Such times tend to accelerate growth - think about the times where you may not have changed much at all, they were probably very day-to-day. Your divorce probably forced you to feel, see, experience all sorts of new things and most people can't help but change. Back to bathrooms: I am not sure about privacy V cleanliness. I would guess privacy would be primary but it would depend on the level of grossness! Jill: A lot can happen in a year, especially after any life-changing/crisis event like a death, divorce, move.

Back to bathrooms: I am not sure about privacy V cleanliness. I would guess privacy would be primary but it would depend on the level of grossness!

I just now figured out what those "labels" are for - that I could put on a category list! So I guess I sort of just hadn't explored your categories! I'll have to now though. :-) Bathroom fixations - I wouldn't have thought I had one either! It is totally amazing to me how much I've learned this first year of divorce (I was just thinking that while cleaning up the kitchen) about all KINDS of things! (myself included) It just amazes me, completely amazes me. I ****know**** I couldn't have been a totally different person a year ago, but sometimes it feels like that's the case. At any rate, back to bathrooms. I wouldn't have thought I had a bathroom fixation, but there are definitely bathrooms I dislike using. I don't like bathrooms where the lock doesn't work properly and I dislike bathrooms that have more than one entrance. I dislike bathrooms that have a sheer flimsy curtain over a window that faces a street or other public area. And of course dirt and grime I could do without, but if it came to choosing one or the other, I'd choose privacy over cleanliness. I figure there's always hand gel! :-) It’s funny you know, but I’m still figuring out the whole blogging thing.

I thought you had noticed that I have an ENTIRE CATEGORY titled "Bathrooms and Toilets" When you began writing about bathrooms I thought it was pretty funny! Most people won't admit to bathroom fixations but bring it up oh, over drinks or something and EVERYONE has some type of bathroom horror story. Or even great bathroom stories like, "I was in this 4-star hotel/country club/resort and and the restroom had cloth towels/a guy in a suit handing you towels/lotions/cologne..." Traveling overseas is great for the ole bathroom photo collection. Or not depending on where. I didn't have a digital camera when I went to Europe. My first intro to "squat toilets." Costa Rica - no seats. Toilets but the seats cost extra. In fact, toilets would be sold out on the streets - all lined up on a rug. A friend pointed out that he noticed that a woman was coming outta the stall as my flash went off. The things I go through for these photos, I'm telling you!

I've seen worse. Experience has me avoiding gas station and public transportation bathrooms. I don't take photos of grossness. I'd have to Lysol my camera or something. The whole bathroom thing started when I went to Europe years ago. Pre-digital camera days. Of course I had to take photos of the bidets! I would think there's a guy out there who could post about the mens' room but it's more awkward for them what with the whole stand at the trough-whip-it-out-eyes-forward thing. If I guy took a photo he'd probably get beaten up. Kristi: Yeah, it could’ve been much worse. I’ve seen worse. Experience has me avoiding gas station and public transportation bathrooms.
