Good for you. Women, who avoid sitting on public toilet seats, should
also lift the seat before they pee. Not doing so, is totally disgusting.

It's not always easy using the tip of one's shoe to get the seat raised up,
necessitating standing on one foot with a bag hanging over the other
shoulder, hopefully for balance, but even at my age, I'm still doing it.
Mainly because I don't want to sit in the previous users' pee.

I have cooked things and brought them to people's houses when people have
raved about my cooking. It's kind of hard to invite people over to my house
since my dining table only seats four. I've also had relatives ask me to
cook for them. And I've done baking and candy making for a price when
people have requested things from me. I can't bring myself to earn any
money doing that though. I just charge them for ingredients.

I don't mind doing it at all. It's just easier for me to do the cooking in
my own kitchen because I am familiar with it.

My MIL is disabled and had people come to the house to care for her and make
her meals. But she liked my cooking so much that when we went to visit,
she'd have me do the cooking. A few times she even invited other people
over to eat as well.

I always put the lid down as well. Bugs the heck out of me to see an open
toilet. I always think of all the things that might accidentally fall in
there.

They were Indian women where I worked. You couldn't miss that
they were sandal prints and no one else wore sandals. Made me
thankful that I rarely, almost never, used the rest room.

Now you are really confusing me by adding the adjective to 'rednecks.'

It's a pity that you undervalue your work; it's a fairly common trait of
women.

That's a wonderful gift you're able to give her ‹ to enable her to see
and visit with friends. Does she like a variety of foods?

Yes they do ask for it and yes they are serious, but not regarding cooking

BTW, this evening I'll be at a friend's house and will cook her a
Stroganoff, which I have perfected thanks to a nice russian cook I met this
summer. Next week I'll be at the cook's house to cook her a bolognese ragout
and make some egg tagliatelle from scratch.

I keep the toilet seat and lid down (male in the house or not) because the
cat likes to use the toilet seat lid as a springboard to jump onto the edge
of the bathtub. The last thing I want to deal with is a cat that fell in
the toilet

I found there was nothing better than experience to teach me what I
liked and didn't like together (or amounts of what).

There is an old series of cookbooks on different subjects called "Look
and Cook" that are meant for novice or nervous cooks. I also found a
Look and Cook Video series by Sunset Magazine.

shortly after i lost my legs (below the knee, but i still sit to pee),
my father came to visit and used the john. shortly later, i went in
there and thought, 'jesus christ, he left the seat up.' then i
thought, 'jesus, i can't believe i just thought that.'

toilet seat inspection seems to be a lost art with some women. unless
they refuse to sit at all, which requires toilet seat inpection by all
those who follow.

Not true in all cases. I don't sit. But I raise the lid previously to
doing the pee (who wants to sit in the previous leavin's.)
I leave no prizes, nor surprises for the next guest.

I haven't a clue -- I haven't been in any men's rooms, except a few times by
mistake.

But what does it take, expertise? to pull a weeny out and aim? ;-)

it seems pretty easy, doesn't it? but it seems there are many ladies
who refuse to sit down to do their business, and they sometimes outdo
the men with poor aim.

I used to tell the guys on my cleaning crews who were grossed out by
the splashes of diarrhea on the walls, sometimes way up on the walls,
that while yes, it was a drag cleaning it, that it must be worse for
the person who shat it. I'd point out how high up it was and say that
the person who did that HAD TO have their asshole in the wrong place.
I'd say that they should be glad that they weren't the person who had
their asshole in the wrong place.
