Did you have a diary when you were little? Remember how it had a lock on it so no one could look at it or read what you had written? (granted, this lock was not high-tech, but it was a lock) You would write about your life, your hopes, your dreams, then hide it away in a drawer and make sure your sister or brother did not know where you hid the key.
Look at how times have changed. Now we write about our lives on the biggest information finder in the world in hopes that other people will read and comment on it.
Interesting how we change.....
P.S. Thanks to everyone for the comments and the links to my site. This is turning out to be kinda fun!

Men vs. Women
Guess what I learned at lunch the other day? Some Mens bathrooms are much different than the Womens. (Don't ask how we got on the subject during lunch). Now I have been in my share of boys locker rooms during my sports career in high school. (They always put the visiting team in the guys locker room) But what I learned yesterday was eye opening.
Info for the guys: A womens bathroom has a stall around each toilet. When there is no one in a stall, you know that you can use that one. If all stalls are full, you form a line and wait. Pretty simple.
Info for the ladies: Some Mens bathrooms have troughs......with no dividers and no flushing mechanism. (see picture of Wrigley field restrooms). There is a slow stream of water that constantly flows to 'flush' the trough. The guys just stand there and aim.
This brought up a few questions from me....
How do you know when it is your turn?
What is the requirement of open space for a new person to 'step up' to the trough. Can you touch shoulders? Do you say 'excuse me can I squeeze in'?
Has anyone ever tried to 'shoot the gap'. Stand in the second row and try to reach the trough?
Is there a mirror on the wall in front of you or do you just stare at the wall?
The engineer in me thought this was a pretty efficient process. No need to worry about germs on a flush handle and you can fit a lot of people in with minimal equipment. But still....are you kidding me? I can't imagine walking into a women's restroom to find a row of toilets with no walls....sitting down next to my coworker on the commode and asking them to pass the paper?
Men and Women are so different.
p.s. I take back that thing about the spell check. If you hold your mouse over the yellow outline, it will give you options of correct spellings. Sorry - too quick to judge.

Peer Presure
Okay, so I gave in. My brother and sister have a blog, a lot of my friends have blogs, and I think of things all the time and say ...'If I had a blog, I would write about that'. So here it goes.
I HAVE A BLOG.
I was actually forced to sign up for a google account in order to post a comment on my friends blog (thanks Jennifer) and that got me thinking that this is probably a lot easier than I think it is.
So, that's all for now. I need to go read and figure out how to set more stuff up.
Stay tuned.....
p.s. this spell check sucks.....as a 'not so good speller' I need them to tell me how to spell it, not just highlight it in Yellow!
