This requires no explanation.
Why should motherhood be different?
The applicable term is "anal retentative."
Sigh ... a flowering bush. Get it straight.

I just talked to Herbie on the phone. He is A-Noy-Ying. Big Time. Triple XXX Rated. He can reinvent the past just to make himself right in his own mind. And he phrases things in a way to make himself sound like a gentleman (to his own mind) when in fact he is no gentleman. Example: "When we got our computer, we jumped through hoops to find something you could be happy with." He's talking about HIS D****ED computer which is at his D****ED house and not making me happy at all. GRRRR RRR RR R RR :censored: :mad:

The question for the season is "What makes a relationship work?" Any answers?

What makes a relationship work?
 

I have an answer. Find someone who already agrees with you on everything. Then things will be fine. Otherwise, you will fight all the time because NO ONE EVER CHANGES.

When is that stupid Super Bowl tomorrow? It is going to foul up my whole day, isn't it? We're not going to a party. How antisocial we are. It's at 6PM...better than wasting the whole afternoon with it.

I am having company today. I must prepare house. Sorry, but I must make lists. I know what a bore I am but, frankly, I don't care. None of you are leaving, you have no where else to go. I hear the Loozy Floozy thread is full. So I can't chase anyone else off. You'll just have to read my lists.
I will start in kitchen. Even if I don't finish, I'm not spending any more than 20 min in any one place. The wash is already started.
1. get book on tape and timerdone
2. unload dw done
3. load dw done
4. clear counter done
5. trash out Ok
6. clear table. ok
7. wipe front of cabinets done
8. wipe stove ok
9. floor done
10. tablecloth. OK
I'll stop back here to see who is up to KEEP ME COMPANY. Then I will post another list. :s:

Bagzie, I am THRILLED to be cleaning with you!!!!!
I have no Timmy's, poor moi. I am drinking boring old MY coffee. My kitchen looks like a snowdrift...it is so clean. Now I am moving on to the bathroom, living room and foyer. I would point out that NO ONE is waking up to help me. Better. They just annoy me when I'm trying to accomplish something.
Did you notice that I finished that WHOLE list? I'm amazing.
Here goes.....
1. wash out of bathroom.
(there is a laundry shoot in there, but no one seems to understand how to work it. Therefore, they all let their clothes lay on the bathroom floor) done
2. Wipe sink ok
3. clean floor ok
4. shoes out of foyer.
(same thing. We have a dresser, a bench and a shoe rack on the back of the basement door to hood shoes because we don't wear shoes in the house. For some reason, I am the only person who understands the technology of these convenient storage units) [COLOR=green] son is doing this.

I think it's time for a committee (that would be Kiwi) to approach the chair and ask for our own thread thingie instead of being part of miscelleaneous. One is full? They cap the membership???

Let me try this:
1. Get off the computerI did
2. look at the thermostat and adjusted it
3. take a showery
4. dress warmlyI'm so good!!
5. wake dsyup
6.get everything off bedroom flooroh ... some of it
7. and lr flooruh oh
8. put dishes awayyep eyp yep
9. feed catsthey're not hungry
10. check the timeThis is dumb thing to have on a list. Who put this here?

I want to add that I've asked that question of three people for real and they say "When you have problems, stay together and work them out." Duh Duh Duh. That's just not something you can do if the other person won't do it too.

My answer was completely serious. I think the key to a good relationship is that you are compatable in the first place. If you don't have that you'll spend the rest of your life banging your head against a brick wall and, still, nothing will change.

Ok BUT I thought Herbie and I were compatible. I didn't see how we weren't compatible EXCEPT that I wouldn't let him make decisions about ds that I thought I'd live to regret. And wasn't that right??? Now I still have ds but not cement-head and if I had a guilty conscience about ds, I'd be living all alone in that h*ll.

Now a poll: What do most people do to recycle their coathangers? I mean this::::: You take the shirt out of the closet and put it on and you have a empty coathanger. You wash the shirt and you need the coathanger in the laundry room. Do you carry them everyday or what??????????????????

Ok, I'm into this now.

[list=1][*]Clean up lr floor[*]Clean up br floor[*]do another load of laundry[*]Get all that stuff off lr tables[*]ds will read his school book[*]get sheets off beds[/list=1]

That seems like an awful lot.

doesn't anyone know that we have been attacked by worms and viriii and the internet is sLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW---ours is for sure--that is why i am so late reporting my accomplishments---more laundry done,dishwasher emptied and refilled---made bacon,eggs and toast after timmy's coffee---cleaned out fridge--hoovered the dining room and kitchen and now i am putting up curtain rods and saying the eff word everytime i drop the screws on the floor---NOW i have to go to ds's basketball game!!!!xoxoxo systems goddess LIVES!!!!!!!!!

i think we should call our own thread---CRANKY COWS DOT CRAB. lets have our own site---kiwi can manage it and no one can kick us off!!!!!
