Scandals

This one goes out to Tanya who was looking for a juicy blog filled with scandals...I think that these new "environmental" toilets are a scandal. Why you ask....well I'll tell you why. They are suppose to be good for reducing the amount of water used each flush with a choice of flushing capacities for liquids or solids (up for liquids, down for solids). The problem is that with the "liquid" flush 95% of the time you are left with remnants. How when it's liquids you are flushing? The darn toilet paper doesn't go. What courteous person wants to leave their toilet paper remnants in the bowl for the next person who thinks "that darn person who left as I came in never flushed and probably didn't even wash". So really these so called "environmental" toilet systems are a socially constructed hate machine that make you think you are using less water but really they are teaching you to think that no one is flushing or washing their hands. Case in point is that now all of our new "environmentally friendly washrooms" in our green building now have hand washing instructions taped to the wall right beside the sink. Maybe a better reminder would be on the back of the door so that when those non-flusher/washers go to leave they are reminded to wash!

So that environmental flush turns into 2 or 3 tries and I don't think that it is really using less water than a normal regular run of the mill toilet. Back to the drawing board boys cause it isn't working.

How's that for scandalous!

Dear Katie,
I agree I think these toilets are CRAP! (pun intended) ha,ha! Personally I have not ever seen these toilets, but Laura has so it as good as me seeing it.

I have a scandal for you though. Laura is now spiritually dead and will live eternally with my spiritually dead husband. the end.
Loves, Mishel

Dear Katie,
I just wanted you not to be too concerned with my last comment. They are NOT running away together, I repeat NOT...okay they just have each in their own lives chosen to partake of sinful drink therefore compromising their eternal progression. huh. okay I'm done now.
Loves again, Mishel
p.s. what the heck is wayloque?

Dearest Katie,
I was going to thank Mishel for clarifying the first comment. BUT then she had to go and make it more scandalous. So I will clarify. The so called "sinful drink" is merely Dr. Pepper. I know...caffine but it is only in awhile and maybe she will be joining us in this "spiritually deadness" for judging us so unfairly. I will stop drinking but will she stop judging? That is the question or should I say the SCANDAL?
Love ya,
Laura :)
ps: what the heck is etuarac?
