You know, no matter how long I put the page up to the mirror, only one post in this thread shows that word.

It is true that the word appears in your mirror, the problem you have is you think everybody has that same view in their mirror, however they aren't in the bathroom with you.

Well said Damo!

I heard one American blue rinse say that her dog went to the bathroom in the yard.
I don't think there are any outside karzys left south of Blackburn!

[Note to Americans: No, don't try to understand.]

The Republicans must accept responsibility for the Democrats failing to put forth a plan and rejecting the Republican plan? How do you figure that? Again, for the stupid.. Republicans passed a plan in the House, it was rejected by the Senate Democrats. The Democrats have no plan, they haven't submitted anything, they want to increase the debt limit without any plan. Republicans refuse to do that, it would be irresponsible from an economic standpoint, to do that. If we just increase the debt ceiling, without addressing the debt itself, what message does that send to the world? That it's Republicans fault the world has no confidence we'll ever pay off our debt? Yeah, probably.

You are totally unable to respond without lapsing into this stupid polarised partisan crap, are you.
It's your country that needs to get itself straight. To us it doesn't matter one iota if it is the Democrats fault, the Republicans fault or the fault of men from Mars.
Stop being silly little girls, stop trying to score points and get it sorted.
Get back to me when its done.

Can't help noticing that you have a problem with prepositions.
Of course, I love women. Are you suggesting I re-classify you?

I certainly do not vote democrat, if that is what you think. Do you realise the cost and time necessary to do that?

Telling a woman you do not know, to go mend socks, while calling her stupid is love? Annie is a well liked and highly educated woman. You have displayed over the course of 6 or 7 years a tendency to denigrate women-perception is reality.

Don't you mean a water closet? I believe the term restroom comes from the fact that many of the first public facilities at large shopping centers had large lounges, along with the toilets, and whatnot. I remember this was particularly the case at the restroom of the Bon Marche at Northgate Mall in Seattle. The couches in the lounge area were fantastic. Obviously bathroom comes from the fact that we had bath tubs before we had indoor plumbing...

There were 'rest rooms' long, long before shopping malls. The term goes with 'bathroom' and 'powder room'. Simply evasive rubbish and nothing more. There are, I guess, hundreds of terms invented so we are spared embarrassment, but 'rest room' has to be one of the daftest.

Yes, because in your family your husband and children call it the loo because you want to dismantle that leftover Victorian cultural conditioning.

It's kind of right up there with following the old Byzantine Catholic Church you see....

So fifteen minutes ago!

I hate to disabuse you of your fantasies, since fun is so hard to come by at Langley Porter Psych Clinic where you have a permanent home, but I was taught to be nice to people who are so delusional they really shouldn't be allowed out of the rubber room, let alone given access to a keyboard.
 
So the answer is you still call it the bathroom and to hell with those who don't like the {} Church then?

You've done wonders with the gardens at the {} by the way. Before you know it, they will have you completely off the booze and you can "can" those adult di-dee's that cause VPL. We know you call it "having a job", but pruning pansies is really your therapy.

Its better than calling the entire facility the "toilet," when that is merely one appliance to be found within, alongside the sink, the mirror, the soap dispenser, the hand dryer, and so forth.
