Since these WC forums have been a life saver for me, I feel obligated to offer this new service here first. Some of you are aware that we have a small fish pond in our back yard. We started with seven fish and are now down to five. None are from the original, but all but one are great-grand-fish! [tup]
Being the largest body of water within a few hundred yards/meters of our house, we have many visitors and usually a few "guests" that seem to stay year round. Last week, while we drained and cleaned the pond, I started a discussion with one of these semi-permanent guests.
My main concern was the night-time noise he created every Spring, almost always around bed time. He apologized and as a token of his appreciation for his room & board, he said he would be happy to kiss any lady who wanted to become a Princess or a gentleman with hopes of a kingdom.
I can not guarantee any success with his actions; I am only the agent/messenger. All I know is that my interactions have not resulted in any differences in my behaviors... ribbit ...at all. My appetite has changed a bit, I seem to crave more fresh protein. ribbit But, other than that, there's not much change in my activities, although I have joined a local long-jump team purely for the exercise of my legs. The only problem I've seen, and I can't be sure of the exact cause, but all my pant legs seem to be getting shorter. :o I suspect my wife has started using hot water in the washing machine...

As I don't "do" FB, I'm uploading a picture of my partner in this new endeavor:
