Oh…and the Failure Continues.

The hubby has revolted. Now Mr. Needle is fair game for most of my ideas…for a time. And some he has even grown to love…like the Burt’s shampoo bar. Others…are facing a dim future. Yesterday he informed me that after a week of the 7th Generation paper…he was feeling assa need to go back to the good stuff. (Meanwhile there is an entire case of 7th is sitting in the hall closet…shhhhhhhhh.) I really thought I would crack first. After going through natural childbirth twice I kinda felt like my nether regions should be pampered forever, carried about on a silk pillow by several attendants….and yet I have not been crying at the bowl. I must have developed that infamous perineal callus of the eco wipers. Obviously I still have a case…literally a case to work with. Maybe he too will develop a quality ass scab.

*Oh and did I mention he went out and bought like 10 Scotchbrit sponges! He claims the avocado netting isn’t working. Good thing he is cute or the worms might be getting a little protein in their bin.

    You’re braver than I. I can’t quite manage the switch to eco-tp. I guess I haven’t developed the ass scab either, which by the way, wins for phrase of the day lol

    “perineal callus of the eco wipers”. Great name for a band.

    You can be really ambitious and switch to cloth wipes made from something soft.

    I use scratchy TP in our household but its not seventh generation, CVS has some eco friendly brand that’s cheap.

    And I have a failure to report…I am using some toxic brand of insecticide to kill flies. Nothing natural is working and I am going out of my mind with their constant buzzing.

    Just think of it as an exfoliant for your ass!!

    Wusses! We’ve been using 7th Gen for a year, and our asses are like leather, baby. Just kidding. I guess I’m just not that sensitive down there. Should I be concerned?

    Amy…Quality ass scab does seem like a fun thing to call a boss, no?

    Erin…I’ll buy your album.

    Beany…Sooooooo not going to happen.

    Arduous…my anus has been looking more radiant and youthful…it must be the new exfoliant. I can see the ads now. Maybe we can get Erin’s band to write us a jingle.

    Beth…You might just want to save that question for hubby. But I’ll get back to you in a year and see if I too can ride without a saddle.

    I’ve been reading about camping and read that sometimes campers have to rely on using stones and leaves to clean their ass and apparently if used properly its very hygenic. Perhaps you can threaten your husband about the stone/leaf method in an attempt to get him to switch to Seventh Gen? Imagine the ass burn with a rock!
