I said, "Gosh, I thought I was stressed you make me feel relaxed in comparison."
Don't know how all that reply came out wrong.

Good thing my stress is only short-term...nine months, I'd have no fingertips left...they'd all be disintegrated from cleaning supplies.

You replace the toilets? Are you serious? I didn't even replace the seats, but I'd think that would be sufficient.

100% serious.

I would be more concerned after your baby arrives ...dirty diapers to deal with...can't bleach them away

We used cloth diapers and a lot of bleach when we had our 1st!!!

I think I've always been obsessive-compulsive. Mom was always clean. She was a nurse so she insisted that her daughters were always clean.

You wouldn't know my habit by meeting me...

One thing that gives me the dry heaves is seeing a really gross lugie on the sidewalk...

Try to relax....
I'm really going to say goodnight now....(do you hear me daj...good night!!!)

It is awful. I have a really good memory for recall. If I see a lugie, I can remember its color, texture, etc...immediately my throat becomes dry and I begin to gag.

Don't they make a Roomba for this, yet?

A Boomba, perhaps?

I used cloth for a whole week.

I have an earthy-crunchy friend in Alaska who is doing cloth...she uses special detergents...and when she was menstruating, she used this plug contraption.

Good nite, KT gave you something to dream about..lugies

KT and her talk of cleaning is making me anxious.

KT, have you thought of duct taping yourself to a chair to give yourself a break?

Perspective?

man, are you sure the buyer will even be on the inspection? lots of them don't. The inspector will look at the roof, make sure the furnace and AC work, make sure all the water works, look for signs of termites, make sure the electric is up to code,whether there is any sign you had a water leak that's been disguised, evaluate whewther you need a new roof, whether the house needs painted, stuff like that. They won';t look in the closets for dead spiders, or live ones. They won't have concern about whether the kitchen floor is shiny. Are there cracks in the wall? that's the kind of stuff they look for, because that's the kind of stuff that can cost buyers a lot of money after the sale.
You know this, KT, you are a real estate lady.

If I were you (shudder) I'd check into a hotel until this is over.

Of all my fellow wooter's houses, I bet Fen's house is pretty clean. I think Josephus' house is probably worst. I'd probably go into shock.

No, don't think so..we were just kidding about how kids aren't the cleanest to have in your home

I posted the following picture in Pictures of You. This is the one I chose because it didn't
show the dust on top of the tins in the background. I didn't want to freak you out.

Nothing. Everyone has different priorities.

It was just a tangential thought.

You have neat things...in your life...your office things...these tins...your garden stuff...

Two weeks of cloth for me. I had great dustcloths for years.

Right on Joe. Germs and dirt are good for you. Sort of like an home brewed innoculation
against bad germs and sickness. Too much cleanliness, I feel, isn't good for you. Kill all
the germs and you won't be exposed to the small amounts of them that help your body
become immune to them.

One time my niece didn't want a piece of candy or gum or something and she put it in my hand without much notice, I just gave my sister a winced look.
