Oh, I loved it!!! Some of the best gifts I ever got - and the most useful.
Usually when the better half tries to buy me clothes or jewelry, he chooses
something that is (how shall I say this without sounding ungrateful?), not
what I would've chosen. So I'll either wind up taking it back or keeping it
for fear of hurting his feelings. With manure, he can't miss and everyone's
happy!
