Welcome to my Toilet!

Join me in the bathroom for a quick chat. Seriously, it’ll be fun! Some of the best conversations that ever took place in my house… have happened in the bathroom. LOL. Of course, back in the day it was the Laundry Room – but that’s another story for another video. ;-)

    I’m literally falling out of my chair laughing! I can’t believe you said ‘tinkle’ on video! I think you should get a ‘hutzpah’ (how do you spell that anyway) award! (I cleaned that up, could you tell?) This was such a fun video to watch. I can’t get over how creative you were to choose the ‘toilet’ as your backdrop. Way to go girl! (PS – you have a lovely ‘ladies room’ by the way!)

      Thank you :) LOL. Entirely too long. Just for the record, I do not usually spend THAT much time in my bathroom. I shower quicker than that! :P

    I heard Slim feet on the floor. LOL

    When my brother was stationed in Turkey, the toilets were a hole in the floor. You had to squat to do your business.

    I guess you hope that everything goes quickly. LOL

    Wow, didn’t realize that Redken no longer existed. Guess that shows how long since I’ve been to a hairdresser. :)

      You’ll hear Slim feet in almost every video I bet. He paces around me like a shark. LOL. In one of my next few videos (not sure which it is) listen for it – he’s chowing down on his dinner the whole time. haha

      And no thanks to the hole in the floor. Marking Turkey off my “places to visit” list. Heh.

  3. Patti December 3, 2011 at 12:07 pm #

    Same here on visiting Turkey. I assume the hotels have normal restrooms, but they rented a house off base and had a hole in the floor. LOL

    I lost my first Dane in early 2001. Wow, ten years ago. I’ve had two since then. Even though I love the breed, the other two just weren’t the same. I raised Soldier from a 4 week old pup. He was my baby. I still miss him so much.

    I got a kick from you admitting you weren’t really a dog person, but the Danes had touched your heart. They have such a way of doing that. :)

    And I loved the video where he put his behind in your lap. That’s priceless and so true to their nature. lol

    • Lynn Terry December 3, 2011 at 12:17 pm #

      They are so funny about being lap dogs! I cannot imagine life without Slim. And after fostering two others, I see just how different they each are. But it’s definitely true that I have a thing for Danes over any other breed. I had to double check my sanity when I started going crazy to have one LOL – I have *never* been a “dog person”. :P

      And “restroom”. That’s another funny word. Like you EVER rest in there!

      Just having fun here on this blog so far – not even worrying about monetization. Shocking, I know! :P LOL

    Hi Lynn,

    I think that I can honestly say that I have never watched a video by a girl hosted from her bathroom.

    However, you were very professional about it and it came across purely informational . (as it should)

    I have a question though… You spoke several times about smelling good so I take it that your sense of smell is important to you. No problem with that.

    My question though is about scent sensitive people and locations. We are seeing more and more “no scents” signs in our day to day lives. How do you manage to not offend others who may be overly sensitive to scents? Do you find that the issue even comes up?

    p.s. I also hate washers that tangle clothes and warm clothes out of the dryer, ROCK… : )

    smiles :)

      I am very particular about scents. I don’t like “perfumes” and prefer natural scents. Even in my home – candles are vanilla, apple pie, etc. Nothing too strong, and nothing that clashes with food. Same goes for lotions and perfumes. I hate sitting down to dinner (in or out) anywhere near “perfume” or a scent that doesn’t complement eating. Because as you know. I *love* to eat. LOL.

      I’m also very conservative by nature, so you would never smell me coming from a mile away or anything. :)

  6. Patti December 4, 2011 at 9:02 am #

    I was going to say something about ‘scents’ too. I’ve known several women who were allergic to perfumes. One of them I worked with so I stopped using it most of the time.

    I’m like Lynn though, I don’t like perfume scents. I like musks, gardenia fragrances, etc. But my favorite, is vanilla something. I buy it at Dollar General, and I think it’s for kids, but I smell more like a sugar cookie than a perfumed up gal. LOL

    I’m also sensitive to scents. In fact, before liquid laundry detergent became popular–when it was all powdered products–I had to go down that aisle with my face covered to get detergent. And I’d get mad if they rearranged the aisle and my brand was moved. After the kids got bigger, I’d just send them down the aisle. :)

    As for lotions and all, I love Palmer’s Cocoa Butter and one from Avon, African Shea Butter.

    And deodorant. Yeah, I was about 38 when they stopped working for me. I may have to give that one a try. I’ve also started becoming allergic to so many products, that I have to be careful. I guess that’s a hormonal thing too. I’m not used to having sensitive skin. :(

    You can “rest” in there, just hop in that nice tub. lol. I’ve also heard them called lavatory. That always made me think of laboratory.

    Who knew a bathroom could get so much attention. This may be your most popular entry. LOL

      You should give the Dry Idea a try for sure – I was amazed to find ANYthing that worked. LOL. As for allergies, ditto that. I’m allergic to a whole slew of weird things! Most of mine have been a lifetime thing though – but it took me years to figure out which things were causing which problems. :P

    At first I was laughing cause of the TMI nature of the video……

    But being such a girl, I was totally thrilled to find out about the hairspray for high humidity. I have been in Florida since the early 80′s and trust me……hair will fall flat before you can even get into your car during times of the year.

    • Lynn Terry December 4, 2011 at 4:22 pm #

      The “Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-humidity Hairspray” is GREAT. Love it! I know exactly what you mean about hair falling flat. I have very fine hair too, so it was often pointless to even worry with it considering how it looked the minute I stepped out of the house. LOL.

    When I used to work in offices, etc. there was always somebody throwing a hissy fit over smelling scents of any kind.

    It wasn’t that anyone in particular was wearing their signature fragrances too strong (I certainly never did) but when you have 100 people on a floor, over half of which were women (although some men do wear cologne/aftershave, etc)……inevitable when you add all the scents up together, it is going to be an avalanche on the senses. So, I have seen more and more offices adopt a no perfume policy. No using cleaning products. I was okay with this one because I’m sensitive to strong chemicals. Coughing, chest tightening, headaches, etc. when someone is using Clorox to clean their desk, it is awful in a closed building.

    One place even abolished warming up any leftovers that comprised of a fish entree and microwave popcorn was banned in most places as well (considering someone always seemed to burn it and set off a fire alarm).

    So, now being at home……I do what I want.

      Heh – I loved that very last sentence. :D All so true!

      *cheers* !!

    “LynnTerry.TV, live from the WC.”

    This cracked me up, too, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Check out a TV show called “House Hunters International,” for more eye openers on how people in other countries live, in particular their bathrooms, toilets, etc.

    As I’m sure many of you know, in Europe (and other areas of the world), many showers have no doors, no shower curtains.

    It’s called a wet room, and water goes all over the place (even though there is a drain in the floor).

    That, as well as the other hole in the floor for a toilet, would drive me nuts.

    I’m okay with traveling afar, and even camping out in the woods (though it’s been a while since doing either), but I much prefer the creature comforts of a modern loo, bathroom, etc.

    “Restroom.” Yes, that is an oxymoron.

    How many of you here remember outhouses, or have seen one?

    Though I’m not as ancient (but getting there :-D ) as this makes me sound, back when I was a kid I visited (and stayed overnight) in places where outhouses were the only “facility.”

    Lots of of odd words for toilets, etc.: Restroom, facility, lavatory, john, loo, WC, and more.

    Another winner of a video, and very creative idea, too.

    Thanks, too, for all the product tips.

      Funny you mentioned that about the wet room. Did you notice my Whirlpool Jacuzzi Tub/Shower? It’s open on one side – no door, and no way to use a curtain. I have to lay a towel on the floor in front of it to catch all the spray! It looks really pretty and when people come in my master bath they always “ooh” and “ahh” over it… but it’s not all that functional. LOL.

    I have a bottle of Its a 10 from my hairdresser too! Great for killing the frizz. I remember asking you how in the world you got your hair to behave so well in Atlanta’s crazy humidity and you mentioned the hairspray, but by time I got home I had forgot what it was called. I must go buy myself a bottle of that antihumidity hairspray stuff.

    • Lynn Terry December 5, 2011 at 11:26 am #

      I love it! After ALL these years in Tennessee, you’d think I would have found it a long time ago. LOL. Good stuff.

    Ha ha! I’m amazed that someone working in an international airport didn’t realise what an American meant by the term “bathroom”! In the UK we generally call it the toilet or the loo, but if you go to Buckingham Palace and look for the toilet you’ll find it labelled “lavatory”. Here in Israel you ask for the “services” (shirutim) – it’s considered quite crass to ask for the “toilet”.

    Another thing is that in the UK you have to be very careful about wiring appliances like washer, dryer and iron into a bathroom and it’s pretty unusual. You don’t even see sockets (outlets) in there apart from the special shaver sockets. Maybe because we have 220V electricity instead of 110V? I dunno … but I remember an ex-boyfriend who was also an electrical engineer getting VERY upset with me for taking a hair dryer into the bathroom. You would need a HUGE bathroom to be able to wire appliances in safely, and most houses in the UK aren’t that big.

    Ain’t cultural differences grand? :)

    • Lynn Terry December 13, 2011 at 5:26 pm #

      They are LOL – indeed! From now on, wherever I am, I’m just going to be blunt and say “I have to pee” and just take it from there. :P haha

    Hey Lynn,

    I wonder if “tinkle” is a southern thing because you are the 3rd person I have heard use the term ….2 in Atlanta and 1 in Tn. Oh, give Mr. Slim some lovin, I heard him clicking around in the background.

    Kim

    • Lynn Terry December 14, 2011 at 10:23 am #

      He’s *always* clicking around – lol. Will do! ;-)
