Cleaning is pointless in my house. The toys come out just as soon as they get put away.

I think that about mine. I mop and dog muddy prints go everywhere. I dust and vacuum and the dogs track everything back in and get everything dusty. I wash clothes and get jumped on. I buy something new and it gets torn right away. Pretty much I need to live in a cave near a hot spring.:lol:

:lol: you were hoping for a "this will get better?"
Because it won't.
They get older and just flat out refuse to clean their stuff. Even grounding didn't seem to phase mine. Their rooms looked like tornadoes. Tif's...man oh man. There are just no words....

What we did was to assign the basement rec room as their toy area, with none allowed in the rest of the house, other then quieter stuff in their bedrooms. It worked great, they quickly learned their boundaries. Other friends adopted the same idea and love it too, though some of them used another space if they didn't have a developed basement.

All it took was stepping on a piece of Lego in the middle of the night, and waking the whole house up with my blood curdling yelling and cursing, to get me to decide on this plan. :lol:

[mtnphtgrphr]

I don't have a basement :oops: :oops:

[BearLeeAlive]

If anyone is interested in playing Scrabble, I am in. Send me an invite. Take advantage of my 2 game winless streak started by a thorough trashing from our resident mouse. :D

[BearLeeAlive]

I don't have a basement :oops: :oops:
Dig one. :p
That is one bonus of living around here where the frost goes down a ways, every house has a basement that can be developed, adding lots of usable space to a home at a much lower cost then building out.

Do you have a separate room of any kind to commit to the boys?

So, when they moved out, you got furkids? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I've never had a human child, but about 25 years ago I had two cats, two dogs, two rabbits and two parakeets sharing a one bedroom apartment with me. I've had an ever changing roster of furry and feathered friends ever since then, letting that dwindle to only two cats for a brief four or five months a couple times (when I adopted Ashley, and again when she died).

I gave up trying to keep things clean at home decades ago! It just ain't gonna happen. If you drop by unexpectedly, it would be a miracle if this place is even presentable! :lol: :lol:

As it is right now, I'd be letting the Bissell Spot-Bot do a little scrubbing from Minnie's latest "accident" if I didn't have to get my beauty sleep...

[short5]

Yo, stopping in for a sec. Lots of snow here.
You get snow Jon? Really should you need something I will be around in 4x4 mode just give a call or text.

[FocalPrincess]

Hi All. How much ya got so far Zane? We've got maybe 1/2 an inch, but it only started around 4.

[gjl711]

They were trying to scare us earlier but now are saying it will be in inch or so. Looks like you east coasters are taking the big hit for the rest of us.

[thomascanty]

*jealous*

We're only getting rain here. Our winter temps are over and it's currently 56F outside. That means this storm is washing away most of that good looking snow in the lower and mid elevations of the mountains that are near me... :( I'd been hoping this winter would be another repeat of last year's...

[short5]

Diane, I would say 3 inches and its coming down fast. A bit south and east of here has blizzard warnings overnight.

Oh, I fully expect things will not improve. I shouldn't even have bothered cleaning up their toy area as it's the weekend but I do like to vacuum it once in a while. :lol:

[short5]

Gotta go *poof*

:lol:
I steam cleaned the carpets today while the dogs ran in and out through the dirty yard. :lol:

I've gotten to the point where I don't care about the dirt, as long as it's clean dirt. :lol:

I was steam cleaning for the 5 non-housebroken dogs we've had here in the last week. As long as that is clean... I don't even care about dirt anymore. :lol:

[Jon]

Yo, stopping in for a sec. Lots of snow here.
You get snow Jon? Really should you need something I will be around in 4x4 mode just give a call or text.Maybe 5-6" - been coming down since about 10:30 but wasn't even sticking on the grass, let alone the streets, until 1 PM or so. I think we're good. Just cleared the front walk and it's not all that bad so far, despite what the newsies are saying. Not even windy. We may be in a lull ATM. My parents called (SE PA) and they've only got maybe 1/2 in.

Hi All. How much ya got so far Zane? We've got maybe 1/2 an inch, but it only started around 4.
I've got that much ice accumulation! I'm waiting for our power to go... it's made a couple of 30-90 second long blinks off.... Brrrrr! It's hovering at 32 right now....

We're supposed to get another wallop of winter stuff tomorrow!

[Woolburr]

:-| I think I need to stop catching up...

I bet my childhood bedroom would have put yours to shame! Heck...my adult bedroom might!

[Skrim17]

tbh, I NEVER watch scary movies. I'm such a baby. I don't read scary books either. But I kept seeing commercials for this so I thought...what the heck. I've been known to turn the channel when the commercials for the scary movies come on...

[cfpackerfan]

Do you use peroxide instead of water?? :D

Do tell!

I use some carpet cleaner stuff, and about half 'kids and pets', and half water.

[Skrim17]

* 12 oz. 3% hydrogen peroxide
* 1/2 teaspoon dishwashing liquid soap
* 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

magic!

[cfpackerfan]

* 12 oz. 3% hydrogen peroxide
* 1/2 teaspoon dishwashing liquid soap

magic!

Dishwashing soap? For the carpets? Doesn't it get sticky and attract dirt later?

[Skrim17]

1/2 a teaspoon isn't much, you could use less. Or you could use this as a pretreat for the particularly icky spots.

[Chet]

<sick

[Skrim17]

and?

[BearLeeAlive]

<sick
Yes, we had that figured out quite some time ago. :p

[FocalPrincess]

Not even gonna click, that kinda stuff creeps me out.Ditto that! I won't sleep for a week.

tbh, I NEVER watch scary movies. I'm such a baby. I don't read scary books either. But I kept seeing commercials for this so I thought...what the heck. :lol:You're cwazy. I'm a wuss. I'll admit it.

Eli and I just went for a walk and did a snow dance, it is bound to start soon!!

[Permagrin]

Just got home with Hale. Well she record barfed in the car today. Poor Dan. (his car)

Her elbow is quite swollen but they took 2 pins out (they are like nails!) and said her leg has healed well. She's on crate rest for a couple of days (no :confused:sedatives) and has to go back next Thurs for a check and then in 2 weeks to get her stitches out. The big thing is that she's supposed to be calm when NOT on crate rest....yeah.


Dan will probably take photos of the pins later :lol::lol:

:-| I think I need to stop catching up...


LOL!! Hi little!

[JWright]

*sigh*

Cleaning is pointless in my house. The toys come out just as soon as they get put away.

I completely and totally feel your pain!!!! And my boys are old enough to help and it still doesn't stop it from happening!!!!

One of our tenants has two boys, nine and four. The backyard hasn't been clean since they moved in...

It hasnt gotten this far south yet...

I bet my childhood bedroom would have put yours to shame! Heck...my adult bedroom might!

You should see my office...

[cfpackerfan]

Lisa, I like scary movies as long as they aren't gory. (gory movies aren't scary, they're stupid and gross)

Love paranormal movies. Intense movies. Whatever.

Now that you know that...

My kids told me not to watch paranormal activity.

Josh walked out of the theater while watching it.

They rented again later to see if they could watch it all the way through, and they did... but said that the ending was crazy stupid.
That if you're going to sit through a movie like that, it shouldn't end the way it did.


Just fair warning. :lol:

My big girl leaves for 10 days at Disney World tomorrow. W/o me. :-| :shock:

Seasoned parents...do you drink your way through the experience, or what? How do I deal w/this one.
Hmm. Well ther is...no, that is for diaper rash....*thinks* !! Oh yeah, try 3..cwap, nope that is for breaking curfew...

Drink. It has worked for hundreds of years.
1/80 sec, f4, ISO 1600, hand held....... 600L.

Nice!
Yeah....

http://lcimages.zenfolio.com/img/v2/p21528397-4.jpg
LMAO!!
Here's one try....

Nice PP Chief, on both counts!
Were going to share the lens. Say a few prayers that we get good weather tomorrow and Saturday....also, that if it rains, it will be when it's Chris's turn with the lens.
:lol:!
not that it's relevant to anything...but if the Dutch hadn't taken some coffee seedlings from Yemen (the Arabic world was not allowing any to be exported so I'm guessing they were smuggled) and planted them in their colonies, we would not have island coffees (my favorite) or any other coffee except from Arab regions....and we certainly would be paying oil like premiums. Thanks to them, there's a coffee belt all over the globe!

Good things the Dutch did us all that favor :mrgreen:


Go hug your Dutch friends for me, K? :lol:
<-----suddenly loves Dutch folk.

Hey...I just sailed past post #35,000 and didn't even notice.
Congrats, Chief!
True story: Yesterday I started up scrabble while eating breakfast like I do every day before work. My letters came up just like this in my tray: U R D E A D :shock:


FREAKY!

Turns out the Scrabble Gods are wrong.
GAH!!
Well, OK. The process has officially begun. I just started inking the first 12 frames of Monterey Jack. Just about another 900 to go. This will just fly by. ;)
*twirls*

:-| You all look away when that happens. M'kay?
It's funny, I drew the poster months ago, when I first started fleshing out the plot. Since then, Cat's in a different costume and I've studied bat's wings so Terri's wings look more natural. :roll:
HOCK!! I have batwings?!? LOL!
hahahaha I just found out that "youse" is allowed in scrabble hahahaha TERRI!! LOOK!! :lol:
Hahahahahahaha!
They weren't asking for my opinion, but I had to redo it. HAD to. That one was making me twitch. :lol:
It is interesting, what happens when a newbie gets to design an ad. Simple is best, you make great use of white space and nice, readable text.
Hola.

HALE IS FINE!! Surgery went as expected...no awful surprises. We pick her up at 5pm. We'll find out about the after surgery restrictions then.


Mailed the camera so it's on it's way.


Gonna drink tonight. Just sayin'. Gall bladder or no gall bladder. :lol:
YAY! Glad she is well!
TERRI!! I just bought a very scary movie (used $8. LOL) to watch with you when you are here for a few days. Mostly cuz Dan won't watch it with me and I'm too scared to watch it myself.
LOL! Honestly, Frankie is the horror movie buff. But I will watch with you.

Ooo.....arachnophobia? It? Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Anaconda?
Really? *narrows eyes and flattens ears*

It's getting released on DVD Tuesday I think! I LOVED the book... LOVED it... looking forward to catching the movie on DVD since I missed seeing it in theaters!

Well, we just got home from picking up BIL at the airport. We decided to stop at Bonanza for supper on the way home, but it was an hour's wait there. We decided instead to try a new place in town called The Tilted Kilt (http://www.tiltedkilt.com/). It's a sports bar that's a cross between Hooters and Brigadoon. Lots of cleavage, and the kilts the waitresses were wearing were, ummm, short.

Surprisingly, the food was really very, very good. They have several locations around the country, so some of you might already be familiar with them.

[FocalPrincess]

Hmm. Well ther is...no, that is for diaper rash....*thinks* !! Oh yeah, try 3..cwap, nope that is for breaking curfew...

Drink. It has worked for hundreds of years.

I intend to. Between my mother's wig out at the airport before they left and Blondie being gone 10 days....yeah.

And yes, I'll vouch for the mess in John's office. Although, its a controlled mess.

[FocalPrincess]

BTW for anyone that I might still have a scrabble game with...it won't let me in. :( I've tried a bunch of times. IDK what's up.

[Permagrin]

close your browser and open it back again. For some reason that works for me when I'm locked out. I don't reset anything, just close and open again.

[FocalPrincess]

Ok, I'll try that here in a moment or two! Thanks!

[Permagrin]

For those of you that I'm playing scrabble with...I'm just beat. I can't think. Tomorrow I'll go at them :)

The neighborhood dogs were noisy a bit ago and as I was talking to Curt just a few minutes ago I saw through our window a nice healthy looking fox take cover on the neighbor's front porch across the street and then went in behind their bushes. :D:D Very cool! If it snows you can tell their track by a single dotted line of paw prints.


*crosses fingers* Kirby gets his stitches out tomorrow. Here's to hoping that it's healed enough to leave the bandages off.
He has decided that he does NOT want it on anymore. And when I change it, he has almost a fierce need to lick his foot while the bandage is off.
Poor guy.

I used the last of all the bandage stuff too.. so I hope this one stays on till tomorrow morning. LOLKit are you familiar with/use vet wrap (http://www.amazon.com/Gifted-Horse-Vet-Wrap/dp/B0002V47L0)?




*worries that cape was forgotten*

I came back for it ;)

so some of you might already be familiar with them.

Curt is.:rolleyes::lol::lol: So is Aiden. And yes the food is very good. It has pretty much squeezed out Hooters as the place to go for lunch when we are in the area at noonish.

[CrazieCricket]

BTW for anyone that I might still have a scrabble game with...it won't let me in. :( I've tried a bunch of times. IDK what's up.
I've had that happen alot! But...

close your browser and open it back again. For some reason that works for me when I'm locked out. I don't reset anything, just close and open again.
I did that^^^^ and worked well!:D

[Becky N]

:D Very cool! If it snows you can tell their track by a single dotted line of paw prints.

Thanks, there are tracks out front of our house, I'll take a close look tomorrow. What I thought were cat tracks may very well belong to the fox. I'm thinking this may be the foreign poo Bax went for last weekend.:rolleyes:

Their scat often has hair in it and tight little twisted ends.
Looks like we may just get the two feet, plus, of snow they predicted.

Yes, that's what we use.

[FocalPrincess]

Zane, I am INSANELY envious of the snow. I know you think that's nuts, but...hey. I've got all the time in the world to play with the tractor this weekend. Hubs is working and I'm down a kid. :D

Sorry about my cryptic post earlier.
I got an E-mail from someone (sent through POTN) who was obviously unhappy with my criticism of the flyer for the paper.
So they chose to anonymously E-mail me and tell me what they thought.
Geez. You have every right to criticize it. You/H.A.R.T. is a part of it and as such you should approve of their advertising.

[Permagrin]

I am totally brain melting...watching the old Nancy Drew tv show. Hale's on my lap...I decided against drinking. I already have a headache :lol:

[Becky N]

Time for me to face plant on the pillow.

Later all.

[Permagrin]

night Sarge

[FocalPrincess]

I had to decide against drinking, so I'm watching TV dramas...since, you know, my life doesn't have enough of its own. Had to decide against because vodka and oj just isn't the same w/o the vodka.

[cfpackerfan]

...

[Belmondo]

I just made a batch of Pioneer Woman's salsa. It's easy, tastes very good, but is way too hot for my taste. I'll let it sit for a while and see if it mellows at all, otherwise, it's heading down the drain. I believe the problem is the Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies. I think two cans (per her recipe) are too much. I might start over, and only put in one can.

Otherwise, it's delicious.

Permie: I'm glad Hale is doing well.

[cfpackerfan]

Chief... the longer it sits, the hotter it will get.
Try adding more tomatoes.

Off to bed folks! We finished painting the office tonight! I love it! Can't wait to get all the other crapola done and bust out all my new toys!

Nighters!!!

(((((((((((((((((((((((threadies)))))))))))))))))) )))))))

[Belmondo]

Chief... the longer it sits, the hotter it will get.
Try adding more tomatoes.

Second batch turned out much milder...not nearly as hot, in fact not hot at all. I used only one can of the Rotel, and removed all the seeds and ribs from the Jalapeño pepper. I'll let both versions sit in the fridge overnight, then might try blending them together.

In her published recipe, PW used two cans of Rotel. One was the original version (pretty hot), and the other was the mild. Our local grocery story only had the original, so that could be part of the problem with my original batch, too.

Anyway, I figure by putting the two together in some combination, I'll have a winner.

[CrazieCricket]

Sounds yummy, Chief!:D

I would have sent them a two word reply: **** me!

I left after being 135th in line to see the prosecutor.

It is 2 points, I'd rather pay my insurance company off in installments than give the county squat. They were easily making well over 500k today without my input.

Hey Lisa!! Only two more days of the Druid look. What are we in store for after that?

[Permagrin]

oh wow, I looked them up.

My family use to do something similar with german sausage and sauerkraut. When my mom married my dad, dad preferred hamburger and sauerkraut.

That is not my recipe, but it's close.

We used to eat them as kids. Love them.

We've experimented with lots of different fillings. We're doing the original (beef and cabbage) and a vegetarian one (kinda like egg roll filling) this time.
