Thanks to Karl and Brandon we started the new retaining wall along Jefferson Street. It was great to have Karl and Emily, Brandon and Margie this weekend--lots of good food and eating on the deck. It was beautiful weather. Mom got sick on Saturday night. That was the only bad thing. Then I got sick on Tuesday at work and came home early for the first time ever. I slept for 13 hours and feel much better now. Margie and Lily left this morning, and the house is really quiet without anyone here. We could sure get used to having company more often. Wait--I didn't say that, did I? The "cutest" thing was that Lily left a little present for us. Picture to follow!

the wall looks good dad. the first thing i noticed was how green the grass was. i wish we had that here. i'm still waiting on my secondary to turn on. leaks upstream means i have to wait to water my lawn.
maybe when we are older we will all live a little closer together. it would be nice.
dad, when does your flight land in SLC exactly?

What's the proper way to refer to a single unit of defication? I mean, I think all we have is "turd" which is a word I'venever been fond of. I just don't think a more polite term exists for a single unit of poop.
Anyway, the point I wanted to make without sounding crass is that those are some big turds for a small dog. Remarkable.

stool. dook. lilly chips. fecal sample. turdlet. the brown surprise. poo poo. isn't there a thesaurus reference for this?

But there's a gramatical difference between "poop" or "feces" and "turd." "Feces," like "rice" is a non-count noun. You can't say two rice or four rice. You have to say two units of rice (i.e.two cups or rice, a pile of rice). "Poop" is the same way. "Turd" on the other hand, is like "Apple," i.e. they are nouns that can be counted.
"Chip" could be a count-noun, but I figure it's a specialized word specific to buffalos. "Stool" I'm not sure about off the top of my head. "Dook" is short for "dookie" which I believe is non-count. "Fecal sample" in this context sounds a little strange...then again this whole topic has gone a little scatological.
