Guys - it worked!!<P>I told you they would all show up!<P>Jo - I can tell when Martha's been in my house - there's a slice of lemon in the dog's water.<P>Dave

Resilient, NO WAY you can keep taters from budding. I did not know that. Thanks.<BR> For the menfolk, any ideas on teaching a PRE-MAN ( BOY) Exactly WHAT the hole in his boxers is for ( he tends to drop trough!!! And for that matter, get him to use it???<P> OK the NON TouCHABLE towels issue for the bathroom, My opinion is this, I do not touch hubbies NEW graphite, bamboo, LL Bean, 3000, fly rod and use it for casting practice in the front yard, he better not use my new sage green, eygyptian cotton, matches<BR> the shower curtian, towels that took me a year to find that perfect color. LOL<P> Toilet seats, Heck I LOVE a good dunking in the wee hours of the Am when I have to potty and do not feel like turning on the light. It is invigorating to " splash down" in the am. Thats ok, I have figured, using the H's gym (clean) shorts to dry off the affected areas works for me LMAO.<P> AND those fishing and hunting issues, I have yet to see the elusive 14 point buck, nor the fish that was THAT BIG grace the threshhold of my home, but I am not giving up hope yet. But then again, when I come home from hunting and tell him I found it at 60% off, He still does not believe me, it is not a bargain, if I was not hunting for it to begin with. Example, coming home with rabbit, when hunting deer Is not REALLY hunting LOL<P> But to you men, that is why you are so dog gone adorable. You put up with all of us Martha wanna be's and still grill a mean burger LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!<BR>

Dave, et al.:<P>This is an age-old question. It goes all the way back to the caveman days.<P>The texts all state that cave men put pictographs on cave walls. This is an erroneous theory. Everyone knows that cave <I>women</I> put pictographs on cave walls in order to "decorate". Cave men had pin up posters of Rachel Welch in <I>1,000,000 B.C.</I>, of course, being paper, they did not survive prehistory.<P>The cave, after all, was just a place to crash. Life was simple: get together with the guys and go find a wooly mammoth to bash. There were no decorator towels and unusable French milled hand soap in the guest bathroom; there was no "good furniture" that you couldn't use after shelling out tons o' bucks.<P>All of these concepts were foisted on men by cave women and their descendants. Men are victims of a genetic conspiracy: what do you think that extra chromosome is that women have? It is the "domestication" gene complex. So men have been "domesticated" just like we did to various livestock (albeit, men domesticated livestock for a different reason: less time hunting, more time to invent the remote).<P>Women's designer/domestication gene gave rise to a plethora of new colors, for instance. Women, here's a clue: if a color isn't one of Crayola's original 16, it isn't a color. Watermelon and plum are fruits, not colors. (No wonder little boys get confused at times and are tempted to eat Crayons!)<P>So yes, Dave, go enjoy your vacation and re-establish those proper God-given traits with your son that God intended us to have. Mind the pointy curly things on the wooly mammoths.<P>Hopefully, Taz's domestication/designer gene will be on holiday as well.<P>[The armpit/fart technique: see, you women just don't understand: that is a wooly mammoth hunting call.]<P>Godspeed,<BR>STL<p>[This message has been edited by SeenTheLight (edited August 06, 2001).]

OMG! I am laughing so hard my sides ache!

Women don't belch or pass gas so they have to b*#$h, otherwise they would explode.

Guys--<P>Have any of YOU stumbled into the bathroom in the wee hours of the morning, not bothering to turn on the lights, go to sit down, and fall all the way in? Kind of like a bidet, only it's really cold and you are not expecting it. I am just wondering. . .it's happened to me too many times and I am still a good sport about it.<P>Toilet water is pretty chilly. . .that's why dogs prefer it to their bowl, with or without the lemon slice

^5, Berni.<P>Yes ... and I couldn't get out, had to have my husband pull me out ... ughhhh and ewwwwwww!<P>Jo

UH HUM still waiting for the " what to do with the hole in the boxers" advice. Come on there menfolk, I know you got an idea or two??? LOL

bidet? Oh... those things that are for cleaning your sneakers?<P>------------------<BR>Semper,<P>Husband2You<BR>*****<BR>Don't make me promises <BR>Baby you never did know how to keep them well <BR>I've had the rest of you <BR>Now I want the best of you <BR>It's time for show and tell<P>'All or Nothing' O-Town

tell him that is where the bull comes out of the barn at. The pasture is the pristene bowl. Tear off a piece of paper and tell him to sink it. Like the bullfighters cape.. you know.. the bull has to snort at it.. <P>------------------<BR>Semper,<P>Husband2You<BR>*****<BR>Don't make me promises <BR>Baby you never did know how to keep them well <BR>I've had the rest of you <BR>Now I want the best of you <BR>It's time for show and tell<P>'All or Nothing' O-Town

H2Y LMAO that was funny. OK, now splain to me why when you let the little boys pee on a tree, then you can never get them back to a bathroom. They seem to whip it out when the mood hits and have no shame about public peeing,m and the odd thing is that his father thinks it is great " thats my boy" But when our daughter wanted to do it it was TABOO. Gee I see a double standard here LMAO!!!!!!!!!

because watering the lawn and shrubbery is the MAN'S job! I don't think you really want him washing the dishes do you?<BR>------------------<BR>Semper,<P>Husband2You<BR>*****<BR>Don't make me promises <BR>Baby you never did know how to keep them well <BR>I've had the rest of you <BR>Now I want the best of you <BR>It's time for show and tell<P>'All or Nothing' O-Town<p>[This message has been edited by Husband2you (edited August 06, 2001).]

your right there, hence the broken China this morning, Could that have been due to the BULL reference?????????

Yes it is.. hence the proverb of the bull in a china closet.<P>------------------<BR>Semper,<P>Husband2You<BR>*****<BR>Don't make me promises <BR>Baby you never did know how to keep them well <BR>I've had the rest of you <BR>Now I want the best of you <BR>It's time for show and tell<P>'All or Nothing' O-Town

I smell a LOT of bull here ...<P>LOL!<P>------------------<BR>terri<BR><B>Courage</B><P>Whatever course you decide upon,<BR>there is always someone to tell you<BR>that you are wrong.<P>There are always difficulties arising<BR>which tempt you to believe that your <BR>critics are right.<P>To map out a course of action <BR>and follow it to an end <BR>requires courage.<P><I>Ralph Waldo Emerson</I>

All:<P>Tsk. Again back to our stone-age forebears. Peeing on trees marks territory. It serves as a warning to wooly mammoths (paleontologist-speak for hairy elephant).<P>Women, however (as aforementioned), have the "designer gene complex" ... part of which is tidier, lavender-scented toilet habits. Again back to the Stone Age: you can't run away from angry hairy elephants if your designer sabre-tooth furs are around your ankles. So, it isn't really a double standard: it is <I>care</I>, we are trying to protect you here--not really taboo, just looking out for your welfare and preservation.<P>Ahh ... sigh ... Darwinism at its best!<P>Godspeed,<BR>STL

Even in modern society, tree peeing works on so many levels. You save wear and tear on designer towels. Toilet seats aren't left up. Lot's of water is conserved. W's have got to like this. Easier living in today's world. Our yard is perfect for modern living like this, very secluded, lot's of trees.<P>--Jeffers

Alexy, bums tend to irrigate everywhere.. and I don't like going near their area.. so it seems to work. Maybe your husband and son are trying to tell you and the daughter that this is Dad and Son's play area..<P>Just a thought. On the other hand.. if the family dog see's us invading his territory... you must be careful.. he'll seek shelter behind his newly claimed sofa. <P><P>------------------<BR>Semper,<P>Husband2You<BR>*****<BR>Don't make me promises <BR>Baby you never did know how to keep them well <BR>I've had the rest of you <BR>Now I want the best of you <BR>It's time for show and tell<P>'All or Nothing' O-Town

Cracking up and on my way to MARK my territory, the furniture, the guest room and soaps, and the pool, by spritzing an ungodly amount of tea rose parfume EVERYWHERE. Top that gents LMAO!!!!!

ah... you forgot the most important spot.. right there behind your ear. Explain that...
