Oh. Motor-bikes...
Good Morning, TC!
Uggghhhh....make 'em do their OWN laundry!
LOL!
I'd rather they got in the shower, while I do the laundry. I'm sure they're going to smell awful. Funny, I always took a bath when I was camping, even if was just with a dishpan full of water. Of course, I also ironed when I was camping, so maybe I'm just weird.
TC, I mean this in the nicest way:
Ironing ANYTIME is a LITTLE crazy!
I miss the country.
When Caitlin would come home filthy from 4-H, I could take her round back, strip her down and hose her, and her nasty barn-boots, off before letting her into the house.
No neighbors for a half-a mile, and lots of trees and corn, so privacy was GREAT!
I'm trying to get her trained to at least leave the boots on the porch before she comes in here.
Yes, ironing is weird, I admit. Especially with a steam flatiron at camp :-).
I wish we had a mud-room or *something* to help keep the crud out. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard, "I didn't know my shoes were muddy!" I could hire a full housecleaning staff!
I commiserate, I really do.
This place is ENTIRELY carpeted, too, save for the kitchen. THAT was carpeted when we bought it (Who the heck has a carpeted kitchen? I'm MESSY when I cook!LOL!) I made Daddy install Pergo in there ASAP.
Even the BATHROOMS are carpeted.
Working on him for tiles or laminate because I just do not see how you can keep a bathroom floor clean with kids and animals and men running around in and out there....
We moved into a place with carpeted bathrooms once. The first thing we did was tear out the carpet to install vinyl. It worked fine in the downstairs bathroom, but when we got upstairs, we found that, since the carpet was never dry, the subflooring had rotted out, and the whole bathroom was about to fall into the kitchen! We had to get two new layers of subflooring, and then the vinyl. At least (we said, as the costs went up and up) it was OUR subflooring!
I can't think of anything stupider than putting carpeting near a bathtub/shower and toilet. Haven't these people ever seen boys use the pot?
Ugggghhhh.
We bought our place from a little old widow lady with no grand-kids handy.
For HER, carpeting in the latrine was probably FINE.
(And if she was neater in the kitchen than me, carpeting in the kitchen may have worked, too.)
Oh well.
Got ceiling fans in most of the rooms, now.
that's a step up.
Kids,
Animals,
Men...
Uh-hunh, I see how we stack up in your estimation.
Males pose an obvious problem for the bathroom floors. My Bill cleans all our toilets and surrounding area with a good, strong disinfectant every morning!
We love you ALL!
But we DO know what you are like!
And i'll bet Bill is more careful because he does the cleaning!
I'm pretty well trained.
Almost house-broken, you might say.
And i'll bet Bill is more careful because he does the cleaning!
This is really weird. I haven't been able to get on FreeRepublic all day. Now that I can, the time is all wrong. All the posts say 12:28 PM etc. Is my computer going crackers? Or is this the twilight zone?
Yikes, the bright light is blinding me.
Next time don't forget to use the rub on tanning cream.
Looks like I got the last post ... in a manner of speaking.
Welcome back!
Hi sionnsar. I had some trouble getting here today.
Howdy.
