Excited to have seen the District 53 Toastmasters Speech Contest. Shout out to our Southern Berkshire Toastmasters contestant Dave Panitz, amazing speaker, runner and natural humanitarian, in the humor contest (about Auto-Correct with practical tips such as to turn off that option (love that tip) or step away and slow down and review before posting...)

Maybe the options for taking care of bodily functions could include allowing a commode in every room...and taking the 'outputs' to a lav on the hall and possibly recycling contents to give back to the earth what came from the earth.
