It's almost not an issue. There is plenty of nasty currently. At least not the norm! I was reading somewhere that the Palace of Versailles had no type of facilities at all and people, male and female, just lifted a leg (as it were) and did anything in any corner or wherever they happened to be standing. It was reported that the odor in the place was unbearable. Good times!

I went to Versailles in the early 90’s. Don’t remember much about bathroom facilities. I only remember the mirrored room and the gardens actually.

Going to Pittsburgh for the first time next weekend for a baseball game. Pretty excited!

It is really nice around the stadium. Have fun!

The Olympics are in two weeks apparently. The ones that were supposed to be last year. I wondering how much money they will lose? Billions? Watching games with no fans is never fun. Plus I wonder how many people around the world actually care?

A shame there will be no fans. If anything I usually watch gymnastics and diving.

We had the "monsoons" here yesterday afternoon at about 5pm. Thunder, lighting, very heavy rain that basically was falling in a straight line toward the east. Totally sideways rain with, of course, high winds. They told us that the Hurricane was past us, but this was far worse then anything we saw during Elsa.

We had that Thursday.

Practice run for E's hair for her Gala on Tuesday. There's definitely a learning curve, but this one turned out better than the one I did last night.

My brother and I when as young kids grew up in simple surroundings, 1 bathroom in our 2 bedroom apt to share with my parents but we all managed. When my parents bought a house, having multiple bathrooms was incredible.

Last week my son was in my shower and my youngest wanted to shower. She then had the brilliant idea of using the one in the hall.

I love her hair, very grown up.
I have a question about the game, actually : Is it in English if not what's the translation?

Well, they have probably cleaned it up since the 1600's. The facilities are behind the mirrors and the challenge is to find out which one. j/k

I actually read that they had no plumbing at all. So everything was done in the many hallways (eww) or in large bottles and then thrown out the windows or left outside by the servants.

Now I wish I paid more attention.

I vaguely remembered using a bathroom when I went to Versailles so I looked on their website this morning and they do have public bathrooms now but as for when the royal family lived there I don't remember seeing any as we went through. But there are a lot of rooms closed to the public so maybe one of those was one. I think the chamber pot was probably more of a thing for the royals and people during that time.

I am doing nothing but watching Shark Week this week because I am an adult.
