Bathrooms can be a huge problem, now I know why for 100's of years people kept a thunder mug under the bed. Very collectable today and a laugh for us Yankees when out of state youth buy them thinking they are bean pots from yester year to bake beans in.
I did take note that the brand new hotels no longer put in tubs, just big impressive showers with all the bells and whistles. The big Casinos that run specials of $50.00 per night for rooms in the winter is a short time in the life of a poor person to experience real luxury.
One does not have to hit the tables or the slots, for that one or 2 nights stay one has accesses to the heated pools in the winter, the fitness rooms, the last of the bars and food establishments that allow smoking, and one can as a guest get into free museums and outside places of entertainment.
One can get a scooter for rent at half the price if they have need one, and the door ways to the bathrooms on all levels will admit a scooter or wheel chair.
Just once a year do these deals come in, and the change we put in a jar every day will pay for at least 2 days of ESCAPE from our worries.
For the handy capped as myself and millions of others access to a bathroom is at the top of the list for needs, then there is cost, when you are in the middle of the lower class, making less then $40,000 a year, have a mortgage and taxes, utility bills and medical care, keeping lines open to social interaction regardless of physical problems is a must.
GITGO what goes in must come out, I wonder how many people live a life confined to their homes, never leaving for fear of needing a bathroom on seconds notice cannot get to one that can accommodate them and their health devices.
I want to remove our old fashion tubs and replace them with showers, toilets that sit higher then the old ones. As one ages one must adjust their living conditions, no stairs and rip out the high cabinets in the kitchen that were a problem for us to reach at our younger years.
Just my take on life, I kept my mouth shut when Mom had her bathroom redone. Crazy she wanted a tub that she at 90 years old would never use and to take her showers she has to step into a tub to do so.
I step up 3 inches to the shower, she has to climb over 23 inches just to get in the tub. Darn the people who live alone do not need to take that risk.
