Sometimes you have to give up on your ideology and say: Thank God for Microsoft. <br /><br />David: Korean interior designers are way ahead of you. The floor of the bathroom is about two inches lower than the floor of the adjacent room, so that there's no way for any standing water to leak out. (Of course, this makes toe-stubbings a bit more frequent,)<br /><br />Your pole-shifting solution is interesting, but would only grant me about six inches of extra space, and would leave the room a little asymmetrical. Cutting the curtain is also an intriguing suggestion, though I'm afraid I'd wind up with a gap just big enough to allow me to see the reflection of my ass. <br /><br />As for buying a better one: no way am I going to let problems with something that I didn't even purchase in the first place lead me to upgrade to something new. My goal is to approach zero-consumption!<br /><br />Greg: You're right. I do see the possibility that allying myself with the hard-and-fast concept of vegetarianism could lead me to miss certain more nuanced ways of interacting with the earth. In particular, I go back and forth about whether or not I should be looking for and supporting sources of sustainable, low-cruelty meat.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17198921079835614264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37894952.post-76742350297064667432011-05-03T06:32:17.646-07:002011-05-03T06:32:17.646-07:00Point taken.

We can so easily get stuck on what can and can't be done based on what we know, but with a little humility and trial and error there are alternatives to what we think are our only options. <br /><br />I might have repeated your point but if so then we are on the level. <br /><br />When it comes to meat I think there is another option to opt out of modern meat production than vegetarianism and I think that's often missed- eating pasture fed and ethically raised animals.<br /><br />It's easy for any of us who care to miss an aspect of the bigger picture and that's why it's good when everyone can talk openly and not let dietary religions over-ride reality. This includes aspects of what I've said, because I'm learning but I don't know everything nor will I ever.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837267127455078280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37894952.post-46749628830512150432011-05-02T16:41:17.599-07:002011-05-02T16:41:17.599-07:00It may very well be the biggest deal.
Wouldn'...It may very well be the <i>biggest</i> deal.<br /><br />Wouldn't your angled solution just blast a lot of water under the door? Or is there a rubberized seal? These are the kinds of details we need to know.<br /><br />Not to overly complicate matters, but I feel like there are a couple other--and potentially superior--options:<br /><br />1) In the longitudinal solution, simply scoot the rod as close to the "black" counter as possible. You could even cut it shorter so it goes above the toilet, as I feel like the main thing your trying to accomplish is keep your TP and toiletries dry.<br /><br />2) Buy one of these <a href="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=curved+shower+rod&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&hl=en&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1680&bih=921&ie=UTF-8&cid=6572468563635242149&sa=X&ei=yj6_TZiVHabbiAKq5uyfAw&ved=0CJsBEPICMAQ#" rel="nofollow">bad boys</a> -- or something similar.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673945838926083092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37894952.post-80313137769491269372011-05-01T19:48:42.315-07:002011-05-01T19:48:42.315-07:00Excellent use of Microsoft Paint!Excellent use of Microsoft Paint!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445688693296690667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37894952.post-24261649478599482182011-04-29T22:12:50.871-07:002011-04-29T22:12:50.871-07:00You are well on the path to Monism, my child.
