The handshape was the only question that I had. Although Stefan's point about the single stem arrow is valid, what you had is not wrong. :-) 

Stefan, sorry about not using graphics to show what I mean. I am sending emails from my phone, so I can't send graphics. That is why I was using words to discribe what I meant. Yes, graphics would be better, and I wish that I could. :-)

PS Val, I am also surrounded by the fires, but safe at the moment.

You are absolutely right, I need to fix that.  If you can follow the movement otherwise, let me know.  That was my error.

This isn't top view.  This is the NOSE line, not the top view line.  The hand faces the nose and then twists on the wrist a quarter turn.

pee
piss, urinate
to urinate, expel urine.

Hello everyone -
As you know I live in San Diego, and San Diego has wild fires right 
now. My home is safe at the moment, but I do have some friends 
staying with us who had to evacuate their home...we are watching TV 
to see if their home will burn or not...it is an incredible 
experience which is a repeat of the Cedar fires back in 2003...when 
we went through something similar...

Since I work out of my home, I am thinking through what hard drives 
to take with me if we have to evacuate too...but I doubt that will be 
necessary...The air is thick with smoke and raining ashes...

Anyway, thank you, Yaelle, for your message below...

Again, I need to ask you...what do you mean by English signwritings? 
British Sign Language, or Australian Sign Language, or American Sign 
Language?...all are different signed languages located in English- 
speaking countries...

If you mean American Sign Language, then look under TOILET in the ASL 
SignPuddle...that might be the sign you are looking for...or BATHROOM 
maybe...

Val ;-)
