there, in time, without the tiniest of leaks.

As I pulled up my slacks, I thought, "Oh, oh...... that doesn't feel quite right....a bit too warm for something that has been around my ankles on the cold tile floor..... I turned and looked down and saw a great flood, in my cubicle that was now flowing out under the surrounding partitions and, oh dear….. what's that? a toilet seat lid?.......in the down position…. in my rush, I'd friggin' pissed on the closed lid. LOL

I looked around for paper towels to mop up, only to discover blow dryers and a quick clean up futile, so I pulled my coat down over my now cold and clammy slacks, beat a hasty retreat and hustled my somewhat confused husband out of the store and then broke down in tears of laughter in the parking lot.

A few nights later we went out for dinner and at the end of the evening I paid a quick visit to the ladies room….and I friggin did it again! Fer keeriist sake! When did they start putting lids on public toilets? Twice in less than a week! Fortunately, I was somewhat paying attention to the sound this time and somehow managed a quick mid flow stop, that even I would have been proud of, had I been providing a urine sample.

Now I can't even make a trip to the bathroom at home without some adverse comment from my husband, like, well at least I haven't removed the lids from our toilets yet. And….I'll never bitch that some insensitive male has left the toilet seat up. Yes… the indignities of old age….LOL
