Don'T Fight It - Write It

I have a problem with public bathrooms, cleanliness you ask. No, with drying my hands. Many have no paper towels, only the air machines. Let's go green, I am told. Can you tell me, how do you wipe a child's wet face with an air machine. How does one wipe up a wet counter, with an air machine. Why not have both, paper towels and an air machine. Let the customer decide, decide the one they want to use. Now I have this off my chest, Oh how much better I feel.

Back to your poem with Congratulations on your win, dear Paula. Once you express a pent up feeling through speech or in writing, we feel relieved.

Thanks for your note and for your Congratulations. Glad you enjoyed my Bathroom write. After this write, I am feeling better. I still say, many times one needs a paper towel or even two. I hate the air machines. Have a fun/blessed day..............

AMEN, Paula! ALSO, those hand dryers are supposedly better for your skin? Oh, really! Some of them are so powerful, they just about blast off your top layer of skin! CONGRATS on your win. Janice

Thanks for your note and for your Congratulations. Glad you like this Bathroom write. I also got the top layer of my skin blasted of. Hahaha. Now, I just use my shirt. Much safer on the shin. I say, the customer needs to pick air or paper towels. Have a fun/blessed day..............

Thanks for your note and for your Congratulations. Glad you enjoyed my Bathroom write. Many times one needs a paper towel or two. The air machine will not work in many cases. Have a fun/blessed day..............

I'm with you, Paula. I only use these "facilities" when absolutely necessary. And I'll bet you do feel better.

Thanks for your note. Glad you enjoyed my Bathroom write. You are so right. Life is not practical or logical in this crazy world. The customer needs to pick air or paper towels. Have a fun/blessed day..............

I agree with your genuine feelings of impropriety over this matter. You have raised very reasonable questions. Where a towel is needed, an air machine is hardly a substitute. Glad you feel relieved once you expressed it out. All the Best dear Paula.

Haha Paula, I have children and luckily I like to wear long skirts - so I'm the drying station. I'd draw the line at drying the sides though...
