		<description>heehee That&#039;s funny.  One of the blogs I read on a semi-regular basis is an Asian girl at university in Australia!  I have sometimes wondered how she was able to keep up with a lecture, just because you can tell that english is not her first language.  She studies her booty off, though, that&#039;s for sure!   The way she talks, she lives at the library most of the time.  That wasn&#039;t exactly my style in college.  ;)

		<description>You know, I got to read this one before I had the chance to comment.  But what I&#039;ve been wondering in between is whether people that squat on the toilet seats like that picture are less constipated.

Because you know how they say that if a woman in labor does that kind of yoga pose it&#039;s easier to pop out the baby?  So maybe it would be easier to pop out poop too.  *shrug shrug*  Who can really tell about these things after all... 

(Is it actually possible to have an inappropriate comment if the topic of the post is toileting?  Just thought I&#039;d try...)

		<description>I was once told that that position (with knees bent up and squatting) is actually ideal for, um, evacuating. I haven&#039;t tried it, though.

		<description>That?!  Was the funniest f&#039;ing thing I&#039;ve read in a while.  Maybe I got more out of it being an ESL teacher?  TOO funny!

		<description>Funny story. I taught some international students at the high school level in the states. I would agree, the work ethic and stories they bring can be inspiring. Not all had a strong work ethic. And not all had harrowing stories. But some did. And it was a gift to be able to teach such students. My first class had a strong group of Hmong girls from Thailand. Unlike many of their peers, they were determined to finish school and not get married/pregnant so very young. And they worked so hard. One wanted to be a police officer. Many talked about dealing with poverty and contaminated water leading to worms and other such things.  It puts to shame the laziness that comes with abundance.
