Hello Dgrin'ers,

I have been very busy for the past few weeks "De-bachelorfying" (completely renovating bathroom, painting the rest ect) my apt. in anticipation of the arrival of Dani and have had very little time for fun. On Sunday I managed to get away for a brief time and took this, my favorite butterfly, the monarch.

    If you've ever accidently sat on (or maybe that should be 'in') the toilet while the seat was up... you would understand!!!! umph.gif

    Girls. Always annoyed by such small things. Do we care if they forget to put the seat up? Nah, we just aim a little better. mwink.gif

    Great shot BTW, AJ.
    enjoy being here while getting there

    Laughing.gif Dani,

    While I will concede that you folks of the fairer gender always have to sit, I think this excuse is overused rolleyes1.gif I mean come on. We have to sit every now and then too and have you ever heard a guy make this same compliant? I'm thinking you haven't. There are 2 possible explanations. One, we may occassionally fall in too, but we are just too embarassed to own up to it (us guys don't do well talking about our feelings, especially the cold wet butt cheek feeling lol3.gif ) Two, we usually look before we leap, or in this case before we sit.......lol


    While I've got to sympathize with you ladies, you need to look at it from our point of view. Imagine being able to do your business standing up and not looking to see if the lid is down :yikes You're right. Not a pretty visual, is it? :lol


    J/K you :D I wish you two the best and hope that the biggest problem you guys encounter is the "lid/seat" problem thumb.gif
