In America, we are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Oh yeah, and bariatric rated bathrooms. I snapped this picture of a bariatric rated “handicap bathroom” at the hospital Mrs Happy delivered Zachary A part of me feels for folks who struggle through life outside their home in search of a toilet adequate enough to do their thing. Bathrooms and toilets simply aren’t made to hold the weight or size of 300, 400 or 500 pound people and neither are the hospital toilets. Part of me wants to believe these bariatric rated bathrooms are for the oversized pregnant women on the floor. But the rational side in me knows otherwise. America is fat. And we have the...

Check out 10 things we want to do over the next few days: Bake a cake. What better way to celebrate the weekend than a perfectly summery cake. Make our bathrooms greener. No, we don’t mean the paint color. We’re getting excited about our new fancy low-flow showerheads. We might even start singing. Eat our fruit frozen. We’ll try anything to beat the heat. A smoothie and some frozen grapes for a Saturday afternoon snack sound amazing. Take a break from meat. Our weekend will be filled with leisurely meals crammed with vegetables and whole grains – we got enough meat and dairy this week. Tweet. The world must know every exciting thing we’re doing this weekend. And now that we can have...

There was the really nasty one at the convenience store/truck stop. There was the really nice one at the conference hotel where the floor to ceiling doors on the stalls did not have locks and you just had to hope no one opened the door on you because you really couldn't tell if they were taken. There was the really tiny ladies room with two stalls between all the giant conference rooms that always had a line. There were the ones way far down in the basement of the museum, past the coat check, gift store, etc. that required a good five minute walk.Most of these were updated with the latest in sanitary touch free devices. You know the toilets that flush automatically, the sinks that turn on automatically, the hand dryers or paper t...

Whoever last used this toilet was a proponent of the “helicopter” or “crop duster” approach to urination. She squats, hovers, and sprays. She was thus spared contact with a potentially dirty john – with the added benefit of working her thighs and glutes. The downside, for you, is damp. If your office is home to a chronic crop duster, irate signs in creative fonts tend to appear on stall doors: “PLEASE be considerate and leave this bathroom the way you found it. This is a SHARED space. We don’t come to YOUR house and pee on the seat!” and on and on, depending on how often your co-workers have gotten a wet one. Another favorite is the cutes...

Running Away (”bolting”): Usually on the streets of Manhattan, and not as bad it sounds since I’ve taught him to stop at intersections and hold up his hand for me to take it before we cross the street. Gave me a heart attack until I got him used to obeying the call of “Alex, street! Hand!” He still likes to run as much as a half-block ahead of me and Ned when we go for a walk. I did find one way to check him on these jaunts is to call, “Alex, wait for Ned!” And he does, often coming back to give Ned a hug.
