That "Girly" soap is going to put my kids through college. Why don't you go all the way and use a plastic mesh 'scrubbie' to give yourself a good scouring. Go back to your Avon roots and get a little Wild Country or Hisstory gel soap. That's what I use.

Both Shelley and I are fortunate enough to have great examples long-term marital commitment in our Grandparents. My Dad's parents were married 65+ years, Shelley's Dad's parents were married almost 60 and here Mom's parents are still going strong at 66+ years.
Movies like the NOTEBOOK build on those examples for me and are wonderful in that they present a moral challenge to everyone regardless of their faith. It inspires us to dedicate our life to someone else not only out of a sense of duty or obligation but from the most powerful motivator of all - selfless, unconditional love.

That movie creates a desire in me to develop my character to the point that I will be just as selfless, loyal, and loving as the husband. To the point of willingly giving my life or rather living my life for my wife when we are old. Dying for her would actually be easier than standing by and being with her as her earthly coil fails. I pray that as men we would develop the courage and character required to stay an live a life of self sacrifice if/when it is demanded of us.

So as unmanly as it may sound I really enjoyed that movie and would watch it again.

Man-soap in liquid form is something I tried last year. The problem was the Coushy Thing! My skin was always raw! I went to work looking like I had been in the sun all day I was so red!

Drakkar. I have an old bottle of that stuff too.

Dan, I want to encourage you to look into the manly scented liquid soaps. I for one enjoy the old spice liquid soap with the "coushy thing" I do not feel like any less of a man for using it. I also have had to "cross over" to the pink soap a time or two. I must admit I do feel a little funny during the fresh flower soaping, but always seem to get some nice compliments later on that day. Good luck, I hope they come out with the Drakkar Noir scent, I will be all over it.

Pauly:

I call that the "floor saturation factor" or FSF for short. I believe it's directly proportional to the water pressure plus the distance of the bathroom cabinet from the shower divided by the density of the man-soap...

I can't tell you how many times I've practically done the splits trying to keep one foot in the shower and one on the tile floor in an effort to minimize the FSF.

The mystery continues ...

I would like to thank you for the brief glimpse into the psyche that is Dan. We all have these thoughts but few if any can bring them to life like Dan Thompson.

I will never look at the smelly liquid soap of my wife the same way again. I would also like to ask why so much water gets on the floor when you only get out of the shower for a second to get another bar of soap?

One of lifes many mysteries!!
