What is the name of the poop club?

  I’m not sure if we ever named the club you join when you take over toileting jobs for your loved one. 

   In any case I joined the club yesterday . I had been dreading it but actually it wasn’t so bad. I kept hearing various voices from here in my head ( white crane?) one said to just be business like  and have wipes and gloves at the ready. My husband wasn’t mortified, but he did say “ we always did do everything together “ and hugged me very tight after.  

   If there  is no club name, I would like to offer Butt Buddies LTD.  But feel to post any name you see fit. And also do we get reward points or something that we can accumulate ? Like Starbucks? I would like to offer 5 butt wipes and your entitled to a glass of wine. I think I will need some sort of incentive program going forward lol.

    Love your attitude!

    A tip shared...shaving cream is a great poop cleanser.

    The Dirty Turd of August

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq0ZGXf-pWs

    Well, today there's no salvation
    The band's packed up and gone
    Left me standin' with my penny in my hand
    There's a big crowd at the station
    Where a blind man sings his songs
    He can see what I can't understand
    It's the thirty-third of August
    And I am finally touchin' down
    Eight days from Sunday, Lord
    Saturday bound
    Eight days from Sunday, Lord
    And I'm Saturday bound
    Once I stumbled through the darkness
    Tumbled to my knees
    A thousand voices screamin' through my brain
    Woke up in a squad car, busted down for vagrancy
    And outside my cell it sure as hell
    It looks like rain
    It's the thirty-third of August
    And I am finally touchin' down
    Eight days of Sunday
    Saturday bound
    [Vocal stylings.]
    Now I've put my angry feelings
    Under lock and chain
    Hide my violent nature with a smile
    Though the demons dance and sing their songs
    Within my fevered brain
    Not all my God-like thoughts, Lord, are defiled
    And it's the thirty-third of August
    I am finally touching down
    Eight days from Sunday
    Saturday bound
    Eight days from Sunday, Lord
    And I'm Saturday bound

    Battlebuddy, this is hysterical! I love it. It is sooo helpful for me to take a humorous and lighthearted view on something that would otherwise always be experienced as just the opposite.

    Since the best group names have already been proposed (and heartily laughed about), I submit: End of the Story.

    Well since Wipers and Diapers was offered by Stool Pigeon ( your new nickname ) that would count as two votes . So Wipes and Diapers it is. I laughed out loud at all of them. And thanks for the saving creme tip! I ha forgot that one.

    LOL! I don't want to join your club, but if it comes to that, I'll have good company!

    Battlebuddy, I like your style.  Although I'm not the one who offered advice on toileting, I pay attention to all who do since I will probably join the club myself one day.  In advance of that day, I do have a pack of adult diapers tucked away and always have wipes on hand.  Hang in and keep your sense of humor as you travel this road.  I may be joining the wipers and diapers club too soon.

    I believe it’s called The Blue Glove Club. I’m an active member.

    Thanks,  Battlebuddy for the morning chuckle. I thought being in this club would be too much, but I’m surviving. Wipers and Diapers gets my vote.
