QotD: It Was Kismet
How did you meet your current, or most recent, significant other?
My husband and I met at College we both went to the PAS conference.. (think FFA for college) I was talked into, doing the computer contest which was an Excel spread sheet, and when that was canceled due to weather, I was talked into an impromptu speech and a debate. Hubby had been talked on the the quiz bowl team. I guess you could say we met and the rest is history.... that is the short version. ;)
This February it will be 14 years since we met and in May we will celebrate 10 years married.

Vox Hunt: Gone
Show us a photo of something that's gone now.
Late as usual, but both are gone now... when we had the big snow in early December, we went sledding and built snow men and a dog, and had icicles on everything.. its all gone.

QotD: Over or Under?
Okay, we hate to ask, but... over the roll or under the roll?
Over, most definitely.
the south american toilet
We have lived in our new house for a year. We moved last January. We weren't looking to buy a house... really we weren't, but a historical farmhouse on 16 acres crept up on us and surprised us. We happened to see the ad in the paper, and decided to take a look at the house. By the time we looked the house had been pulled of the market in an attempt to rent it. We thought about renting to buy, but with some family help financially, we ended up buying the house instead.
Besides the 16 rolling acres of pasture there are other things we really liked about the house.... (mind you we were renting a 800 square foot, 5 room story and a half, that was falling down around us, in a semi pseudo questionable neighborhood to boot.) We liked that the house is in the country, with property, we have 2 neighbors who are close enough to call in an emergency but not close enough to look into our windows. The house is 150 years old, and the molding in the front rooms around the windows and doors is beautiful, although it could do with a "touch-up" (strip the 8 layers of paint off and such)
Upstairs is a small room and a big room. The kids bedroom is the small room and the big room is the toy room. Upstairs. not in the living room under our feet in front of the tv all the time. Just off the toy room is a small bathroom, my guess is it was a closet oh so long ago. (Before indoor plumbing.) A very small but definitely usable bathroom. it had an ill fitting mustard yellow toilet seat. so I took that seat to Lowe's bought one the same size (or so i thought) dropped and broke the yellow one in the store and so threw it away.. came home and found the seat was even bigger and more ill fitting than the other one. and so I began to investigate this toilet... inside the tank is a make and model... after some Google searching I found the company's website. They are in South America. There is one page of the site translated into English, the welcome page. and they do not make a toilet seat that fits this toilet anymore either. It appears that no one does. Even the Kohler baby bowl is too big.
So.. the toilet has no seat and the boys will not use it because it has no seat.. (yes they both stand) so, no, they don't need the seat... but they wont go in that toilet. much to my chagrin....
and I'd like to know why there is a South American toilet in my house in the first place.....
