My friend the bucket

Postby janbabe » Sep 24, 2007 9:17 pm

This is the only thing that raised a bit of chuckle from me while I was HGing, my DH named my green bucket that was my constant companion.
He called the bucket Justin, as in Just in Case :lol: . He even drew a face and a bowtie on Justin.

Anyone else name their buckets, or are we weirdos?!?!

I couldn't do the toilet thing as it only made me sicker as I thought about it...so I had a nice little blue trash can / bucket. His name was not as clever as Justin (that is a good one!)...but he had a name...just good ol plain "Chuck" was his name and boy did we get awfully close. I think that I bonded with him more than I have with anyone!

Mine was simply called 'The Bucket' everyone would be in a mad dash to "Get the Bucket!!!" When I had that look in my eye, or more importantly that sound in my throat.

I do like the name Justin (Justin Case)! Clever!

I use ziplock baggies. A bucket, or trash can would have become a trigger! LOL I can see my self at the store where I would have purchased the bucket standing in the aisle throwing up, LOL.

What cute names you all have for your special friends, LOL!
