Oh, the one-bathroom dilemma. Oh, woe! :)Actually, with 6 people living here at the moment, we have the same problem. It may make for good comedy, but it requires timing and tact.

Wait. Didn’t granma win some money and put in a second bathroom? I’m sure she did.

I grew up with one bathroom, and so did everyone I knew. Don’t remember it being a problem. And my best friend had 6 sisters!

Phil will live in a house with one woman and two girls entering their teens. Poor guy is going to drown in a sea of estrogen.

How did they make one bathroom work with 4 women all these years?? Time to think about buying a new home or adding on to the one they have!

On a totally different note: I’ve never heard of Cafe Yumm (it really exists, though — I looked it up), but that’s one HECK of a logo they have. They encapsulate a bowl of soup, a happy tummy and a smiling face all in one image. Wow!
It makes the Amazon logo (with the A→Z arrow) look simple by comparison.

Away from Joan, Wally and the kids? I look forward to the hubbies conspiration over the fence and then later on, maybe a new addition to the family….

Phil can handle the one bathroom issue. I grew up with one bathroom, my sister was the last one for shower as she took forever. My family we had one bathroom for short time. We moved different homes. First two with two bathrooms the 3rd one bathroom lots of storage and the 4th one now 3 bathrooms all with showers and one bathtub. Homes.

As long as he remembers to put the seat back down when he’s finished, he’ll be fine!

Am I the only one who thinks today’s renderings are just slightly off from their usual appearance? As if not drawn by Jan?
