By my count, it has been ten days since even an oblique reference to moving, and that one was oblique indeed. The last direct reference to selling the house was on July 26. Definitely a back-burner thing (at most) at this point.
I don’t know how long Arlo has worn that sweater, but obviously burying the nose close to his armpit triggered that. Time to change and maybe taking a shower.
When the garbage can is empty, pour some bleach down the sides and on the bottom. That will kill all the bugs that are causing the can to stink. No scouring required.
Yah, I’d be upset if I gave a lady a hug and found out during the hug she was thinking of the inside of a garbage can. That might be the last hug I requested for quite some time. If she eventually asked why I hadn’t asked her for a hug in a while, I’d come right out and tell her I didn’t want her mind in the garbage!
Arlo, if she’s referring to the bin that rolls out to the curb, around here, there’s a company that will come around and clean & sanitize them at the end of the driveway; 1 recycling bin, one garbage bin looking and (more importantly) smelling like new for $35. And their truck has a tank they work over, so they haul the nasty away. Look into it; beats the living heck out of doing it yourself!
A raccoon has recently decided to take up residence in mine, whenever it has been empty scaring the bejebers out of the neighbor who takes care of it for me.Don’t know how it opens the lid, and closes it behind him….or why.
Just like a kid’ reflex reaction as soon as they see their mother walk in the door is, “I’m hungry”, Janis’ reflex reaction as soon as she sees Arlo is “the garage needs cleaning”, or something.
I wish I had someone to give me a good hug like that, I haven’t had one in a very long time and I could really use one lately. I don’t miss my ex jerks hugs but I have really needed a Mommy hug but she is 4200 miles away.
We only use a pail to put the garbage out if the outdoor can (for projects outside the house) fills. On Sunday night I take the 13 gallon bag in the kitchen pail, add any other household garbage to it and we put it out at the curb for our weekly garbage pickup . We can also put garbage out for Thursday pickup – but EXTREMELY RARELY do we do so as the one bag is generally enough. The outdoor bag is put out about once every couple of months when it gets full.

My wife is completely opposite in this matter. Hugs do not allow chores, there is about a 10 second delay after contact is broken.

To be fair, she didn’t mean to make him pay for it when she started.

Always use trash bags/liners. No stinky build-up in the bins.

Does anyone else’s spouse start off in a sentence “Before I forget….” then proceed with a chore. My wife NEVER forgets but uses this phrase a lot.
