Not sure why it's showing up in that wierd way (at least on my screen), but it is.  I thought I followed the directions.  Apparantly the Chordie genies are requiring some sort of sacrifice from me I have yet to provide.

Well, if it's wierd and never happened on a computer before, it's sure to happen to me.  That may explain my VERY short tenure as a computer repair center manager...

Thank you James.

There was another verse I meant to end with, the ending of which was

"If it keeps up, I don't know what I'm going to do.
What'd I just step in?  Oh no, it's #2." 

But I didn't spend the effort to work out the first half of the verse.  It was getting late and the dog had to go out and there was a screaming girl with drippy training pants in my den...

Hi Zurf,
I laughed all through that. I Know I know.. My old Jack Russell "Lady" is beginning to have wee accidents.
She refuses to look at me when this happens. Totally ignores me untill its cleaned.
My Kids are grown but i remember the days.. My biggest  problem now is dog hairs A small price to pay for  having my dogs.
Dont fret, You make 3 homes in a lifetime. The first with you and your wife. The second when the kids are midway,  the 3rd when they leave.  By that time your eyesight fades, your nose goes Kaput.  These things just dont reach top of your daily chores in the latter years.      Just get rid of the carpets.  There a pain.

Old Doll.

Now Old Doll, how can I not fret?  I play a guitar!  Of course, I could play my fretless bass and avoid the fretting. 

Thanks for the encouragement everyone.  This is just the way it is.  We got one girl potty trained about the time another came long.   It's been seven years of diapers and pull-ups and the dog just keeps getting older.  Life goes on.  It's good for the spirit to be humbled by things we can't control.  This is one of them.  I'll just keep investing in incense, steam cleaners, and enzyme solutions to remove the odor.   It reminds me of one fellow I worked with a long while ago.  He had seven children, each new one coming along about two years after the one before it.  Well, one day, this fellow was so happy.  Normally he was pleasant, but this one day he was just ebulient.  So, I asked him what was making him feel so good, and he told me.  He said, "Yesterday was the first day in fourteen years that I didn't change a diaper."  Now I understand.

Hi Zurf - My day started with an Excremental Tri-fecta . . . one of our big dogs (170 pound 5-year old English Mastiff) must have eaten something very nasty.

Urine, vomit, and diarrhea artfully splattered all about.  I couldn't face it right away . . . poured a big cup of coffee, went outside, read the funnies, got my courage up and then went back inside to do battle with the elements.

The poor dog is doing better now - - - he slept all day and was able to eat a little food this evening.  I'm not giving him full rations until I know he's better!

Just laughed my head off reading that post James McCormick.

Artfully Splattered LOL.  One of my busiest work times is christmas.
Christmas week 06  I had everything in order in my house. Lady the jack russell
loves being washed and pampered. Hops back into her bed delighted with life.
I guess its her age!
Ben my beautiful  black hairy hound doesnt like it at all. He disappeared from the house. 20 minutes later he arrived back smelling like a dung house. He had rolled   Himself all over in horse / cow shi# in a field near. I thought the quickiest way to deal with this was wash him in the shower as i had visitors arriving.
Popped him in  the shower stall and hit the on switch.
i never did look at the settings. Well the water was to hot and he bolted from the shower stall and the shock of to hot water.
He stood in the middle of the bathroom and shook his long coat vigoursly.
I nearly passed out as i watched newly decorated soft cream walls being splattered with  greeny  watery dropletts. Hundreds of them. I remember sitting on the floor of my bathroom wondering will i let myself have the nervous breakdown i felt rapidly coming on, while my beautiful mutt was looking at me totally perplexed.
He { Ben was taken to the yard and hosed down, while i told my guests on arrival
" If after using the bathroom they wanted to hear a shitt# story just ask !

Ps James! "Hows Mazie and the other Artist ?
