Thank you all for noticing I've been gone!! You have no idea how good it made me feel. :-) I have been busy beyond belief... almost all great stuff... and as I work my way back to Flickr I'll be sharing it all with you. But for today, because I have so missed sharing my traumas with you, and you know you have missed them too even though you pretend to be aghast, I will share the only part that has not been that good..... And yes, I know it's not such a great pic... but the ant was moving and I was shaking, so cut me a little slack, okay.... Ready? Does the pic give you a clue? If you feel creepy crawly when insects are being discussed... or prefer not to read about bathroom issues, please TURN AWAY NOW..... So here’s the background info that you need… As one ages, the need to visit the bathroom; during the night may possibly increase. One gets adept at waking, crawling out from under the toasty covers, sleep walking to the bathroom, taking care of business and sleep walking back to bed, all without ever opening one's eyes.... in the female version of this scenario, one would be seated while in said bathroom. Okay, so a few weeks ago, I walked into the bathroom during the day with my eyes wide open and my usually sparkly white toilet was covered in GIANT black carpenter ants!! You know... the kind that weigh 4 pounds each and chomp away at the wood structure of your home!! Needless to say I screamed for my husband and calmly explained that we were selling the house and moving out. I would not listen to reason! I mean, c’mon, is there reason when your toilet is totally covered in ants??? Not the floor, not the walls, not the sink… but the entire toilet covered in ants???? My husband went upstairs and when he returned the ants were gone... but I knew this was only temporary and many many more were lurking in the tank, awaiting my return. The ant specialist was called , all the while with me factoring fair market price for our house as I frantically searched the listings for anything new that could be bought and occupied before night fall !! Then, it turned out that the pest control guy couldn't come for several days. Now people who claimed to be my close friends were having a field day with this... suggestions of how to fend these monsters off were flying… all through gales of laughter at my expense. How surprised everyone was that this supposedly strong woman was ant-phobic! Yes, but c'mon, have you looked at one closely lately! Soon my bathroom was lined with Bay Leaves and peppered with cinnamon... baking soda made a slippery white coating on the floor and towels were jammed under the door with a 3 foot mound on the bedroom side. I was taking no chances. If I could have moved the dresser against that door I would have! And all I could think about was sleep walking into that room ... with those ants all over the toilet... my eyes still closed.... and SITTING DOWN!!!!!! OMG – my heart is pounding just thinking of it…. I sat up all that night, afraid to close my eyes. But finally I dozed …. I was awakened as one of my lids was lifted ever so slightly. I found myself eye to antennae with one of these mighty Giant foes!! They were so brazen they were now joining us in our bed! That was weeks ago…. 3 visits from the bug guy ago… 2 jars of bay leaves ago…. 3 spice bottles of cinnamon ago…. night after night of no sleep ago… And they are still here. They feel so much at home that I noticed they are starting to redecorate .. I swear yesterday I saw a little tiny bedroom set being moved into my guest bedroom … So here I am… I am still as afraid as I was the second I saw those first ants… the bug guy has been here so often that he feels comfortable to get food out of my fridge without asking…. My For Sale sign has mysteriously had the the S chewed away so that we are now advertising that the Kasper Family is all For Ale - the beer companies are picketing my yard - the local college students are gathering…. and life marches on….. thousands and thousands of tiny little bitty feet at a time! Wait, I feel a little tickle on my back… could someone please check to see….

This display at the Kohler Design Center featured a fancy toilet seat with a remote control that controlled the seat warmer and built in bidet. There was a piece of plexi-glass over the opening so that the bidet wouldn't squirt all over when you try it out. Unfortunately the plexiglass didn't cover the entire opening and the bidet had an "oscilate" feature. It also seems that when you press "STOP" it doesn't actually stop.
