Be Careful When You FaceTime


When I was schlepping in the mud , feeding chickens and filling the water butts Chris left me several messages on FaceTime and on the land line to call him at work. All the exercise and cold air made me have a sudden need " for the loo" so killing two birds with one stone, I grabbed my iPad  and pressed the FaceTime button just seconds after resting my fat arse on the bog seat.
Well.......knowing each other for so long, the sight of the fiancée " on the throne" is no longer a shocking event!
So.......I shall now publicly apologise to one very chicly  dressed Professor Malone , who was standing serenely  behind Chris' left shoulder when my FaceTime image flashed it's way over the Internet!
Hey ho.....

    1. Or strangely aroused?

    2. Yes. I forgot that most women are turned on by the sight of a man having a good dump. Forget the flowers and the chocolates.

    3. If the sight of men taking a dump is arousing, then surely a fart must be the sweet breath of love?

  5. I was just thinking how far we have come from the first "video phones" to video chat. When "video phones" were first demonstrated, people reacted in horror that there are times when you just don't want to be seen when you answer the phone.

    2. We use Google video chat, almost every day, also free. It really helps when Jay is teaching, 440 miles away 26 weeks out of the year.

  13. I'm not the least bit surprised!

    I was talking to a friend one day and suddenly I realized she was "doing her business" so I said "You're in the bathroom aren't you?" and she said "NO! no way. I never bring the phone in the bathroom." and then, 2 minutes later, I heard the sound of a flushing toilet!

  18. Reminds me of the early days of cell phones. I was on the phone with a friend as I walked the aisles of an art show, checking on my intended purchase. Nature called, I walked into an adjacent bathroom and into a stall, phone still to ear. It was a phone like a brick--remember those. I said "Oh, no, I'm in the bathroom and can't figure out how to do this!" because I couldn't figure out how to manage the phone and my clothes at once. Then an entire audience of women burst into laughter. I guess bathroom conversations are more common these days.

  20. I went to the loo in the middle of the night (pitch black living where we are) and didn't put any lights on. Just as I was lowering myself on to the toilet seat, my husband said "I'm on the toilet"! Just as well it was dark and he didn't get a close up view of my rear end.

  38. Ah, I remember the days when cellphones and iPads in the loo were not a 'thing'... but a chilly chipmunk hiding in the outhouse, huddling, uninvited, on a warm lap was!

    True story, happened to my *ahem* MUCH older brother.
