It's a work-related conference.  I just got here and I have a splitting headache.  I'm waiting for the Advil to kick in before I drive to the Grand Canyon, seeing how it's kinda close (well, that's relative, LOL).

I used the men's room at the airport.  Ended up at the sink at the same time as a guy.  Didn't look, washed my hands, dried them and left.  Bad thing: I had my laptop and there was no hook in the stall so getting pants up and down was an issue; the floor was too questionable to put  my bag down on.

Phew!

Slept on the flight; hope I didn't drool.

The rental car clerk was confused about my ID; didn't say anything other than OH, the reservation was in the name of Jay...after I handed her my ID.  She was pleasant and made small talk.

After a *&&$#$%^(*&% trip to the hotel in the rental car, I got SIR'd twice at the front desk!!!  Until I handed my ID, but they didn't say anything. 

So I'm off to the GC for about an hour.  We won't talk about the drive...

Jay

Sounds like "Jay's Incredible Adventure!"

Men's Room, as I recall are always "suishy" on the floors and I cannot imagine anyone putting anything on one of them that one didn't wish to burn afterwards. >

Enjoy the Canyon, Jay. It's breathtaking!!

You did well, my young apprentice

No talking, no LOOKING... do not acknowledge the existence of ANYone else in there.

Omg, like Nichole said, BURN it if anything touches that floor!

Just as an aside, its not like you could set your lunch down in the women's room floor either.  I worked as a janitor for a while and its not like one is worse than the other, its just a matter of what's on the floor.  Guys might miss (a lot as it turns out) but no one can make a mess like a woman who feels she is entitled to have others clean up her mess.

And that's what those hooks are for, to hang stuff on.

Sounds like a good day dude Hope to hear more soon

I am now seriously dead and need to get to bed.  BUT:  On the drive to the Grand Canyon I needed gas, so I pulled over at a truck stop and used the seriously crowded men's room.  In, in a stall, stood to pee, washed hands, got out.  If anyone looked at me funny I didn't see because I wasn't looking!   And at the GC store someone asked me if I went to some school in Tuscon, like he'd seen me before.

Anyway, a good day except TOO LONG!!

I hat when the bathrooms are packed like that. Not because of passing, but because usually, the toilet is COVERED in piss.

That's where my little handy dandy stp thingy helped - I stood up.  I wish I had my mango, but I thought I'd be too scared to use a urinal.  After this week, I'll have had my fill of men's rooms and it should be no biggie. So the next step will be the urinal.  EEP!

Much as I hate to agree, I do. Right down the line.

I get so tired of those bits of paper that come off in your hand that are dropped, not in the toilet, but on the dammed floor!! It's like the aftermath of a celebration parade with the confetti left lying until the street-sweepers come along.

And the uncleaned toilet seats left by the hoverers are simply, well, too crude and privileged to even talk about without screaming! And there is a reason for those little aluminum bucket-attachments to the sides of the stalls!! They are there to place napkins and tampons and their associated wrappings into!! Those do not go in the toilet or on the floor!! It's not enjoyable to cross the Red Sea on foot in order to get to an overflowing toilet when you truly must go!! 

And is there truly the need to toilet-roll the toilet!! Forests have been decimated so someone can wrap the room in her toilet paper!! OMG, tekla, you got me started!!

OK, men seem to leave more squishy and women just leave a god-awful mess in public toilets. There is absolutely nothing any more messy than a public women's toilet!! If I knew who was going about doing this I would die before going into her home toilet! I can just imagine the slobby and nasty way it would be!!

No, nothing is any more disgusting than the ways that women use the fact that they don't have to sweep or mop their own mess in a public toilet!!

Of course Jay had to face that other challenge in using the mens' room at an airport, the roving Republican senator with a wide stance.

Congrats Jay.  I'm so happy for you and I hope the rest of your conference goes well.  You big business man, you 

ugh... always wondered which was worse, men's or womens.  Haven't made it to mens yet to find out.

My ex used to complain how disgusting men's rooms were; truthfully women's suck too.  I think anywhere people can make a mess because they don't have to clean it up, they do.  So far, with the exception of one unflushed toilet, the men's rooms I've used have been clean, relatively speaking.  And no, I'd never set my stuff down on the ladies' room floor, either.  And there was no hook...

Braved the men's room at the conference and had an unforseen dilemma: only 2 stalls, both occupied, and 3 urinals, 2 occupied.  ACK!  Fortunately there was an other guy in front of me who discovered the locked stalls and he stood to wait, me behind him.  Thank G*D he went for the urinal right when a guy came out of the stall, so I got the stall.

And the woman who knows me talked to me a bit and sat with me for part of the sessions.  I was just glad I didn't run into her near the restrooms.  It was a no-brainer.  Long line at the ladies' room and no line at the men's (right across from each other).

Jay

Of course a long line at womens lol.  They like to take their time.  A lot of them anyways.

Jay, how is the work with the STP coming? Have you got it down? Getn ready to make the purchase and want to see if you have it mastered?! Camden

I have the mango and have it mastered.  Took a good 2 weeks to be nearly 100%, then at least another week or so to master it half asleep.  I wore it 24/7 and used it every single time.  Had enough accidents to feel like I was 6 years old wetting my pants but now that I have it down I'm comfortable and confident with it.

I have another stp device (medicine-spoon like) that I'm using on my trip.  It works well but I'm too clutzy with that one to pass at the urinal with it.  The mango at least looks like a dick if someone glances over.

When I get comfy in the men's room I'll use my mango for sure.

For daily packing I prefer my 3.5" soft packy which is NOT stp.  I may have to get one though.
