My DH & his buddies are together almost daily & they talk about their wood cutting for self & neighbors in need or gardens..literally, The primary 3 have several gardens scattered around over the area. some are helping older folks out & some are for our families use & neighborly sharing + donation to a Boys Ranch. Complaints my husband would have are I shop and baby my 54 pound puppy too much. However if any wife finds a good deal on something, we'd better call in to see if the other families want us to pickup a bargain for them too. Our men actually brag on the wives' bargains & Swap recipes for US to cook.
Back to bath issues, at one point early on I tried reverse bathroom etiquite on my DH. For a few weeks I actually 'Raised the Seat' when I left the master Bath, point being as I told him, It's was as easy for me to raise the seat as it would be for him to lower it, so I would be the one with the responsibility of seat placement..What a deal he thought - until one early AM 'call' & he FELL IN behind first! For one of us it was magically histerical!! Now that the kid's have moved out I took over their bath since it's right across the hall from my office and he has the master bath. Boy did I take over, it's painted a deep dusty rose w/ polished brass fixtures, a lace shower curtain & plush southwestern rugs. Along with other accessories that Scream, Put the Seat down a lady controls this room. The boys think it's awesome, since their, respective GF & wife also use it. BY evolution those boys DO lower the seat & change the TP rolls. I'm so proud. wink
