We do however have completely new toilets on our to do list. Ever since experiencing a fully automatic toilet at our hotel in Kauai, I've had my eye on this: WASHLET | TOTO We just need to put an electrical outlet behind the toilet location to power the toilet. That's not something I ever thought I'd be saying. 😁 We had this toilet at our hotel in Waikiki also. The seat is always warm. I saw this same Toto toilet at Costco in Oahu for If I remember right, $399. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I just started watching NetFlix "The Crown" and am only on Season 2, I have a question for anyone to answer. When Elizabeth ascended to the throne & became Queen, her husband Philip did not become King. He stayed a Duke and later became Prince. However, now that Charles is becoming King, how come Camilla will become Queen? I don't understand the difference as to why one is elevated and one is not. Is it a blood line thing? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the Netherlands -- it had a "string" of 4 queens, and all their husbands were a "mere" Prince. Now they have a King and his wife is a Queen. Same with Denmark. The late Prince Henrik was so angry not to become a King, that he asked to be buried separately from his [queen] wife ☹️ Queen Victoria's DH was also a "mere" Prince Albert.

What I found online is that titles are still a bit sexist in that male titles outrank female titles. If Philip were to have the title King, he would therefore outrank Queen Elizabeth, so he was "only" a Prince. Camilla however can be Queen and not outrank King Charles.

mo&fran Posted May 5, 2023 #92707 Share Posted May 5, 2023 It's like a deck of playing cards. King always beats a Queen. So if the Queen is the head, hubby cannot be a king. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week I was in a hooded sweatshirt. We went from winter here to summer. Can you let us know where in TX you are? Drink plenty of water. I would get one of those misters I've seen on Amazon. There were days I had my car heater on in the morning and the AC on in the afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen now has his beginner license. Meanwhile we watched many who had to rewrite their test because they had more than 4 wrong per section of the test. Owen had 3 wrong in total. One person only had 8 right out of 20. 😱 Now that’s what I call “Happy Birthday to me!” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heading out in a minute with my hat and bottle of water. It’s been a cool spring. The pools usually open April 1st. Most mornings in April on my commute (before the sun comes up) it’s been in the 50’s. Now we’ll go right into the heat. Not really complaining, it’s just been cooler then I usually remember April and even March to have been in years past.

Rare A&L_Ont Posted May 5, 2023 #92719 Share Posted May 5, 2023 2 hours ago, sgmn said: Congrats to Owen and congrats for his 16th birthday Over here you can apply for a provisional licence at 16 , but not start driving until 17 or take your theory tests till 17 In Ontario it is a graduated license. Now that he has his G1 beginners license the earliest he can go for the next level of licence is in 12 months. Unless he takes a driver’s education course with in class and in car instruction, and then he can take his first in car test in 8 months. We have these lessons booked for 4 days the first week of July. When you pass the first in car test you then get your G2 licence and you can then drive by yourself with some limitations. 12 months after that you take another road test you then get your full G licence and have full driving privileges. There are limitations for each of the two earliest stages, for example limits such as no freeways, no driving after midnight to 5am, etc, and then it lessened with the G2 license. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted May 5, 2023 #92725 Share Posted May 5, 2023 18 minutes ago, A&L_Ont said: And this happened a few miles from home. Congratulations to Owen on passing the first test. Let the fun begin. Your driving process sounds similar to ours. One of the restrictions as well speed limit is that they are not permitted to have extra passengers in the car after 11pm. We have L plate for learners (under supervision) then red P and then green P and finally full licence. 120 hours of logged supervised driving is required which I think is a great requirement for learning to drive here. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
