Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for March 31, 2022

She’s pooped

know of any kids like Zoe MacPherson who suffer from PTSD?

Not so sure making light of a disability that leads many to suicide is a great idea.

Don’t Poo-Poo the idea that P.T.S.D. isn’t a real stinker

Wait until you have to clean them out.

Wren has the right idea, diapers.

I’ve used some of those things that were so bad that I almost threw up just entering them!

I’ve seen things in porta-potties that I never want to see again. I swear, you could dispose of a dead body in one and no one would bat an eye.

I would rather leave than use one! EW

Bet it wasn’t as bad as the ones at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. They tend to have a combined odor of p- -p and vomit; sometime both all over the seat area.

“I fell in love in the portapotty line

In the parking lot of some show

She was dancing round clutchin herself

She was waitin for her turn to go

I knew right away that I was in love

And she was the one for me

I could not tell if she felt the same way

But I know that she had to pee"

- Keller Williams

I’ve heard some people can’t use any type of restroom outside of their home; that’s a mighty tuff situation for them. (͠◉_◉᷅ )

It’s a good thing they didn’t take her to Burning Man.

In some instances it can be a real thing.

Well,at least Zoe has lost her appetite for hot dogs and junk food….

The local news had a report on the toilet facilities in a city park some time ago. There was a problem with the permanent structure and they had brought in the portable ones. The reporter was giving the story and the camera was focusing on the temporary ones when one of the doors opened and out stepped one of my friends. The expression on his face when he saw the camera was priceless…

Hopefully Wren Doesn’t Go To The Bathroom In Her Pull-up And Wanda Has To Go In There Again.

I’ve found the vast majority of porta-pottys have been maintained well. However one disgusting person can ruin it for everyone.

Once while traveling, I came upon a rest stop that had closed for remodeling but instead of leaving people with no facilities, they had installed port-o-potties in the parking lots. All were designed for the handicapped. They were huge to accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, and helpers, if needed. Plus they all had sinks with running water. Zoe may have liked one of those.

At least YOU didn’t fall in.

(Nah, not really even though I know one who did and the cousin who dropped her. Still thinking outhouse here. Portapotties are much nicer.)

Unlike actual PTSD, I think an ice cream cone will soon get her back to normal.

Here’s a hint, for everyone, that I learned from a scientist who does research in a submersible (where there are no facilities) and is scheduled to be in, or on the bottom, of the ocean for at least 5 or 8 hours. Take your drinks at least two hours before and make sure you empty your bladder at least three times during those two hours. Your system won’t need water for at least eight hours, and if you must, then just take one sip at a time, when there.

FYI, I never take water or buy drinks when I’m at a sporting event. We never had to worry about this business of constant “hydration” when I was a kid.

At my 1st JazzFest in New Orleans, I was told by friends if I could hold on ‘til we got to a ’real’ washroom, I’d be better off. I managed to do just that and so grateful for that advice.

I really hate Porta Potties!

Zoe, just wait until you’re a mother and have to change diapers! Those potties won’t seem as bad!

Haha! XD

We had something very similar in Nam, in 68-69 on our air base. And at my aunts house, who lived on a farm. I guess her outdoor toilet, got me prepared for Nam’s toilets.

Porta-Johns really are disgusting. At least those permanent “public restrooms” have sinks… And more volume, which means the stink is less concentrated.
