Today is World Toilet Day. Ummm, okay... :?

No seriously, it's a day set aside to raise awareness of the billions of people in lesser developed countries who don't have access to toilets or any other place where they can relieve themselves in a more discreet and less unsanitary manner.

I guess that's something we should all give a #2 about. :lol:

There is a picture of Donald Duck's face that looks disturbingly like Donald Trump's when it's turned upside-down. 8O

Less developed countries like Alabama, USA...? http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2017/1 ... ng_al.html

:-(

I deliberately picked up this article from the Alabama.com site, rather than NPR etc., because it's a plain fact, and I didn't want people rejecting the information merely because of the source.

I've left way back in 2000 and the only thing I had a fondness of was the arts museum which I truly enjoyed wholeheartedly.
