Yuck!


So AH gets hammered last night. Cuts his foot and it won't stop bleeding so he gets the washing up bowl and soaks his foot in it. yuck.

I only found out when he casually mentioned it. Ok off to buy a new bowl. 

He thought this all perfectly reasonable.

My dad used to urinate in his washing up bowl as well as wash his socks! Then carry on using it for washing dishes.

I gotta admit - I would also be heading out to buy new! I'm a bit of a neat freak and anal cleaning person so know my frame of reference. I do believe that all 3 of my guys would think similar to your AH - NBD - No Big Deal!!!

Your title gave me a chuckle this morning Calm Lady - enjoy your outing!!

Good morning, Calm Lady!  

Thanks for my morning laugh.  Sorry your husband cut his foot, but between him, your dad and just about every man I know, it sounds pretty typical!  I think that bowl could be put into a surgical sterilizer and I still wouldn't want to use it. LOL.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!  Finally getting some rain here in western New York state; we've been in severe drought.

Hugs- El

Morning IAH & E

I love having a clean tidy orderly home too. To be fair, AH is very clean too. Does his share of cleaning, laundry etc. It's just sometimes he has a lapse in thinking. Like washing his foot in the dish washing bowl!!

Beautiful sunny day here again. Warm but not too hot.

I have just taken on Group Rep role for my home group. I am delighted. I find doing service helps ME enormously!

Good morning Calm Lady - we have a lovely start of day here! Sun is shining and it's very comfy outside. We're still in summer season, but some relief from hot/humid weather!

My AH is not neat and tidy. He's not a complete slob - some place in the middle....we are the definition of opposites attract on many issues - this being one!

Love service - our group is providing support for the answering service in our area starting next week some time! I'm chasing down the volunteers for that and planning our next pot luck. I do laugh - we get double the amount of members on days we do pot luck - amazing how fellowship and food bring folks together.

Make it a great day!

 Hope you had a lovely day too, IAH. I had a nice day thanks. Some good self care. 

You can't beat food and fellowship!!

Amen sister!! Everyone was excited when I announced we'd be having another pot luck in September! I love food and I love fellowship - never go wrong with the two together!!
