Oh believe me, I'm hearing you, VW. So much...
Yeah, I betcha are!
the only way I'll do the cooking and the cleaning on my own is if someone else buys the groceries.
Well, he did walk Toto when he got here...
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

How weird that I just stumbled across it today. This Means Something! Especially since I found it while doing research on an X-Files/Supernatural crossover fic.

Our wings are not tired.
Steve never helped immediately after dinner, and it irked me much. FINALLY, we talked about it and it comes out that he doesn't like to clean up after dinner, he much prefers the next morning. Once he's relaxed for the night, that's it. And I am completely uptight about waking up to a mess in the kitchen. So our compromise is that he helps with dinner, and then helps rinse everything (take 2 minutes) and clean the counters. If there's not enough for a full load in the dishwasher, the dirty dishes are contained in right side of sink. In the morning, he washes them. It tooks us nearly 2 years of tension before figuring this out. Arrrrgggh.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I'm a hot mess when it comes to dishes. If it's just me, I'll leave my dishes until the morning and then I do them all. If I have company, I have to get everything clean before I go to bed. I think it's the quantity of dishes. Anything less than a certain amount barely takes up sink space so it's easy to ignore. Too much and I don't want to have to look at it in the morning. Eh, it works for me.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Actually, vw, I think someone doing your dishes for you is pretty romantic.
Good on you for figuring that out, javachik, not sure DH and I are there. Our tolerance for dirty dishes is fairly similar. not so much for visual chaos.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Today I woke up to frozen pipes, because we forgot to leave the taps dripping, and then I left my taps open a little too much in the bathroom (because I had no way to tell how open it was) and the sink overflowed causing a big water mess from the 3rd floor down to the basement. It's drying up pretty nicely, and I think I can get away with only maybe needing some new drywall or just new paint in a few spots, and it's certainly better than burst pipes which we thought it might be, however two jolts of adrenaline today was two jolts too much. I'm not looking forward to a call from my landlady.

TCG has an engineering degree, yet can't figure out how to get the benadryl out of the premeasured packet. This is both endearing and boggling.
