[Steppes] Living in the Past....Could you really do it??

Lady Gabriele (aka "ToG" at Gulf Wars) ,
 
I much agree!  Very much better than a hole in the ground.  However, I have experienced some modern day "Turkish toilets" in France.  Think elevated skis and a hole in the ground.  Yuck.  Hard to believe something like that exists these days.

Celebrate who you are. After all, you can't be anyone else.

A friend comes and bails you out of jail - a True Friend is sitting next to 
you in the cell going, "Wow, that was fun!"

Speak softly and own a big, mean Doberman. -Dave Miliman

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are 
allowed to remain children all our lives. -- Albert Einstein
