I was full of...: I'll try to be delectable and not say a crude word with the same number count as snow. I just can't go unless I have the special brand that doesn't tell me I have hemorrhoids. So I just hold and spray something scented masking my trumpet and say, 'it's the furnace again,' if the sound's too loud or repetitive. I believe this is in some book of etiquette.

Well, to flush this out, a picture of Mr. Whipple on my reading room wall was the road to my redemption. Any paper, anytime. So what about hemorrhoids.

I'm suddenly feeling an urge to clean the bathroom...
ELLEN B. Nov 13, 2008, 8:53am EST
Very "touching" William. You do have that mind, that WILL go where the rest of us will not go. Great ah imagery here, and I am sympathetic to your pain.:)))) Ellen B

William, you have a thing about bathroom time, don't you? LOL. I hope there are two bathrooms in your house.

Lynn, Yes, we have two bathrooms and outdoor shrubs.

I really think they should pay you for advertizing Charmin. To eliminate your problem, get a bottle of Citrate of Magnesia, start drinking and within 5 minutes you will be sitting on your favorite chair for a day or so . Hugging your Charmin.
Donald M. Nov 13, 2008, 1:26pm EST
Men need redemption, They can hug a tree but women have to be prim and proper.
Oh am I in a good mood today. The sun just started shining , the birds are chirping and all my cats are on the porch screaming for food.

Hah! Anybody who can get bowel movements into a 100-worder post and make it sound like dinner table conversation, has got talent!
Good on ya, William.
elizabeth e. Nov 13, 2008, 4:49pm EST
Oh William...you nasty boy....hold on to your bathroom talk! You would NOT be allowed in my kindergarten.
Marge H. Nov 13, 2008, 5:09pm EST

Elsie Duggan Nov 14, 2008, 1:23am EST
Worst of your stories William, you put them in my mind, and this sight is something to behold, maybe we should take up a collection for you and all send you Charmin, you need lots of fibre and water to get rid of the hemorriods, Oh, the picture!!!
sheila h. Nov 14, 2008, 3:32am EST
I sure hope this had a 'happy ending' and it all worked out in the end..

What a funny take on that prompt!
Wilma M. Nov 24, 2008, 1:06pm EST
I'm going back through your older posts to see what I missed when I was out of town or too busy for Gather (if you can even visualize such a state of affairs.) I would get so much more done around here if I put a lock on my computer room door and gave someone else the key. I can be walking by doing something else and the computer FORCES me to come in here!
