If I had my way, any building where women were expected to congregate would have an entire floor dedicated to toilets, at least two dozen stalls and possibly three with a humongous supply of toilet paper available, plenty of wash basins and a side salon with mirrors for touching up hair and makeup.<br />Maybe a few extra stalls in the men's facilities too.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-8703617784567063542017-01-19T21:33:42.890-05:002017-01-19T21:33:42.890-05:00I'm going to The Beach Boys concert Sunday nig...I'm going to The Beach Boys concert Sunday night.

It bears to reason that women should have double the space for bathrooms, but they don't. I also read some place they have bathroom monitors to keep things running so to speak, directing women to open stalls, etc. <br /><br />Sounds like a great concert! ME must be a bit up in age these days I would imagine. Give me a minute, I'm going to do a google search......born in 1961, 4 years younger than me.
