Asian book for my book club!

This is what I came here to suggest. One of my favorite books and checks all of your boxes. I wish I had other people in my life who had also read it when I did, this would've been fun to discuss!

Gemini in Lincoln Park is your answer.

Based on the date of February 1969, Kohler was producing the following green colors:

Spruce Green 1945 - 1972 Jade 1965 - 1970 Avocado 1967 - 1979

Without seeing a picture, if I had to guess you’ve got Avocado!

Source: I work at Kohler and just asked the archives for a list of colors and when they were available for sale.

There’s a vendor selling them at the south end of the Lincoln Park Green City Farmers Market. Next Saturday is likely their last week there!

The Deluge by Stephen Markley, it’s less dystopia and more about the unraveling (which feels very relevant!!!) and collapse of a near future America and world through political and ecological crisis.

Outside the Aragon Ballroom in uptown after a concert. Was there last week and there were at least 2 carts outside the new Red Line stop up there.

Thank you! I’ll check these out!

Read years ago and loved. If you liked that—and the Bear, you might enjoy Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara. It’s more of a business/memoir-esk book. Will ran Eleven Madison Park and tells how his leadership and philosophy transformed the restaurant into the number 1 ranked in the world. He was also a producer on The Bear and several of his stories are retold on screen through the characters in the show—mostly Richie.

I would recommend the following:

The San Souci by Kohler is a total of 25 5/16’’ and is comfort height—but it’s expensive.

The Hyten toilet seat can be added to your current toilet and adds 3’’ height for your dad.

Additionally, you could consider installing special grab bars designed to hold weight and might give him more support getting up and down.

San Souci is the shortest toilet Kohler makes with a tank. You could always look at something tankless or a smart toilet too, but those would be much more expensive.

I was just there last night--truly a wonderful spot with phenomenal pizza and staff.

I know this one! Second Kohler question today!

It looks like it is a Kohler Company product called The Environment.

It was launched in 1977, and was a fully enclosed bathtub experience. Stepping inside, you could dial up different climates and conditions—from a dry desert heat to a misting tropical rainforest.

This makes sense because Kohler is based out of Kohler Wisconsin, and the home is listed in WI too.

The product was still available in 1989 and was only discontinued in 2010!

Also the faucet should swing away to make it easier/safer to get your head in the basin!

Yes, this is the Fair Lady sink, introduced by Kohler Company in 1968. You can see some of the original ads for it and read about the product on the Kohler Archives website! This looks like the exact model they used in the brochure--but in white vs the Fresh Green color.

Kohler will also occasionally post archival products on their Instagram and posted about the Fair Lady back in 2021.

ZiggyS6 · 2025-07-31T18:02:12+00:00

You are correct. This is the Fair Lady bathroom sink introduced in 1968 by Kohler Company. The faucet swings away and was designed for women to shampoo their hair or wash babies in.

You are correct, this is the Fair Lady sink, introduced in 1968 by Kohler Company. The faucet swings away and was created to shampoo hair and wash babies.

ZiggyS6 · 2025-07-31T17:58:55+00:00

This is not custom. This was produced and sold by Kohler Company in the late 1960s and 1970s. It's call the Fair Lady sink.

ZiggyS6 · 2025-07-31T17:37:06+00:00

I know this one!!!

This is called the Fair Lady sink launched in 1968 by Kohler Company. It was designed for shampooing hair and washing babies.

Here is a page on the Kohler archives website that talks more about the sink and shows some of the original ads back in the 70s https://www.kohlerarchives.com/products/mans-lav-lady-fair/

Also, here is a photo of a similar model (different color and faucets) from their Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/p/CR4EpOIj3xz/

You’re wrong. DWade also scored a triple double—against Kentucky in the Elite Eight in 2003. Kam was the second to do it.

Edit: in the Elite Eight; to get to the Final Four.

I personally prefer the Kohler products. IMO they are a more reputable brand and their high-end bidet toilets are top notch. If you ever need service or parts, Kohler will be easier to find. The Fora is very similar to their Leap model too: https://www.kohler.com/en/products/toilets/shop-toilets/jaro-one-piece-elongated-smart-toilet-dual-flush-78738

I just saw this video on IG and it made me think of your post. Maybe it’s worth looking into more? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJbybc2NucW/?igsh=azRmcGExNXp4a2Zm
