Your stories are always so realistic I love them and some of this had me literally laughing out loud into my cup of tea, never been a fan of Harry but you make me wonder if I'm being to harsh on him.

I read this when it first came out, when I was still terrible at reviewing-- even when I loved the fic (I'm working on it, getting a little better) but was forcibly reminded of it when I had to find it and read it again.

You see, my best friend had lost her dmv/smog check paperwork and yesterday was frantically looking for it in her car. I often tease her that her trunk (boot if your British/European) is like Moody's-- bottomless and filled with all sorts of everything. If anyone needs anything, she can find it in her trunk (or something that will work for the situation). Food, alcohol, clothes, shoes, tools, cookware, books, paper, art and sewing supplies, camping equipment, etc, etc. But when she got to a beach ball-- still inflated-- that she had no idea how it had got there (and no immediately known practical function), I just cracked up and thought of the man drawer syndrome.

I've sent her the link with a smile on my face. (oh, and the "pube pulling" in their playful antagonistic banter was fucking hilarious!) Oh, and I couldn't help but rec some of your fics I've read before-- and have obviously been so memorable to me that I recall them so clearly and fondly-- to someone else today in a completely different reference.... Jeez, I must be having a star-struck kind of day :) It's just that good!

Just thought you'd get a kick out of knowing your fic has a real-life application and your various fics are definitely worth re-reading and sharing. Please write more for us-- You rock! You've got a great sense of humor and an excellent style :)

LOL!!! This was great! I loved the banter between them, showing that they're still friends as well as lovers. Really liked it!

I think we are all guilty of hoarding all kind of odd junk that we will never use again. I simpathise with Harry, here, and with Ron!

It was very amusing, and quite hot. A very nice snippet of what their life together is.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA Man Drawer. It figures Ron would have one of those. My bf actually has two and is very possessive of them. Once when he was digging around in one and mumbling to himself, I asked,

"Hasss it found what it wantsss my preciousssss?"

He didn't think that was as funny as I did.

I will start reading your other stories as soon as I find a moment to myself.

Lady Zombie's friendly tip for the day: Never take a 5 year old to a Renaissance Festival without a package of wet wipes crammed in your purse. Elephant snot and caramel-ed fingers are an abomination unto nature.

Loved it. I love this Ron and snickered at his taking the full paid leave. I soooo get the menuses and odd junk. I enjoyed Harry's playfulness. Interesting that you have Ron the dominate more than Harry considering he isn't when he's with Severus. Nice!

"Indeterminable items of great importance" **snort snort

I never knew sex could be so funny - this was great and the bit about the measuring tape that wasn't right and Harry using it to measure himself was superb - This really was worth staying up past my bed time for **bows to the comic genius
