Cleanliness is next to….
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Recently, I found myself at a gentleman’s apartment in the evening. A lovely, clean-cut, successful, professional type guy, older than myself by a few years. He had invited me back after dinner so that I could borrow some books from him…
As he was unlocking the door, I thought to myself, “What’s that smell?”
And then I walked in. And I saw the dirty laundry all over the living room floor. Everything from underwear (!) to towels and shorts. I saw the piles of dirty dishes and cups on the coffee table, which, upon closer inspection, were developing mold. Trash all over the kitchen counters. More laundry all over the bathroom and living room floors. Towels tacked up over the windows in lieu of curtains. And the piece de resistance: The juice spilled on the living room floor and covered up with a piece of newspaper.
Clearly, I high-tailed it out of there as fast as I could. I didn’t even want to sit down!
Now, I’m not a spotlessly neat person. I keep things reasonably tidy, but there will be the occasional unmopped floor or unmade bed or dishes in the sink for a day or two longer than they ought to be. Clutter happens, in my house at least. But I don’t think I could ever try to date someone who lived in squalor!
For some reason, I’ve dated a few METICULOUSLY neat guys who make me feel like a slob! It’s good because it forces me to clean up, I guess…
Are you the clean one or the messy one in your relationship? Does it matter to you how your guy or girl keeps his or her place in order?
Do you prefer to rendezvous at your date’s place or your own? Is cleanliness (of your place or theirs!) a factor?
What stories of neatness obsession or messiness horror exist in your dating past?

Good morning everyone. I have never been with a overly messy woman. Like Laney said, there are moments I have left some dishes in the sink or not made the bed, but it’s never to the point of filth. I’m not a neat freak but you never want to be with a woman who is a slob.

O.K., Laney are you sure you’re not overexagerating the scenerio? I mean I’m not the most tidy person either, but I have the common sense not to invite someone over when my place is stank because I haven’t done the dishes, or washed my stank clothes … I mean I live like a single dude that gets to the cleaniness when I get to it. But I certainly don’t invite female company over when I haven’t at least done a quick once over.

Morning I’m the clean one in all my relationships, i can’t stand a messy place see cause i’m the type if we “kickin it” and i’m at your place and it’s messy, i’ll start cleaning up i.e. washing dishes, vacuum, puting things away, etc especially if you’re the hard working type and i know you only have time (not all the time) to clean up on the weekends. Sure i’ll help you out if you need it, that’s cause i’m so Sweet like that!
Hello Musing If you open your booth today let a sista know, aight! Have a great day all ;)

Cleaniess is next to Godliness. I personaaly like to keep my sorrounding neat & clean with the exeception of my desk while im at work.I hate a nasty house & car. I was taught always keep your bathroom,kitchen and living room clean at all time, you never just know when someone will pop up or if an emergency may occur. When everything is nice and neat it just sets a wonderful mood and not to mention but things are more accesible. My guys friends always compliment me on how i keep at clean vehicle & home despite being a single mom of three without a house-keeper.But one thing i find interesting is a lot of my high profile girlfriends keeps a junky car and house and they all have mens and or S/O.

First of all EWWWWWWWW @ Laneys story! I really hope she exaggerated for effect… but if not, this dude is disgusting! And, if he actually invited her in knowing it looked like that is just wrong. Its one of two things: either the apt was cleaner than it normaly is, so he didn’t feel bad showing her or, he wasn’t interested and he figured this was the best way to put her off w/out actually saying it :)
This is a funny story because I always have this vision in my head whenever I think of a guys apartment… either that or that he has no furniture except a mattress in the middle of the living room. I’m usually very leary about going over a guys house for the first time.
True story - I was talking to this guy and he kept inviting me over to spend the night, but because of my previous explaination, I would never go. So, one day, I broke down and went. At the time he wasn’t driving and neither was I, but he stayed right behind the train station so it wasn’t a big deal to get there. So boom, I wait until the last minute to go, so when I get there, its no turning back to go home… no more trains or busses for the night. I get there, the apt is clean. Cool!. We go to his room…. how come this fool had the headboard, the footboard and the siderails up… but there was no box frame or mattress. just a comforter and pillows on the hard a$$ floor inside the box frame.
GOOD MOR’TING ALL

Good Morning Laney and All
I am not a neat freak, but I can honestly say that I don’t have to have a guy stand outside while I tidy up things around the house. I have 4 children in my house almost everyday, I teach them to clean up after themselves, put your dishes in the sink after you scrape the food off of them and after you rinse the residue off completely. I rotate the floor sweeping, dish loading and vaccuming between them all. I also use cleaning as a form of punishment for my son - LOL Bless his Sweet Little Heart. He has to clean his bathroom every Monday - Why? Because he missed a few assignments in school. The messiest room in my house would be my Queendom (but no guy has ever seen it that way). There are days when I go to work, get off and go to work again, by the time I get home, I strip, shower and sleep. If I have to do that 2-3 days in a row, the Queendom might get a little cluttered until I can get all of the shoes back in their boxes, throw away the trash mail, wipe down the vanity, put away all the hair care stuff etc…
I went over to a guys house once and his bathroom was jacked to the max. Now on the surface, I could tell he wipe the counter off and the sink out just before my arrival, but Men c’mon, ladies sit down to pottie, so if you don’t clean the floor behind the door, we are gonna see it. We can tell when the floor has seen a mop in months. We can tell that the tub never gets cleaned until company comes over - LOL I don’t expect or want an OCD neat freak, but moderate cleanliness is a non negotiable.

Good Morning Yall! I am a clean freak to the infinate power and beyond. I hate clutter, boxes, and mess. I get sick when I see a dirty toilet or dirty dishes or smelly trash. When people ride in my car they get nervous because it’s so clean. When I use to have a house people use to ask me do I actually live here because everything was in place. I just like being clean. I enjoy hanging out with other clean people as well. That is why I can’t live with roomates because I always seem to pick out the messy ones… That’s sad that you have so many dirty people out in the world. I should know because I work with some. I’m sorry if you use the bathroom and can’t turn around to see if you pee pee on the seat or didn’t flush all the way then you need some help. Maybe I should stay single because I hear men are the worse when it comes to be clean…..

You can usually determine a person’s hygiene practices just by observing them. Dirty hands usually belong to a dirty body and a dirty body usually resides in a dirty house. I don’t think Laney exaggerated her story because what seem abnormal to some is standard to others. Maybe the guy lived like that so long it was standard living to him.
I am just amazed by the number of women that walk out of public bathrooms without washing their hands. When I see that I just imagine that their lifestyle is that of not so clean.

Good Morning All. I’m no neat freak myself, but clean I am. I would never invite a woman to the house if its jacked. Its hard to get comfortable when you’ve got to move shyt to sit. Everybody should try to be fairly clean, especially if you want to invite others over.

For me it does matter how a persons house is kept. A little clutter here or there is tolorable but nastiness isn’t. Magazine’s all over the coffee table is clutter a black ring around the inside of your comode is nasty. A gym bag and gym shoes in the middle of the floor is clutter, Sundays dishes in the sink on Tuesday is nasty. An unmade bed could be considered junky but yo nasty azz drawls in the middle of the bedroom floor is just nasty.
I don’t wear shoes in my house so when I get home I take them off at the door or carry them to where ever I feel like dropping them. Very seldomly do they make it to my closet. By the end of the week, I have shoes all over the place. I cleaned out my car (well my boys cleaned out my car) this past weekend and found 8 pairs of shoes in my trunk! Now that’s clutter. It’s not uncommon for me to clean house on Saturday and find that many pairs of shoes not in their place. That’s my dirty little habit. Everyone has them.
My exhusband was pretty dogon nasty. He just cleaned when he felt like it not when he needed to. But he could tolerate alot because he was one of those children that grew up in a home where if you left the cereal box open you could forget about it the next day cause the roaches would have taken over. Me on the other hand and my brother and sisters were slaves. Mama ran a tight ship we were up at dawn on Saturday’s cleaning on our hands and knee’s.
Sorry for the long post but….
I was in Chicago one summer visiting Big L (my daddy) and he took me over his girlfriends house and then left! I was like 14 at the time. Well anyway she had army’s of roaches crawling up her wall, they covered 75% of the ceiling, THEY WERE FALLING OFF THE CEILING!!!! It was just me and the girlfriends daughter there so she was like come on in my room, we can look at pictures. So I go and were looking at pictures in a photo album and there are roaches stuck to the pages in the dayum photo album!!! I never understood how my father could date a person like that. Anyway, again, sorry for the long post.

Morning….My preference has always been to have my “main squeeze” come to the “Queens Castle” and i’m a very clean person…often i’ve had weekend rendevous and they turned into QC’s cleaning service but it’s cool cause i know Men get busy sometimes and eat in front of the tv, fall asleep, leave their plates on the table, so i never fussed while at his place asking why is this here, and these go there, this goes here…hell i just helped a brotha out and got it all nice, clean & smelling fresh up in his place! And they’ve all appreciated it and i don’t see anything wrong with that, no horror stories maybe a few “messy stories” but it’s all good….

I am definetely the neat one in the relationship and if I ran into a female like the dude Laney dated I would haul tail and run thru the wall like the cartoon characters back in the day! I am not overly neat, just keep things in order so I can find them later. I don’t care if the female is meticulous or not, but don’t want a slob.
I don’t care where we hang out as long as we both feel comfortable there. My current girlfriend is very neat so this is not an issue. As long as I remember to use a coaster, she is happy. My neatness obsession would have to be my car. It has to be spotless all the time, including a thunderstorm and all winter long. Also every room downstairs, the living room, kitchen and bathroom should be spotless because you never know who may come over unexpected. The upstairs is more personal. So if you make it up there, you know the family well and can see us in relaxed mode but never too sloppy.
@ Peach, that was a good story! Thanks for the morning laugh!
@ Raqi, I had a female co-worker tell me that some women don’t wash their hands when they leave the restroom because unlike men, they do not touch themselves. YUCK, but that’s what she said.
@ Lah lah, thanks for breaking down the difference between clutter and nasty! The roach story was trifling. Mom may have been rough, but look at the good it did.

Lah Girl, that’s terrible about the roaches!! One of my mom’s friends had a house like that. She was one of the best people you ever wanted to meet and was funny, professional and always fly. We went to her house (trailer) one day and all the roaches just shocked me. They were falling off the ceiling, coming in through the cracks, drowning in the leaks, just a hot disaster in there. Plus there were clothes and newspapers everywhere, the kitchen was filthy. I never looked at her the same after that.
My house isn’t spotless, but I live in “5-minute condition”…if someone is coming over, the common areas can look next to perfect in 5 minutes. My cars are clean inside and out. I do have trouble keeping my own bathroom clean though, it’s the only messy room in the house.

Ok, dude in Laney’s story was disgusting…I happen to be a neat & clutter freak…I have to keep the dishes cleaned, papers put away, and the bed has to be made…Having the bed made allows me to calm down (OCD)….Along those lines, I hate a Woman with a messy’azz car…I will not look your direction if I get to your car and see a pile of junky shoes, papers, bags, and other ishh back there…And don’t try to hide that ishh in the trunk either…LOL

JustME I think we are all guilty of throwing off our clothes, getting in the shower and relaxing the rest of the night. I feel as long as the communal areas of the house are tidy, the bedroom is one area where it is ok to be slack - unless of course you know you are having company
Personal rule - you should be able to tidy your house up in 15 mins or less at all times.
confession I only make the bed when I change the sheets.

Good Morning All,
I am not a clean freak but I do like things in their place. I know at my house during the week things get messy, but once during the week and on the weekends, we do a clean run. Clothes get washed, dried, hung and prepped for the next week. An the floors get dust mopped and bathroom cleaned down. As for dating someone one who is messy, Messy is okay. Health code violations are not.

Silky thats a rough situation. Just start telling her stories about how untidy your roommate is… that way she will figure its his/her mess and not yours. Otherwise, just never invite her over. I know most females get really turned off by a dirty house. Especially the kitchen & bathrooms.
Question for the fellas - Why the hell is there so much water around the vanity after you wash your hands???

Morning errrybody. I’m definitely the clean one. I live alone but you can drop by my house at any given time and you will never find it out of order. I wake up every morning and climb out of my bed, making it up. When I use dishes (except for a cup or two that’s on my night stand), they go immediately into the dishwasher. Occasionally, I may leave a few dishes in the sink for maybe a day or so but never a pile of dishes in my sink.
The only area that gets messy is my office space in my loft area upstairs. There’s always ‘work in progress’, but it’s just paper.
My SO is messy. Not filthy but messy. His room has clothes and books strewed everywhere. He leaves cabinets open, lights on and he and his family have a weird dish cleaning habit. They always have the draining rack on one side of their sinks BUT what they do is rinse off/semi-clean dishes, put them in the draining rack and let them accumulate there and THEN transfer them into the dishwasher. That is just crazy to me! Unnecessary steps! If you rinse/semi-clean, just put them directly into the dishwasher!!! So an unsuspecting person would think these are clean dishes, grab a cup and use!! Ugh!
His little sister spent the night with me and I decided to handwash some dishes and left them in my drain rack on one side and of course, later that day, I see half cleaned cups and plates mixed in with my clean dishes!!! But I couldn’t be mad at her because that’s what her family practices! Jeesh!
But I will say that when he cleans….he REALLY cleans! I left him alone at my house one day and when I got back, bathroom and hall cabinets/closets were all perfectly organized, etc. So I’ll keep him.
Oh, and he’s one that lets ALL his underwear/t-shirts, etc get dirty and then decide to wash. I wash at least once or twice a week!

I’m quite neat, never dirty dishes in the sink, by the time I’m finished cooking I’m also finished cleaning, a spotless kitchen is especially important to me. I might fall behind on dusting and vacuuming sometimes, but nothing too drastic. No bugs! Beds have to be made, clutter bothers me, it’s also reflected in my decorating.
Cars too, I keep both vehicles mostly spotless, such as is possible.
I couldn’t abide a slob! I’m not OCD or anything like that, but I don’t much see the point in buying a big, beautiful house and nice cars and letting them be pigsties.
I’m hip to the washing hands after bathroom gig, it’s enough to make me not want to shake hands with people, ugh! I kinda dig the the Don King line though, ‘I wash my hands before I touch my d1ck’! Ha.

ImAPeach404 Why are you clowning ol boy like that…lol.
I must confess, I’m a momma’s boy so I’m a bit of a neat freak, except for my bedroom. My parents made me do dishes and vacuum after school, even after a long day with football, basketball, or track practice. I helped my dad cut the grass on weekends and I helped my mom with laundry and cleaned the bathroom before I could go out with my friends on the weekend. So I still find myself cleaning, vacuuming and doing laundry with the stereo going for a few hours on the weekend. I do the dishes right after I cook, unless I’m too full. When I have my kids we have clean up time as well and so far they like it but we’ll see how long it lasts.
I’m not perfect and I try not to judge people. I just try to take care of my things, like where I live, my car, clothes, shoes, etc. so I look for that in the women I date. Roaches are a deal breaker! If you have pets that live indoors then you need to be extra clean in my opinion. Pet hair all over the place and smells of urine and other stuff is not cool to guests….deal breaker. Everyone should own some Frebreeze!…lol. I had a pit bull when I lived in Texas and I made sure the house was clean and so was his kennel because my daughter was walking around the place and we had neighbor’s kids over too. The bathroom can be another deal breaker depending on the level of damage in there. Like someone said earlier, how can you be clean if the place where you get clean is a complete mess.

I like things in order so I’m pretty clean person. One of my girlfriends stopped by she was like you fix your bed every morning. I was like of course, I thought that was just the norm. I clean all during the week, so my Saturday morning is spent sleeping or running errands. My mom and sister came last weekend and moms said I might have a slight case of OCD. This my be due to I live in a flipping studio I don’t have room to have clutter if so I can’t fit in my apartment.

I run a very tight regimen when it comes to the hygiene and cleanliness of those in my house. My sons are required to keep their living spaces clean. Not just tidy but clean. The bathroom has to be cleaned everyday. Their beds have to be made everyday and the linen changed twice a week. Now that I have given them a game room they are required to keep it clean. Absolutely no clothes or shoes are to be left on the floor. NO ONE goes to bed without a shower or bath everyday. Even if you take showers in the morning, you still have to take one before going to bed. Dishes are to be rinsed and immediately place in the dishwasher. The kitchen is to be swept every night and mopped at least twice a week. I take care of the cleaning of the other parts of the house. My room is probably the cleanest room in the entire house. I change my linen every other day. I clean my bathroom every day. The man keeps his side of the bathroom clean. When you finish using something put it in its appropriate place. Mail is sorted at the trash outside to avoid junk mail clutter. I could go on but I won’t.
Here’s a humorous incident: I call it the day the men owned pink underwear. One Saturday I picked up some new towels from Linens and Things for the boys’ bathroom. The bags were on the kitchen table and the little babe was getting some juice while trying to watch TV at the same time. He spilled juice every where and being afraid that I would smack his behind he grabbed a towel from the bag, a red towel, and cleaned up the mess. To further hide the incident he took the towel and put it in the machine where I was washing all the men underwear. Voila, pink underwear. I made him wear his.

One of the most popular questions women ask when they come over…….”You actually live in this house by yourself? Who helps you keep it clean? It is so uncommon for a single guy to have a furnished home that is neat. You can’t possibly live alone, you have some type of woman/women hanging around here. You have the signs of a player/liar/cheat/gay/etc!” It makes me wonder what kind of guys are women in ATL puting up with.
My cars are always clutter-free too. If I date a women with a dirty car I’ll tell her about it. Not only that, I’ll offer to clean it for her if we hit it off. (Most women like that)

LahLah That is just NAZZZZZTY!!! Ugh!! Roaches in the photo album! You got me itching over here! Man, we had this girl that used to go to my church back home and they lived in the projects and had roaches. She had a slumber party and nobody wanted to hurt her feelings by not going. We were all soooo scared because I KNOW if I had brought some roaches back home in my suitcase, my mama would’ve beat me! Man, I kept my bags on a couch, hoping that would keep creepy crawlers from getting to them. Now, we all have had a few roaches in our houses from time to time, but when you have to greet them because they are the masters of your home, that’s just nasty.
Now my ex mother-in-law was just NASTY (homewise). Mind you, she was the BADDDDEST dressed woman I ever met! Furs, minks, St. John suits, Jack McConnell hats, etc (typical COGIC diva!) Never knew what it was like to dress down. I went to the mall with her one day, I had on some jeans, sweatshirt and tennis shoes. This heifer had on a leather black suit with rhinestones here and there and some funky fly ankle boots. You better do it at 60+! BUT her car and apartment was a whole different world. Her car was soooo filthy because she also made hats and stuff. So she had feathers and boxes and material all piled high in her back seat and the front seat was filled with old cups, wrappers, food, etc. And her apt….oh my God.
No exaggeration but first time there, when you open the door, you literally have to push stuff around just to get a path to walk on. JUST NASTY. Her bathroom……ok, let me stop because I’m about to throw up just thinking about the sink and the tub………filthy, filthy, filthy. And then….there was the kitchen……

Oh yeah, keep the tub and shower clean by spraying Tilex daily after you shower, no wiping required; and wash it down weekly with a cleaner that contains bleach, else your bathroom gonna stink. Men, wipe the toilet rim after use, nobody aims well enough to keep from splattering… ladies, please leave no evidence of sanitary items, that is just EXTREMELY NASTY!

I have to admit that I am a neat/clean freak. My husband had to get used to it, but now he LOVES it. I teach my daughter (orally and by example) the importance of keeping her bedroom, bathroom, body, teeth, hair and nails clean. The difference between taking baths and taking showers. Loading dishes, sweeping the kitchen floor EVERY night, mopping/waxing, dusting and vacuuming, how to clean a toilet.
My mother is CLEAN. She raised six children and never once did we have roaches, rats or mice. She and my dad together taught us (children) the importance of keeping a clean house.

This is my confession…my house is clean but my car is off the chain! I work out of my car than my home. I have a file cabinet in my car, papers, pictures, books, etc…a hot mess.
As soon as I get that car cleaned out, I start piling crap back in in it.

“confession I only make the bed when I change the sheets.”
ImAPeach404 I’m the same way. To make it worse, I have a king pillowtop so I only have two sets of sheets that will fit the bed anyway….lol.
I have to admit, some of my boys are not the cleanest people in the world. Sometimes I’ve had to shower or get dressed for some event or night out at one of my boy’s crib and I didn’t even want to shower in the nasty tub. I make sure to get paper plates and cups for cookouts to watch the game at a couple of my friends’ cribs because I’ve seen the half washed dishes with food caked and dried on them and the glasses and cups with all kinds stuff in them. Single fellas, man up and take care of your crib!…lol.

That’s gross about women not washing their hands after using the crapper. I have been in the bathroom with women who funk the bathroom up. They flush without wiping and they just walk on out like it’s no one business. Or sometimes if they see someone is in the bathroom with them they act like they are washing their hands by turning on the water but not actually using it. That’s just sick., and people wonder why I never want to eat potluck dinner or lunch with them….. Yuck!

Good Morning Everyone
I have to admit that I pay someone to clean my house because I just can’t stay on top of it and I like a tidy house. So it is important to me that the guy I date keep a tidy house, but it is NOT a deal breaker. I dated a guy for 3.5 yrs and his apartment was darn near nasty. He had a dog and he never mopped the floors, the couch had stains everywhere, and clothes were always all over the place. When he came to my house he had to use the spare bathroom because his aim wasn’t too sharp and I couldn’t take it anymore.
My car is NEVER clutter free……It’s a lost cause…I have so many meetings after work that I just leave the stuff in the car so that I won’t forget the materials.
My current BF does a decent job with keeping his house presentable…he just needs someone to clean the bathrooms. I am NOT the girlfriend who will clean your house…it just ain’t going to happen. I dated a guy who cleaned on Saturday mornings and felt like I should help him since I was there….Nope! But I’ll cook breakfast or lunch for when you’re done….and clean those dishes.

abc I agree with the decorating and anti-clutter. When it comes to furniture placement less is better because I don’t like a crowded cluttered room. When the man moved in I was forced to buy an amoire to accomodate his television. There is no way I would have this thing sitting out on any piece of furniture in my room. When it’s not being watched it is closed up. In the new game room we built I did an entire wall unit for games, dvd, and cd storage. No magazine on the table in the den, there are two baskets that slide from underneath to house any books or magazines. Any periodicals older that 4 weeks are trashed.

Okay, I am guilty of clutter.
Clean yes, cluttered, yes. Dirty, crappy clothes, never, clean sheets, always, but I don’t know where all those papers, books (not put up), and dayum plastic bags come from. I just have too much ‘stuff’ and am coming to realize that the more ‘stuff’, the more mess to clean up…so am trying to visit Goodwill with a big bag or two each week. I really got tipped off to this in the Spring when I invited a lady over for dinner who was a pretty anal clean freak. The house was clean, but her first comment was “you have more candles than WalMart”. Her second comment was “you let your dogs inside?” Over the course of the evening (which ultimately went well by the way although I never invited her there again), I realized that “less is better”.
So, I hesitate to bring ladies to my place unless I know it it clean and in the next year half the junk and 3/4ths of the candles, are on their way out.

Yes, a woman’s cleanliness is very important. I will definitely downgrade a woman who’s place is a nasty or unkept. Guess its just the way I was brought up.

2) Fellas… You rollin’ in ya shirt and slacks… but if your shoes got an inch of air between the bottom of your big toe and the floor, ‘cause your shoes are curled up like a genie, you need to lay off the club for a few weeks and pick up a new pair. Dayummmmm…

My wife is a total slob and doesn’t see it. We’ve been married for seven years and it’s been this way from the start - although it’s gotten worse lately. To compound the problem we have a two year old that constantly trashes the house(what can you expect?). My wife is a “dropper”. Comes in the door in the evening and you can follow her trail all over the house. Drops her shoes, purse, dirty socks, etc. all over. At any one time there are probably 6 pairs of shoes laying all over the house or should I say 12 single shoes laying everywhere. I am a part time stay at home dad that is responsible for keeping the house picked up. She uses this to her advantage, because “it’s my job”. B******. I was always taught to clean up after myself. It’s like I have 2 two year olds in the house. Food and junk all over the place. She comes in the house after shopping and drops her purchases in the entry and if I didn’t move them, they would stay there for weeks. We have a maid come in every two weeks and by the evening on the day they have come the place is a disaster area. We don’t share a bathroom thank god! She has the bigger one in the hall that guests are supposed to use. I won’t even go in there it’s so disgusting. Hairspray build up and makeup and hair all over the place. Don’t even get me started on her car! She uses the center console as a trash bin! I did a total detail of her car in late July because I needed to use it for a few days. It was disgusting! She always complains that she gets sick from driving the car - now I know why… There was rotting food all over the place! In the trunk was forgotten food from the grocery store, such as fruit and other perishables. God knows how long they had been in there because they were almost unrecognizable. Anyway I clean it up and get it smelling good for my use and tell her to keep it clean. Within a week after I used it, it stunk again, it had garbage strewn all over the place - coffee spilled every where! On the seat, on the dash, steering wheel, I mean everywhere! I was so p** off I told her never again. The next time I need to use a car, as opposed to my truck, that I would rent one. I’m not cleaning that crap up again. Who in their right mind drives around with an open container of coffee? We have 10 travel cups! She insists on using open mugs from the cupboard that don’t even fit in the cupholders! The entry to the house is littered with coffe stains - walls and floors. Damn, now I’m all worked up!

Home Defense at Home Depot - It paralyzes the bugs and they die where they lay. I watched them falling off the house one year I was playing Spades out on the pation - hillarious!
Raqi Can you say OCD to the 2nd Power? In the words of Usher You got, You got it Bad - LOL
Runnin You sound like the son I am raising, that kid can do laundry, dishes, vaccum, he really wants to wash my truck, but he’s not tall enought to get the top clean, and as a good mother I can not encourage him to climb on top of my truck - Nope can’t do it, cause then he’d only be a few inches from the roof, and we all know what would happen next…….. there are still a few toys up there he wants - LOL
I wash my car when there will be no rain for at least 72 consecutive hours, otherwise, I let ther rain rinse it for me. I have found that cheap brake pads cause brake dust, so I don’t have dirty rims - LOL
Ladies I read somewhere that you should never invite a man into your bedroom unless it is clean and smelling good. The bed should be made and your things should be orderly. Maybe the floor-bed guy should have read that - LOL

I’ll make a mistake and put a red shirt in with the lights so everything has that red tint to it. I’ve started the washer before thinking I’m going to do a load of whites and add bleach then get side tracked and put in darks. Last winter I brought this beautiful red sweater from The Limited that was like $70 I wore it one time and had all intentions on putting it in the cleaners but some how it creeped into my laundry and was ruined in the wash. I can’t even tell you all how many pieces of clothing I’ve ruined in the wash. Oh and I despise folding clothes. I wait unitl I’ve washed and dryed everything before I begin the dreadful folding, hanging, putting away process. Absolutely hate it.

But the guy ACON said that you’re suppose to provide the women with separate homes…not live together. But you have to keep them at the same standard of living. So if one is a millionaire and the other one is not…you have to bring the one that is not up to speed because everything has to be equal….they actually have rules for this kind of stuff

<>Blog hug.
Hello everyone. Thanks again for all the support last week.
On topic..I’m not a neat freak but I have an inside dog so I am kinda anal about making sure that you don’t smell I have one before you see him.

Morning Demi
When I first moved down here, my sisters Schnauzer (Sheva) chased a Palmetto Bug into our apartment, it was so big. It took about 15 minutes for us to find and kill it, and sounded like an egg cracking. I called the Leasing office and the lady told me it was a Palmetto Bug I told her it was a flying roach!! NO MORE BUG TALK - I’m having an allergic reaction - YUCK!!!!
JJK Start hiding her stuff and when she can’t find it tell her if she would take care of her things she would know where they were when she wanted them. It’s a Jedi Mind Trick, but it might work, cause you need some help dude!
Kinder I’m going to a conference this week and will have to stay in a hotel……. I am dreading it. Every since I saw the Dateline or 20/20 or who ever did the story on hotel rooms when they turn on the black light and you can see all of the stains that come from urine, semen and other bodily fluids………. y’all know what! LANEY Please change the subject! *Now looking for my baby benadryl……. I’m itching!

@ghost, not all women think that a man maybe all those things because they have a clean house. My man was rasied by his grandmother and she instilled clean in his system. I was never a nasty person because growing up my mom was like a drill sargent, but on occassion, I may not make up the bed or have junk mail everywhere, when my future husband moved in, he was so clean that I felt guilty about my un-tidy ways, he does everything for me even irons my work uniforms. When it comes to the bathroom, my body and the kitchen those are my maniac cleaning things to do, clean being clean
