_True Story_ I just had to have my sewer line replaced due to tree roots. My lawn was destroyed. The dirt, clay interspersed lightly with merde, was rocky and damn near impossible to work with. I’m just spent a huge fortune on lawn work, partly because any shoes I wore when I worked smelled like human crap when I was done. Fantasy Be Damned; That Sh-t STINKS!!! (slap them Both off the bowl when they are done…) ---

On the bright side, your lawn is going to be fantastic. ---

Hell, back when I had a semifunctional uterus and was having a horribly bad body day he even changed out my tampon and pad more than once. :smack: That’s love. Also disproves that stupid stereotype that a woman need merely mention menstruation to render any men in hearing range catatonic with discomfort. It’s just something that womens’ bodies do. Human bodies do icky things sometimes, but you learn to deal. Changing your tampon cannot have been any worse than changing a diaper.
