Don't Flush!

Connie and I are pretty conservation minded. We recycle. We turn off lights. We don't waste water.

One of the ways we save water is by sharing flushes. If one of us is in the bathroom, and the other needs to use it, we call out, "Don't flush!" We have low-flow toilets, but still, a couple gallons is a couple gallons.

It occurred to me the other day that we probably say "Don't flush" more than we say "I love you." Does that seem wrong to you?

So we've now started saying, "Don't flush! I love you!" Is that better?

Sometimes I wonder what people would think if they heard us in the car or at home when we're alone. I'd be committed for sure.

That is absolutely terrific!
I love it.

"Don't flush, I love you!"

Genius.
And yes, I think it's way better.

Hope everything has been circling well in your neck of the woods, Dave. Heh.

Mary's back! :)

Things are doing great here (as long as the fires don't shift in our direction). Having a new house keeps you very busy. Did you know that? Heh.

I'm all for conserving water and sharing liquid flushes. Just don't ask me to share solid flushes.

My sense of smell is exceptionally acute. If our neighbors across the alley happen to burn their toast, I can smell it. If someone lights or smokes a cigar/cigarette within 100 yards of me, I can smell it --- even if I'm driving at the time with the air conditioning on and the windows closed.

So, please...if I'm next in line and you think that yours does or doesn't smell, "Flush and light a match for me, I love you!"

LOL Great one, growabrain. Here's that address as a link: Texas Humor

My olfactory is probably as sensitive as yours, Candace. But I'm pretty tolerant of what I smell. :)

Thanks, Dave. I'm back, and now I'm gone again for vacation! Details at my place.
Bye. :)
