lol - add my name to the "concertgoers" line avoiders. There were weird looks from the guys as there were about 10 of us with the same thought at the same time.

You bet. Never really understood why folks get so up tight about it anyway. After all, we didn't grow up with separate male and female toilets, did we? :)

Sure...as long as someone stands guard for me!!

On yesterday's guestion. Since I'm single I've been there. I've dated a great deal, and never has someone spent the night no matter how well my children know them. Now, if they aren't home for the weekend, thats different. I have older children with significant others...one thats engaged. I will not let them spend the night in my home, sleeping in the same bad. So its up to me to set the example.

Gosh Lori, you've stumped me with this one. I've never come across this problem. I've always just gone and found another restroom somewhere else. I'll have to think about this one and get back to you.

I'll be the odd one out. I wouldn't unless it was a dire emergency. I'd just find another ladies room.

Where I work we have two men working in the entire building. Many of use the both bathrooms..LOL The men don't mind. It's just a room.

Probably not. I'd either hold it, or find another ladies room. Now, dire circumstances may make me change my mind.

YES! me and about 40 other women took over a men's room at a hockey game

Yes, discretely. A rest room is a rest room. I'd share mine if the ladies needed a place to powder.

Yes, I chaperoned lots of majorette group and school trips. With the majorettes we would just take over all the bathrooms, 50 plus young girls just gotta all go at the same time. With the school band and choir there were more girls so when the boys were done the girls took over. Only once did we ever get complaints, it was a skanky man in Quebec. We told him to pizz off.Lol

Good Morning Everyone and TGIF!! I hope you all have a great weekend! Tess, I am still waiting for your answer on the bathroom question! :)

Today's question is different for men and women, so be sure to answer the appropriate part...lol

MEN: A sperm bank wants to buy your sperm. You could really use the money. Do you do it?

WOMEN: A couple has offered you a large sum of money to be a surrogate mother. You really need the money. Do you do it? (assume, for the question, that you are physically able to have a child without complications)

Okay I'm a woman...

And my answer is, no.

No

Although I do believe being a surrogate mother would be an honor I don't think I would do it because I need money.

Note: I have yet to be with child so maybe my views would be different after (not knowing the feeling of carrying a child).

NO, I just know I could never give it up, couldn't feel that little baby kicking and growing inside me, give birth and give her/him away. But I will add what a wonderful gift to parents who can't have children.

No. I could never do something like that "because I needed the money". I also think the emphasis on having your own biological child is overblown. There are lots of children from all over the world who need homes, who need loving parents. If they have that much money, they can adopt.

No--having been "fixed" for 25 years, they wouldn't get their money's worth.

I could never do it for the money. But at one time I was faced with that decision. My sister had a very difficult time getting pregnant for her first child. They had went the fertility route...and still no pregnancy. They had put their names in for adoption and had approached myself and my younger sister about being a surrogate mother. Both of us told her that we would do it. That decision was taken out of our hands when she became pregnant on her own and 9 months later delivered a daughter.

No way. If I'm gonna go through nine months of discomfort followed by the equivalent of pulling a watermelon out of my nose, I'm keepin' whatever comes out! :)

Okay, okay, okay. I've never had a kid, so I don't know whether I'd be uncomfortable or not. But, seriously, I think there needs to be a MUCH higher motivation (we're talking selfless, spiritual stuff here) than money to be a surrogate mom. And, as an adoptee myself, I totally agree that the emphasis on biological connections is way overblown.

Yes I'd be happy to help out, especially if there were someone cute there to help me out.
