Thank you John. These notes are imported from my blog and the blog actually mirrors what happens here too (comments.)

Good for you on the garden and I am glad to have you as a friend on Facebook.

This was funny. It sounds like something I would be caught doing. Actually, I haven't been in a locker room for years, I get my exercise in the garden or behind the drums. Very nice collection of posts. Thanks for the add.

@Randy - Reality is stranger than fiction. I found the story but I couldn't find the video here:

@Greg P. - oh my word. That is a nightmare! The poor lady and her fear ... and what kind of "dependency" was that boyfriend exhibiting? Sheesh. I don't know about jail time for them but they both have serious psychological problems.

That's just hard to imagine as even possible.

@Randy - A very true story on TV with video of the bathroom, and an interview with the lady[post toilet seat removal] and the EMS tech with toilet seat in hand, who removed the toilet seat! Officials were going to charge her live-in boyfriend with abuse for not trying to get her help sooner. He fixed all her meals and gave them to her [in the bathroom]. I could go into more detail, but I'm sure you're about to gag about now. It's a really sad story of how fears can destroy our lives and of neglect. Although, the story is morbidly courious!

@Greg P. - very cool about joining the Y but ... ewwww... on the lady stuck to her seat. Is that a true story or something that came around via email?

My initial mental picture after reading this is of a chap that is one step away from turning into a couch potato who will years later talk about how he used to worked out at the gym all the while he is being surgically excised from his recliner. There was a national news story at the beginning of the summer about a lady who went to the bathroom one day and suddenly became fearful to leave the bathroom. Over a year later, emergency workers had to surgically remove the toilet seat from her!
My wife and I joined our local YMCA two weeks ago. Yeah!

It's amazing what gross things some guys will do. All the time at the movie theater, I see guys come into the restroom and set their drink and/or bag of popcorn or candy on top of the urinal while they're relieving themselves. Then they take it up again and resume snacking. Maybe it's just me, but the sight makes me nauseous.

Maybe he had amnesia or something and didn't know where he was. You should have checked to make sure he was ok; he could have been consuming the germs that cause athlete's foot or something without even knowing it.
