Well, not if I'm only purging the life support systems of coffee, but for solid waste management, the second time is for the paperwork. It's either that, or grab the plunger every time. I do so miss the old pre-conservation systems.

Not just a bidet and toilet...

Ours has a bidet, a butt-washer, heated seat, all of which are temperature controlled, as is the forced air dryer, and can play a loud musical chime if you are worried about making noises...
You can adjust the amount of water spray in any of the settings... carefully.



I installed ours, and the 'test ride' was more frightening than when I test fired a black powder pistol I made years ago!

Not for each person, but each water jet can be controlled separately, as can the dryer and seat temperature. As for guests... these seats have become so ubiquitous in Japan that you can't fool anyone. I tried telling friends that it was for time travel, but they didn't believe me.

What I'd really like to be able to customize is the chimes player. I think something like The Surprise Symphony, 1812 Overture, or Music for the Royal Fireworks would be a lot more fun!

Why "pretty women seem to flock around the gay men"

There is indeed a good reason for it. Two good reasons, in fact. (1) The perks of having a male escort/companion without the complications of sex, so there is usually a relaxed, easy-going, comfortable relationship - not common with straight men. Not impossible, either, but hard to find. (2) The pleasure of a friendship with a male who has feminine sensibilities, also usually lacking in straight men, or perhaps more accurately, suppressed.

A great mistake I made in early life was to let go of a gay man I was closer to and loved more deeply than anyone since, because I was brain-washed by social conventions to think my lifetime companion had to be a straight man. By the time I realized I should have spent my life with this man, he was already dead. I still grieve for him.

no, I can fix this. sure I can fix this. there's nothing healthy in reading at 3am. arggg. but I love reading at that time!
Well, you go to sleep before me. I'm a night owl and I work nights. If I'm tired at 3am, it's a miracle. 4-5am is more like it, but... I am going to work on changing that a bit especially since it's so nice in the day this time of year.
