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!

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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……

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.

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.

As a single guy, I think I’m pretty clean. I probably will always need to dust but I don’t let stuff pile up for more than a week. If I have company, I will make sure to give it a once over. 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!

Being from Up North, our bugs die every year so they are usually not too big, but down here in the south they live as long as humans (I am twitching just typing about bugs, my face is all twisted up uuugggghhh!!) 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

as far as jjk* goes, that’s a tough one b/c it sounds like the nasty trifling habits your wife has go way back. her family may be like that (momma and the other women in her family). buying a trashcan and throwing all of her stuff in it sounds easy enough…but the reality is, if she’s used to functioning like she does, it’ll only infuriate her and cause more problems in the marriage. if in seven years, it has not come to her attention that she keeps a nasty living space, it probably won’t happen. the only person you can change **jjk is you.

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

NO MORE BUG TALK - I’m having an allergic reaction - YUCK!!!!

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

Afternoon Bloggers! I am a bundle of contradictions on the cleanliness thing. I hate dirt! I can’t stand to see anything dirty. But, I HATE to clean! Like SJ I was forced to spend a good chunk of my childhood cleaning on Saturdays. It’s still a habit of mine to get up on Sat. morning and start the laundry, vacuum, etc. I can’t stand to clean the bathroom, and yet I equally can’t stand for it to be dirty. I have taken the lazy girl route, and sprayed the Scrubbing Bubbles in the morning and come back in the afternoon to scrub out the shower and sink. And don’t get me started on cleaning the toilet. When I’ve got more $$, I’m hiring a cleaning service. I hate to clean THAT much! But, I just love the lines in the carpet, the shine of my bathroom mirror, and a sparkling shower. The only thing I don’t do regularly and just don’t care about is make up the bed. For some reason, that just doesn’t bother me.

And on the hand washing thing…in my building we have a woman we have dubbed “Mrs. No-Flush.” Whomever this interloper is, she routinely leaves…ummm…packages in the toilet for the next person to be surprised by. I have nearly thrown up on a couple of occasions b/c her packages have been so…surprising! I figure, if she ain’t flushin’, she ain’t washin’ a finger either. So, I’m one of those people who walk out w/ the paper towel in my hand to turn on/off the faucet and open the door.

abc I can give a class in laundry folding 101. All t-shirts are to be folded sleeves to the back label facing out and stacked neatly in the drawer with no overlapping in stacks. Socks are not to be folded within each other but rolled together and placed into sock organizer (Found at participating stores near you). Underwear should be given the fold and roll treatment where it folded once and tightly rolled to resemble a cylinder and place neatly in drawer. Shirts and blouses are to be placed on wood hanger with all buttons facing to the right and collars folded down. Slacks are to be placed on matching wood hangers with seams aligned and folded evenly over hanger. Skirts are to hang using skirt hangers and not folded across a hanger. ALL sweaters are to folded and placed on shelf. Do Not, I repeat do not hang sweaters on hangers. All garments placed in closet should be color coordinated for easy wardrobe accessing. Shoe are to be keep in shoe boxes, if you have gotten rid of the boxes you can purchase standing shoes racks or plastic shoe boxes at any container store. If while residing in my house I find that you have left clothing hanging out of the drawer the entire drawer will be dumped on the floor waiting for you to get it right.

I just might be able to beat your story!

My lying, cheating, ex-fiance (4 yrs ago) was the most disgusting excuse for a man. I lived in Warner Robins and he lived in Roswell. We spent most of the time at my place in WR. I admit to having some clutter, but his place was just nasty. It was so bad that I didn’t want to visit there.

First of all, you had to kick items around to make a path to get anywhere. There were boxes and packing material, clothes, and anything else you can imagine all over the place. The only place to sit was on a nasty loveseat. There were always weeks-old dishes and take-out boxes surrounding it. In the kitchen, there was trash and dirty dishes everywhere. There were even meat packaging labels somehow permanently stuck to the linoleum!

The bathroom was disgusting and I made him clean it each time I visited before I would use it. There were stains around the toilet and I still don’t know how a tub could get that black!

The only room he would attempt to pick up before I visited was the bedroom. OMG, it was just disgusting. Once I visited and we had some popcorn while watching a movie on the bed. The next time I visited, several MONTHS later, the bowl and popcorn kernals were still there!

I never saw any bugs, but I was fully expecting to see a giant roach. Oh wait.. he WAS the giant roach!

There is no exaggeration folks! Needless to say, I am so glad that I don’t have to deal with him anymore! Man, I must have been stupid back then because now I wouldn’t put up with a bit of that!

I feel icky just writing about it!

Come back 2hours later and the roaches were having a dinner party…wiping a single tear from my eye…I quietly left out of the apartment…stop by the Dew Drop Inn…Purchase 2 can of raid, 4 raid bombs, boric acid, and a mask…Kool Moe Dee walk my @ZZ back toward the apartment. Young cats, lay’n’lo to hood whip my blackness, seeing the look in my eyes, pause and walk their a$$ back to the 11 ave Rainbow apartment…Quietly reentering the roach nest with mask in place…Calmly walk John Woo style into the kitchen and unloaded both cans, preceded to do the same throughout the two bedroom apartment, placing a can of raid Bombs in each room, and coolly as JustMe, walk myself out of the apartment.

Lissa Your description of your ex’s house sounds EXACTLY like my ex-mother-in-law’s apartment. But she’s a darn woman and over 60 living like that!!! He clothes, shoes, coats were so freaking expensive and to see her apartment like that was just a disgrace. She’s a classic case of trying to keep up with the Joneses, wanting to floss all the time with her appearance when she owned NOTHING except the stuff she wore. She was an RN, who always having stuff cut off but would work MAD OVERTIME (I’m talking like $3000 extra on a paycheck) just to buy stuff to wear to a church convention! Now, if you had the capability and leeway to make that kind of extra money….why not do it to BUY a house or something of real value. And her sorry son was the same way.

On the real though, if you’re looking for a good deal on sheets, try West Point at the North GA Premium Oulets (up GA 400), thats the only place I buy sheets from. They are REALLY, REALLY inexpensive. Im not into designer names and all that, but about once or twice a year, they have a sell on the Ralph Lauren sheets. I have a queen size bed, and they the flat and fitted sheets, 300 count, on sale for $5.99. They were out of season or irregular but nothing was majorly wrong with them :)

I’m very sure she’s telling the truth. You can’t tell how a person is until you see where they live. I have a good friend who dresses very cute. Would never guess she’s a pack rat and very messy. I never said anything to her since she knows she’s messy but never does anything about it. I love to clean but I’m not a neat freak by any means. I will clean once a week and just pick up around the house the rest of the time. I love cleaning only because of the results. Vaccuumed floor, shiny sink, clean tub and toilet. I can’t stand for my house to stink one bit. Air freshners are a must and I always change the cat box and take the garbage out before anything starts to get funky.

I guess its time for me to share my nasty incident. I had this job that had an occasional roach problem because people would leave food around. I introduced one of my female co-workers to one of my male friends. They hit it off and kicked it for a while. He went to her house for a home cooked meal, she was Jamaican and a great cook. This evening she took work home with her and left her briefcase in the kitchen as she began to cook right after work. When he got there the candle light dinner was cool. While they were eating, one of the critters from work crawled out of her briefcase and up the side of the counter in plain view, highlighted by the candlelight. Luckily he had known about our roach at work situation and knew she was clean but she was so embarrassed by the incident she could never cook for him again. We still laugh about it to this day.

@Peach, men have water around the vanity because we have big hands!

@ JJK, you knew how she was when you met her, whey did you think it was going to change? What does she do/say when company comes over? I agree with Blue_K you have to man up and let her know her azz is nasty and ish needs to change.

BlueK I have lived in an apartment twice in my life. My dad told me, from growing up in the Dominican, that when you are living in an apartment if the occupants that share walls with you have bugs then chances are you will have a visitor or two every now and then. Especially if they spray their apartment.

When I moved into an apartment he went to find the maintenance person and ask them if my potential neighbors had bug problems. In one complex the maintenance guy said one lady did and my father went to the leasing office to request another apartment for me and when they refused he wouldn’t help me or let my brothers help me unload my furniture. I lost my deposit and first month rent. I lived with my parents for 2 weeks until I found another complex to move in.

Afternoon folks!

GO FALCONS!!!

On topic, I would say I am usually the junkier one in relationships but when I’m dating someone I always try to keep the crib clean. But right now? If someone rings my doorbell, I wouldn’t even answer it - with me traveling almost every other weekend and working late during the week, I can’t seem to get a handle on things.

I’ll wash clothes and by the time they get put up, its time to wash again. Or, by the time I unpack from one trip to Atlanta, its time to pack again.

I used to keep a junky car - but now that I have two, alternating between them helps me to keep them clean.

So I’m going through a junky house phase right now - but its never dirty. My trash never stinks and the bathrooms are clean - I just have to remember to flush the toilets I don’t use periodically because the hard water here in Texas tends to leave stains.

On the shower tip - I don’t put my feet in any shower I didn’t clean myself. When in hotels, I place a hand towel down and step on it. I used to be a shower shoe fanatic until I almost slipped and cracked my skull wearing them things one time.

When I moved into my current house, I got my shower re-done and I still haven’t sat in the tub yet. I periodically fill the tub with bleach and let it sit - but this is the first and last time I will buy a pre-owned house. I’m sure they tub is clean enough, but just the thought of sitting where someone else has sat their naked behind for the past 4 years freaks me out.

Sorry for the long post folks.

MrGetDown How could you not like Maya???? They should’ve wrote Lynn off. I’m tired of her grown azz not having a place to live, never having a job….. If I was the writer, Joan would’ve gotten back with the recovering sex addict. Toni and her baby would’ve stayed in town and she would have a new boyfriend and Jabari’s azz would be off to college somewhere. His character is pointless. William would’ve married Jill Scott’s character (yall remember her being on the show) and she would be the 4th girlfriend.

ImAPeach404 I see you still got jokes…lol. I got the West Point store written down so I can step my sheet game up. Plus it sucks when I forget that both sets are in the laundry when I come home in late at night. Blue Go to h3ll, I lost by 3 points and Portis would have had me winning by 15 points!!…lol

Kym just follow Blue because I don’t understand how we have no offense whatsoever and we can’t stop anybody in the 4th quarter! I got hate in my heart and I’m letting it out…lol.

And no sweaty azz people in the car smelling like corn chips! If we go and play ball, I’m taking a shower at the gym. MLB Pg. 17- Always keep a gym bag and emergency change of clothes in the trunk with all the essentials, including toilet paper! So if you riding with me you better take a shower or ride with someone else who drove. I know I drove my poor parents crazy in high school when they picked me up after practice….lol.

LOL JustMe. The funny thing I have been living this way sooo long it’s normal to me. The one thing I should have inherited from my mother but didn’t was her laundry sorting routine. In our laundry room growing up she had five big baskets and they each had a different color ribbon tied to the handle. When we brought our dirty laundry to be washed each person, including my dad, had to sort their laundry into the appropiate color basket. (i.e. White clothes to white ribbon, jeans to blue, and so on). All the grays, light blues and what have you went together. All she had to do then was dump the clothes in the washer only checking for loose change and an occasional stray sock.

Oh, the worst thing with having kids is that piece of crayon from their pocket that you missed that makes its way to the dryer.

LOL, I guess you all can tell this is something that I am passionate about. I can go on all day about stuff like this. I will try to end it here…I said try so don’t shoot me if I post another comment.

I’m sorta over the top when it comes to sheets and my bed. I coordinate all the way down to the bed skirt and rugs. A bed is for relaxation and good sleep. There might be zero in my frig and cabinets but my bed will always be tight. Nothing like slidding into nice crisp clean sheets and down pillows.

Palmetto Bugs - they call them tree roaches here and the first time I saw one, it almost ran me out of my own house. I called the exterminator that day! Then I fussed at my boss and he was like ‘you didn’t have those in GA?’

Kym I am dead last in that league you hooked me up with, but I’m in the #1 spot in my other league. I’m not even going to go into the reasons why I’m last, I’m just mad that its messing up my overall yahoo fantasy profile. But I must say, the fantasy football gods were smiling on me last night. In one league I was leading by quite a bit and my opponent had McNabb - surely McNabb won’t get him 40 points, so I had that one in the W column. In the other league my opponent had Westbrook and Smith and I had Favre - I was only up by 10 pts, so I pretty much put that down as an ‘L’. Then Westbrook didn’t play so I was like ‘its a wrap’. NOT - that dern Favre got me negative points! I was so happy when they took McNabb out - my opponent only needed 4 more pts to beat me. But when they took Favre out, I was jumping for joy cause his tail was about to make me lose my lead.

Blog Question I need your comments, esp from the guys. I recently met a man who I think is really intelligent and fun to be around. I would like to get to know him better. Thing is, he lives out of town. (He is not married, I checked.) He has expressed a desire to see me again, but he won’t be able to come back to Atlanta before the end of the month, as he will be traveling. He has a trip planned to Miami next weekend and has asked me to join him there. I am assuming that if I go, I will pay for my ticket, but that he will pay for accommodations, since he already has a room there. I do not want there to be any freaky contact between us for a while, and I am fine with letting him know that. Should I meet him in the MIA? Thanks in advance.

Foots don’t ever assume when you are dealing with travel. You need to make sure you have your own finances to take care of self because you never know how ol boy might act up. And if you are really honest with yourself and you don’t want anything to go down you will get your own room. That’s just basic. However have a real upfront discussion with him in regards to who is taking care of what. If you are going to get your own room can he apply if any corporate discount he is recieving? Will you be sharing a rental car? Without proper discussion and planning a potential good weekend can become a weekend from He!!.

The money isn’t a problem for me, and I guess I could get a room myself. And I didn’t even think about the corporate discount, I could get one from my company too.

I would love to go like Jake says, but I think that the Blog Consensus is to Stay My Azz Home. :-( Well, I’ll talk to him about it and give you guys an update on the final decision next week. He might be under the “crazy classification” by that time anyway…

Kym - basically I’m dead last for a few reasons.

• IMO we had the draft too early. So I have Brady as my ‘star’ QB. I had Dominick Davis on my roster for a long time before the pulled him from the can’t cut list. I also picked up Chris Chambers because I thought Culpepper was gonna do some thangs. If the folks will let me, Imma be the commissioner in my other league next year and we won’t hold the draft until after the 3rd preseason game.

• I was so geeked to get started I didn’t look into the settings - so I really didn’t know how the scoring worked until I had my players intact. I had Brad Johnson as one of my backup QBs but he doesn’t get a lot of points the way the scoring works in this league. Plus, I didn’t have my bye week list with me, so I got shanked on some byes.

• Finally, because I can’t access the site from work and I don’t stay on the computer enough, I missed out on some good players - like Pennington and Grossman when they started to flourish. In this league we have a ton of players on the bench - so other folks have star RBs and WRs riding the bench because they can.

But overall, its all my fault because I didn’t do my due diligence before the draft.

Hey Foots First off if he invites you he needs to pay for everything including plane ticket.

Secondly, don’t go. You haven’t known him long enough sounds like. He could be a gentleman and respect your wishes but there is that chance that he isn’t.

If you do decide to go, leave some bread crumbs behind, let everybody know where you going to be, where you’re staying, jot down his drivers license # (if he likes you he won’t mind giving you that info).

@Foots I think you should go. Get your own room and explain to the dude (before your departure)that you want to get to know him, but it’s too soon for sex. You may want to have one of your girlfriends accompany you (for security and c#ck blocking purposes). You both can go, enjoy yourself and get to know dude at the same time. However, don’t try to occupy all of the man’s time while there. You should part ways early in the evening to give him an opportunity to pursue a more willing participant if he so desires. If he chooses to remain with you knowing there is no haps with the sex as opposed to going head hunting, that speaks volumes about his character.

Foots IF you decide to go, take a friend with you. I took a trip to spend a weekend with a guy I knew for 20-plus years but hadn’t seen in several years, and got to ATL and his azz stood me up. Wouldn’t have been so bad if I hadn’t been by myself. If I’d known he was going to trip, I would have saved myself the unnecessary $600 I spent chillin in the hotel room and driving that slow azz Ford Focus I rented (and nearly getting killed on the downtown connector b/c that sucker needed a strong gust of wind to compete w/ the other REAL cars).

My lesson learned was: don’t go on trips w/ people you don’t know well or haven’t seen in a minute. If he really wants to spend time with you, he’ll understand that going to MIA might be a bit uncomfortable for you, and it would be better if he came to you. I’d flat out tell him I don’t know you like dat!

You know what ticks me off. I just had the shortest dumbest conversation with an employee. We have two men here working the same position and receiving the same pay. They both started around the same time within weeks of each other. Employee#1 just bought a new house for his family (wife and 2 kids). Employee#2 lives in an apartment alone with his son. Don’t pay any child support but can’t afford to buy a house. He sashays his behind in here with balls of brass assuming that Employer#1 is earning more doing the same job, because he can afford to purchase a house. I assure him that they are making the same amount and Employee #1 even claims zero allowances. Now how is this possible Employee #2 wanders. So I tell him, first look at the shirt you are wearing it says Sean John. Pants say the same. Go out there and take a look at Employee #1’s shirt it says Wrangler or something of equal value. Look at his pants, they don’t say anything. Shoes? Your Timberlands to his tie-up oxfords. That’s how he does it. When will people get a real clue?

Foots, if he has half a brain he’d know that by making the offer, he’d be raising in your mind all the things being discussed; even if you were to decide to go, you’d have a measure of unease about the unknown, which is him. The best definition of a gentleman, to me, is one who does his best to not cause such discomfort, thus, the offer itself is not a gentlemenly act.

And all day he walks around with the attitude that he doesn’t really need that shyt, but he’s just kickin’ it because he ain’t got nothing else to do all day.

I would have assumed that he would want to spend the time with me since he asked me there and that if he wanted the easy piece, it would have been much easier to get it if he didn’t invite me at all. Saves him the drama of having to explain his actions and his disappearance. It seems a LOT more complicated that way. But I’m thinking like a woman…

By NCgirlfromATL

Foots Like I said, I learned my lesson. The next trip to ATL was with me and my girls! And when ole boy called and wanted to hook up, and stood me up again I didn’t sweat it, b/c me and my best friend had already made plans. I suspected his shady azz would be a no-show this time. What’s really bad?!? Our parents were best friends when I lived down there, and we (me, him and his siblings) basically grew up together in each other’s homes.

But I feel you on the traveling alone thing. I do it a lot too, but usually just for business. It’s hard sometimes to find friends who have the time (a lot of my friends are in education) or the money to be able to take off on a trip. I don’t know what you’ll decide to do, but make sure, if you go alone, that you have security checks in place. One of my friends and I have a system where, if we go out w/ a new guy, we call the other person with a description of the guy, his number, where we’re going to be, and what time we should start to panic if we haven’t heard from the other. It sounds a little paranoid, but folks are crazy, and you don’t want to be that woman/man that didn’t tell anyone that you had a date w/ a new person and they can’t find your butt 3 days later.
