Housekeeping Tips

Tomorrow I will do the housework, NO EXCUSES!!! (unless they're good ones)

1. It is time to clean out the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside.

2. If it walks out of your refrigerator, let it go!

3. The best mini-vac for an after meal clean up is the dog.

4. Keep it clean enough for healthy, dirty enough for happy.

5. Never make fried chicken in the nude.

6. Do not engage in unarmed combat with a dust bunny big enough to choke the vacuum cleaner.

7. You make the beds, you do the dishes, and six months later you have to start all over again.

8. If guys were suppose to hang clothes up, door knobs would be bigger.

9. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

10. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

11. Simplify... hire a maid.

12: My second favourite household chore is ironing. My first being Hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.

13. I'm not going to vacuum 'til Sears makes one you can ride on.

14. I am a marvellous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.

15. Cobwebs artfully draped over lampshades reduce the glare from the bulb, thereby creating a romantic atmosphere. If your husband points out that the light fixtures need dusting, simply look affronted and exclaim, "What? And spoil the mood?"

16. When writing your name in the dust on the table, omit the date.

17. If dusting is REALLY out of control, simply place a showy urn on the coffee table and insist that "THIS is where Grandma wanted us to scatter her ashes..."



Just me, trying to be helpful.

Karen...just too much history to go into...suffice it to say that we children were not behaving appropriately according to mommy & daddy.

The only real rules here are not to denigrate individuals...repect opposing views...remember that we are all people with equal rights to points of view...& don't kick sand in anyone's face!

And, of course, bring your own libations...

what's a Freddie Fuddpucker?

I don't need help to be snarky or sarcastic -- on the contrary, most of the time I have to hold my tongue and concentrate on NOT being snarky, cuz just about everything other people say is a straight line for me....

The quickest way we could get this thread removed is if we all drank two or three Freddie Fuddpuckers, then started a posting regimen.

It might not last long, but it would be so sarcastically funny we could probably do a Reality show and get paid to be snarky.

Bee: oh I mean Miss Bee, I don't think Ms. Floss sounds very flatering, unless I was a bunny or something! I feel like I should have G.U.M. written accross my forehead too!! Are you from the South? I hear that they call the women Miss.

Wine time is anytime!

And aside from not having any added froo froo calories...the medical folks keep telling me that a glass or 2 a day is beneficial - at least the red wine.

Part of the Mediterranean diet, don't ya know!

I don't need to feel sorry for myself anyways. Is that dumb thread of mine still up? if Joy gets wine, I get a tropical drink with good rum in it!!

Here are some comments made by sports commentators that I'm sure they would like to take back:

Weightlifting commentator at the Olympic Snatch and Jerk Event: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."

Ted Walsh - Horse Racing Commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."

Grand Prix Race Announcer: "The lead car is absolutely, truly unique, except for the one behind it which is exactly identical to the one in front of the similar one in back."

Greg Norman, Pro Golfer: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."

Ringside Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries and even some deaths in boxing - but none of them really that serious."

Baseball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."

Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."

So...as this is my favourite sandbox (SU)

I decided to restart my favourite thread...

Now...the sandbox has rules...no kicking sand in anyone's eyes...& SU members welcome...& no running to mommy & daddy if you don't like someone's tone of voice...suck it up or find another sandbox!
