    Not in those bathrooms. Yet one more bar with unisex bathrooms. What's wrong with making one for ladies and one for gents? Two signs, that's all you need. You can even hand write them with a Sharpie. Honestly, two bathrooms side by side and they are both unisex. That's just so wrong.

    i've noticed that it's mainly a lot of places in the central west end that have the unisex bathrooms. but maybe it's just me that finds humor in that.

    At Gladstone's in Soulard, there's not only a unisex bathroom, but it has two stalls so men and women can be in there at the same time.

    I had a wonderful time, and I'm glad I met everyone. Everyone was just how I expected them, except for Freddy Ferret (he didn't give me a hard time in the bar as I expected) ;) He has assured me that he will continue to do that in blogs though. Thanks.

    Did anyone notice I had a crush on Mae? ;) I was very lustful for her that night. The twinkle on her chest was very bewitching. ;)

    Cyber says "????" about the co-ed bathroom at Gladstone's??? I mean, the stalls are private--there's no urinals. It beats having to go all the way upstairs.

    Glad you had fun, elaine! You're always welcome to join us in our insanity whenever you're in town!

    Co-ed bathroom stalls. I just had this scene pop into my head.
    A man in one stall and a woman in the other, neither one knowing who the other was. Then one of them lets out a huge squishy loud-as-hell fart as another person walks in. The new person steps back outside and waits. Eventually the two people come out gasping for air and the third person just stands there wondering which one of them cut it. That and if its safe to go in yet....

    Wow! Hey! WOOHOOO! Thank you, Elaine! I had found those little twinkle tattoos in my makeup kit and placed it direct center in my cleav as a gag, to see if anyone would notice and/or comment. I think I should go buy more twinkle tattoos!

    That could happen just as easily in a segregated bathroom as well.

    What's really cool is that not many women go in that bathroom so you can really freak out guys who are standing there trying to figure out if it's the men's room or not and then just pop in ahead of them, as some guy is coming out.

    I would figure if I used that bathroom I would go into the first stall and start pooping and leave the door open just to see the looks on the faces of the women that try and make it to the second stall. :p

    I cannot use the bathroom if a man is anywhere NEAR the bathroom. I got paranoid Sat night thinking that someone might be standing outside the bathroom door, waiting their turn. Matt and I are not the kind of married couple that does our business in front of each other, either. We don't even leave the bathroom door open. There are some things that should remain private, even between a couple. I want to always remain sexy in his eyes, so peeing or pooping in front of him is OFF LIMITS, as there is nothing sexy about that. I don't even want him to watch me give birth. He has to remain up near my head the whole time. I'm really uptight.

    The POB and I were staying in a little tiny cabin w/in the first 3 weeks or so of knowing one another; because of logistics on the last day, he couldn't wait for me to shower before he pooped and I couldn't wait for him to finish before showering, so we had to do it at the same time.

    On the other hand, it's only been recently that I can even poop when he's in the house, let alone on the same floor. And even then I have to have both the fan and the water running.

    Why is it that women run the water when they are in the bathroom? I can tell you right now: Men are not that dumb. We know that when you are in the bathroom, something is coming out of the lower half of your body. If you are running water while your in there is says one of three things:
    1. I'm WAY too uptight to even let you hear me pee, if you possibly could in the first place.
    2. I'm shitting and I don't want you to hear the loud splashes. Again, we'd have to have our ear up to the door to hear this!
    3. I have really bad gas and I think the sound of running water actually covers that up. Oh, and we won't smell it when we go in there either.

    My mom used to insist that the kids run the faucet when using the bathroom at home. I think it was just that she didn't want to run the risk of hearing any "bathroom activity".

    I don't do that at my own home, but I find that it's now habitual for me to do it if I do so in someone else's home.

    LOL, that is hilarious Vince! Bodily functions are part of nature. Doesn't mean I want to witness it (that's why there are doors on bathrooms. Use them), but I know what's goin on.
Submitted by joe at 11/18/2002 2:57:07 PM
    Sorry I missed out on the activities :/ Was having an exceptionally "me" weekend.

    hehe. poop.

    hehe. fart.

    Turns the faucet on so that Leesa can have a little privacy.
Submitted by Mae Midwest at 11/18/2002 3:19:09 PM
    Well *I* have a great excuse for running the water when I'm in the bathroom! Our cat, Mowee, runs into the bathroom every time I do, then jumps on the sink and howls until I turn on the water so he can drink from the faucet. That's why you have pets, so you can blame everything on them!
Submitted by christy at 11/18/2002 3:44:19 PM
    I don't bother if I'm just going to pee. I'm also not keen on listening to other peoples bodily functions, especially of the poop kind. I used to be really anal and hated for people I didn't know well to use my toilet for ANYTHING.

    I guess I still am that way a little bit.

    I don't mind peeing, but I WILL NOT go poop in anyone else's house. Or anywhere but my own home for that matter.

    Joe, you are one funny dude. :D

Browne doesn't need to lease the space --the city paid for it, and he's just sitting pretty on a multi-million gold mine. Things will change, though, when SteinMart goes bankrupt. I imagine they'll file sometime after the holidays...

Rock Hill City Hall (Mayor, City Administrator, All the Aldermen, and Alderwomen) reminds me of "The Beverly Hillbillies" I'm not going to name, names, but I swear a couple of them have seen, Johnny Walker and Jim Bean, a few too many times. One of them looks like they just crawled out of the bottle. They can't seem to find occupants for "Market at Mcknight", however they state they are pushing forward with phase II....another Target!!!! I hear they (Novus) are wanting to much money per square foot, to lease those empty buildings. City Hall needs to go back behind closed doors, for their sessions, and stay there!

Karen, Use the first URL that Ben posted. That's the one I use and it's always worked for my sites.
Karen Goodman
Ok, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with these. Which URL do I paste into the pinging section of my blog?

And, I cleared my cookies and now can't logon. Can you send me my login info. My website is St. Louis Real Estate Insights and I've included my email address.

Thanks for that Kathy. The pinger is back online now. Everything has finally been moved to a more permanent server which will get plenty of attention when it goes down. I can start fixing these bugs -- stllboggers cookies, twitter bot, etc -- with the knowledge that any work I do won't be lost.
Kathy G
I'm sure you're aware that pinging hasn't worked for the last 24 hours!
kperfetto
I can log in, but not ping. I've always pinged (pung) manually. Does the automated pinger work with Blogger, too?

Love the new commenting system, though.

i assume you are aware that twitter has stopped showing pings. i really liked that feature, and i am hoping you are trying to fix it! :)

I'm also having a pinging issue -- when I ping (and I use firefox) I have to log in, ping, go to the main page, log in again, and ping again.

Stlbloggers is living on a temporary server which isn't honoring cookies for more than half an hour.

I'll kick it this weekend.

market at mcknight is mostly empty. don't imagine that's going to change anytime soon with the current economy. they should have left the neighborhood there.

I can log in, but when I ping, it tells me I have an invalid user name.

Before the outage, I never had to re-login from the computers I use most often. I don't think I entered a password for months. Now I have to login everytime before I can ping. Maybe its a different symptom of the same issue?

Ever since that "mostly dead" incident, I have to log out then log back in every time I want to ping. Is this happening to anyone else, or just me?

Stick a "http://" a the beginning of your URL.
