Sort of a surprise that you worked with nuns:) Next you will be telling us you studed for the priesthood:)<br />Like Jae I am familiar with those old Turkish toilets in Paris....only a couple left now and I am pleased that got rid of those monstrous pissoirs in the street.<br />In Asia they still have some. There is an art to using them which requires skill and aim . I DON'T consider this a suitable forum for giving lengthy instructions.<br />rallentandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06980559347805844568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-72815607616445004972014-04-03T18:35:17.057-07:002014-04-03T18:35:17.057-07:00wow the things you saw.

This was a matter not of the ankles, but of the center of my gravity. I could not lean myself far enough forward to achieve stability. Again, when I weighed 155 pounds, I was thirty pounds lighter than my high school graduation weight and 7 pounds from my street starvation weight.<br />christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-26681954965280393232014-04-02T22:35:16.359-07:002014-04-02T22:35:16.359-07:00I had no idea there's a Western squat.
