Whales have calves, Cats have kittens. Bears have cubs and bats have bittens. Swans have cygnets, seals have puppies, but Gu 7/48 just have little gu 7/47. By the wonderful Ogden Nash. 🤗

4:02 pm

periwinkle

my head is hurting from wearing a crown all day yesterday and today

4:28 pm

MollyL

Oh, poor you

4:35 pm

sukee

The fo has something to do with archaeology

4:35 pm

hokie carla

heavy is the head that wears the crown or something

4:40 pm

MollyL

Yes but tiaras are light and comfortable, Who gave her a crown?

4:41 pm

dcseain

fo9 also relates to paleontology.

4:42 pm

sukee

better, ty seain

4:47 pm

dcseain

i’m deep cleaning a kitichen for my friends. Third dishwasher load, one pit of counter and tile, and the lfoor yet to go. Oh, and the stovetop. Not difficult, and i like cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, but goodness a lot of down time today. It’s starting to smell much better in here, though. That’s a happy.

4:48 pm

dcseain

one piece of counter and tile, not pit.

4:52 pm

dcseain

and there’s the dishwasher, BBL

4:53 pm

MollyL

I would imagine it does smell better. Three loads of dirty dishes sitting around?

5:41 pm

sajarn

phantom: expunges

5:50 pm

dcseain

this current load is the grates from the oven, some odds and ends. I have other stove top bits soaking in soapy water. Prepping for fourth round of scrubbing stove top.

5:51 pm

origami

Can I hire you dc?

5:52 pm

dcseain

:)

5:52 pm

dcseain

off to check the sink and do some scrubbing. BBL. :)

5:53 pm

Soodle

Ha. You beat me to it Origami. My kitchen would benefit from a DC deep clean.

5:53 pm

Soodle

I absolutely DETEST housework.

5:54 pm

origami

I'm with you there ... but I DO love a clean house.

5:54 pm

ChampFit

Housework is like adding beads to a necklace that isn't knotted on the end. EVIL!

5:57 pm

Soodle

😂 Great description Champ.

5:57 pm

ChampFit

Given to me by a friend years ago, and it still holds true!

6:05 pm

MollyL

I have never seen the words I like and cleaning kitchens and bathrooms in the same sentence.

6:06 pm

penquis

i have two friends who have husbands that love to clean....weird....

6:06 pm

origami

My late husband loved to clean and cook.

6:06 pm

ChampFit

My husband loves to "clean", but I use the term loosely. I

6:07 pm

penquis

these guys do a great job....they are very fussy...

6:08 pm

origami

I didn't let him get anywhere near the laundry, though. Somehow the concept that you don't put white towels and black sweaters in the same load was beyond him.

6:12 pm

ChampFit

I try not to say anything. He's retired, and I still work, so I try to be grateful that he's helping. But sometimes, if he'd just wait a dang minute.....!!!!

6:12 pm

dcseain

burners drying. Scrubbed stovetop more. Left that soaking for a bit. Egads. The espresso machine was horrid. Almost like new again.

6:14 pm

dcseain

I found coffee grounds that the fruit flies were feeding on. My goodness! how did grounds get there!

6:15 pm

dcseain

thank you for letting me vent a bit. I knew it was bad, but goodness.

6:19 pm

ChampFit

Wow. I would imagine anything there needs a good soaking before you do anything. You've spent a lot of time I imagine!

6:25 pm

ChampFit

Seain...you should put them on a monthly schedule. that way it doesn't get too out of hand.

6:28 pm

MollyL

I really hope this is a paid cleaning job

7:00 pm

rururocks

Is this guy just lazy or has issues? Sounds like the early stages of dementia? Possibly?

7:07 pm

dcseain

it is, Molly :)

7:08 pm

dcseain

no if the dishwasher cycle would only complete.

8:00 pm

hurshy

8:28 pm
