OT: Who gets the last word?

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

There are too many crappy Chinese restaurants out here, especially the buffets. But I found a couple that are worth the money. And I'm all for anything that I don't have to clean up after.

 

[Riehlthing]

That's why I let them make it. I just eat it...I usually go to the store for them and get the stuff, but they give me the money.

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

That's cool. I don't mind cooking, but I hate cleaning up afterward. I even have to clean up after if my husband does the cooking.

 

[Riehlthing]

Cleaning does suck. That's one thing I hate about cooking.

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

I just made lunch. Hopefully that will get rid of my headache.

 

[Riehlthing]

I have a big bottle of 500 mg non-aspirin stuff, Safeway brand.

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

My husband used up my ibuprofen on his back the other night. I think he should stop on his way home.

 

[DarbysDad]

I agree doing the dishes sucks. I can't wait to re-do some wiring and get a new dishwasher installed.

 

[Riehlthing]

yuck, doing them by hand? that sux.

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

Oh hell no. I wouldn't do them by hand if my life depended on it. I waste enough of my time standing there loading the damn thing.

 

[Riehlthing]

I could if had too, but I hate washing dishes by hand...

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

Every once in a while I run out of dishwasher soap and have to do a few loads by hand until I get to the store, and I can't think of a bigger waste of time. If it was just me, or just me and the man, I'd be fine. But I've always got a load of laundry that needs folding, or some spot on the carpet that needs scrubbing, or a child who thinks she's starving to death, and I hate just being stuck at the sink when there's other things to be done.

 

[Riehlthing]

that's why they made dishwashers and vacuums, free up your time...did it work?

 

[DarbysDad]

Yeah dishes get the way of having a beer too!!

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

no. Every time I finish one thing, there's three more waiting for me. That's why when I take a break, I don't usually head back to the pile right away.

 

[Riehlthing]

Train the kids to do work?

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

They're too young yet. Although if I'm cleaning something up (Mega Bloks, dolls, whatever), Tonya will come over and pick one or two things up and put them away. Joe only cleans something up when I tell him Spongebob is going night-night and never waking up.

 

[Riehlthing]

that's first step to training them...be like, want to watch spongebob burn???? I'm evil, I know. I wouldn't do that.

 

[DarbysDad]

that's a good idea but only if you wanna hear complaining

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

Yeah. Cause conversations around here are like:

"That's it! The Wiggles are going back to Australia!!"
"NOOOOOO!!!!!"

"Spongebob is going night-night. He might come back tomorrow, if this living room is picked up and your room is clean."
"NOOOO!!!!!!! NO SPONGEBOB BYE-BYE!!!! SPONGEBOB BACK!!!!"

And you have to keep a straight face the whole time.
