You need to move to Holland. My aunt was stunned to see that wee didn't have little shelves inside our toilet bowls for the poop to land on. Apparently they do in Holland so you can examine your BM for blood or signs of colon cancer and bowel problems. When you flush, it is swept away. And yes, that was a dinner conversation topic.
I am not still traumatized by what happened at the dinner table one night at a entire family function, when my Mother announced to all, aunts, uncles, cousins (some of them were/are BOYS!!!)
That I had attained womanhood and had started my period.
I remember the hot flash of total embarrassment, so much so I think I crawled under the table.
The whole famalia toasted me (now hiding under the table) to my new womanhood, raising their glasses of paisan...CLINK!!!
The same thing happened a few weeks earlier when I got my first bra~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mind you, I am the oldest, and this never happened to any of my 4 siblings, a sister & 2 brothers (the messiahs) were last.
Mom & family learned that some things are best whispered......not announced & toasted in present.
I bet T-Hi has similar things happen growing up in her Italian family.
NOTE: Dad is a Scot, full blood, Mom is full Italian, and I am the only child of 4 that is blonde & green eyed, all the rest were brown/brown.
My heritage resembles the holiday at the moment.
Sounds like you are from my family! I had a slumber party when I was in 7th grade and one of my friend's mom's told my mother why her daughter wouldn't be swimming. Mom announced it at the BBQ we had that evening, and of course my older brother was there with some of his friends who were over to check out some of my friends! I made up my mind right then that I woulf NEVER tell my mother when that time came for me, and I never have! Of course mom left me in the dark about the entire thing anyways. I remember the nurse in 5th grade, after "The Talk" with boys in one room and girls in another. After a week of special classes she asked if anyone had started. I raised my hand and shouted out that when I was 5 I borrowed my brothers bicycle and fell really hard against the bar. I can still see the look on the poor nurse's face!
....and the bra. I asked my mom for one in 7th grade because I was embarassed to be the only girl in the locker room without one. Mom announced that at the dinner table as well "You know what she asked me for last night? A BRA!!! I mean whatever for? She's as flat as the Great Plateau!" I was mortified. My best friend was having dinner with us then, and felt so bad for me she gave me her bras she'd outgrown. This gal could smother herself doing a hand-stand in the 5th grade, even now I doubt they'd fit!

Sunshine is to my bald head as kryptonite is to superman. Made the mistake of stopping to talk to neighbor while I was headed out to tend bees and didn't have a hat on. Bout red as a tomater on top now.
I gained another complete Hive today Did a little trading and will be getting a hive with bees and all.
So I have gone from struggling to get my first hive last year to having 5 now. There may be a chance I will be able to sell a couple hives next year.

How COOL is that? True talent!
I'm very sure that you are just sick and tired of living on the dry, sunnier side of the state and long to enjoy the grey skied, mold infested, NO-SEE-UM ravaged side of the state! Right!
I lived in Oly/Lacy as a very young boy. I think I could get used to the rain and the bugs, but my impression is that there are just too many people over there, and most of them are democrats
That was a joke, mostly .. LOL I should hush. I guess I just plain think it is too crowded on that side of the mtns. I really like it here in Yakima, and one of the reasons is that nothing in the state is really that far away from me. Seattle is 2.5 hrs. Spokane and Portland about 3.5. Even Bellingham is only 4 hrs, and we'd end up taking HW 2 which is an hr longer. The DW and I love to take drives over the mtns and we love to see new parts of the country/state. So my delivery fee is; we split the fuel.
You all have been real kind with your complements on my work. Thanks

Hi. Nice to see you. We had one at the end of May. It was a nice smaller turnout. We could try setting something for June. Any thoughts?
The company I work for has offices in both Yakima and Bellevue. I could, ahem - work - out of the Bellevue office on the day of said gathering ....

I gave Alex a hand-crank ice-cream maker. I figure if he's gonna eat it, he'll have to burn it off first!
