Seven Bits of TMI

As If You Really Wanted to Know Seven More Things About Me


You may thank Suz from My Life As a Busy Bee and Hula Hank for subjecting you to yet more Jason related TMI.


1) I've had laser treatments for back hair issues. While these treatments were very good for getting rid of the majority, I still have to battle manually the unwanted intruders now and again. Mind you, my back was not a carpet by any means, and the problem was mainly with my lower back. But it took some time to get me pool and beach ready!


2) Speaking of battles: The older I get, the more intensely I have to fight the nose hair fight. It is SO disturbing. I now own multiple battery powered devices for purpose.


3) The two senior individuals with whom I reside do not close the door when they use the bathroom. Talk about TMI.


4) When I lived in Peru, one place I stayed had a big open-air dining room. Right next to it was the bathroom. It had windows, up high. And they were open, too. And the whole place echoed liked the Grand Canyon. Not good.


5) In the above mentioned place in Peru, we shared the open-to-the-dining-room bathroom with our landlady's grouchy son. He was fed up with my roommate's bad habit of clogging the toilet. So one day, he hauled him into the bathroom and showed him a long knife that was kept in a drawer. And he told him to USE IT TO CUT THINGS UP so the toilet wouldn't clog!


6) It drives me CRAZY when people leave their multiple containers of Metamucil out on the kitchen countertop for indefinite periods of time!


7) I cannot stand it when people use air fresheners that smell like food in the bathroom. Mixing those two kinds of scents is just not right.

Sorry, Claire. More potty talk.

And now I'm tagging the following bloggers, because I would love to get to know them better. But let me clarify that the original purpose of this meme was not about TMI. Rather, you're supposed to share seven interesting/random pieces of information about yourself, and then tag seven other people to do the same. But if you want to share TMI, feel free.

My dad taught in a public elementary school for 27 years.

Each spring, as kids were about to move on to the next grade, he gave them a mini-survey. Told them he wanted to know what they liked about his class, what they felt was the most important thing they'd learned, and asked what they'd like him to change for the next class he taught.

He got a response from a boy that he still has in his scrapbook, even though he's been retired 15 years.

"I really like you and you're a great teacher. But you have way too much nose hair and your ears are hairy, too."

He stopped at the pharmacy on the way home and picked up a trimmer.

I'm sorry to say he rarely uses it these days.

Oh. That's TMI, isn't it?

jlo said...

Well, I have battery operated things too, oh wait...TMI.

Thanks for not tagging me. :( I could have done a whole bit about unwanted facial hair.

Suz said...

I love it. More info about you. You are too funny. I NEVER would have guessed that you have hair issues....I pictured you as clean as a baby's bottom. Except for your perfect coif.
hugs. Suz

Grandma J said...

OMG Jason! I didn't see one stray hair anywhere on your body...well, the parts I could see. I never would have guessed that you had a thing about hair. Did you notice my gorgeous mustache? Were you jealous? I do get anno yed by nose hair. I never even knew I had any until a few years ago..it seems to take on a whole life of it's own, and I do own a twisty thing to remove it.

Now, It's too bad you didn't tag the senior individuals in your household. I'd love to learn more about them...I mean from them.

And Suz, Jason is groomed to perfection, you guessed right. And twice as sweet as apple pie.

Ewwww, I didn't think of using a knife last week, (if you read that post you too could be grossed out by potty talk,)- I resorted to a stick!

Gee, I have to do that tag from Grandma J....got to think of some good dirt :)

Jenn @ Juggling Life said...

You definitely have bathroom issues.

Cheri @ Blog This Mom! said...

May I just thank you from the bottom of my heart for fighting the nose hair battle? And, may I ask you a questions? How in the hell do I get my husband interested in the fight?

g said...

Ummm... Jason, you seem to have serious potty issues here.

Of course, so do I so I'm not complaining exactly....I just don't tell everyone about them.

Actually - this post was TOO FUNNY!!!!

Hula Hank said...

You mean like Pumpkin Spice candles going full blaze in the toilet?

What is an appropriate toilet scent? Ocean Breeze??

POTTY TALK ALERT>>

I was having a converstaion with my sister about the small size of the exit holes in the American toilets, and how eveything fits (and often doesn't fit) through it.

She told me she carries around tongue depressors. I used the stem-end of one of my mother's fake flowers. PS - Don't tell my mom!!

heartshapedhedges said...

What??? Does this mean you dont like the smell of Vanilla poop?

Pumpkin Delight said...

It is so ironic that you are talking about poop in the post. I just had a poop conversation with someone else this afternoon.

When I was in Mexico I found it disturbing that, due to weak plumbing, there were signs in all the toilets that said to not throw the used tp into the toilet, but rather into the trash can right next to it. It creeped me out a bit that there was "used" toilet paper in an open bin, right next to me. If I thought too hard about it, it made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

ChiTown Girl said...

Hmm...should I be annoyed that I was also tagged by Suz, and did my post earlier in the week? (Didn't you see it, silly?) Or, should I be flattered that you actually want to know 7 random things about me? (Or is that 7 MORE, since you already read the first 7 on my post? tee hee!) I'm going with the latter!!

smiles4u said...

I love some potty talk every once in awhile. Thanks for the laugh!

Rebeckah said...

Absolutely hilarious! Like always! I can always count on you for a roll-on-the-floor belly laugh : )!

I wonder why your inlaws don't like to close the door. Is that cultural?

Kelley with Amy's Angels said...

Oh my on #5! Then again, we had an exchange student from Italy when I was in high school and she flushed all sorts of stuff. We had to tell her to stop when it came to notebook paper. Seriously!

OK...so, being new to this whole bloggy thing, I was given a blog award and was told to pass it onto other blog authors. I picked you! I hope you don't mind! It's the post dated 10-18-08. : )

The Girl Next Door said...

OMG I love the whole TMI angle on the tag. And now I have been tagged twice for this so I MUST do this today! I promise! Thanks for the link, the tag, and the laughter.

Helena said...

Cheers, Jason! The tagging continues.

Smart Mouth Broad said...

Very interesting. I'm with Smiles4u. A little potty talk is always good for a laugh. ooooooo!

Tag, I'm it. I will be happy to play.

J said...

This Tag brought in some great info which really did bring us closer to knowing our friends online. I've really enjoyed reading all the different personalities.
Thanks Jason.

Vernacular said...

Perhaps I will always be a fourth-grade boy in a woman's body, but poo stories just always stay, well, fresh for me.

Vernacular said...

Although, I am upchucking a little in my mouth. CUTTING IT UP, with a knife KEPT IN A DRAWER?! This is advice??

The Mulligan Family said...

Hi Jason - I'm getting caught up on my blog reading. I just saw that you "tagged" me in this creative post! Thanks!! I will do a posting in the next day or two and will be sure to let you know when it's up. Thanks again. This is a fun idea! Cheers, Cindy
