1. Pour bleach in the toilets and let it sit all day...the chlorine odor smells like you have been cleaning!
2. Schedule small chores when the system slows down. For example, when FR slows to a crawl I hit refresh and then dust all the end tables in the living room and family room.
3. Crock-pot meals, made early in the morning before the Rat lawyers start filing their injunctions, are impressive and will hold indefinitely. I prefer vegetable soup or chili, but others may have more glamorous recipes.
4. It is always better to get dressed BEFORE the rest of the family arrives home.
One word: sweats.
Loved that one! Spraying a little furniture polish in the air near the door always gives a hint of 'cleaning' also. I am doing chili myself.
Time for a humor break
Having grown up in a Democratic family I am in possession of a copy of the Democratic family voting rules.
Which are
Vote early and often
Help your ancestors with their voting. Especially the
dead ones.
Ancestors that have been dead less than 10 years
require the least assistance and rarely need to
be voted by absentee ballot. Often doing a poor
imitation of Janet Reno will convince the poll workers
you are your own Grandpa.
Ancestors with Great before their name are not under any
circumstances to be voted more than twice in any
given election.
However if the election is not a given they can be
voted up to and including 24 times each.
My only regret os I did not have thousands of "official looking" Democratic sample ballots printed with the party labels on the candidates reversed. They should have been printed and sent to every Democratic Precinct worker in the inner cities of Ohio. That's a toughie :-)
