Are you really saying we should all get handicapped toilets in case we
may one day get a knee or hip injury?

On the short side of normal, I'd say. People are getting taller over
the generations. I was always told it's because they eat better and
better quality foods. Maybe it's the xanthan gum.

The bottom portion of this large double-hung window is frosted, but it's that
spray-on frosting. It gives great privacy while the top window is still clear
so lots of natural light. I should take off the exterior storm window and see
if the bottom portion of that could be sandblasted to make it frosted.

The spray-on frosting is quite adequate but I have to be careful of how I clean
that window as to not remove bits of the frosting. For years I had a curtain
that was on taut rods but facing west, the sun was brutal on that material.

Are you saying you won't sniff a persons ass unless they have a
non-handicap toilet?

My younger daughter got fed up with the glass windows in her kitchen
cabinets. The cabinets were too good to jetison so her SO put that
plastic screening stuff on the glass interiors to make the glass
appear frosted and one can no longer see what's piled up in the
cabinets. Works a treat.

I've seen that vinyl/covering whatever it's called and it does a great job.
That might be a solution for the interior of that storm window instead
of trying to have it sandblasted to make it frosted.

I've used that on a few windows, where I wanted light, but needed
privacy. It works very well - but make sure you get the stuff _without_
the sticky adhesive backing!

I don't know what that is. Is it part of your pedo fantasies?

Not at all. However, if the toilet is being replaced for some other reason,
it's good to think about the future, including the effects of aging on the
joints.

I was challenging Gary on "I don't worry about what might happen someday".
It reminded me of the fable of the grasshopper and the ant.

Exactly. Our old bathroom (the one with an actual bath) still has its
original toilet, but when we installed the new shower room, we put in a
'comfort' height toilet.

Of all the things that could possibly go wrong in the future, only a

Whereas the grasshopper and the ant knew for sure that winter was

Everybody's different. I think I'll be dead before I'll be unable to
use a normal toilet.

It's a bad comparison. Winter comes for sure, but the inability to use
a normal toilet is not a certainty at all.

A 'normal' toilet today is not what was considered a 'normal' toilet
back 20 years ago, design is more practical now.

There you go again taking things to the extreme.
I have all of the above but so far, I'm not interested in buying any
medical device just in case it happens to me. If the time comes, I'll
deal with it.

Should I shop for a discount wheelchair now...just in case?

Bottom line...a window in a shower area is a bad idea.

It's difficult to know what you meant by "I don't ever worry",

We didn't rush out and buy a new toilet even when I blew out my knee.
But when we remodeled our bathroom a few years later, we put in
a comfort-height toilet. At the request of my 26-in-inseam husband.

Perhaps a brain transplant.

It used to be quite ordinary until ventilation fans in bathrooms became
common.

Now, I love the window in my shower. The sunlight coming through all
the colored art glass pieces inside the window is just gorgeous.

Not very appealing to me. I just want to find one suited to my needs.
I think I found one.

That's it. We suffer the most from the suffering that we fear.

Where did you buy yours??

I've seen some vinyl window coverings for privacy at Home Depot, but not
opaque enough although quite pretty.

When this house was built in 1923 I doubt if there was such a thing as a shower
head. But a window in a shower is no problem if it's one of those transom
windows that is quite close to the ceiling. Water would be no problem then.

Not my bathroom, but here's a great picture of a transom window over a shower
area.

Put a sign in the bathroom as a reminder

LOWER PANTS BEFORE USING TOILET

This is not always true. Some people here suffer being forged, kill-
filed, and ridiculed as payback for years of narcissistic post-humping
attention-whore trolling.
