Man, my freedom to lick doorknobs has been seriously oppressed for a long time now
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

(But also, fomite transmission is not a thing with this virus, letting people use your bathroom is fine as long as they don't lick the doorknob on the way in.)
I have a 5 year old. I can't guarantee no one is licking doorknobs.

That was a big part of my there-is-no-point-to-pooping-in-the-yard discussion I had with my mom. Though the problem is my stepdad, not my mom. He's a very smart man, but he's reacting out of fear, and that's a hard thing to get past.
But I would stop licking doorknobs if it meant I didn't have to poop in the yard.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
If you're watching the convention, tell me how Biden's speech goes. I'm too nervous to watch.

One of my friends just texted me "Biden is [3 fire emojis]," because I'm not watching, either. So -- 3 fire emojis seems pretty good.

Fingers crossed.

What is even happening?
The peeing in the bathroom wouldn't be a problem. The pooping is (possibly) a problem, because the virus has been found in feces, and the theory is that flushing can aerosolize it.
So, I wouldn't make someone pee in my yard, because what's the point. I wouldn't make someone poop in my yard, because OMG.
I would ask them to spray Lysol before and after, and to close the lid before flushing, and I'd ask them to open the window. Okay, I'd want to. I probably wouldn't.
Shut up. I'm not in Howard Hughest territory, Teppy. My nails aren't nearly long enough.

Cindy, I solemnly swear that I will never poop in your yard.

Damn straight. You can go to the yard of the lady behind us, who wouldn't let us get a pool when the kids were little.
(Per our town zoning, pools have to be behind the line of the house. We have a double lot, so all of our yard is really side yard. The lady is a nasty baggage. We couldn't get a variance, because we knew she'd fight it, and if any of your abutters don't approve the variance, you won't get it.)
