Subject: Home Visit Checklist?

Of course, DH starts disrobing as soon as he enters the house, so there is also a little obstacle course consisting of shoes, ties, socks, and an odd sweat shirt or two. BWHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAH Dave and I putter around absent mindedly and don't realized how junky this place looks until people visit. Ditto. I get a little upset when people give me little or no warning before showing up. But, I have greatly improved in the efficiency with which I straighten up (read stick clutter where it is out of sight), and have also loosened my definition for what "neat" is. I have lots of company, but I do not like to have uninvited guests,as I might be busy. Paulette~ "The only thing about resisting temptation is you might not get another chance" |

Paulette~ Jerry is excellent, she listened for hours when I was blubbering down the phone when my dog had to be euthanized a few years back (I'm sure she couldn't understand a word I was saying) I usually call her if I have a worry or just want a second opinion.

Ditto Lea, even when I was being an utterly paranoid newbie - 'He's not eating enough'. 'Is he drinking too much?' 'Is it okay if he hikes his leg *that* high?' 'I think that one eye is blinking too fast'. Woman is a saint. She never once hung up on me, or pointed and laughed. Suja |

Crikey Suja your house sounds like mine. Someone asked today why I always
have a perfumed candle in the hearth, am I candle mad? The truth...my lounge stinks of dog (not urine or anything similar just a dogy smell)....I'm going to rip up the carpets, floorboards don't retain smells. I don't like strangers in my house but if it's necessary I don't have a problem, if it were the choice of me having a dog or not then that's fine as my house is a dogs haven, certainly not aimed at humans Shell "Suja" wrote in message news:M5kdb.21539$sp2.14295@lakeread04...
