My Iphone is sending barometer readings to IBM/Weather Channel, my smart TV is sending viewing data to advertisers and now Apple Ear Buds can be configured to listen in on conversations. ......and there are cameras everywhere. I am going to have to read “1984.” It was assigned reading in high school, but somehow I skated.....

Oh it's no biggie, I had my back to him anyway, I think he just didn't expect anyone to be in there with the lights off.
Eventually our daughter will be going off on her own and he will inherit her bedroom which has its own bathroom anyway.
It was laugh material later.

Eh, I wasn't speaking to the incident, as much as I've come to the conclusion family members do best with having a little space between them.

I grew-up decidedly un-rich, until my Mom's business got off the ground during my teens. We lived 6 to the flat, one bathroom, and sharing bedrooms. Yeah there was lots of love, we're still close as can be, and we made it through together. But damn, I'd never go back to living like that!

So true. Add in the middle of the night, 3/4 asleep, bathroom lights on, no spillage
And do NOT forget to close the seat

The condition is called nocturnal polyuria. Find a urologist & get a prescription for desmopressin acetate, known also as DDAVP. It blocks the hormone that signals the kidneys to make pee. You make more at night than in the daytime. I take it & only get up once.

Thank you for that. I suspect it is not for me, but I will see what my doctor says.
