Frodo at Texmoot sounds like fun. If he makes it up to RI to visit Seamus before Entmoot, I could meet up with Seamus, pick Frodo up, and bring him with me on the train to Entmoot.

Maybe, but if it makes me stay on top of the house cleaning, it will be worth the brainwashing! Somehow, I didn't inherit my Mama's cleaning genes.

It was very casual and not at all aggressive in nature though!

I'm not gonna talk my way out of this one, I know. ;-)

Good morning everyone... glad you all liked the statistics. I plan on doing some better formatting to the webpage I put up, to make it easier to read; also, now that I have a method worked out, I may go back to the previous threads and give them the same treatment.

Also, at some point I do believe we surpassed The Neverending Story in total number of posts; I'm going to try to figure out when.

To answer some of your questions... I didn't ping the Admin Mod, or JimRob, or He Who Shall Not Be Named to the final count. I figured they didn't want to be bothered...

And yes, that was the first time JimRob had posted to any of the Hobbit Hole threads; JohnRob has posted before, and so has the Admin Mod actually, but not JimRob.

osagebowman: Argh was due to win that title by a longshot, but he actually didn't post during a couple of weeks!

Hope everyone has a good day... I think we may put up a Christmas tree today!

I like your new format!

I'm glad I was in the top ten overall. Makes me feel productive.

Mmm, Chinese food!

Thanks!

The only thing I don't like about the webpage is that the tables extend too far to the right... I may break them in half to make them easier to read.

LOL! It may be a cult, but I'll tell ya...it's been FIVE WEEKS since I started this endeavor and my house has NEVER been clean for this long. Never. A week...maybe. But then the dishes would start piling up and the dirty laundry would be in great big heaps and I'd never know where any of my clean clothes were...

This is heaven. Everything in it's place. I've got a load of clothes on the line and a load of linens in the washer and the dishwasher is just finishing up it's cycle.

The furniture is dusted, the carpet is vacuumed, the kitchen floor is so clean that I actually let Joshua play with his Hot Wheels on it and there isn't a fingerprint on any mirrors or glass doors.

And it's not HARD! It's easy!

I was really sinking in despair over this...I think it was a lot of what was making me sick all the time. And now I enjoy spending time in my actual house, which means I'm spending less time in the Hobbit Hole...which is a good thing, if you understand me.

I think one of our "Beacons of Restraint" blew a fuse...
