What do you think you are going to catch exactly?
You know Typhoid Mary is dead now.

I take a look a place, the clientel it serves, then decide if I want to use its facilites or go elsewhere.
The only place on earth I have had any doubts is in France. how they can be the hub of the food world with public toilets not having running water, just a hole in the ground beats me :gah2:

That's because the French haven't figured out how to take a shower yet, never mind a place to wash your hands after you pee!

I know I'm not gonna catch anything, probably.
I have a better chance of getting fleas from a skanky strippers lap dance. That's why it is a phobia I suppose. I have already refused change because it looked like the girl pulled the dollar bill outta her dogs ass or something.

A compression fitting on the fresh water intake on my toilet was a bit crooked and it leaked, and the wax ring had a slight leak. So on my way home from work I picked up a new brass ring and replaced it, that stopped the water leak there. I was about to pull the toilet up and put a new wax ring on and came up with a better idea, I went in the cellar and used a hair dryer to slightly warm up the pipe, then retightened the screws holding down the the shitter. It worked! After 10 flushes no more leaks.
On a side note I put the old shitter in the breezeway yesterday and went to work putting on the new one. I ran out to the garage to get some steel wool to clean the copper pipe and there is my 4 yr old sitting on the damn thing with his pants around his ankles pushing one out on the it. He had that stupid pushing one out face on and I says "what the heck are you doing!"..........He says "nothin" yeah, nothing all right. Good thing he shits like a rabbit.

LOL poor LH.

Glad you found an easy fix. I like doing plumbing but only on water pipes. I won't touch dirty toilets or sewer pipes. Gimme clean copper and a torch and some solder and flux and I will sweat pipe all day.

I kinda like doing that. Except under a sink then I get the couplings, 90's and 45's pre soldered and all you do is heat them up. They have a ring of solder/flux 1/8" in from each end. But the new thing is pex fittings. Those are so tight you can use them for gas. I redid all my propane lines in stainless with ward-flex last year. The only problem with that is you have to ground to a circuit box, and cannot use a copper rod 4ft into the ground. I did not like the old copper lines.

Kids are great,
Reminds me of a friends son (now married himself with kids) when he was about 4. We had gone to the local pool and he asked to go for a pee. He father told him to get out of the pool. So the child did, and peed from the diving board. 'Look at me Daddy' ......so everyone saw. Worst thing was almost everyone at the pool knew his father.
