I found the plastic urinal thing that they gave me at the hospital to be convenient to use. It is less messy to use with the shortened turtle penis that is all wet from the pad. Rather than digging the thing out and getting my fingers wet, I put the mouth of the urinal right up to my belly where little Nub is peeking out and let loose.

I keep the urinal in the shop when I'm working alone there and save trips to the bathroom.

so when people talk about a big cup size, they're talking about urine capturing/measuring cups ?? i wasn't really sure, but that doesn't sound right for some reason....oh well, Jeff wouldn't send us down the wrong road, would he ??

White bird and James C,

Those are very good suggestions and I am sure in some homes they would be quite acceptable and appropriate. However, in our home we use the Solo cup as a color accent to offset the monotony of white ceilings, floors, fixtures and walls.
We need that red splash of color to add warmth, add interest and bring focus to the room. I'm sure I saw an article about it on HGTV. or in Home Beautiful.
Just for the record, all of our vehicles are equipped with hospital issued urinals, each one's mouth carefully sanded with 400 grit sandpaper for improved comfort.

Jeff,

Thank you so much for sharing. I laughed through the entire read and even harder as I pictured it happening. Great story.

Maybe you can get a cameo appearance in Toby Keith's music video for his Red Solo cup song. Another opportunity if the Ajax thing doesn't work out.

Jeff ~ after I stopped laughing I went to check what dishwashing liquid I use.  DAWN, antibacterial.  You see, I put some of this into the potty chair bowl so when my Granddaughter goes potty, there are little bubbles.  Maybe bigger bubbles would be better? smilewinkgrin

Aimzee,

The bigger the bubbles, the better the butt tickles. :-)

LOL LOL LOL ...

... at least that occurred on the same floor during the daytime, Jeff !

I have two male urinal bottles ( 1 litre) in the house - in my artist studio on the main floor - and up on the third floor bedroom. The only bathroom is on the second floor.
Occasionally I would use the studio one to relieve oneself while focusing on my artwork and not wanting to break away from my creativity... but when it comes to nighttime ... I often wake up 2-3 times a night to pee - hence the bottle on the third floor.....
... it does become a battle of wits when I have to decide after the second visit - and the amount of fluid in the bottle- if I have to mentally plan to go downstairs to use the real washroom, or risk an overflow on the third floor.
.... it can become a real jim carrey - three stooges - max brothers moment when (as you described) feeling the waters rising ( using the CNIB blindness training to see how full you can fill a cup of water) and then having to pinch and run (or waddle).....
....thanks for the laugh - have a great time at GFMPH Cajun Spring 2012.

hugs,
Bronson
