Mud

water and earth make mud . . . what you do with the mud is what matters most Based on cliche, "Opposites attract." In astrology, I am double earth sign and my hubbie is double water. Very opposite in nearly everything! Jan. 5, 2018 for Silent One's Contest: Monoku 5: Cliche

Andrea, opposites do attract but sometimes it causes friction. But then making up is always fun. Congrats. John

Not only did we defy the odds, but the 50% chance of divorce, and that happens with couples who actually can agree on stuff!!!
