    It took a while to figure out those weren't mints in the urinals either.

    Mountain Mama - I read through this again. You titled the thread Why I Won't Survive...... I disagree. You did survive, and so did your family. You learned from things that went wrong. When things did go wrong you took corrective action that ensured all would survive. You will probably do things a bit differently in the future. The bottom line is that you did survive. Your family survived. You learned from your experience. I'd say all in all that you did well, even though your Mom instinct tells you different. Remember, survival ain't about being easy.

    Have you tried Kool Aid? I read in another thread that it helped with dishwashers, so why not urinals?

    Thanks, crash. I did learn quite a bit on the trip (not to keep all the meds together in the same place or ask another child to dispense them, even though the med bottles were clearly marked for differentiation) and even got a reminder on stuff I knew but disregarded (like leaving food in a tent). We will be taking lots of weekend outings/camping trips throughout the summer, but it will be in my neck of the woods where I feel much more comfortable. Consequently, we might not even take a tent on a few. Practice some of our more primitive skills, etc. Not exactly a survival situation when you are that close to home and have nothing to fear.

    customers don't want to pay for kool aid they pay for professional cleaning wiith a machine, now that said there is a chemical that does help prevent the build up of urine crystalization which i do sell to my customers. funny how they(customers ) think sometimes. i have fixed a problem with their plumbing w/o carrying in any tools and they get mad cuz i didn't carry in a tool box, guess they feel like they should have been able to fix it if i could but i tell them you are paying for my knowledge not my tools
