I bought one of the Toto toilet seats for my mother when she became too ill to properly take care of herself. It made a huge difference for her and her caregiver. Best money I ever spent.
Oh I bet that has made a tremendous difference. That’s great. I’m trying to talk my parents into it but my Stepfather is very stubborn and refuses to use one. :LOL: He thinks it’s an abomination! This is also the same man that got pissed that we got him an iPhone, he hates it! He still complains about it, he wants his flip phone back.

I have a bidet. It came with the house. I've never figured out how it could be useful, so it just sat there, like a knee high sink, totally useless. Then my kids got big enough to play with it and splash water everywhere. Later they found out it was fun to pee in it. Then they broke it. They still pee in it, but since it's broken they really just pee on the floor. Which they do anyway.
Bidets are stupid.
Hahaha! Oh man, yeah I was worried my daughter would make a mess playing around with it... the pressure is intense! So far so good though, she knows not to touch it and I’m afraid it would shoot her off the toilet seat so I’ll wait till she gets a bit older before she uses it herself.

Understood, I wasn't suggesting fakery, let me give an example: I've been on several MMORPG fora, occasionally been on forum meetings and figured out that the moment we stopped talking about the one thing that brought us together (be it pipe smoking, computer gaming, cars, music, hobbies - you name it) we have NOTHING in common, and find each other from boring to intolerable.




Totally understand and agree 100%. I’ve met @alaskanpiper and it was just like this. Nothing in common.

By the way, Frank, wanna make a duck hunt in the morning?

I’m considering flying out to meet my friend in North Carolina to hunt some deer. I’ve never hunted in my life, but I have a lot of the gear from being into shooting and backpacking, and I’ve never put it to use. Mule deer here in Southern California are hard to hunt and I’ve heard they can have disease. Plus I’m worried about cleaning a deer, so I’ve never done it.

If anyone wants to show me let’s meet up. I’ll buy you ice cream or something.

Go hunt with your buddy. Field dressing and/or butchering deer is easy, but the best way to learn it is in person. And it will be super fun.

Although if he’s still hunting whitetail, it will likely be NOTHING like most mule deer hunts. Especially if the mulies are on public land. Processing will obviously be similar though.

@BarrelProof likely knows a little sumpin sumpin about both NC deer hunting AND High country Mulies. Boomer?

Whitetail hunting is a lot of sitting and waiting. If you don’t mind sitting perfectly still for hours, it’s actually very relaxing and contemplative. And then a big adrenaline rush all at once if you see a good one. Most new hunters hate it at first, but if they stick with it long enough to bag, or even see, a deer, they’re often hooked.
