I doubt based on their upbringing the wealthy adults would say I'm going to the "crapper" or "potty".

Right, they call it a powder room. However, that word does imply Ladies only!

Seriously? Men would pee against a post if people aren't watching, it is not normal to fight over a bathroom. You give us to much credit for having a that type of concern.

I helped during a WDW marathon race one cold early morning in January. Thousands of runners took part. There were port-o-potties every few miles but we hardly blinked an eye when male and female runners had to do their bathroom business just a few yards from us in the bushes.

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go!

Maybe for men, but women don't have the luxury of being able to discreetly go against a pole or into a bush. We have to expose much more of our bodies, not to mention just the mechanics of it...girls HAVE to squat down and if there's nothing to brace yourself on or sit on, it's rather difficult to maintain balance. Men don't need to fight over the facilities because the facilities aren't strictly necessary for them the way they are for women. Unless the woman is wearing some old fashioned floor-length gown from the 18th century and has access to a bucket...then it could work.

Only every few miles? And where did the volunteers go if they had to? Do they have to walk 3 miles to the next portopotty or did you have to use the bushes, too?

Good morning! 57 degrees here today but I’m keeping warm with coffee in my new Skyliner mug. It’s kind of strange to drink out of, the best way is from the corner.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is both too cute and very fancy at the same time. I'd be afraid to use it and if I had one it would wind up on a display shelf

I started to buy one too but didn’t think I would ever drink out of it. Sooo adorable!!

I passed on the mug for a couple visits and then on this one I decided it was just too cute not to own. It will give me pleasant memories of traveling on the Skyliner in the dead of winter!

We were stationed in a place near AK where the port o pottys were not near our mile marker. For where some needed to relieve themselves, runners and volunteers , when you need to go, you go. Some drink stations did have port o potties.

They have sugar free ice cream? Did not know. Now if they would just do dairy and sugar free that would be awesome. So Delicious sells that. They use monk fruit and erythritol as the sweetener.

I prefer the dairy free for myself as well. And yes, I've noticed so many products are either one thing or another-free, but not both.

B likes the Breyers no sugar added or "carb smart." They even have peanut butter flavor and salted caramel. (Why haven't we ever made milkshakes at home? Duh!)

The powder room reference reminds me of the Victorian era. (Although, I didn't live back then, but I read about it!)

I like the idea of the powder room in that guests don't have to intrude and use the full bathrooms of the house and can just do their business in the powder room. My house has 2 full bathrooms and no powder room. My big master bathroom is attached to the master bedroom. I'm surprised no one has been offended by the word "master"! since a number of words seem to offend some nowadays.

Considering you probably bought your house years ago, I think you're grandfathered in with the previous common term for the main bathroom in the house.

Many realtors are now calling it an owner's suite. I'm not going to express my views on that as they would be best not discussed here

Times are a changing. The college prep school near where I grew up had a well known headmaster loved by all. Seems like that term is not currently accepted so the new person running the school is now called head of school.

Yes, I know. I was referring to her father fighting over using the "powder room" first when there were 3 other bathrooms in the house. Plus from what I read back in the 18th century, at least in Europe, they didn't bother with a bucket, they just let'er rip.
