Oh man, if this guy starts chanting "There's No Place Like Home",
I am SO outta here . . . .

Aw come on, I was just about to start roasting marshmallows
and sing Kumbaya!

I'll bring the graham crackers!!! Now if someone can bring the
chocolate were all set. -Dave

How many points is that?

Depends. Low carb chocolate might be lower in points depending on the
brand. ;-)

Take care,

I maintain my house and it doesn't exactly take up hours every day,
not if you look after it properly.

You know, as I've read your posts in this thread the past few days I
can't help but wonder what your idea of housekeeping involves. Do you
move furniture when you clean? Do you dust? Do you clean the tub
daily? The commode? How often do you clean the windows? Vacuum out
the bathroom fan, ceiling fans and box fans? Do a walk through and
clean any finger smudges on the walls? Wipe down the refrigerator?
Shake out throw rugs? Wipe down the bathroom sink and counter and
mirror? Take a broom to the ceiling in case there are cobwebs and/or
dust? How often do you clean the microwave and range? How long ago
was it that you cleaned your oven? How often do you wash your towels,
sheets, comforters, curtains, etc.?

In short, what is *your* idea of doing the housework?

If they clean properly that sounds good. :-) I doubt He Who Talks
Smack does that though. I suspect he just has a nasty house.

I'm sure He doesn't! It is much simpler when you're single, though, to
keep up a house. Throw in another person and kids, and it's almost
impossible to keep up a house. For me, since I never generate a mess to
begin with and clean up the ones I do generate, then it's much easier.

My idea is to do that stuff as infrequently as possible.
