    These freaking doms. STILL gravity falling onto the toilet. 😒

    Someone should invent peeing while standing up

    They already have! I just haven't tried one... I may rethink that if this continues much longer! haha

    Oh i know there are things you can buy, but i was just thinking if humans could be redesigned to pee that way. If only..

    If you are able to stand, you can pee standing up. I challenge you to go out in the yard and try it. Lemme know how it goes.

    Ok but it’s below freezing. I’ll pee upwind and report back

    Zero stars, do not recommend. Maybe if we could fashion a little tubular thing to affix down there, aim wouldn’t be so problematic

    google STP (stand-to-pee) devices. But... maybe not at work. LOL

    I’ve looked at these. They seem like they would make the whole vulva wet and messy

    If we change it to “Yankee Swap” you can steal it from @KickassAmazon76 and tell me how wet/dry vulva be.

    hahahahahahaha

    Granted, some of them have smaller wells and holes for waste. There are some that have a better seal, a bigger output and a larger resevoir to minimize "soakage". lol. There would still be some cleanup.

    This may be tmi... but the one time I went fishing with my dad... I just took a large (empty - haha) yogurt container with me into the bush. Hold it up nice and close and let go!. Dump in the bush and you're golden! NO MORE PEE ON THE SHOES. Minimal mess. And I got to STP.

    Went well enough that I'll be doing that more often. (It's way better than not drinking for 5 hours while on the boat)

    Huggers

    Is that why some people tense up when you cuddle them? I mean hug them against their will?😬😔 I thought if I kept hugging them, they would eventually learn to like it? Oh well, most people don’t seem to mind.😁🥰

    Remember back in the day when kids used to ‘credit card’ each other? That’s what an unwelcome hug feels like to someone with a profoundly rigid bubble 😆

    I don’t… This can’t mean… What do you mean

    When your hand is a credit card, apparently your buttcrack serves as a swiper

    Oh? What are the cons? I bet you can’t come up with 40

    I would say dealing with rush hour traffic now that I'm day staff (when I worked shift, my report times were BEFORE or AFTER rush hour, when traffic was decent). But I'm guessing you're asking about today specifically.

    Hmm...how about when I popped the lid on my microwave soup, and it spatters little drops all over the place.

    Yes. It is exactly why some people tense up.
    If people don’t like being hugged it is polite not to hug them without consent. And even with consent some people will still tense up when hugged.

    There are many reasons for this reaction. And no, most of us don’t “eventually learn to like it” What we learn to do it put up with it until it’s over (this is a type of masking). But it really truly is not wanted by more people than you might expect. And for some of us physical pain is part of the issue.

    Anyhow. Consent. It’s a really good idea.

    I’m not much of a hugger myself these days but I am curious if self-proclaimed non-huggers ever get “touch starved.“ Is that even a real thing?

    I can (mostly) only speak for myself about being “touch starved”

    Kind of? But only for the touch of loved and extremely close companions.
    It takes an extreme level of trust for me to feel comfortable hugging someone.
    And I do mean extreme.

    Thank you. I was wondering about that. Whether or not people who are not huggers are completely averse to touching or if it’s just a more intimate thing for them. Of course I know everybody is different. Thanks for the input

    I’m a hugger. And I’m touched starved. I accidentally kept hugging my elderly neighbor a few years ago when her husband was dying.

    It's not an aversion to touching (contact)... it's an intimacy thing. Some people can be there, some can't. Unfortunately most don't realize what they are doing. And like so many things, societal norms generally dictate who is "right". As such, I keep getting hugged. But I keep not liking it.

    It's also the reason I don't like massages.

    This makes sense to me. Thank you for explaining

    I'm a hugger. Big time. My son is not. Big time. I have learned to ask him before I hug him, or even touch him. Sometimes, when he is hurting, it is painful to not pull him into my arms and try to comfort him. Thing is... It doesn't comfort him.... It comforts me at his expense. So if he is hurting, then I ask if he wants a hug. If he doesn't, then I say ok and hold back. Sometimes, on rare occasions, he does. And sometimes, when I am in pain or hurting he comes to me and offers me one.

    He almost always says yes to a foot rub tho, so he gets a LOT of foot hugs. Lol.

    Kind of a parallel thought to what you were saying.

    Personally, as a person who needs physical connection, I feel significantly hug and touch starved and sometimes I'm borderline depressed as a result. It's rough.

    My oldest boy is the same. And he was born that way. Every once in a while when I just can’t help myself I stick out one finger and touch his elbow or his toe for just a second so that some cosmic connection can be made. I don’t really believe in that stuff but he’s my first born, you know?

    Eta: I have his permission to do that
