Thinking about Jack Klugman . Thinking about Oscar and Felix. Thinking about ironing .....and housekeeping. Have to say I'm an Oscar who was married to a Felix. He made lists; I made messes. I miss him, but that's another matter for another time.
Which type are you, Oscar or Felix?
@nextone,
I IRON nextone. What else you want to know?
@nextone,
Definitely an Oscar. You're seen my place. Can there be any doubt?
Oscar for housekeeping, Felix for bookkeeping.
I like to think they're in some cosmic apartment, and Klugman is drying his hands on the kitchen curtains while Randall becomes apoplectic.
I started out in my own apartment as a Felix. Time and a life of too much remodeling of houses and having studios to mess around in and jobs with a lot of detailed work have wrought drastic change, so now I'm a full time Oscar.
I own an iron. It's in the bottom drawer in the cabinet in the laundry room in case I ever feel a need for it. If I did, I'd have to go out and buy an ironing board. Fat chance.
I’m definitely a Felix, I like everything clean and neat, now the Puerto Rican is just the opposite. He’s a slob lol.
Thanks for responding.
Roger, You were the inspiration for this thread! If I knew how to do a link, I'd have done one in my first post. (Just another wrinkle I haven't ironed out.)
Edgarblythe, Not catching your reference, what's a Tex?
Jespah, Think many of us have similar splits. Your words reminded me of the scene in Working Girl when Melanie Griffith's character says to Harrison Ford's character. "I've a mind for numbers, and a body for sin."
Roberta, < smile > If I knew how to use emoticons.........
Ossobucco, Lots of irons in the fire, lead to lots of irons in cabinets in the laundry room. Those cabinets in the corner, on the bottom, with the cobwebs on their doors.
Jcboy, Agree opposites attract.
Raprap, If I understand entropy, then each of us will in time be less than "balls of fire" in any activity. For now, I'll stick at inertia.
@nextone,
Step one.
Click on reply.
See the small green letters at the top, open BBCode editor.
Click that.
Check out the buttons by putting your cursor over and moving it across a sentence you have typed.
See what happens.
@ossobuco,
1..ok
2 :
shock: ..ok
OK..didn't realize pix don't show until I hit reply. Thanks Osso.
@ossobuco,
I misspoke, in that I put my cursor over a sentence of mine first, before hitting a button, but I'm not sure that's important. I think so.
Are You A Felix or An Oscar?
are we talking cat or grouch
i'm more a snuffle-up-a-gus
or a push-me pull-you
@djjd62,
The snuffle-up-a-gus strikes me as an Oscar.
Push-me Pull-you llama-like elegant, frustrated seems more Felix.
@nextone,
My roommate thinks I'm a Felix because I do the dishes in a mostly timely fashion and clean the apartment once a week. I feel like a reformed Oscar. I'm still not very organized.
I'm a Fescar or Oscalix as the case may be.
The slob and the neat-nik continuously wars within me.
