Remember When they switched the lunchroom at work in half one side was smoking one was non-smoking and they were separated by a plexiglass sort of wall window. It seemed like in only about a week that plexiglass had turned this nasty color brown and they just couldn’t scrub it off. This is your lungs and this is your lungs on cigarettes. Yuck!
Before the Law changed on indoor Business smoking, I had a task to work on the IBM PC of a heavy smoker. When I saw the computer, I marveled at the plucky little thing, as it had a brown coat over the whole front, keyboard, computer, monitor. Only one brave little floppy drive had failed, but I figured the rest of it didn’t have long to go…
I do the cleaning here. It was much easier when he still went out to work and I worked from home. Now we both “sorta work” and do so from home.
We tended not to eat lunch at home before Covid and also went out a few nights a week for dinner (my husband’s idea,not mine, I prefer to cook and eat home). So we were short on food as Covid started and when we would go out food shopping it would be a MAJOR trip with the idea of not going out again for at least a couple of weeks, if not a month.
We had nowhere to store the excess food and my studio work table was put into use for same and has continued to hold a good deal of our packaged food. I recently finally got my sewing machine repaired and need my table back. So I started rearranging food items in our pantry closet and so on to get the table cleared off.
Table is now ready for sewing, needlework, etc again. BUT – when I go looking for this or that food item I have to remember where it is now stored! Some of the logic to fit stuff into the pantry closet has been a bit shaky – such as cranberry “sauce” is stored with/behind the items to make tomato “sauce”. My hand automatically reaches up to the top shelf of food for the box of Cheerios – but it is now on the fourth shelf of food! And he moved all the garbage bags to the basement!
I’d hate to have to deal with someone else cleaning up and putting things who knows where.

Well, Laura—the first thing to do is check Linda’s credentials. And make sure your homeowners’ insurance is all paid up.

I’ll take a thin layer of coffee over a home-wide film of tars and nicotine any day.

It’s not a film. It’s a patina.

If my Nuclear Coffee isn’t restrained by an unobtainium container, it escapes and gets all over everything

Is it a vapor deposited coffee film? Because I doubt Adam would spill very much.

You may notice the paint is peeling in some places, from Doc Toon’s coffee.

I thought of working for a cleaning company once, the person who answered the phone quickly talked me out of it.
