I love love love Shania Twain.

Sure, it’s inappropriate. But also pretty easy to navigate. Just don’t join her in the grousing, make polite nods, and then roll your eyes when she’s gone away. Pretty typical in-law stuff IMHO.

In the world of in-law sins, complaining about the spouse ranks pretty low. Let the old woman vent.

If it were only that simple.

You’re an idiot if you think wiping or washing gets rid of literally millions of microscopic organisms.

You’d be surprised how many fecal particles are all over the place, even if you think you’ve cleaned yourself.

UTIs exist because sex in all its forms is Satan’s dirty, disgusting, and evil work and treatment should not be covered by insurance because women will continue to be promiscuous if they can get easy treatment.
