Pissotte (*) that is!
And, lots of bikes.
(*) For those late to the party, there are many of these structures to be found in Venice. What are they? Read about it here: public-service-notice
I’m taking a break from blogging, but I’ll be lurking around the Reader to read what others are offering.
See you later!
Hello World 
How are you doing, Yvonne?
How is your break going?
I miss your posts and photos! So, I came by to drop off some hugs!
I only blog once a week…it’s all I have time to do right now.
(((HUGS))) and 🙂 ‘s! 🙂

HAHAHAHAHA ok let me repeat that, HAHAHAHAHAHA. So besides giving up blogging for a while, what are you doing? Want to read my new 2,500 word e-book give away and give me some feedback on it? I’m doing it as part of a blogging class I’m taking. 🙂 Love you, and your blogging.

I was wondering if the pissotes were only for men but I recalled that in the far past women peed being stood up too . My wife and I remember how our own grandmothers did this when they were outside far from facilities! 🙂

I have no idea why I am jumping in here….but this popped up on my morning reading of various comments. There is a little plastic device (I have one) called a “she-wee” that makes it easy for a person of the feminine persuasion to create a spray that arcs away from the body just as a person of the masculine persuasion is able to do naturally. It’s used by hikers, campers, travelers of all sorts, as well as enterprising elderly who have trouble with the too-low seats in public lavatories. It works okay with trousers, but it’s best if there’s a fly. Just sayin’

I went around in a circle trying to find out what they actually are. (From this post, to the linked post, to Google when the linked post told me nothing, back to this post from Google’s helpful suggestions.) Then I decided they’re exactly what they sound like if you don’t pronounce your t’s properly. I can think of a few local corners that could use one.
