RELAX!!! All Hospital Rooms are NOT Co-ed

Is that Jim Morrison?

Why Jim Morrison?  Just curious, as a child of the 60's-70's.

Why Not Jim Morrison?

Well here in Toronto, I have never experienced nor heard of co-ed rooms.  And I've had my share of procedures, unfortunately......all very positive experiences from start to finish.

ETA - Jim Morrison was a unique individual.  His lyrics made me think.  I have Michael Jackson as an avatar on another forum.....he was very unique as well as one of the kindest souls we will ever know.

Not saying it's a bad thing.....just that I have never heard of it.  I guess after having a baby, nothing makes me blush. hehe!

That is a computer generated picture of what he might look like today.  It came out years ago.  I think it was "The Rolling Stones" Magazine.  I have a copy of it somewhere.  I remember flipping the pages and seeing this picture just for a second and thought, gee that guy looks familiar.  Looked closer and read the caption.  Guess it was the eyes that drew me to take a second look.  Yeah, he would be just fine.

I think Jim is dead and buried in England, I prefer Van.

I am absolutely in favour of co-ed bathrooms and have been for over 40 years.  It started when I was working in physics in a place where there was 1 bathroom and the nearest other one was about a half mile away and a 500 foot climb.  The guys kind of delighted in telling me that there was just one bathroom.  Turkeys!!  I delighted in telling them that is was now a women's washroom and they had to sit.

Jim died in 1971 and is buried in Pere Lachaise Cemetery, in Paris.

There ya go ymb.....that is what I was addressing before my character and religious beliefs were attacked.  I am a woman of few words out of necessity.  It is quite an effort for me to type because of PD (loss of dexterity) and sometimes I don't come across as I mean to.

Nah, you didn't f**8 up.  Your experience was awful, and it was the privacy issue more than the co-ed issue that was the problem.  But the subject does open other avenues and memories (at least for me) and a lot of them are funny.

When I started university in 1964 women were just beginning to be in equal numbers on campuses.  So I was on one floor of women in what had been entirely a men's dorm.  On moving in day I walked into the bathroom (a big communal one) and saw a couple of girls studying the urinals.  One said to the other "I think they must be a place to dry your nylons".  In fact that's what we used them for and they worked quite well.

No worries ymb.

Jim buried in Paris.  Hundreds of people put flowers on his grave even now.  Quite strange really........

I guess I wasn't enough of a Jim Morrison fan since I didn't recognize his picture. I thought it was either your son or husband so didn't know if I should be jealous or ask for an introduction.
