I can't get my act together and I don't know why

Shirley,   The BIG question has been answered. Now I can sleep at night. Thank you soooo much. But, (you are going to kill me) I have another question. What is the "Cain brothers". Never heard of that one. The thing that they used for your friend's IV. Enquiring minds, want to know.

Gsg, Thanks, now I know what an oosik is. Don't worry all of my clothes from last summer do not fit. That is why I hate to clean out my closet because it goes from a size 8 to a size 16. Now I only have to buy a few bigger clothes for this summer. My DH is sabatoging (sp?) my healthy eating plan. He bought a pumpkin pie and whip cream yesterday. And of course I had to eat some. I need to get back to work to loose some weight because I am usually so busy at work that I do not have time to eat a lunch and not thinking about how hungry I am, so by the end of the day I usually forget to eat my lunch.

Drawer is still NOT cleaned out!!!

Just make sure to leave that drawer open and that the path you clear takes them right past it!   They should be duly impressed with it!

It truly wasn't a hoax.  I WILL DO MINE! I promise!

Just not sure when yet. It's overcast today so I can't use the garden excuse, but I'm so danged sore from the work out there the last 2 days, that I'm not sure I can make it to the drawer.  Maybe just to bed after I down a couple of motrin!   I hurt!

See there?  It's punishment from the 'clean it up God's'!

  just had to say that!  Deb, you are too funny! Now get those things off your heiny and throw the bag OUT to the curb and just go commando till you (Or preferrable someone else that feels sorry you are going commando) gets that laundry done!  You're little heiny will thank you!  

All,

I have a drawer in my coffee table which holds batteries and the remotes.  I threw away all the old batteries and stacked the remotes in descending size order.  Does that count?  I would also like to state for the record that there were zero mildos (mildoes?) in said drawer.

Deb, take those panties off!!!

Love you guys,

Sue 

Deb,  All I can say is  "Drive CAREFULLY!!!!"

OK, I'm joining this game a bit late, having sidestepped the drawer-cleaning episode completely, I hope; and I don't know what the rules were, but, Sheila:

"Well before I knew what was happening, I had actually straightened the shelf and everything is folded neatly. . .it was kind of scary, I cleaned without thinking about it!"

I don't think it should count if you clean the shelf accidentally.

Yup Harley, I really did....but first I had to shove them in my pocket to get them back to my office.  I didn't take my purse to the bathroom with me.  And here I sit, going commando at school, getting nothing done because I am chatting with you guys.  I figure what are they going to do?  Fire me?  I'm done in 10 days anyway....

Deb C

Who has a a bad case of the don'tgiveadamns today

Deb's not at home.  She's over on Traci's bitch thread right now.

Now, I've read the entire thread.  You girls are fast.  I haven't even  been to the moan and groan thread.

Wishiwere:

Shirley, I have to ask?  When you said, "I'm going to bake my other friend who had the liver biopsy yesterday a chocolate cake, AND I am not eating, nor saving ANY for us.  It will be a surprise for her."

Did you really BAKE your friend?  I mean, dear friend, perhaps it's not a wise thing to put this down in writing on the internet.  I think I read one time, that the Feds do read the internet too? 

Wishiwere, you are really a smart arse!  LOL  Okay, so my English/grammar/language skills are not so great.  Here's how that shoulda (sp?) read:

"I'm going to bake my other friend, who had the liver biopsy yesterday, a chocolate cake, AND I am not eating, nor saving ANY for us.  It will be a surprise for her."

Or:

"I'm going to bake a chocolate cake for my other friend who have the liver biopsy yesterday....."

I've baked the cake, but haven't taken it to her yet.  Her dh is taking her out to dinner tonight.  However, I will only give her half.  Why?

• 1.  She told me that her cholesterol went way up.  She was taken off of Lipitor because of her liver enzymes.  Since the biopsy has been done hopefully her doc will start her on another cholesterol drug.  Is that a good enough excuse?
• 2.  My dh wanted to know if I was going to keep any for us/him.  I don't want it.  I don't want it around me.  But, I must keep some for my friend's sake.  Plus her dh is a diabetic, and after seeing his endo found out his glucose level was too high.

See, I am keeping some of this cake for my friends' sake.  It could be detrimental to their health! 

Shirley

Sheila, I was going to say before I looked to see what thread I was on that you should go over to the "I can't get my act together" thread.  I'm so confused most of the time on what thread I'm on.  These two have sorta blended.  Until your mind is in a "safe place" do not, DO NOT clean out any drawers or closets.  We don't want you walking around in the buff.  You can get arrested for that!   

Deb, be very careful how you exit your car.  Could be some paparazzi hanging around thinking that you are Britney Spear.  After all, you just shaved your head!

Patrice, I haven't updated the "moan and groan" thread about the "mildo."  "Moan and groan" sounds like it should be under the Mojo Thread.  Did I read on this thread that you were going to the gym to work out?  Wow, girl!  I'm jealous!  So, trying to fit into that sausage casing made you decide to get fit!?  I just keep buying larger sizes.  I'm too tired to work out.  That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Nicki, you had the best solution.  Buy new socks is much easier than trying to sort socks, sticking your fingers in them to see if there's any holes, find matches..hell, just throw all the old ones away PERIOD!  That way you won't really need to go through your sock drawer and "clean" it out.

Wishiwere, stop bragging about all the work you did outdoors for pete's sake!  Pulling weeds...what are weeds?  My dh'syard is starting to look like a desert.  Geez!  I had to use the online dictionary cuz I couldn't remember if "desert" is spelled, "desert" or "dessert."  With all the dessert I've been making lately you'd think I could remember! 

Kelly, the "Cain brothers?"  I think it's like Novacaine or Lidocaine...a numbing agent.  I can't figure out why they don't like to use it before getting a IV started.  Perhaps Dotti could fill us in since she's a nurse.  Or Nicki. 

MissS, doesn't it feel good to have achieved getting SOMETHING cleaned?  Tricks are fun!  I clean out the closet under my stairs, then I start throwing stuff back in there.  If someone's coming for a surprise visit I throw all kinds of stuff in there.  And if my dd knew that I was telling the world about her jewelry she'd freak!  She'd freak knowing I'm talking like this!  She and her dh are coming back from a loooooonnngggg trip in Africa.  I'm sure they'll need to make some money.  I'll suggest that she start an "adult jewelry" business.

Sue, throwing out batteries is indeed counted towards cleaning.  I figure if you through out old newspapers or magazines that counts.  It's so hard to throw the mags out.  But, I bite the bullet and close my eyes, and just do it.  I've solved that problem.  I do not have mags coming to my house anymore.  Nor do we take the paper.  All the news I need is right here on this board.....I REALLY NEED TO GET A LIFE!

Deb, I'm still laughing at you.  What I would tell your mom if you had an accident with no undies....Mom, you always advised me (Deb) to have clean panties on in case I got into a wreck.  That's why I took off my panties, Mom.  I forgot to change them.  Pssttt...It's okay to tell a white lie now and then.

No, Ann, you are NOT the messiest person.  I do believe some of us would fit right into the "messiest person's club."  Right now I have dishes in my sink.  I baked a cake and the mess is in there.  I should be cleaning the kitchen instead of playing on the puter.

Harley, take Wishiwere's advice.  DO NOT start putting stuff in boxes.  You should see my garage.  Stuff in this box and stuff in that box...Christmas stuff I'm getting rid of too WHEN we decide we have the energy (we = dh and me).  I promise you, you will forget that you stuffed the stuff away.  I have found things I forgot I even owned!

Geez, I'm tired.  I need to clean the kitchen now or whenever!

Shirley

Shirley,

Well, what am I gonna do with all this paperwork that needs to be sorted out, from medical bills to birthday cards, and lots of other junk like that.  Also, I wrote down people's phone numbers, addresses, cell phone #'s (yours is in that stack somewhere, too!), and birthdays, and even reminder notices about upcoming drs. appts. ... WHATEVER am I going to do with all this crap? 
If I throw it away, I'll need it one day, especially for the next time we get together, or if I just want to annoy you one day, and call you on BOTH of your phone numbers AT THE SAME TIME??

Oh, just WHAT am I gonna do???  Please don't say "get your act together, and clean up that mess!"

Harley

Shirley,

I have never seen a &ildo, either... 

Years ago, when I was MUCH younger, everyone thought I was a TOTAL innocent, who knew NOTHING about s.e.x....  anyway, one lady was SO SURPRISED to find out that (I'm whispering ...)  condoms are available in lots of different colors and textures.  She asked me, Harley, did you know that condoms were 'ribbed'?  I said YES, I knew that....   and Emily was 50 or 52 years old, but she didn't know... 

I just thought it was funny!  Whenever anyone would tell a slightly off color joke, they would look at me, and say, Well, I would tell you, but... Harley is over there... 

 @ Miss S!  Great one!

Harley, you need one of those little planner.  Just the simple little ones that have a couple years in them, to keep track of your appt and to jot down names/phone # in.  That way you can pitch those little notes you have piling up!  My desk was like that too.  Welll, it's got  a few on it now, but it really helped when the MRI place gave me one, after my last biopsy, with other stuff.  It has really helped keeping track of appt, b/c otherwise, I'd forget 99 % of them!
