Fully Depreciated Pants and Bathroom Cleanliness
Yes, my favorite pair of black dressy pants, my only pair of black dressy pants, have reached the end of their useful life. The zipper will not stay up, and I spend all day reaching down to check where it’s at. It’s quite inconvenient when I’m around other people. It’s hard to discreetly reach down and zip up your pants. They are bound to look at you and chuckle because of course they think you just came from the bathroom and forgot that last step (Actually, the last step is washing your hands. Can’t forget cleanliness.).
Oh, speaking of cleanliness in the bathroom. Mike and I were chatting awhile back, as we do on occasion, and he had the brilliant idea that they should make baby wet wipes, but for adults, and you could flush them. I informed him that they already do, and they are available to the public for a small fee. A few days ago he came out of the bathroom and said this to me:
Remember when we talked about how it would be cool if they made flushable wet wipes? Well I noticed the package of wipes on the back of the toilet…
The package of wipes he was referring to reads “Just wipe clean and flush!” However, it also reads (in large print so it shall not be missed) ”Toilet Cleaning Wipes.” That, unfortunately, was the part he did not read. OUCH.

He said it did sting a little. I bought him the real kind and he loves them! Much easier on the skin!

The raw bum comment reminds me of a time when I was on vacation with my then boyfriend (current husband now). After a stop at a rest area, where I noticed that the cleaning lady was diligently cleaning the toilets, I started feeling an itching, stinging sensation in the bum area. At the end of the day, and for many days later, I had a horrible dark red rash in the shape of the toilet seat on my bum. How embarrassing! Remember I was traveling with my boyfriend at time. He married me anyway.

Ouch! Did you try Desitin? I hear that’s good for bum rash. Well, parents tell me that anyway. Luke doesn’t seem to like it very much.

Hey, don’t throw the pants away….if they are still good otherwise….I can replace the zipper for you.
