Peeing In Shower Ad

[adstrinity]

1. I’ve heard 9 feet. Fecal matter on tooth brushes as far as 9 feet away. I suppose somebody should pee on it to clean it off, huh.
2. EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW.
3. EW
4. What about a plastic bag in a small garbage can? Grab the can, toss out the bag.
5. I know there are some Indians who drink cow urine.
6. During the first Gulf War, the newspaper printed something about Saudi Arabia and such. It said that the women there would wash their hair in cammel urine.
7. I’m perfectly fine with some blood. I eat raw beef. Chicken, Turkey, Lamb, Pork – I’m a bit more cautious.
8. And, also, EW.

I wonder if there is some stuff you can spray in your shower so that it reacts with the pee, so it would leave dye marks. I read once that in Japan they invented socks that changed color if they were taken off the feet. This was a way to catch cheating spouses I think.

That is funny! Yesterday I was listening to a local radio morning program, and they were discussing why most men did not remove their socks before the lovin’. So, if that is also true in Japan, I am not sure how effective that would be in catching cheaters…

I remember the stuff they had us chew in elementary school to show us poorly we brushed our teeth. We had to brush, chew this horrible red tablet, and look in the mirror to see where the red was. That was where we did not brush. Ick.

See, the RAW BEEF is a major EWWWW for me. Yuck. Meat must be thoroughly cooked.

About the washing hair thing…this is off topic, but it’s been rumbling around in the back of my mind for the past week…

Last week I bought some shampoo…a cheap brand, cuz we go through it so fast, and IMO, the cheap stuff works just as well as the more expensive stuff. So anyway, this very nice, chatty woman checked me out as I was purchasing 10 bottles of the stuff on sale. She was Muslim based on the way she was dressed, complete with the full headcovering and everything. She commented on how she felt the cheap stuff worked so well, and how she just did not believe all the hype about “more volume, shinier, silkier, more curls, etc.” that many expensive name brands claim. She was very nice and very funny in her commentary. But the whole time, I’m thinking, “Your hair is covered 24/7…of COURSE you don’t care about curls, volume, shine, silkier…” Heck, she wouldn’t even have to wash it daily if she didn’t want to…no one sees it!!

Ahh, my friend you forget one detail.

Her husband can see it all, and she can do whatever she wants in his presence only!
You KWIM?

So, she MAY care what he thinks, since he well… may be the only one to see it.

Speaking of not caring about grooming habits, did anyone realize how disgusting napoleon was about Josephine? He wanted her NOT to bathe!!! UGGG.
He liked the B.O.

Ahh, the memories. Yep. remember it, but wish I did not.

This thread reminds me of a day when we were planning the Holy Thursday Mass and Fr. asked if anyone had a bowl large enough for washing feet. One woman said, “Well, I can lend you the one I use for making bread.” Now for me THAT was a EW, EW, EW moment. She said “WHAT?? It can be sterilized afterwards.” “Yes,” says I, “so can a bedpan but I don’t want to be served dinner in one.”

I know full well that a bedpan can go though the autoclave and come out cleaner than the plates that are sitting in my cupboard (which, though clean, are not sterile). But I’d gag if I were served soup in a sterilized bedpan or emesis basin.

It’s all about perspective. For me, peeing in the shower is no biggie. I know urine is sterile, under normal conditions, and considering we’re washing our dirty bodies there, why would sterile urine be gross? It’s cleaner than what normally goes down the shower.

When it comes to the kitchen, I want a clean dish rag every day. I wash my dishrags & dishtowels separately in hot water with soap and bleach. Because I can’t sterilize my sink, I don’t wash dishes directly in it, I use a dishpan which gets run though the dishwasher regularly. And if by some happenstance someone uses the dishpan for other than its intended purpose (washing dishes) it gets tossed in the garbage or set aside for non-kitchen use and I buy a new one.

My wife is like this. When I operate in the kitchen in an effort to hold up my end of the bargain, I must play by her rules. She’s not OCD about it (the way I apparently am about a few things) but she knows what’s right in terms of kitchen hygiene.

Ever wish you could “unread” something?

Yeah!!!

You can use my shower anytime. I know you won’t commit a heresy in it.

LOL!!! OMYGOSH - I nearly spit out my lunch!!! HAHAHA

I just read this fun fact on wikipedia “The ancient Romans used urine as a bleaching agent for cleaning clothes and teeth.” Glad we’re not in ancient Rome huh?

I believe urine was used for bleaching and tanning hides. Or have I been reading too many Earth’s Children books.

I remember the stuff they had us chew in elementary school to show us poorly we brushed our teeth. We had to brush, chew this horrible red tablet, and look in the mirror to see where the red was. That was where we did not brush. Ick.

Disclosing tablets! I love those!! They have a mouth wash for kids now that does the same thing.

This thread is just hilarious!!!

This weekend I’ve got it all - peeing in the shower here on CA, and a gay marriage war on my Facebook page.

I think the best way to sum this up is “To each his own.” Everyone has their own standards for cleanliness and hygiene that they can live with. We’re all still alive to talk about them. We all have an immune system that (presumably) is protecting us from all of these microscopic fleks of this and that… I think our body is equipped to do just that. So it’s really a matter of personal preference, and in this particular area, i would stress the word “personal.” Let’s face it… bathroom habits are not a topic of daily discussion, and for good reason. What I don’t know about other’s bathroom habits won’t hurt me. If I’m a guest in someone’s home and need to use the shower, I wouldn’t ask questions… I would just be greatful for the use of a shower.

Apparently good ol’ Napoleon would send a missive to Josephine “I’ll be home in 4 days, don’t wash.”

It’s funny, the same type of preference came up in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. In the first book Jaime wanted to smell the real Claire, not perfume, not soap, just her. She was revolted by the idea since she hadn’t bathe in a few days.

I agree totally.

I have been in people’s homes where I have been afraid to touch anything out of fear of messing up the museum-like appearance. I have been chastised for using the “wrong” bathroom towels when drying my hands (seriously, I have).
And then I have been in people’s homes where I have been afraid to touch anything out of fear of catching something, because it looked like nothing had seen a scrub brush or a wash rag in months.

I am somewhere in the middle. I do not live in a museum, but things are reasonably clean. I vacuum floors, and wash down sinks, counters, and floors regularly, and scoop litter boxes daily. We are all healthy and happy (except for DH, who admires the museums, but admits they are impractical with 3 teenagers and 7 indoor pets).

There’s a lot of people on this thread who wouldn’t last five minutes in the military…

There’s a lot of people on this thread who didn’t JOIN the all volunteer military EXACTLY for that reason.

Oh, the irony of life…

So my 17 YO urgently calls out to me tonight, “MOM, COME QUICK. NOW!!” (Why is it always Mom, never Dad, for these things?)

DS had been in the bathroom doing his business, flushed, and the toilet overflowed…all over the bathroom floor and out into our entryway hallway. Poop. All over. In the toilet water. . (at least it wasn’t diarhea or anything like that).

So…1 hour later, several buckets of bleach water, and a good plunging, the toilet is back in working order and the bathroom and entryway floors are sparkling clean again.

(Meanwhile, DH has been upstairs watching a movie or something, and comes down just after I finish cleaning everything and asks, “So, since you are not doing anything, do you want to make me some dessert, a cake, ice cream, or something?” He had NO IDEA of what had just transpired over the last hour.

He would have gotten a face full of poo plunger if it were me. I was almost ready to be disgusted, but, I’m too Peed off to be sickened.

Aww, a parent’s love is ceaseless.

Catholic90,

I am glad this happened in a small way. Because, you can always remind him of that not so hallmark moment when he calls you up one day, after having to do the very same thing himself, for his child!

And, I do hope he does actually remember it and bring you some dessert.

Moms are the very best in the world I think.

R U kiddin’ me? You just looked up urine on wikepedia?

I wonder if there is some stuff you can spray in your shower so that it reacts with the pee, so it would leave dye marks.

I used to tell my kids not to pee in the pool, because if they did, the blue water would mix with the yellow urine and where you pee there would be a green cloud in the water and all the kids would know.
