Reading in the bathroom is the only refuge I have at work. I have a busybody boss who can't stand it if he sees you standing still for more then five consecutive seconds, and the only place I can both get away from him and be said to still be taking care of my job is in the farthest stall in the men's bathroom. And I bring a book, to wile away the time.

Maybe its the whole bath thing in general - since I know a lot of women who like baths - but I've always been a man who loves a good shower. And, you know, its damned hard to read in the shower. Now, I like hottubs, but again, its hard to read in them, and generally I have better things to do, like drinking mimosas and whatnot.

i got nothing about the bathroom thing...except to say that War and Peace was a catchy little book...
what i just noticed, however, is the date at the top of the site...Thursday, June 22, 2006 13:38.... was that the day of the last big crash ?.... time to rewind the old timex

I have that disease too! If I don't have a book or magazine I read boxes, bottles, whatever there is!

I don't spend a lot of time in the bathroom either, but I will occasionally read something, and I'll be in there longer.
Have any of you ever spend so much time reading that your legs are alseep when you try to get up? I'm talking 10+ minutes at least.

I forgot - my heart's desire - I'm assuming here that we mean a personal thing, not world peace, etc. (not that those type of things are not worthy too)
- to be able to lose that bit of me that is still too self-centered after years of trying to get rid of it. It would bring me more inner peace, that is for sure. I still find myself looking back on some things at the end of a day, saying, "Oops."

Yes, I deserved that smack, Penguin, and I accept it.
I just caught up on the rest of the old thread, and now I'm hungry! PR, have you used real wasabi or just the stuff that they have here in the states. Most of it is horseradish with food coloring, and not real wasabi at all.
As far as spicy foods, I like them, but if the spice overwhelms the taste of the food, it isn't for me.
One if the Japanese Sushi places around here has their own names for some of their sushi, and they call one of them "the Atomic Bomb". I've never gotten to try it yet, but I am curious.
So who is he?
He's my husband.
Well who in the damn galaxy ain't!

Anyone who has spent time around animals (and yes, I am going to compare raising children to raising training animals...if more people treated child-rearing like that, we'd have a lot better behaved children) you quickly see that the animals bond with the primary caregiver.
In the last thread I mentioned our philosophy of much carrot/little stick - we praise our son when he does the right thing. When he thanked a woman I know for some little thing, I praised him "Good boy!", and the woman responded "What is he, a dog?"
Well. The similarities are remarkable - especially when we started potty training him and he kept leaving little puddles on the carpet like a tall, blond spaniel.
