(We are clearly on a roll with our bathroom related info….we’ll try to get our minds out of the toilet for next weeks communications.)

Dear AgingButDangerous,
By the way, I lived “dangerously” this weekend.  I have this bathroom phobia thing, and am not at all comfortable going to bathrooms in gas stations, and other places where I worry about the conditions of the toilet, sink, and will they have toilet paper.  Now that we travel more,  I have had to suck it up many times and use bathrooms that I wouldn’t under normal circumstances.  Well, this weekend, we went to a Jimmy Buffett concert, and there were lots of Porta Potties.  I immediately said I need to go to the bathroom, but was unsure about the Porta Potty, because I DON”T DO PORTA POTTIES.  Well, long story short, after my husband used one and informed me that the Porta Potty was better than several of the bathrooms I used on an international trip, I lived “dangerously” and used a Porta Potty.  My husband was right, it was cleaner than I expected, and I survived.
 
Okay, so I don’t know if this actually constitutes “living dangerously”, but I thought you would probably have a good laugh.  Ha ha.

Dear Laurie–We are SOOO proud.  Peoples fears and phobias come in all shapes and sizes and it sounds like yours strongly resembles a dirty version of a Robert Gober sculpture.   We applaud your courage!!
