Jean in Newcastle Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 True confessions. I haven't washed windows in years. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 My younger three have the blessing and opportunity to redeem themselves back into my good graces by cleaning my baseboards with magic erasers. If your kids were to write on the ceiling with petroleum based lip balm, would one need to seal the grease stains in (after being cleaned up) with Kilz before repainting said ceiling and walls? My kids have had a very anti-productive afternoon on a number of fronts. I would seal it, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 True confessions. I haven't washed windows in years. Wouldn't they get moldy? We have it on the list monthly to prevent mold build-up, but usually that means go make sure the windows aren't moldy so we don't have to wash them.

ikslo Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Moldy windows? I've never lived in a house with moldy windows. Is this a PNW type thing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) I only did it because we have these huge west facing windows and we're having company for Thanksgiving and when the afternoon sun shines in they look horrible. But they still look horrible because DH put this shade film stuff on and I discovered that the streaks are not dust, they're on the film. Grrrr! I want to rip it off! Actually, it's not that bad a thing to wash windows with the right stuff. My mom gave us this sponge thingy that attaches to a pole, and a good quality squeegee and this cleaner that doesn't need to be rinsed off and dries without streaking or spotting. It's great stuff. So, you just dip the sponge in the bucket of water and cleaner, scrub the windows a bit, squeegee it off and you're done. So, with all that, it wasn't that awful a job.

Susan in TN Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 It has been reported that most lessons were completed and Fiddler On The Roof was watched for history (Russian Revolution of 1917). They cannot vouch for the quality of work. We visited Very Expensive University today, and the longer were were there, the more dd18 loved it and the more I realized it is a Very Expensive University. They do have a stellar nursing program. Outstanding lab facilities - the best we've seen so far. And they use cadavers for some anatomy coursework. We got to drop by a pharmacy class as they were studying muscles. I did not get sick. We leave at 5:30 tomorrow morning to visit Rather Reasonably Priced University. It is ds's 12th birthday, and we will celebrate on Sunday, since as soon as dd18 and I get back, ds will have to leave for the opera. Hope you are feeling better, Slache and Prairie! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Here's an elderly grandparent funny for you. My in-laws are in their mid 80's and for the past year have sent each of my kids a "happy birthday" email with the subject: happy 7th birthday. On the pdf message, it has their name and the correct happy birthday year that goes with it, but also a photo of a birthday cake with 7 candles that says "Happy Birthday Chloe!" :D We get such a kick out of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I'm looking at house plans because I'm weird and I like doing that. Why do some homes have little 6X6 ft exercise rooms? What are you going to do in there that isn't going to get your scull cracked open? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I am weird like that, too, Slache! It's not quite 9:00 and it feels like midnight! We were outside with several neighbors and one didn't me when I said it was 6:00. He said it was too dark. I'm not quite ketchupped. BUT I was NOT one of those self motivated high school students. I liked the idea of being all on top of things, but never could get there. I think it was undiagnosed adhd. My mom didn't help, and was never aware of what I was even learning. She grounded me for bad grades, but that was it. Now, I think she just didn't have a clue how to help. If I had lived with my daddy, it would've been a completely different story. Dis my favorite from he evening (scroll down). Master bath is WAY too complicated though. Somehow they misspelled school as breakfast. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I dreamt I had 12 children and they all melted into the floor so we had a room with skin floor and the children would sing and I would lie on the floor while I hugged it. I would lay instruments on it and they couldn't play the instruments because they had no limbs and I would cry because they used to love to play instruments. I don't know what this means. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Slache, it means you are exhausted, but you love your children. Good Saturday Morning! No cleaning windows here. I know someone who has a window/glass cleaner come once a year just to clean all the windows and glass (mirrors). I'm scared to price it, but it might be worth it. (I'm guessing they don't clean the window sill 'cause that would take so much longer......) Busy day today. COFFEE!!!! (duh) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Ivy Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Good morning! We got up stupid early to be at Sam's Club by 7:00 for their big sale. Got a new computer for my new job. Woohoo! Some people were standing in line at 4:00. People be crazy for deals! Hope everyone is doing ok. :) Oh, quick prayer request or good vibes or whatever it is you decide to send. My sister was taken to the ER for what she thought was gallbladder pain. (She's tough and rarely complains of pain, but she was ready to call 911 the other day.) Anyway, the ER doc said he thinks it's gastritis and told her to take Prilosec. However, the next morning, the pain was worse than ever and mom took her to a doctor they're familiar with. He took one look at her and said her pain level is not normal for gastritis and that he's more inclined to think she has a bacterial ulcer. He gave her pain meds, doubled her Prilosec, and told her to take Maalox before every meal. She's also supposed to follow the BRAT diet. She is currently trying to find an Medicaid PCP and he told her to get them to give her a referral to a gastrointestinal specialist for a stomach scope. She's pretty scared right now. A friend of ours had complications from a knee replacement surgery and passed away quite suddenly last week, so in her mind right now "Surgery or any procedure = death". I'll keep you all updated, but I admit, I'm pretty worried about her right now. :crying: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Well, we won the last soccer game! It was hard fought, but we were victorious. Of course, we're not supposed to be keeping score, you know. Because it might hurt their widdle feelings if they knew they lost. And of course DS was up at 6:00 this morning because he couldn't find his jersey. He looked for an hour. I walked into his bedroom, looked in the closet (we already looked in the closet, Mom) and in 30 seconds unearthed the missing jersey. I swear this child..... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Good morning. I don't know about stuffed puppies, but ds is in the dog house. He woke me up in the middle of the night when he crashed into the dishwasher hard enough to break a piece off. Dh is being a lot more nice about it and has located and ordered the $40 part. I would have made ds look for the part himself. He will still have to pay us back $40 for the part but at least he's spared a service charge. Adding to my "good" mood - we looked out the window to the driveway and I have a flat tire. (Not ds' fault!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
